a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions,

from such Investment, acquisition, merger or consolidation which is being given
pro forma effect that have been or are expected to be realized). If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma
effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in
effect on the Applicable Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for
the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to
such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed
to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial
or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such
Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the
computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving
credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the
average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.
Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate
based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered
rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually
chosen or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may
designate.

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company
shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such
record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board
Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the
first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later
than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of
record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record
date; provided, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after
the record date. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of
the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or any
Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Note.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 106. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company, any Guarantor and Agent. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made
upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Guarantor shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing (which may be via facsimile) to or with the Trustee at The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 700 S. Flower Street, Suite 500, Los Angeles,
CA 90017, Attention: Corporate Unit, or

(2) the Company or any Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if made, given, furnished or delivered in writing and mailed, first
class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the
Company or such Guarantor addressed to it at the address of its principal office
specified in the first paragraph, Attention: General Counsel, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or such
Guarantor.

SECTION 107. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice
of any event to Holders by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and delivered electronically or mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Note
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Notices given by
publication shall be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made
and notices sent electronically or given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
shall be deemed given five calendar days after being sent or mailed.

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to
this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other
similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall
have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such
instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated
persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced
whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company
elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by
a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act
upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall
be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or
expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and
compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or
are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to
assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit
instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the
risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or
interception and misuse by third parties.

In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service
or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any
event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any
provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall

 

-39-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed
with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section
headings herein, the Table of Contents and the reconciliation and tie between
the TIA and this Indenture are for convenience of reference only, are not
intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns. All agreements of the Company in this
Indenture and the Notes will bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee
in this Indenture will bind its successors. All agreements of each Guarantor in
this Indenture will bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in
Section 1209 hereof.

SECTION 110. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any
Paying Agent, any Notes Registrar and their successors hereunder and the Holders
any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.

SECTION 112. Governing Law. This Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantee shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are
required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be
governed by such provisions.

SECTION 113. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Note shall not be a
Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of
the Notes) payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest need not be
made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date,
or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided, that no interest shall accrue
for purposes of such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

SECTION 114. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the
Company or any Guarantor or any of their parent companies shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes,
the Guarantees or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of such obligations or their creation to the extent permitted by
applicable law. Each Holder by accepting a Note and the related Guarantee waives
and releases all such liability to the extent permitted by applicable law. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and
the Guarantees. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the
federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is
against public policy.

SECTION 115. Trust Indenture Act Controls. If any provision of this Indenture
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be
included in this Indenture by the TIA, the provision required by the TIA shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision
of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be
deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may
be.

 

-40-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 116. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be original; but such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. One signed copy is enough
to prove this Indenture.

SECTION 117. USA PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance
with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial
institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that
identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens
an account. The Company agrees that it will provide the Trustee with information
about the Company as the Trustee may reasonably request in order for the Trustee
to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 118. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, ANY GUARANTOR AND THE
TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

ARTICLE TWO

NOTE FORMS

SECTION 201. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes, the
Private Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes are set forth in Annex 1 attached
hereto (the “Appendix”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part
of, this Indenture. The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix
which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture.
The Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule,
agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any
such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of
the Note set forth in the Appendix and Exhibit A are part of the terms of this
Indenture.

SECTION 202. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by any two Officers. The signature of any
Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any
future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on
the Notes.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any
time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to
the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee
for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order
shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

On the Issue Date, the Company shall deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,300,000,000 executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Notes, specifying the principal amount and

 

-41-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

registered holder of each Note, directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes
and deliver the same to the persons named in such Company Order and the Trustee
in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Initial Notes. At any time and from time to time after the Issue Date, the
Company may deliver Additional Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Additional Notes, specifying the principal amount of and
registered holder of each Note, directing the Trustee to authenticate the
Additional Notes and deliver the same to the persons in such Order and the
Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver
such Additional Notes. On Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for
original issue Exchange Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$1,300,000,000 plus the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes
issued; provided that such Exchange Notes shall be issuable only upon the valid
surrender for cancellation of Initial Notes and any Additional Notes of a like
aggregate principal amount in accordance with an Exchange Offer pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Exchange Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent to
the issuance of such Exchange Notes are complied with (including the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement related thereto). In
each case, the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably require in connection with such
authentication of Notes. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to
be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be
authenticated.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by
the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate
upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

In case the Company or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article Eight of this
Indenture, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or
shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting
from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company or
such Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have
executed a supplemental indenture hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article
Eight of this Indenture, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition
may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for
other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in
phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like
tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount;
and the Trustee, upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of
such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any
new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or
substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor
Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide
for the exchange of all Notes at the time Outstanding for Notes authenticated
and delivered in such new name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE THREE

THE NOTES

SECTION 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may
be authenticated and issued under this Indenture is not limited; provided that
any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture are issued in accordance with
Sections 202, 312 and 1011 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial
Notes.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “7.625% Senior Notes Due 2019” of
the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be October 1, 2017, and the
Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 7.625% per annum from the Issue Date,
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, payable on August 15, 2011 and semi annually thereafter on
February 15 and August 15 in each year and at said Stated Maturity, until the
principal thereof is paid or duly provided for and to the Person in whose name
the Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on
February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (each,
a “Regular Record Date”).

The principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Special Interest, if any,
on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose in The City and State of New York or, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the
Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register of Holders;
provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest and
Special Interest, if any, with respect to Notes represented by one or more
permanent Global Notes registered in the name of or held by the Depositary or
its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated
by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in New York shall be the office
of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

Holders shall have the right to require the Company to purchase their Notes, in
whole or in part, in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to Section 1016.
The Notes shall be subject to repurchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as
provided in Section 1017.

The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven.

The due and punctual payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest
on the Notes payable by the Company is irrevocably unconditionally guaranteed,
to the extent set forth herein, by each of the Guarantors.

SECTION 302. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 303. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively
evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes,
the temporary Notes shall be

 

-43-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the
office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Notes.

SECTION 304. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company
shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency
designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the
“Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of
transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or any other form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all
reasonable times, the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as note registrar (the “Note
Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency
of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination
or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive; provided that no exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes shall
occur until an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been declared
effective by the SEC, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate
confirming that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC and the Initial Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange
Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be
the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or
be accompanied by written instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or
redemption of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any taxes, fees or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 202, 303, 906, 1016, 1017, or 1108 not involving
any transfer.

SECTION 305. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (1) any mutilated
Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or (2) the Company and the Trustee receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note,
and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any claim,

 

-44-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

loss, cost or liability resulting from such lost or stolen Note, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired
by a Protected Purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial
Code) (a “Protected Purchaser”), the Company shall execute and upon Company
Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such
mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note
of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 306. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided that,
subject to Section 301 hereof, each installment of interest may at the Company’s
option be paid by (1) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the
written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 307, to the
address of such Person as it appears in the Note Register or (2) transfer to an
account located in the United States maintained by the payee.

(b) Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such
defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and
interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be paid by
the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or
(2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at
the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted

 

-45-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more
than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 107, not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so
given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed
payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in
lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid,
and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 307. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment of a Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is
registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 304 and 306)
interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 308. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to
any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold,
and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the
Company shall so acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not
operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such
Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.
No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the
Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures unless by Company Order the
Company shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it.

SECTION 309. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 310. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form
and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of
transfer. When a Note is presented to the Notes Registrar or a co-registrar with
a request to register a transfer, the Notes Registrar shall register the
transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a)
of

 

-46-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Notes
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Notes Registrar shall make
the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

SECTION 311. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case, if then generally in
use) in addition to serial numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such
“CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in addition to serial numbers
in notices of redemption, repurchase or other notices to Holders as a
convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and
“Common Code” numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any
notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the
serial or other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such
redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any
change in the “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers applicable to the
Notes.

SECTION 312. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company may, subject to
Section 1011 of this Indenture, issue additional Notes having identical terms
and conditions to the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date (the “Additional
Notes”). The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes
subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under
this Indenture. Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes issued on
the Issue Date and Exchange Notes issued for any Additional Notes subsequently
issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon
Company Request and at the Company’s expense cease to be of further effect
(except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section and as to surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for
herein or pursuant hereto) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture when:

(1) either,

(A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 305 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or
segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company
or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,

(i) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of
redemption pursuant to Section 1105 or otherwise, or

(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

 

-47-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company or any Guarantor, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay
and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest
to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(2) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing
funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous
deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens
in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a
result of such deposit and such deposit shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any Credit Facilities or any other
material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the
Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is
bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such
deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness
and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(3) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this
Indenture;

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this
Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes at the
Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

(5) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of
the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 612 and, if money or
Government Securities shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee
under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such
satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money or Government Securities deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose
payment such money or Government Securities has been deposited with the Trustee;
but such money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government
Securities in accordance with Section 401 by reason of any legal proceeding or
by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the

 

-48-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 401 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 401; provided
that if the Company has made any payment of principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent.

owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or
guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both

(A) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such
Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable
grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay
principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in
the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become
due prior to its stated maturity and

(B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at

Subsidiary;

(7) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be
in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer
of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be, denies
that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such
effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release
of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture.

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 501(6) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes issued under this Indenture may declare the principal of (and premium, if
any), interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Outstanding Notes
to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to
the Trustee if given by Holders).

(b) Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will
be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default specified in Section

 

-50-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

501(6) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the principal
amount of all Outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due
and payable without any notice, declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a
judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee
as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, so
long as such recission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Notes,

(B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, and Special Interest, if any, on) any
Outstanding Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration, and interest on such unpaid principal at the rate borne by the
Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel; and

(2) Events of Default, other than the non payment of amounts of principal of (or
premium, if any, on) or interest on Notes, which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 513,

no such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

(d) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of any Event of
Default specified in Section 501(4) above, such Event of Default and all
consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default) shall be
annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the
Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose,

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default
has been discharged, or

(2) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or
action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or

(3) if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

(e) At the request of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding following any declaration of the acceleration of the Notes
pursuant to this Section 502 that has not been rescinded, the Trustee may
instruct the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the
Trustee to consummate a Special Redemption.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The Company covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Note
when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, or Special
Interest, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and
premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne
by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes and
collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon
the Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders under this Indenture and the Guarantees by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such
rights, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy,
including seeking recourse against any Guarantor.

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or
any other obligor including any Guarantor, upon the Notes or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee
shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal,
premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise,

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if
any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the

 

-52-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights
of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the
production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money or property collected by
the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at
the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon
presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct in writing; provided that all sums due and owing to the
Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture.

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default
is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have
requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the
receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 

-53-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not
given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day
period,

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture or the Guarantees to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the
Guarantees, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable
benefit of all the Holders (it being further understood that the Trustee does
not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment, as provided herein (including, if applicable, Article Eleven) and in
such Note of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 306)
interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, and
such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder
has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture or the Guarantees and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, the Company, any Guarantor, any other obligor of the Notes, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their
former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee
and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Notes in the last paragraph of Section 305, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee
or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 512. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee;
provided that:

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture, and such Holders have complied with Section 603(6),

 

-54-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction, and

(3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal
liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting.

SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 508 and 902, the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes
may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive any past Default hereunder
and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (1) in
respect of the payment of principal of (and premium, if any), or the interest on
any such Note held by a non-consenting Holder, or (2) in respect of a covenant
or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Company, the
Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the
Company, the Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 515. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or
in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant
in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 515 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder relating
to right to payment hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of
any such certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof
to be provided to it, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but
not to verify the contents thereof.

(b) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or of which written
notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee
by the Company, any other obligor of the Notes or by any Holder, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s
own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act,
or its own willful misconduct, except that

(1) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph
(a) of this Section;

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith

to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Indenture; and

(4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of

or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults. Within 30 days after the earlier of receipt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall

omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

(4) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default with respect to the Notes unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the

by the Trustee by the Company or by any Holder of Notes and references this
Indenture and the Notes;

resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the
Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor

indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if
a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a
Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one
year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company
and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith
upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor
Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted

fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

-60-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article.

SECTION 611. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but
not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if
such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time
any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in
the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall
have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate
of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided that, the right to adopt
the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate
Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor
or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 612. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the
Notes remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or
Agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Trustee to authenticate Notes and the Trustee shall give written notice of
such appointment to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent will serve, in the manner provided for in Section 107.
Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in
writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such
instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this
Section.

 

-61-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency
or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent; provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof
to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the
agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give written notice of
such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in
Section 107. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties
of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such
compensation for its services under this Section as shall be agreed in writing
between the Company and such Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed
thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an
alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

COVENANTS

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest. The Company
covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders that it will duly and
punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and Special
Interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and
this Indenture.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified
therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in The
City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The designated office of
the Trustee shall be such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company
shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Notes may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind any such designation; provided, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and
any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 1003. Money for Notes Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall
at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of (or premium, if any) or Special Interest, if any, or interest
on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it
will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the
principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or
interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to execute and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
will:

 

-69-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided;

(2) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any)
or interest; and

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust
by such Paying Agent.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order
direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same
trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying
Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,
premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on
Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as Trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper
published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day
and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.

SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do
or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect the corporate existence and that of each Restricted Subsidiary and the
corporate rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company and each
Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole.

SECTION 1005. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or
property of the Company or any Subsidiary and (2) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the
property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, that the Company shall not
be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate
reserves, if necessary (in the good faith judgment of management of the Company)
are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 1006. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties
owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the

condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment
and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may
be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, that nothing in
this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the maintenance of any
of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted
Subsidiary.

SECTION 1007. Insurance. The Company will at all times keep all of its and its
Subsidiaries’ properties which are of an insurable nature insured with insurers,
believed by the Company to be responsible, against loss or damage to the extent
that property of similar character is usually so insured by corporations
similarly situated and owning like properties.

SECTION 1008. Statement by Officers as to Default.

(a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the
activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding
quarter or the preceding fiscal year, as the case may be, has been made under
the supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether it
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to keep, observe, perform and fulfill its obligations
under this Indenture and further stating, as to each such officer signing such
certificate, that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company during such
preceding quarter or the preceding fiscal year, as the case may be, has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to keep, observe, perform and fulfill each and every such covenant
contained in this Indenture and no Default or Event of Default occurred during
such quarter or year, as the case may be, and at the date of such certificate
there is no Default or Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing or,
if such signers do know of such Default or Event of Default, the certificate
shall describe its status, with particularity and that, to the best of his or
her knowledge, no event has occurred and remains by reason of which payments on
the account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited
or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action each
is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Officers’ Certificate
shall also notify the Trustee should the Company elect to change the manner in
which it fixes its fiscal year-end. For purposes of this Section 1008(a), such
compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture.

(b) (1) When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under this Indenture, or (2) if the trustee for or the holder of any other
evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary gives any
notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed default (other than
with respect to Indebtedness in the principal amount of less than $50,000,000),
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or
facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event, notice or
other action within ten Business Days of its occurrence.

SECTION 1009. Reports and Other Information.

(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on
an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly
reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the
Indenture will require the Company to file with the SEC (and make available to
the Trustee and Holders of the Notes (without exhibits), without cost to each
Holder, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC):

 

-71-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (120 days for the fiscal
year ended May 1, 2011), all financial information that would be required to be
contained in an annual report on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form,
filed with the SEC, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a report on the annual
financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm;

(2) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of
each fiscal year (60 days for the fiscal quarter ended January 30, 2011), all
financial information that would be required to be contained in a quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC;

(3) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be
therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable
form; and

(4) any other information, documents and other reports which the Company would
be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act;

in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the
requirements specified in such form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC (i) if the SEC does
not permit such filing or (ii) prior to the consummation of an Exchange Offer or
the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement as required by the
Registration Rights Agreement, so long as if clause (i) or (ii) is applicable
the Company makes available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes
(for example, by posting such information on its public website), in addition to
providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, in each
case, at the Company’s expense and by the applicable date the Company would be
required to file such information pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence. To the extent any such information is not so filed or furnished, as
applicable, within the time periods specified above and such information is
subsequently filed or furnished, as applicable, the Company will be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default
with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured; provided that such cure
shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under “Events of Default
and Remedies” if Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then
Outstanding Notes have declared the principal, premium, if any, interest and any
other monetary obligations on all the then Outstanding Notes to be due and
payable immediately and such declaration shall not have been rescinded or
cancelled prior to such cure. In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the
foregoing, the Company will agree that, for so long as any Notes are
outstanding, it will furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and
prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be
delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The Company will
deliver the financial statements and information of the type required to be
delivered pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence of this covenant with
respect to the fiscal quarter ended January 30, 2011, which, notwithstanding the
foregoing, shall not be required to give pro forma effect to the Transactions,
shall not be required to contain financial statement footnote disclosure and
shall not be required to contain consolidating financial data with respect to
the Guarantor and non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the type contemplated by Rule
3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise.

In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Company
guarantees the Notes (which shall be permitted, subject to compliance with the
Indenture, at any time, at the Company’s sole discretion), the Indenture will
permit the Company to satisfy its obligations under this Section 1009 with
respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial
information relating to such parent; provided that the same is accompanied by
consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences
between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the

 

-72-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

information relating to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a
standalone basis, on the other hand. Such parent shall not be considered a
Guarantor by virtue of providing such guarantee, which may be released at any
time.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied
prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the
Shelf Registration Statement by the filing with the SEC of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement within the time periods
specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, with
such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act.

SECTION 1010. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

-84-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in one of the above clauses
of this Section 1011(b); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the

classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion
or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or
dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date
such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in
the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is
incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and
such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction
to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be
deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such
Indebtedness being Refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees,
underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such Refinancing.

(e) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other
Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being
Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable
to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is
in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

SECTION 1012. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
(except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any
related Guarantee on any asset or property of the Company or any Guarantor, or
any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, unless the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor)
are equally and ratably secured with (or in the event the Lien relates to
Subordinated Indebtedness, are secured on a senior basis to) the obligations so
secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. Any
Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to this
Section 1012 will provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the
Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes.

SECTION 1016. Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs after the Effective Date, unless, prior to the
time the Company is required to make a Change of Control Offer (as defined

with respect to all the Outstanding Notes as described under Sections 401 or
1101, the Company shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to

amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any,
to, but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the

with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder to the address of such Holder
appearing in the Note Register with a copy to the Trustee, or otherwise in
accordance with the procedures of the Depositary with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 1016
and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer
will be accepted for payment by the Company;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30
days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to
accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer

prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of
Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their
election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying
Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control
Offer, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of
the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such
Notes purchased;

(7) that if the Company is redeeming less than all of the Notes, the Holders of
the remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The
unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof;

 

-91-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control,
stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of
such Change of Control; and

(9) the other instructions, as determined by us, consistent with this
Section 1016, that a Holder must follow.

(b) While the Notes are in global form and the Company makes an offer to

exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes through the
facilities of the Depositary subject to its rules and regulations.

(c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase
of the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described

tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and

(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes
so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that all Notes or
portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Company.

(e) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate a new Note

publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the
Company and purchases all such Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a
Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control,
conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place
for the Change of Control at the time of the making of such Change of Control
Offer.

SECTION 1017. Asset Sales.

(a) After the Effective Date, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to consummate, directly or indirectly, an Asset Sale,
unless:

 

-92-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market
Value (as determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale)
of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the
consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the
amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance
sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the
date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such
incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance
sheet, as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company, other than
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed
by the transferee of any such assets (or are otherwise extinguished in
connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale) and for which the
Company and all such Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all
applicable creditors in writing,

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the
extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the
closing of such Asset Sale, and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value,
taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received
pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of (x) $150.0 million and (y) 2.00% of Total Assets at the time of the
receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of
each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time
received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other
purpose.

(b) Within 450 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt
of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale (the “Asset Sale Proceeds Application
Period”), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply
the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale

(1) to permanently repay:

(A) Obligations under a Credit Facility to the extent such Obligations were
incurred under Section 1011(b)(1), and to correspondingly reduce any outstanding
commitments with respect thereto;

(B) Obligations under Senior Secured Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor,
and to correspondingly reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto;

 

-93-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(C) Obligations under the Notes or any other Senior Indebtedness of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of other Senior Indebtedness, to
correspondingly reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto, if
applicable); provided that if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so
repay any such other Senior Indebtedness, the Company will reduce Obligations
under the Notes on a pro rata basis by, at its option, (A) redeeming Notes as
described under Section 1101, (B) making an offer (in accordance with the
procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase
their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued
but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Notes to be
repurchased or (C) purchasing Notes through open market purchases, at a price
equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof, in a manner that
complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law; or

(D) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than
Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; or

(2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses; provided that such
Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock
and results in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes
or continues to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or
(c) acquisitions of other property or assets, in the case of each of (a),
(b) and (c), either (i) used or useful in a Similar Business or (ii) that
replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset
Sale;

provided that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have
complied with this clause (2) if and to the extent that, within 450 days after
the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company has entered into and
not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to consummate any such Investment
described in this clause (2), and such Investment is thereafter completed within
180 days after the end of such 450-day period.

(c) To the extent of the balance of any Net Proceeds not invested or applied as
permitted by clauses (1) and (2) above (any such Net Proceeds, whether from one
or more Asset Sales, “Excess Proceeds”), the Company shall, prior to the
expiration of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period, make an offer to all
Holders of the Notes, and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such
Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum
aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, in
denominations of $2,000 initial principal amount and multiples of $1,000
thereafter, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price
in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, or, in the
case of Pari Passu Indebtedness represented by securities sold at a discount,
the amount of the accreted value thereof at such time, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such
offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. In the
event that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary prepays any Pari Passu
Indebtedness that is outstanding under a revolving credit or other committed
loan facility pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary shall cause the related loan commitment to be reduced in an amount
equal to the principal amount so prepaid.

Any Asset Sale Offer shall be commenced by the Company with respect to Excess
Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed
$50.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount
of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an
Asset Sale

 

-94-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess
Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness
surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased
or repaid on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of
the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such
Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 1017, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such
Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving
credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not
prohibited by this Indenture.

(e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase
of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described
in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(f) With respect to any partial redemption or repurchase of Notes made pursuant
to this Indenture, if less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any given
time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee (a) if
the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes
are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (c) by lot or
such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary;
provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed or repurchased in
part.

(g) Notices of purchase or redemption shall be delivered electronically or
mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60
days before the purchase or Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes at such
Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of
the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days
prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a
defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. If
any Note is to be purchased or redeemed in part only, any notice of purchase or
redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal
amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased or redeemed.

(h) The Company shall issue a new Note in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the
date fixed for redemption, unless such redemption is conditioned on the
happening of a future event. On and after the Redemption Date, unless the
Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest shall cease to
accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless such
redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event.

SECTION 1018. Special Interest Notice. In the event that the Company is required
to pay Special Interest to Holders of Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company will provide written notice (“Special Interest Notice”)
to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Special Interest no later than fifteen
days prior to the proposed payment date for the Special Interest, and the
Special Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Special Interest to be
paid by the Company on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be
under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to

 

-95-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

determine the Special Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or
calculation of the amount of Special Interest owed, or with respect to the
method employed in such calculation of the Special Interest.

SECTION 1019. Suspension of Covenants.

(a) During any period of time after the Effective Date that: (1) the Notes have
Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (2) no Default has
occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events
described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as
a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:

 

  (A) clause (a)(4) of Section 801;

 

  (B) Section 1010;

 

  (C) Section 1011;

 

  (D) Section 1013;

 

  (E) Section 1014;

 

  (F) Section 1015; and

 

  (G) Section 1017;

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant
Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be set
at zero. In addition, the Guarantees of the Guarantors shall also be suspended
as of such date (the “Suspension Date”). In the event that the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any
period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the
“Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment
Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment
Grade Rating or a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then
the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to
the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events and the Guarantees shall
be reinstated. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion
Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period”.
Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default,
Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under the
Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes or the Guarantees with
respect to the Suspended Covenants, and none of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring
during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any
contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, as a result of a
failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or
upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on
events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

(b) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock
issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred
or issued pursuant to Section 1011(a) or 1011(b) (in each case, to the extent
such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock would be permitted to be incurred or
issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to
Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding
on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock
would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 1011(a)
or 1011(b), such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock shall be deemed to have been
outstanding on the Effective Date, so that it is classified as permitted under
Section 1011(b)(3). On the

 

-96-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reversion Date, all Liens created, incurred or assumed during the Suspension
Period in compliance with this Indenture will be deemed to have been outstanding
on the Effective Date, so that they are classified as permitted under clause
(7) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” Calculations made after the
Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under
Section 1010 shall be made as though Section 1010 had been in effect prior to,
but not during, the Suspension Period; provided that any Subsidiaries designated
as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall automatically
become Restricted Subsidiaries on the Reversion Date (subject to the Company’s
right to subsequently designate them as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in compliance
with this Indenture).

(c) The Company shall give the Trustee prompt (and in any event not later than
five business days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any
Covenant Suspension Event. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall
assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The
Company shall give the Trustee prompt (and in any event not later than five
business days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any
occurrence of a Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a
Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are
in full force and effect.

SECTION 1020. Activities Prior to Consummation of the Acquisition. Prior to the
consummation of the Acquisition, the Company’s primary activities shall be
restricted to issuing the Notes, issuing capital stock to, and receiving capital
contributions from, Holdings, performing its obligations in respect of the Notes
and the Escrow Agreement, performing its obligations under the Merger Agreement,
consummating the Transactions, effecting the release of the Escrowed Funds and

substantially all of its assets or engaging in any transaction with its

the aggregate, materially adverse to Del Monte Foods Company and its

to the date notice is to be given, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense
of the Company.

Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be

part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to

ARTICLE TWELVE

GUARANTEES

SECTION 1201. Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and obligations of the
Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee for itself and on
behalf of such Holder, that: (1) the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on, or Special Interest in respect of, the Notes will be paid in full
when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including
the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay
under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the
overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent
lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall
be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
subject, however, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, to the limitation
set forth in Section 1204 hereof.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of
diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and
all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall
not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Guarantee. Each
Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment, performance
and compliance when due and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors hereby
agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if
any) or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration,
purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on
behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce
such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any
other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are
prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to
accelerate the Maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to
enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such
Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder, upon demand
therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such
rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the
Holders.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to
the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other
similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Guarantor, any
amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of each
of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in
full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each
Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee on the other hand,
(1) subject to this Article Twelve, the Maturity of the

 

-101-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five
hereof for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of
the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of
such obligation as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor
for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for
liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a “voidable
preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. The form of
Notation of Guarantee to be executed on each Note by each Guarantor is attached
as Exhibit B hereto.

SECTION 1202. Severability. In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to
the extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 1203. Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall cause any Restricted
Subsidiary required to guarantee payment of the Notes pursuant to the terms and
provisions of Section 1015 to (1) execute and deliver to the Trustee any
amendment or supplement to this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of
Article Nine of this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary
shall guarantee all of the obligations on the Notes, whether for principal,
premium, if any, interest (including interest accruing after the filing of, or
which would have accrued but for the filing of, a petition by or against the
Company under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not such interest is allowed as a
claim after such filing in any proceeding under such law) and other amounts due
in connection therewith (including any fees, expenses and indemnities), on an
unsecured senior basis and (2) deliver to such Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee to the effect that such amendment or
supplement has been duly executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary
and is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon the execution of any
such amendment or supplement, the obligations of the Guarantors and any such
Restricted Subsidiary under their respective Guarantees shall become joint and
several and each reference to the “Guarantor” in this Indenture shall, subject
to Section 1208, be deemed to refer to all Guarantors, including such Restricted
Subsidiary. Such Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 803 and
Section 1208.

SECTION 1204. Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability. Each Guarantor and by its
acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the guarantee by each such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy
Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating
to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Holders and each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of
such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that
will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of
such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made
by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect

 

-102-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to
this Section 1204, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 1205. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the
event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding
Guarantor”) under a Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a
contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the
Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) of each Guarantor (including the Funding
Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding
Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes or
any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of such
Guarantor. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the
lesser of (1) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such
Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent
liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities
incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee
of such Guarantor at such date and (2) the amount by which the present fair
salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount
that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its
debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities
incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of
such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 1206. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of
Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 1201; provided that, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to
enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of
subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this
Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 1207. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who
becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Guarantee provided for in Section 1201
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Company upon the
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any Guarantor.

SECTION 1208. Release of a Guarantor. Any Guarantee by a Guarantor of the Notes
shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(1)    (A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (i) the
Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer) after
which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all
the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in
compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Senior
Credit Facilities or the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such
Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such
guarantee;

(C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture;

(D) the Legal Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1302 hereof, or the Covenant
Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1303 hereof, or if the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 401;
or

 

-103-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(E) as described under Section 901 or 902; and

(2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

SECTION 1209. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will
receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by this Indenture and from its guarantee and waivers pursuant to
its Guarantees under this Article Twelve.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 1301. Company’s Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution, at any time,
with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 be
applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article Thirteen.

SECTION 1302. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1302, each of the Company
and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from its respective
obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set
forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this
purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that each of the Company and the Guarantors
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 1305 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of
Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of
(and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such payments are due,
solely out of the trust described in Section 1304, (2) the Company’s obligations
with respect to such Notes under Sections 303, 304, 305, 1002 and 1003, (3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the
obligations of each of the Company in connection therewith and (4) this Article
Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 1303 with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 1303. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1303, each of the Company
and the Guarantors shall be released from its respective obligations under any
covenant contained in Sections 801 and 802 and in Sections 1005, 1006, 1007 and
1009 through and including 1017 with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and
after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be
“Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration
or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes
hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect
to the Outstanding Notes, the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, may omit
to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of
any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a

 

-104-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Default or an Event of Default under Sections 501(3), 501(4), 501(5), 501(6),
501(7) and 501(9) and, with respect to only any Significant Subsidiary and not
the Company, Section 501(8), but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 1304. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The
following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1302 or
Section 1303 to the Outstanding Notes:

(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with
the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who
shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to
it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefit of the
Holders of such Notes; (A) cash in U.S. dollars, or (B) non-callable Government
Securities, or (C) a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient,
in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Outstanding Notes at the Stated Maturity (or Redemption Date, if
applicable and so indicated to the Trustee in writing); provided that the
Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such cash or the
proceeds of such Government Securities or combination thereof to said payments
with respect to the Notes. Before such a deposit, the Company may give to the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 1103 hereof, a notice of its election to
redeem all of the Outstanding Notes at a future date in accordance with Article
Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption
notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the United
States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(B) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable
U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in
the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the
Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred;

 

-105-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing
funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous
deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case the granting of Liens
in connection therewith) with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or any
other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the
Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is
bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such
deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness
and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

Section 1305; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held

exemption under the Securities Act and (2) the transferor of the Regulation S
Global Note or Rule 144A Global Note, as applicable, first delivers to the
trustee a written certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit 2) to the

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no
rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf
by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under
such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of
such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the
Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such
Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial
interest in any Global Note.

a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance
with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the
participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest
in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions
instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account
of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note
being transferred.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one
Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall
reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal
amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and
the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which
such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the
provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a

a nominee of such successor Depository.

Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to
such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures
as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3
(including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the

THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION ORIGINALLY
EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR
THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO
THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

Each Definitive Note shall also bear the following additional legend:

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND
TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT
MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING
RESTRICTIONS.

(ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (including any
Transfer Restricted Note represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to
exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a certificated Note that does not
bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of
such Transfer Restricted Note, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to
the Registrar that such sale or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such
certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note).

(iii) After a transfer of any Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant
to and during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement
with respect to such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may
be, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial Note or such Private
Exchange Note will cease to apply, the requirements requiring any such Initial
Note or such Private Exchange Note issued to certain Holders be issued in global
form will cease to apply, and a certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange
Note or an Initial Note or Private Exchange Note in global form, in each case
without restrictive transfer legends, will be available to the transferee of the
Holder of such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes upon exchange of such
transferring Holder’s certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or
directions to transfer such Holder’s interest in the Global Note, as applicable.

respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial
Notes, and Exchange Notes in certificated or global form, in each case without
the restricted notes legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto will be available to
Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Registered Exchange Offer.

 

-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v) Upon the consummation of a Private Exchange with respect to the Initial
Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes
issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect
to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and
Private Exchange Notes in global form with the global notes legend and the
applicable restricted notes legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto will be
available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Private Exchange.

(f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes,
redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the
Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time
prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal
amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an
adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then
the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by
the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

(g) No Obligation of the Trustee.

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest

Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face

Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically
become immediately due and payable. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture
relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any rights or
powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of
the Notes unless such Holders have offered indemnity or security against any
loss, liability or expense satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to certain
restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or
that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully, irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis, to the extent set forth
in the Indenture, by each of the Guarantors.

Blue Merger Sub Inc.

In care of

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.

9 West 57th Street, Suite 4200

New York, New York 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $             principal
amount of the 7.625% Senior Notes Due 2019 (the “Notes”) of Blue Merger Sub
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial
owner as follows:

Name:                                                  

Address:                                              

Taxpayer ID Number:                        

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an
institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the
Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale
in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest
in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our
business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear
the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities
Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the
following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer
such Notes prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of
original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the
Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale
Restriction Termination Date”) only (i) to the Company, (ii) in the United
States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified
institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A,
(iii) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is an institutional
accredited investor purchasing for its own account or for the account of an
institutional accredited investor, in each case in a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

minimum principal amount of the Notes of $250,000, (iv) outside the United
States in a transaction complying with the provisions of Rule 904 under the
Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (vi) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases
(i) through (vi) subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of our
property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times
within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state
securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent
to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of
the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (iii) above prior to the
Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the
Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an
institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for
investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act.
Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right
prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above to
require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other
information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE NOTE

OR PRIVATE EXCHANGE NOTE]

7.625% Senior Notes Due 2019

 

1. Principal and Interest.

The Company will pay the principal of this Note on February 15, 2019.

The Company promises to pay interest and Special Interest, if any, on the
principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth below,
at the rate of 7.625% per annum (subject to adjustment as provided below) except
that interest accrued on this Note pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this
Section 1 for periods prior to the applicable dates on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (as such terms are
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below) will accrue at
the rate or rates borne by the Notes from time to time during such periods.

Interest, and Special Interest, if any, will be payable semi-annually (to the
Holders of record of the Notes (or any Predecessor Notes) at the close of
business on February 1 or August 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment
Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing August 15, 2011.

The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 16, 2011, among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”).

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid on this Note or the Note surrendered in exchange therefor or, if
no interest has been paid, from February 16, 2011; provided that, if there is no
existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated
between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such Interest
Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

The Company shall pay interest and Special Interest if any, on overdue principal
and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the
extent lawful, at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to
the Notes.

 

2. Method of Payment.

The Company will pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal
amount of the Notes on each February 15 and August 15 to the Persons who are
Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at the close of business on
February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in
each case, even if the Note is cancelled on registration of transfer or
registration of exchange after such Regular Record Date; provided that, with
respect to the payment of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder
that surrenders this Note to any Paying Agent on or after February 15, 2019.

The Company will pay principal (and premium, if any) and interest in money of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal (and premium,
if any) and interest by its check payable in such money. The Company may pay
interest on the Notes either (a) by mailing a check for such interest to a
Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Note Register) or (b) by wire
transfer to an account located in the

 

A-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the
intervening period.

 

3. Paying Agent and Note Registrar.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will
act as Paying Agent and Note Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent
or Note Registrar upon written notice thereto. The Company, any Subsidiary or
any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or
co-registrar.

 

4. Indenture.

The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 16, 2011
(the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee.
Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise
indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms
of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall
control.

The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The Indenture does
not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

 

5. Redemption.

Optional Redemption. At any time prior to February 15, 2014, the Company may
redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as described in Section 1105 of
the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of

rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date.

part, upon notice as described in Section 1105 of the Indenture at the
Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth
below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Special Interest, if any, to

principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal

interest thereon and Special Interest, if any, to the applicable Redemption
Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to

after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such
redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of each such Equity
Offering.

Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000
principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder
may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Note
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Note Registrar need not register the
transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case
of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or
any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or
15 days before an interest payment date.

 

8. Persons Deemed Owners.

A registered Holder may be treated as the owner of a Note for all purposes.

 

9. Unclaimed Money.

If money for the payment of principal (premium, if any) or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money
back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the
money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property law
designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

 

10. Discharge and Defeasance Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

If the Company irrevocably deposits, or causes to be deposited, with the Trustee
money or Government Securities sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal
of (premium, if any) and accrued interest on the Notes (a) to the Redemption
Date or Maturity Date, the Company will be discharged from its obligations under
the Indenture and the Notes, except in certain circumstances for certain
covenants thereof, and (b) to the Stated Maturity, the Company will be
discharged from certain covenants set forth in the Indenture.

 

11. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the

 

A-5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outstanding Notes, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder,
the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among
other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency and
make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

 

12. Restrictive Covenants.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants with respect to
the following matters: (i) Restricted Payments; (ii) Incurrence of Indebtedness
and Issuance of Disqualified Stock; (iii) Liens; (iv) transactions with

days (or the successor time period then in effect under the rules and
regulations of the Exchange Act) after the end of each fiscal year, the Company
must report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

 

13. Successor Persons.

When a successor Person or other entity assumes all the obligations of its
predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor Person will be
released from those obligations.

 

14. Remedies for Events of Default.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically
become immediately due and payable. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture
relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any rights or
powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of
the Notes unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain
restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or
that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

 

15. Guarantees.

The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully, irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis, to the extent set forth
in the Indenture, by each of the Guarantors.

 

A-6

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits
from, perform services for, and otherwise deal with, the Company and its
Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

 

17. Authentication.

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such
as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN

(= Custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 

19. CUSIP Numbers.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on
the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any
notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers placed thereon.

Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of the Company (or its permitted successor), a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as
defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the
“Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an
indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 16, 2011 providing for the
issuance of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on
the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to
execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the
equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
