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

precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note and the related Note Guarantee, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes
and the Note Guarantees. 
  
 SECTION 115.    Counterparts. 
  
 This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be original; but such counterparts shall together

appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be
required to comply with the

any other manner, all as determined by the officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
  
 (b)    Global Notes.    Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 or Exhibit A2 attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and
the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the
“Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any
endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as
required by Section 311 hereof. 
  
 (c)    Temporary Global
Notes.    Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented
thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the
Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Following the termination of the Restricted Period, upon the receipt by the Trustee of a written certificate from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received
certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount at Maturity of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any Beneficial Owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during
the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who shall take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section
311(b)(2) hereof, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in Regulation S Permanent Global Notes pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of
Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes may from time to time be
increased or decreased 

 
 41 








 by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of
interest as hereinafter provided.

 ARTICLE THREE 
  
 THE NOTES 
  
 SECTION
301.    Amount. 
  
 The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. 
  
 The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be December 1, 2012, and the
Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 101⁄2% per annum from November 26, 2002 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable on June 1, 2003 and semiannually thereafter on June 1 and
December 1 in each year, until the principal thereof is paid in full and to the Person in whose name the Note (or any Predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest shall be computed on the Notes as specified in Section 310 hereof. 

 
 42 








  
 The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the City of Montgomery, State of Alabama or the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for
such purpose; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid (a) by check mailed to the addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Note Register or (b) by wire transfer
to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee. 
  
 Holders shall have the right to require the
Company to purchase their Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 1013. The Notes shall be subject to repurchase pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer as provided in Section 1014. 
  
 The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven and in the Notes. 
  
 The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness as provided in Article Twelve. The due and punctual payment of
principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes payable by the Company is irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, to the extent set forth herein, by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Note Guarantee issued by any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be subordinated to all existing and future Subsidiary Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor as provided in Article Twelve. 
  
 SECTION 302.    Denominations. 
  
 The
Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 SECTION 303.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
  
 The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Operating Officer, its Chief Financial Officer or a Vice President. The signature
of any of these officers on the Notes may be the 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 the time of execution 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. 

 
 43 








  
 On the Issuance Date, the Company shall deliver the Initial Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes and certifying
that all conditions precedent to the issuance of Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, 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 Issuance 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, directing the Trustee to authenticate
the Additional Notes and certifying that the issuance of such Additional Notes is in compliance with Article Ten hereof and that all other conditions precedent to the issuance of Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, and the Trustee
in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes. On a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for original issue Exchange Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200.0 million 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 Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement 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 have been complied with (including the effectiveness of the Registration Statement related thereto). In each case, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably request in connection with such authentication of Notes. Such 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 signatory, 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 Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to Article Eight, 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 Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the Notes authenticated or 

 
 44 








 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 a 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 303 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. 
  
 SECTION
304.    Temporary Notes. 
  
 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery,
the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
  
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 305.    Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register for the Notes (the register maintained in the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively 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 Trustee in such capacity, together with any successor of the Trustee in such capacity, 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 in a Place of Payment, 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 and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 

 
 45 








  
 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 (including an exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes),
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 Initial Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until a Registration
Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate confirming that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission 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 a written instrument 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 tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 303, 304, 906, 1013, 1014 or 1108
not involving any transfer. 
  
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the selection of Notes to be redeemed under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning 15 days
before an Interest Payment Date or (iv) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note that has been tendered in a Change of Control or an Excess Proceeds Offer. 
  
 SECTION 306.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. 
  
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor
and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, or, in case any such mutilated 

 
 46 








 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.

  
 If there shall be delivered to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, or, in case any such 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) in connection 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, any Subsidiary Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all
the 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 307.    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
  
 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 Place of Payment; provided, however, that each installment of interest on any
Note may at the Company’s option be paid (i) by mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register or
(ii) by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee. 

 
 47 








  
 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 relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and, if applicable, interest on such defaulted
interest (to the extent lawful) at the rate specified in the Notes (such defaulted interest and, if applicable, 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 (the “Special Record Date”), 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 on or 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 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 in Section 106, 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 name the Registered
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 on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which such 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. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and
Section 305, 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.


 
 48 








  
 SECTION 308.    Persons Deemed Owners. 

 
 Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, any Subsidiary 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, on) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on
such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to
the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effective to satisfy and discharge the liability for such sums. 
  
 SECTION 309.    Cancellation. 
  
 All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Notes so
delivered to the Trustee 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 a Company Order the Company shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it. 
  
 SECTION 310.    Computation of Interest. 
  
 Interest on the
Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 SECTION
311.    Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 (a)    Transfer and Exchange of
Global Notes.    A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the
Depositary or any 

 
 49 








 such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be exchanged by the Company for
Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for
Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes prior to (x) the expiration of the
Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Note Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903; or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any
of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 304 and
306 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 311 or Section 304 or 306 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 311(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 311(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

  
 (b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global
Notes.    The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests
in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with
either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 
  
 (1)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.    Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who
take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the
Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any
Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Note Registrar to effect
the transfers described in this Section 311(b)(1); provided that the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver notice of such transfer to the Note Registrar. 

 
 50 








  
 (2)    All Other Transfers and Exchanges
of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.    In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 311(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to
the Note Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in
another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with
such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the
beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Note Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or
exchange referred to in (1) above; provided that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (x) the expiration of the Restricted Period
and (y) the receipt by the Note Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903. Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 311(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section 311(b)(2) shall be deemed
to have been satisfied upon receipt by the Note Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon written certification to the Trustee from
the Company (based upon evidence received by the Company and reasonably acceptable to it) certifying satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes
or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount at Maturity of the relevant Global Notes pursuant to Section 311(i) hereof. 
  
 (3)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.    A beneficial interest in any
Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 311(b)(2) above and the Note Registrar
receives the following: 
  
 (A)    if the transferee shall take delivery in the
form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and 
  
 (B)    if the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note or the
Regulation S Permanent Global 

 
 51 








 Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in
item (2) thereof. 
  
 (4)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a
Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in the Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a
Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 311(b)(2) above and: 
  

(A)    such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Holder of the beneficial interest to be transferred, in the case of an exchange, or the transferee, in the case of a transfer, certifies in the applicable Letter of Transmittal that it is not (1) a Broker-Dealer, (2) a Person participating
in the distribution of the Exchange Notes or (3) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company; 
  
 (B)    such transfer is effected pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement; 
  
 (C)    such transfer is effected by a Broker-Dealer pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement; or 
  
 (D)    the Note Registrar receives the
following: 
  
 (i)    if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted

 SECTION 502.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section
501) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the
Holders), may, and the Trustee, upon the written request of such Holders, shall declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all of the Outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration all such
amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall become immediately due and payable; provided that for so long as the Senior Credit Agreement is in effect, such declaration shall not become effective until the earlier of (1) the declaration of
an acceleration of Senior Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement and (2) five Business Days after receipt of such declaration by the Company and the Agent Bank. If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 501 occurs and
is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all of the Outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. 
  
 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 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, if any, on)
any Outstanding Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration together with interest on such unpaid principal at the rate borne by such Notes, 
  
 (C)    to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by
such 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 

 
 68 








  
 (2)    all Events of Default, other than the
non-payment of amounts of principal (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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

 
 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, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, 
  
 then the Company shall, 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 such 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 or any Subsidiary Guarantor (in accordance with the applicable Note Guarantee) or any other obligor upon such 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 Subsidiary Guarantor or any other obligor upon such 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 or the Note Guarantees by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, including seeking recourse against any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether for 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, without limitation, seeking recourse against any Subsidiary Guarantor. 

 
 69 








  
 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, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company, of such Subsidiary Guarantor or of 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, 
  
 (i)    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, to take such other actions (including
participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter) 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 
  
 (ii)    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 other 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 to the 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; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or other similar official. 
  
 SECTION 505.    Trustee May Enforce
Claims Without Possession of Notes. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Notes or the
Note Guarantees 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
 

 
 70 








 
Trustee shall be brought in its own name 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 of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 SECTION 506.    Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Subject to Article Twelve, any money 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, on) 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 Person or Persons entitled thereto, including the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, as their interests may appear or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; 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 Note 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 written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (2)    the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall
have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  
 (3)    such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;


 
 71 








  
 (4)    the Trustee for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
  
 (5)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes; 

 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture, any Note or any Note Guarantee 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 of such Holders or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, any Note or any Note Guarantee, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all 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, on) and (subject to Section 307) 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, 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 any Note Guarantee 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 other obligor on the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes 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 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
 

 
 72 








 
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 aggregate 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 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, 
  
 (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 that the Trustee determines in good faith is unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Notes not consenting, it being understood that, subject to Section 601, the Trustee shall have no duty to
ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unjustly prejudicial to such Holders. 
  
 SECTION
513.    Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 Subject to Sections 508, 902 and the last paragraph
of Section 502, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee, except a default: 
  
 (1)    in respect of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on any Note, or 

 
 73 








  
 (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, any 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 and the Note Guarantees; 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 Subsidiary 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 would prohibit or forgive the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any such obligor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes contemplated herein or in the Notes or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company, the Subsidiary 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. 
  
 ARTICLE SIX

 SECTION 601.    Certain Duties
and Responsibilities. 
  
 (a)    Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, 
  
 (1)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are 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, the
 

 
 74 








 
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)    In case 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 grossly
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 by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (3)    the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available 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 any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds 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 ten days after the earlier
of receipt from the Company of notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or the date when such Default or Event of
 

 
 75 








 
Default becomes known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default or Event of Default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, 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 be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Board of Directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
  
 SECTION 603.    Certain
Rights of Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of TIA Sections 315(a) through 315(d) (determined as if the TIA
were applicable to this Indenture at all times): 
  
 (1)    the Trustee may rely
and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  
 (2)    any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
Board Resolution; 
  
 (3)    whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
request and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
  
 (4)    before the
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (5)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Notes pursuant to this Indenture, unless
such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

 
 76 








  
 (6)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make
any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder; 
  
 (10)    the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty; and 
  
 (11)    except for a default under Sections 501(1) or (2) hereof, or any other event of which the Trustee has “actual
knowledge” and which event, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless
specifically notified in writing of such event by the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; as used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement
of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto. 
  
 The Trustee shall not be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 SECTION
604.    Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. 
  
 The recitals
contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any
 

 
 77 








 
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the
Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in its Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company
are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof. 
  
 SECTION 605.    May Hold Notes. 
  
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other
agent. 
  
 SECTION 606.    Money Held in Trust. 
  
 All money received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust hereunder for the purposes for which
they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
  
 SECTION 607.    Compensation and
Reimbursement. 
  
 The Company agrees: 
  
 (1)    to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for
all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  
 (2)    except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and costs and expenses of collection),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 

 
 78 








  
 (3)    to indemnify each of the Trustee or
any predecessor Trustee and its agents for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against, or investigating, any claim or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
  
 The obligations of the Company under

 (b)    The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Notes by giving written notice thereof to the Company.
Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the

or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
  
 (3)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a Custodian of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or

Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor
Trustee with respect to the Notes shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona 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 with respect to the Notes.

retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the 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.

 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 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 that the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, 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 106. 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 $50.0 million 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. 

 
 82 








  
 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 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 106. 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: 
  
 This is one of the Notes designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds (or New York Clearing House funds if such deposit is made prior to the date on which such deposit is required to be made) 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 its action or
failure so to act. 
  
 The Company shall 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: 
  
 (1)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the 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 of (and premium, if any) or interest on
the Notes; 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 a 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 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. 

 
 92 








  
 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 (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company
on a 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 or any Subsidiary Guarantor 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, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment to the Company, may 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 notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 
  
 SECTION 1004.    Corporate Existence.

  
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect its corporate existence and that of each Restricted Subsidiary and the corporate rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that,
subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall not be required to preserve any such existence (except the Company), right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors 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 and that the loss thereof is not, and shall not be, disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  
 SECTION 1005.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
  
 The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges
levied or imposed upon the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, would by law become a
material liability or lien upon the property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, 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. 

 
 93 








  
 The Company shall cause all material properties owned by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (subject to ordinary wear and tear) and supplied with all
necessary equipment and shall 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, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such
discontinuance is in the ordinary course of business or, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary and not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 

 
 SECTION 1007.    Statement by Officers as to Default. 
  
 (a)    The Company shall 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 each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors during the preceding fiscal year, has been made under the supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether it has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled, and the Company 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, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors during such preceding fiscal year has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of its 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 year, 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 1007(a), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this
Indenture. 
  
 (b)    When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under
this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by telegram, telex or facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event, notice or other action within five Business Days of its
occurrence. 
  
 SECTION 1008.    Limitation on Indebtedness. 

 
 94 








  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, create, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable for the payment of, or otherwise incur (collectively, “incur”), any Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness), other than
Permitted Indebtedness; provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if at the time of
such incurrence the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding the incurrence of such Indebtedness for which consolidated financial statements are available, taken as one period,
would have been at least equal to 2.5:1, after giving pro forma effect to: 
  
 (a)    the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, as if such Indebtedness was incurred, and the application of
such proceeds occurred, on the first day of such four-quarter period; 
  
 (b)    the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid
or retired on the first day of such four-quarter period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such
four-quarter period); and 
  
 (c)    the acquisition (whether by purchase, merger
or otherwise) or disposition (whether by sale, merger or otherwise) of any company, entity or business acquired or disposed of by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, since the first day of such four-quarter period, as if
such acquisition or disposition occurred on the first day of such four-quarter period; provided that to the extent that pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition or disposition pursuant to this clause (c), such pro forma
calculation shall be determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. 
  
 For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1008, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (14) of the definition of
“Permitted Indebtedness” or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 1008, the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this
Section as of the date of incurrence or reclassification, as applicable. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness
for purposes of this Section. 
  
 SECTION 1009.    Limitation on Restricted Payments.


 
 95 








  
 (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions (each, a “Restricted Payment”): 
  
 (1)    declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution to direct or indirect holders of, Equity Interests of the Company, including, without limitation, any payment in
connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which is not a wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than dividends or distributions payable solely in Qualified Equity Interests); 

 
 (2)    purchase, call for redemption or redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value,
directly or indirectly, any Equity Interests of the Company including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company (other than any Equity Interests owned by the Company or any wholly owned Restricted
Subsidiary); 
  
 (3)    declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution
to holders of, Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than (A) Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary or (B) dividends or distributions to the Company or any of its wholly owned Restricted Subsidiaries or to all holders of
Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis); 
  
 (4)    make any principal payment on, or repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled principal payment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted under clause (4) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”); or 
  
 (5)    make any Investment (other than any Permitted Investment) in any Person; 
  
 unless (i) at the time of and after giving effect to such proposed Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) at the time of and after giving effect to
such proposed Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 1008 and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments
declared or made after the Issuance Date shall not exceed the sum of: 
  
 (A)    (x) If Consolidated Adjusted Net Income and Excess Cash Flow shall both be positive, 50% of the lesser of Consolidated Adjusted Net Income and Excess Cash Flow, (y) if Consolidated Adjusted Net Income shall
be a loss and Excess Cash Flow shall be negative, less 100% of the greater in absolute numerical terms of such loss and such negative Excess Cash Flow and (z) if either, but not both, Consolidated Adjusted Net Income shall be a loss or Excess Cash
Flow shall be negative, less 100% of such loss or such negative Excess Cash 

 
 96 








 Flow, as the case may be, in each case accrued on a cumulative basis during the period beginning on August 31, 2002 and
ending on the last day of the Company’s last fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such proposed Restricted Payment; plus 
  
 (B)    100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash, received after the Issuance Date by the Company as a contribution to its
common equity capital or from the issuance or sale (other than to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) of Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (including upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights) or warrants, options or rights to
purchase Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (excluding any net cash proceeds from an Equity Offering to the extent used to redeem Notes); plus 
  
 (C)    100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash, received after the Issuance Date
by the Company from the issuance or sale (other than to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) of debt securities (or other Indebtedness) or Redeemable Equity Interests that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Equity Interests of the
Company; plus 
  
 (D)    to the extent that any Investment constituting a
Restricted Payment that was made after the Issuance Date is sold or is otherwise liquidated or repaid, an amount (to the extent not included in Consolidated Adjusted Net Income) equal to the lesser of (x) the cash proceeds with respect to such
Investment (less the cost of disposition of such Investment and net of taxes) and (y) the initial amount of such Investment plus, to the extent not included in Consolidated Adjusted Net Income, 50% of any amounts received in excess of the
return of capital (less the cost of disposition of such Investment and net of taxes); plus 
  
 (E)    an amount equal to the sum of (x) the net reduction in Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries resulting from cash dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets, in each case to
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, plus (y) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at
the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case since the Issuance Date; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of
Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any such Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided further, however, that no amount shall be included under this clause (E) to the extent
it is already included in the Consolidated Adjusted Net Income of the Company in clause (A) above. 
  
 (b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may take the following actions so long as (with respect to clauses (6) and (8) below) at 

 
 97 








 the time of and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
  
 (1)    the payment of any dividend or redemption of any Equity Interest within 60 days after the date
of declaration or call for redemption thereof, if at such date of declaration or call for redemption, such payment or redemption would have complied with the provisions of paragraph (a) above; 
  

(2)    the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for, or
out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Qualified Equity Interests of the Company; 
  
 (3)    the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness in exchange
for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Qualified Equity Interests of the Company; 
  
 (4)    the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of the Company’s outstanding 5% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2003; 
  
 (5)    the purchase, redemption, defeasance or
other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness (other than Redeemable Equity Interests) in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent incurrence (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company)
of, new Subordinated Indebtedness so long as (x) the principal amount of such new Subordinated Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being so purchased, redeemed, defeased, acquired or retired, plus the amount
of any premium reasonably determined as necessary to accomplish such refinancing, plus, the amount of reasonable expenses of the Company incurred in connection with such refinancing, (y) such new Subordinated Indebtedness is pari passu
or subordinated, as applicable, to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, redeemed, defeased, acquired or retired and (z) such new Subordinated Indebtedness has an average life longer than the
Average Life of the Notes and a final Stated Maturity of principal later than the final Stated Maturity of principal of the Notes; 
  
 (6)    payments or distributions to stockholders pursuant to appraisal rights required under applicable law in connection with any consolidation, merger or transfer of assets that
complies with the provisions of Article Eight; 
  
 (7)    Investments acquired as
a result of the capital contribution or in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent offering of, Qualified Equity Interests of

employees, directors or former directors of the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries or their authorized representatives upon the death, disability or termination of employment of such employees, former employees, directors
or former directors or (b) repurchases of Equity Interests of the Company deemed to occur upon (x) the exercise of stock options if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof and (y) the withholding of a portion of
Equity Interests of the Company granted or awarded to an employee to pay taxes associated therewith; provided, however, that the aggregate amount paid for all repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Qualified Equity Interests does not
exceed $4.0 million during any twelve-month period; and 
  
 (9)    Restricted
Payments in addition to those permitted by clauses (1)-(8) above in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million. 
  
 The actions
described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (6), (7) and (8) of this paragraph (b) shall be Restricted Payments that shall be permitted to be taken in accordance with this paragraph (b) but shall reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for
Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of paragraph (a) above and the actions described in clauses (4), (5) and (9) of this paragraph (b) shall be Restricted Payments that shall be permitted to be taken in accordance with this paragraph (b), but
shall not reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of paragraph (a) above. 
  
 The amount of all non-cash Restricted Payments shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors whose determination with respect thereto shall be conclusive.
If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Payment which at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment would in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the provisions of this Indenture, such Restricted
Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Company’s financial statements affecting the Consolidated Adjusted Net Income of the Company for
any period. 
  
 SECTION 1010.    Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests by
Restricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 The Company shall not permit (a) any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Equity
Interests (other than to the Company or a wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary) and (b) any Person (other than the Company or a wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary) to own any Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,
that this Section 1010 shall not prohibit: 

 
 99 








  
 (1)    the issuance, sale, transfer, lease,
conveyance, or other disposition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the other provisions of this

 (6)    any issuance, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
of Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Person would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect thereto would have been

related transactions with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) (collectively, “Interested Persons”), unless: 
  
 (a)    such transaction or series of transactions are on terms that are no less favorable to the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would have been able to be obtained at the time for a comparable transaction in arm’s-length dealings with 

 
 100 








 third-parties that are not Interested Persons; 
  
 (b)    with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate value equal to or greater than $5.0

exchange for payments in cash or

could reasonably be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary; 
  
 (7)    any issuance or sale of Qualified Equity Interests of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;
or

Restricted Subsidiary has an interest, so long as the other parties to the joint venture that are not Affiliates of the Company own at least 50% of the Equity Interests of such joint venture, transactions between such joint venture and the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary.

suffer to exist any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness on or with respect to any of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s property or assets, including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the Issuance Date or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income thereon, other than Permitted Liens, unless:

  
 (1)    in the case of any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Notes or
the Note Guarantees, as the case may be, are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to or pari passu with such Lien; and 
  
 (2)    in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, as the case may be, are secured by

 (a)    If a
Change in Control shall occur at any time, then each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, at a purchase price (the “Change in

and not withdrawn under such Change in Control Offer. 
  
 (e)    The Company shall comply with
the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and resolutions in connection with a Change in Control Offer. 
  
 SECTION 1014.    Limitation on Sale of Assets. 
  
 (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Sale unless: 
  
 (1)    the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such Asset Sale is not less than the Fair
Market Value of the assets sold or disposed of; and 
  
 (2)    at least 75% of
such consideration consists of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Replacement Assets. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 1014, the following shall
be deemed to be cash: (A) Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and from which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are fully released and
(B) notes, securities or other similar obligations received by the Company or any 

 
 104 








 Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted, sold or exchanged within 180 days of the related Asset Sale by the Company or the
Restricted Subsidiaries into cash in an amount equal to the cash proceeds realized upon such conversion, sale or exchange. 
  
 (b)    If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries may use the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, within 12 months after such Asset Sale, to:

  
 (1)    permanently repay or prepay any then outstanding Senior Indebtedness
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and if such Senior Indebtedness is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); or 
  
 (2)    invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) in Replacement Assets. 
  
 Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce Senior Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in
any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, then the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is
later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (1) or (2) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (2) above). The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph (b) constitutes
“Excess Proceeds.” 
  
 (c)    When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$15.0 million, the Company shall, within 30 Business Days, make an offer to purchase (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”) from all Holders of Notes, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, the
maximum principal amount (expressed as an integral multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds. The offer price (the “Offered Price”) as to each Note shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of
the principal amount of such Note plus accrued interest, if any, to the date such Excess Proceeds offer is consummated (“Offer Date”). To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer
is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use the deficiency for general corporate purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds
the Excess Proceeds, the Company shall purchase Notes on a pro rata basis. 
  
 (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company becomes obligated to commence an Excess Proceeds Offer at any time when the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness provide that a similar offer must be made with
respect to such Pari Passu Indebtedness, then the Excess Proceeds Offer for the Notes shall be made concurrently with such other offer and the Company shall purchase Notes and such other securities on a pro rata basis in proportion to the


 
 105 








 aggregate principal amount of securities of each issue which the Holders thereof elect to have purchased. Upon completion of such Excess
Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero (regardless of the amount of Notes actually purchased in the offer). 
  
 (e)    If the Company becomes obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to clause (c) above, the Notes shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holders thereof, in whole or in
part in integral multiples of $1,000, on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice is given to Holders, or such later date as may be necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under
the Exchange Act, subject to proration in the event the amount of Excess Proceeds is less than the aggregate Offered Price of all Notes tendered. 
  
 (f)    Within 15 days after the obligation of the Company to make an Excess Proceeds Offer arises, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice of such
Excess Proceeds Offer to each Holder of Notes by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register, stating: 
  
 (1)    the Offered Price and the Offer Date, which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days necessary to comply with requirements
under the Exchange Act or any applicable securities nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or such later date as is laws or regulations; 
  
 (2)    that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 
  
 (3)    that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Offered Price, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess
Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the date of purchase; 
  
 (4)    that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the
reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Offer Date; 
  
 (5)    that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on
the second Business Day preceding the Offer Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its
election to have such Notes purchased; 
  
 (6)    that Holders whose Notes are
being purchased only in part shall be issued 

 
 106 








 new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must
be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof; 
  
 (7)    the instructions that the Holders of Notes must follow in order to tender their Notes; and 
  
 (8)    the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Excess Proceeds Offer. 
  
 (g)    The Company shall comply with any applicable securities laws, including Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act, and any other applicable Federal or state
securities laws and regulations and any applicable requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes are listed. 
  
 SECTION 1015.    Limitations on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 (a)    The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable with respect to, any Indebtedness of the Company other than
Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” unless: 
  
 (1)    such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a guarantee of the Notes on the same terms as the guarantee of such Indebtedness,
except that if such Indebtedness is unsubordinated such Restricted Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness may be subordinated to that Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee of such Indebtedness to the same extent as the
Notes are subordinated to such Indebtedness and if such Indebtedness is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Notes, any such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be
subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee at least to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company under this Indenture; and 
  
 (2)    such Restricted Subsidiary waives, and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights
of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company or any of its other Subsidiaries as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee. 
  
 (b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Note Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary 

 
 107 








 shall provide by its terms that it (and all Liens securing the same) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged:

  
 (1)    upon any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of
the Company of all Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all of the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (including by way of merger or consolidation) if the transaction complies with the
terms of this Indenture; 
  
 (2)    upon the designation of such Restricted
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
  
 (3)    upon the legal defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article Fourteen; 
  
 (4)    in connection with the merger or dissolution of a Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor; or 
  
 (5)    upon the release by the holders of Indebtedness of the Company described in paragraph (a) above of their guarantee by such
Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness other than as a result of payment under such guarantee), at such time as (A) no other Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated
Indebtedness of the Company has been secured or guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, or (B) the holders of all such other Pari Passu Indebtedness and Subordinated Indebtedness which is guaranteed by such Restricted
Subsidiary also release their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness other than as a result of payment under such guarantee). 
  
 SECTION 1016.    Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or
otherwise cause to suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
  
 (a)    pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on its Equity Interests; 
  
 (b)    pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; 

 
 (c)    make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or


 
 108 








  
 (d)    transfer any of its properties or
assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, 
  
 except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

  
 (1)    applicable law; 
  

(2)    customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease or assignment of any other contract to which the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or to which any of their respective properties or assets are subject; 
  
 (3)    any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, so long as the agreement containing such restriction does not violate
any other provision of this Indenture; 
  
 (4)    encumbrances and restrictions
in any agreement or instrument in effect on the Issuance Date, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement and its related documentation, the Notes, this Indenture and the Note Guarantees; 
  
 (5)    any encumbrance or restriction contained in contracts for sales of assets permitted by Section
1014 with respect to the assets to be sold pursuant to such contract; 
  
 (6)    in clause (4) above, restrictions contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted under this Indenture to the extent such restrictions restrict the
transfer of the property subject to such security agreements or mortgages; 
  
 (7)    purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in paragraph (d) above; 
  
 (8)    any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts

 (9)    Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under Section 1012 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 

 
 109 








  
 (10)    provisions with respect to the
disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
  
 (11)    any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness incurred by foreign Restricted Subsidiaries
pursuant to clause (12) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”; or 
  
 (12)    any encumbrance or restriction existing under any agreement or instrument that extends, renews, refinances or replaces the agreements or instrument containing the encumbrances or restrictions in the
foregoing clauses (3) and (4); provided that the terms and conditions of any such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those under or pursuant to the agreement or instrument so extended,
renewed, refinanced or replaced. 
  
 SECTION 1017.    Limitation on Other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness. 
  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit or cause any Subsidiary Guarantor, to, incur,
create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness, other than the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Company or such
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also pari passu with the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Note
Guarantee, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as the Notes or such Note Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness of the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as

 SECTION 1018.    Limitation on
Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 (a)    The Board of Directors of the Company may designate
after the Issuance Date any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if: 
  
 (1)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; 
  
 (2)    the Company would be permitted to make an Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) at the time of such Designation
(assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 1009 in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary; 

 
 (3)    such Unrestricted Subsidiary does not own any Equity Interests in any 

 
 110 








 Restricted Subsidiary which is not simultaneously being designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary; 
  
 (4)    no default with respect to any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than a Note
Guarantee, if any) would permit (upon notice, lapse or otherwise) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment to be accelerated or payable
prior to its Stated Maturity; and 
  
 (5)    such Unrestricted Subsidiary is not
a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding at such time with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or, in the event such condition is not satisfied, the value of such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding to such
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed a Restricted Payment. 
  
 In the event of any such Designation, the Company
shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 1009 for all purposes of this Indenture in the Designation Amount.

Subsidiary’s financial condition or to cause such Unrestricted Subsidiary to achieve certain levels of operating results; or 
  
 (iii)    be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
  
 For purposes of the foregoing, the Designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the Designation of all of the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 (b)    The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary if: 

 
 111 








  
 (1)    no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such designation; and 
  
 (2)    all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such designation would, if incurred at the time of such designation, have been permitted to be incurred for all
purposes of this Indenture. 
  
 (c)    Any such designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or
Restricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with clause (a) or (b) above, as the case may be. 
  

SECTION 1019.    Reports.

registered under the Exchange Act, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Company would be required to file pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were subject to the Exchange Act. The Company
shall also (1) furnish the Trustee copies of such reports and documents within 15 days after the date on which the Company files such reports and documents with the Commission or the date on which the Company would be required to file such reports
and documents if the Company were so required, and (2) if filing such reports and documents with the Commission is not accepted by the Commission or is prohibited under the Exchange Act, furnish the Trustee, and mail to each Holder and prospective
holder of Notes, without cost to such Holder, copies of such reports and documents within 15 days after the date on which the Company would have otherwise been required to file such reports and documents. 
  
 SECTION 1020.    Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
  
 The Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1007 to 1012,
inclusive, and Sections 1014 to 1019, inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Notes affected by such term, provision or covenant, by Act of such
Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become
effective, the obligations of the Company, the Restricted Subsidiaries and the duties of the Trustee, as applicable, in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Notes; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $1,000; provided further

 For all purposes of this

 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 106 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the

aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption, 
  
 (4)    in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the
Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 
  
 (5)    that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1107) shall become due and payable upon
each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption (or the portion thereof) will cease to accrue on and after said date,


 
 114 








  
 (6)    the place or places where such Notes
are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, 
  
 (7)    the name and address of the Paying Agent, 
  
 (8)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price,

such notice or printed on the Notes, and 
  
 (10)    the paragraph of the Notes
pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed. 
  
 SECTION 1106.    Deposit of Redemption
Price. 
  
 Prior to 10:00 A.M. on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be
redeemed on that date. 
  
 SECTION 1107.    Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date,
become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be, according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
  
 If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate
of interest set forth in the Note. 
  
 SECTION 1108.    Notes Redeemed in Part.


 
 115 








  
 Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this

thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination
as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or
integral multiple thereof.

 SECTION
1201.    Agreement to Subordinate.

 116 








  
 (1)    the holders of Senior Indebtedness or
their duly appointed representative(s) shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character or any payment by the
Company to acquire any Notes (other than any payment or distribution in the form of equity securities or subordinated debt securities of the Company or any successor obligor that, in the case of any such subordinated debt securities, are
subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding to at least the same extent as the Notes are so subordinated (such equity securities or subordinated debt securities hereinafter being “Permitted
Junior Securities”) and any payment made pursuant to the provisions described in Article Fourteen from monies or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or
any other amounts due on the Notes under this Indenture); and 
  
 (2)    any

duly appointed representative(s) ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 SECTION
1203.    Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 (a)    No
payment or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities and payments made pursuant to the provisions described in Article Fourteen from monies or
U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee), may be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of
Notes upon the occurrence of any default in payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon scheduled installment, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Designated Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace
period (a “Payment Default”) until such Payment Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash. 

 
 117 








  
 (b)    No direct or indirect payment or distribution of any
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities and payments made pursuant to the provisions described in Article Fourteen from monies or U.S. Government Obligations
previously deposited with the Trustee), may be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition of Notes for the
period specified below (a “Payment Blockage Period”) upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than any Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be
accelerated immediately (a “Non-Payment Default”) and receipt by the Trustee of written notice thereof from the trustee or other representative of holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or their duly appointed representative(s).

  
 The Payment Blockage Period will commence upon the date of receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the
trustee or such other representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness or their duly appointed representative(s) in respect of which the Non-Payment Default exists and shall end on the earliest of: 
  
 (i)    179 days thereafter (provided that any Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which notice
was given shall not theretofore have been accelerated); 
  
 (ii)    the date on
which such Non-Payment Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist; 
  
 (iii)    the date on which such Designated Senior Indebtedness is discharged or paid in full in cash; or 
  
 (iv)    the date on which such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Trustee or the Company from such holder or their duly appointed
representative(s) initiating such Payment Blockage Period, 
  
 after which the Company will resume making any and all required payments in
respect of the Notes, including any missed payments, unless the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness or their representatives have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness. In any event, not more than one Payment
Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 360 consecutive days. No Event of Default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period will be, or can be made, the basis for the commencement of
a subsequent Payment Blockage Period, unless such Default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days subsequent to the commencement of such initial Payment Blockage Period. 
  
 SECTION 1204.    Acceleration of Securities. 

 
 118 








  
 If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the
Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration. 
  
 SECTION
1205.    When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 
  
 In the event that, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 1203, any payment shall be made to the Trustee (and not paid over to the Holders of the Notes) which is prohibited by such provisions, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered by the Trustee to the
holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or their duly appointed representative(s), as their interest may appear, for application to Designated Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this
Article Twelve, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article Twelve, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 1206.    Notice by the Company. 
  
 The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article Twelve, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the
subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article Twelve. 
  
 SECTION
1207.    Subrogation. 
  
 After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash and until
the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior
Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article Twelve to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would
have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company of the Notes. 

 
 119 








  
 SECTION 1208.    Relative Rights. 

 
 This Article Twelve defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this
Indenture shall: (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (ii) affect the relative
rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of
Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes. If the Company fails because of this Article Twelve to pay principal of or interest on a Note on
the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default. 
  
 SECTION
1209.    Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company. 
  
 No right of any holder of
Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture.

  
 The Trustee and Holders agree that they will not challenge the validity, enforceability or perfection of any
Senior Indebtedness or the liens, guarantees and security interests securing the same and that as between the holders of the Senior Indebtedness on the one hand and the Trustee and Holders on the other, the terms hereof shall govern even if all or
part of the Senior Indebtedness or such liens and security interests are voided, disallowed, subordinated, set aside or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, regardless of the theory upon which such action is premised.

  
 Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 1209, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any
time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article Twelve or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, the Senior
Credit Agreement or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release, foreclose against or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, and Subsidiary thereof or any other Person.


 
 120 








  
 SECTION 1210.    Distribution or Notice to
Representative. 
  
 Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of any Senior
Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their representative. 
  
 Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Twelve, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such
representative(s) or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, all holders of the
Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Twelve. 
  
 SECTION 1211.    Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Twelve or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any
facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate
Trust Office at least three Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article Twelve. Only the Company or representative may give
the notice. Nothing in this Article Twelve shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607. 
  
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 
  
 SECTION 1212.    Authorization to Effect Subordination. 
  

Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Twelve, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise), the filing of a claim for the
unpaid balance of its Notes in the form required in those proceedings. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 504 at least 30 days before the expiration of
the time to file 

 
 121 








 such claim, duly appointed representatives of the Holders are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of
the Notes. 
  
 SECTION 1213.    Amendments. 
  
 The provisions of this Article Twelve (including, without limitation, any definitions or other sections included by reference or
incorporation) shall not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
  
 GUARANTEES 
  
 SECTION 1301.    Note Guarantees. 
  
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, 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 on behalf of such Holder, that: (a) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise (including, without limitation, 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 (b) in case of any extension
of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will 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 (a) and (b) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 1305 hereof. 
  
 Each Subsidiary 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 of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary 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
Subsidiary 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 

 
 122 








 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 Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Note Guarantee. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor acknowledges that the Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each of the Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, 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 Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by any of
them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between each
Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) subject to this Article Thirteen, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes
of the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
  
 Each Note 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 or 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 

 
 123 








 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. 
  
 SECTION 1302.    Severability. 
  
 In case
any provision of any Note 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. 
  
 SECTION 1303.    Restricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or forms a Restricted Subsidiary that will guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Senior Credit
Agreement, the Company shall cause any such Restricted Subsidiary (and any other Restricted Subsidiary as required pursuant to Section 1015 or any other provision of this Indenture) to: 
  
 (i)    execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental 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 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 a senior unsecured subordinated basis, and 
  
 (ii)    deliver
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such supplemental indenture 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 supplemental indenture, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors and any such Restricted Subsidiary under their respective Note Guarantees shall become joint and several and each reference to the “Subsidiary
Guarantor” in this Indenture shall, subject to Section 1308, be deemed to refer to all Subsidiary Guarantors, including such Restricted Subsidiary. 
  
 SECTION 1304.    Subordination of Note Guarantees. 
  
 The Note Guarantee issued by any Subsidiary Guarantor will be unsecured senior subordinated obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness of such
Subsidiary Guarantor, if any. The Indebtedness evidenced by such Note Guarantee will be subordinated on the same basis to Subsidiary Guarantor 

 
 124 








 Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor as the Notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness under Article Twelve. 

 
 SECTION 1305.    Limitation of Subsidiary Guarantors’ Liability. 
  
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
guarantee by each such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Note 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 Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of
such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from
or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to this Section 1305, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under its Note Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  
 SECTION
1306.    Subrogation. 
  
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of
Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 1301; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary 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 1307.    Reinstatement. 
  
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor shall agree) that the Note Guarantee provided for in Section 1301 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 Subsidiary Guarantor. 
  
 SECTION 1308.    Release of a Subsidiary
Guarantor. 
  
 (a)    The Note Guarantee issued by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Indenture shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged: 
  
 (1)    upon any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the 

 
 125 








 Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of all of the Company’s Equity Interests in, or all or substantially all the
assets of, such Subsidiary Guarantor (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture); 
  
 (2)    upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; 
  
 (3)    at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a guarantor under the Senior Credit Agreement; 
  
 (4)    in connection with the merger or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company or
another Subsidiary Guarantor; or 
  
 (5)    so long as such Subsidiary Guarantor
is not otherwise required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 1015 or any other provision of this Indenture. 
  
 In the event of any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee pursuant to clause (3) above, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to have incurred Indebtedness at the time of such release in an amount equal to any
outstanding Indebtedness incurred by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 1008. 
  
 (b)    Concurrently with the discharge of the Notes under Section 401, the defeasance of the Notes under Section 1402 hereof, or the covenant defeasance of the Notes under Section 1403 hereof, the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be released from all their obligations under their Note Guarantees under this Article Thirteen. 
  
 SECTION 1309.    Benefits Acknowledged. 
  
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

  
 SECTION 1310.    TechRx Note Guarantee. 
  
 The parties hereto agree that in the event that the acquisition of all the additional shares of capital stock of TechRx is not consummated
in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 28, 2002 among the Company, NDC Acquisition Corp. and TechRx by May 31, 2003 (or such later date as the parties thereto may agree with the consent of the Required
Lenders of the Senior Credit Agreement (as defined therein)), the Note Guarantee hereunder by TechRx shall thereafter be limited on any date of determination to an aggregate of 63% (less any amount paid, or to be paid, by TechRx to satisfy its
obligations under the guaranty under the 

 
 126 








 Senior Credit Agreement) of the greatest of (a) the value of the net assets of TechRx on such date of determination, (b) EBITDA (as defined in
the Senior Credit Agreement) of TechRx on such date of determination, (c) the Fair Market Value of TechRx on such date of determination, and (d) the net worth of TechRx on such date of determination. As used herein “Fair Market Value”
means, with respect to any asset or property, the sale value that would be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction between an informed and willing seller under no compulsion to sell and an informed and willing buyer under no compulsion to buy.

  
 ARTICLE FOURTEEN 
  
 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
  
 SECTION
1401.    Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 The
Company may, at its option and at any time, effect defeasance of the Notes under Section 1402, or covenant defeasance of the Notes under Section 1403, in accordance with the terms of the Notes and in accordance with this Article. 

 
 SECTION 1402.    Defeasance and Discharge. 
  

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1401 of the option applicable to this Section 1402, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have
been discharged from their obligations with respect to the Outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, respectively, on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such
defeasance means that the Company and the Subsidiary 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 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of their other respective obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture insofar as the Notes and the
Note Guarantees 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: (A) the rights
of Holders of such Outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes when such
payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Company’s obligations in
connection therewith and (D) this Article Fourteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen the Company may exercise its option under this Section 1402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect to such
Notes. 

 
 127 








  
 SECTION 1403.    Covenant Defeasance. 

 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1401 of the option applicable to this Section 1403, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations under Sections 801, 802 and Sections 1008 through 1019 with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such 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 such Outstanding Notes, the Company 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 reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 501(3) or 501(4) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. 
  
 SECTION
1404.    Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 The following shall be the
conditions to application of either Section 1402 or Section 1403 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 Fourteen 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) an amount in cash, or (B) U.S.
Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal (including any premium) and
interest, if any, on such Notes, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case 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, on) and interest on such Outstanding Notes on
the Stated Maturity of such principal (and premium, if any) or installment of interest; provided that the Trustee (or such qualifying trustee) shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government
Obligations to said payments with respect to such Notes. 

 
 128 








  
 (2)    No Default or Event of Default with
respect to such Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as clauses (8) and (9) of Section 501 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being
understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
  
 (3)    Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any material agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
is a party or by which it is bound. 
  
 (4)    In the case of an election under
Section 1402, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date hereof, there has been a
change in the applicable federal income tax law or interpretation of such federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had
not occurred. 
  
 (5)    In the case of an election under Section 1403, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to
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. 
  
 (6)    In the case of defeasance under Section 1402 or covenant defeasance under Section 1403, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) the trust funds will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness under Article Twelve hereof, and (B) after the 91st day following the deposit or after the date such opinion is
delivered, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
  
 (7)    The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes or any Note Guarantee over the other creditors of either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of either the Company or
any Subsidiary Guarantor. 

 
 129 








  
 (8)    The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1403, as the case may be, have
been complied with. 
  
 SECTION 1405.    Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held
in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003,
all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Sections 1404 and 1406 in
respect of such Outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law. Money and U.S. Government Obligations so held in trust are not subject to Article Twelve. 
  
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Notes. 
  
 Anything in this Article Fourteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds
therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article. 
  
 SECTION 1406.    Reinstatement. 
  
 If the
Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 1405 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and such Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1402 or 1403, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with Section 1405; provided, however, that if the 

 
 130 








 Company makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any such 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 held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 
  
 NDCHEALTH CORPORATION 
  
 101⁄2% Senior Subordinated
Note due 2012 
  
 1.    Principal and Interest; Subordination. 
  
 The Company will pay the principal of this Note on December 1, 2012. This Note shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed hereon. The aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of this
Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder hereof as required by Section 311 of
the Indenture. 
  
 The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment
Date, as set forth below, at the rate of 101⁄2% per annum [(subject to adjustment as provided below)]1
[except that interest accrued on this Note pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Section 1 for periods prior to the applicable Exchange Offer or effective date of the 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]2. 
  
 Interest will be payable semi-annually (to the Holders of record of the Notes (or
any Predecessor Notes)) at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing June 1, 2003. 
  
 [The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2002, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). In the event that either (a) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to the 120th calendar
day following the date of original issue of the Notes, (b) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 250th calendar day following the date of original issue of the Notes or (c) the Exchange Offer is
not consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement (as such terms are defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is not declared effective on or prior to the 280th calendar day following the date of original issue of the Notes, the interest rate
borne by this Note shall be increased by one-quarter of

	Include only for Initial Note. 
 


	2
	 
	Include only for Exchange Note. 
 


 
 A1-4 








 
one percent per annum following such 120-day period in the case of (a) above, following such 250-day period in the case of (b) above or following such 280-day period in the case of (c) above,
which rate will be increased by an additional one-quarter of one percent per annum for each 90-day period that any additional interest continues to accrue; provided that the aggregate increase in such annual interest rate shall in no event
exceed one percent. Upon (x) the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 120-day period described in clause (a) above, (y) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 250-day period described in
clause (b) above or (z) the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, after the 280-day period described in clause (c) above, the interest rate borne by this Note from the date of
such filing, effectiveness or consummation, as the case may be, will be reduced to the interest rate set forth above; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different event specified in clause (a), (b)
or (c) above occurs, the interest rate may again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions.]1 
  
 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 herefor]2; or, if no interest has been paid, from November 26, 2002; 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 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. 
  
 The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf
to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose. 
  
 2.    Method of Payment. 
  
 The Company
will pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the Notes on each June 1 and December 1 to the Persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at the close of business on the May 15 and November 15 immediately
preceding the Interest

	Include only for Exchange Note.

Payment Date), in each case, even if the Note is cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Regular Record Date. 
  
 The Company will pay principal (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 (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 United States maintained by the payee. If a payment date is a date other than a 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 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; Limitations. 
  
 The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 26, 2002 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Regions Bank, as
trustee (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 subordinated obligations of the Company. 
  
 The Company may, subject to Article Ten of the
Indenture and applicable law, issue Additional Notes under the Indenture. 
  
 5.    Redemption. 

 
 Optional Redemption.    The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time on or after December 1, 2007, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the
 

 
 A1-6 








 
Redemption Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning December 1 of each of the years set forth below: 
  
 
	 Year
 
	  	 Redemption Price
 

	 2007
 	  	 105.250%
 
	 2008
 	  	 103.500%
 
	 2009
 	  	 101.750%
 
	 2010 and thereafter
 	  	 100.000%
 

 
  
 At any time prior to December 1, 2007, the Notes may be redeemed at
the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of 105.250% of the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed and scheduled interest payments (excluding interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date) on such Notes to and including December 1, 2007 discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, together in either case with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date. 
  
 In addition to the optional redemption of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, at any time prior to December 1, 2005, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes), within 60 days of one or more Equity Offerings with the net proceeds of such offerings, at 110.500% of the principal amount thereof, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on relevant Regular Record Dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date); provided,
however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes) remains outstanding thereafter. 
  
 If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes being redeemed are listed, or if the Notes are not so listed, by such other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no
such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $1,000; provided further that any such redemption pursuant to the provisions relating to a Equity Offering shall be made on a
pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC or any other depositary). 
  
 Notice of a redemption will be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at such Holder’s last
address as it appears in the Note Register. Notes in original denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part in integral multiples of $1,000. On and after the Redemption Date, interest
 

 
 A1-7 








 
ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price. 
  

6.    Repurchase upon a Change in Control and Asset Sales. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of (a) a Change in Control, the Holders of the Notes will have the right to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s outstanding Notes, in whole or in part, at a
purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase and (b) Asset Sales, the Company may be obligated to make offers to purchase Notes with a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of
such Asset Sales at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. 
  
 7.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 
  
 The Notes are in registered
form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of 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 the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part). 
  
 8.    Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 A 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 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 Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 
  
 If the Company irrevocably deposits, or causes to be deposited, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of (premium, if any) and accrued interest on the Notes (a) to
redemption or maturity, the Company will be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes, except in certain circumstances for certain sections thereof, and (b) to the Stated Maturity, the Company will be discharged from certain covenants set forth in
the Indenture. 

 
 A1-8 








  
 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 Notes then outstanding, 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 Notes then outstanding.
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, 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, without limitation, covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) Indebtedness; (ii) Restricted Payments; (iii)
issuances and sales of Equity Interests of Restricted Subsidiaries; (iv) transactions with Affiliates; (v) Liens; (vi) purchase of Notes upon a Change in Control; (vii) disposition of proceeds of Asset Sales; (viii) guarantees of Indebtedness by
Restricted Subsidiaries; (ix) dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries; (x) merger and certain transfers of assets; and (xi) limitation on Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Within 120 days 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 (other than an Event
of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 501 of the Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding 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 Material Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become immediately due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
  
 15.    Note Guarantees. 

 
 A1-9 








  
 The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully, irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
  
 16.    Subordination. 
  
 The payment of the Notes will, to the extent set
forth in the Indenture, be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 17.    Trustee Dealings with Company. 
  
 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. 

 
 18.    Authentication. 
  
 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 
  
 19.    Abbreviations. 
  
 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 (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common),

 [REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 
  
 NDCHEALTH CORPORATION 
  
 101⁄2% Senior Subordinated
Note due 2012 
  
 1.    Principal and Interest; Subordination. 
  
 The Company will pay the principal of this Note on December 1, 2012. This Note shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed hereon. The aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of this
Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder hereof as required by Section 311 of
the Indenture. 
  
 The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment
Date, as set forth below, at the rate of 101⁄2% per annum [(subject to adjustment as provided below)]1
[except that interest accrued on this Note pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Section 1 for periods prior to the applicable Exchange Offer or effective date of the 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]2. 
  
 Interest will be payable semi-annually (to the Holders of record of the Notes (or
any Predecessor Notes)) at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing June 1, 2003. 
  
 [The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2002, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). In the event that either (a) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to the 120th calendar
day following the date of original issue of the Notes, (b) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 250th calendar day following the date of original issue of the Notes or (c) the Exchange Offer is
not consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement (as such terms are defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is not declared effective on or prior to the 280th calendar day following the date of

original issue of the Notes, the interest rate borne by this Note shall be increased by one-quarter of one percent per annum following such 120-day period in the case of (a) above, following such
250-day period in the case of (b) above or following such 280-day period in the case of (c) above, which rate will be increased by an additional one-quarter of one percent per annum for each 90-day period that any additional interest continues to
accrue; provided that the aggregate increase in such annual interest rate shall in no event exceed one percent. Upon (x) the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 120-day period described in clause (a) above, (y) the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 250-day period described in clause (b) above or (z) the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, after the
280-day period described in clause (c) above, the interest rate borne by this Note from the date of such filing, effectiveness or consummation, as the case may be, will be reduced to the interest rate set forth above; provided, however,
that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different event specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above occurs, the interest rate may again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions.]1 
  
 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 herefor]2; or, if no interest has been paid, from November 26, 2002; 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 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. 
  
 The indebtedness evidenced by
the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each Holder of
this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the
Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose. 
  
 2.    Method of Payment.

  
 The Company will pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the Notes on each June 1 and
December 1 to the Persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at the close of business on the May 15 and November 15 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. 
  
 The Company will pay principal (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 (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 United States maintained by the payee. If a payment date is a date other than a 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 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; Limitations. 
  
 The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 26, 2002 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Regions Bank, as
trustee (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 subordinated obligations of the Company. 
  
 The Company may, subject to Article Ten of the
Indenture and applicable law, issue Additional Notes under the Indenture. 
  
 5.    Redemption. 

 
 Optional Redemption.    The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time on or after December 1, 2007, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the
 

 
 A2-6 








 
Redemption Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning December 1 of each of the years set forth below: 
  
 
	 Year
 
	  	 Redemption Price
 

	 2007
 	  	 105.250%
 
	 2008
 	  	 103.500%
 
	 2009
 	  	 101.750%
 
	 2010 and thereafter
 	  	 100.000%
 

 
  
 At any time prior to December 1, 2007, the Notes may be redeemed at
the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of 105.250% of the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed and scheduled interest payments (excluding interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date) on such Notes to and including December 1, 2007 discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, together in either case with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date. 
  
 In addition to the optional redemption of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, at any time prior to December 1, 2005, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes), within 60 days of one or more Equity Offerings with the net proceeds of such offerings, at 110.500% of the principal amount thereof, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on relevant Regular Record Dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date); provided,
however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes) remains outstanding thereafter. 
  
 If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes being redeemed are listed, or if the Notes are not so listed, by such other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no
such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $1,000; provided further that any such redemption pursuant to the provisions relating to a Equity Offering shall be made on a pro
rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC or any other depositary). 
  
 Notice of a redemption will be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at such Holder’s last address as it appears in the Note
Register. Notes in original denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part in integral multiples of $1,000. On and after the Redemption Date, interest
 

 
 A2-7 








 
ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price. 
  

6.    Repurchase upon a Change in Control and Asset Sales. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of (a) a Change in Control, the Holders of the Notes will have the right to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s outstanding Notes, in whole or in part, at a
