price as described in Section 3.07 hereof) plus (2) all remaining required interest payments due on
such Note through October 15, 2013 (excluding accrued but unpaid

plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Note.



          “Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of or for beneficial
interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream
that apply to such transfer or exchange.


          “Asset Sale” means:

 provided that the sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole will be governed by Sections 4.14 and/or 5.01 hereof and not by Section 4.10 hereof;

          “Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the time of
determination, the present value of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the
remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, including any period
for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended. Such
present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in
such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP.

have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by
conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is

          “Capital Stock” means (1) in the case of a corporation, corporate stock; (2) in the case of an
association or business entity, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights or other
equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock; (3) in the case of a partnership or limited
liability company, partnership or membership interests (whether general or limited); and (4) any

law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The
Notes shall be issued in registered, global form without interest coupons and only shall be in
minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.





26











 




          The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of
this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to
the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the
provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.


          (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
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 A 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 2.07
hereof.


          (c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating
Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the

by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.



Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.



          One Officer of the Company shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature.


          If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.


          A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence and the only evidence, that the Note has been authenticated
and delivered under this Indenture.


          The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is unlimited.


          The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company
(an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue on the date hereof of $250.0
million. At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue in aggregate
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order. The Authentication Order shall specify
the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated.
In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the





27









 








additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon:





     (A) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company in or pursuant to which the terms of the Notes were established, certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted
by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such
certificate;




     (B) an Officers’ Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 12.04(i)
hereof; and




     (C) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state:




     (1) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights and to general equity principles; and




     (2) that all laws and corporate requirements in respect of the
execution and delivery by the Company of such Notes have been complied with.


          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this
Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be
taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to
personal liability to existing Holders.


          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.
An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of
the Company.



Section 2.03 Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes.



          If a Holder of Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company shall
pay all principal, interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in
accordance with those instructions. All other payments on Notes shall be made at the office or
agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company
elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
register of Holders.






28









 








Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.



          (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of
their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name
and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or
maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company
or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


          (b) The
Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary
with respect to the Global Notes.


          (c) The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to
act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.



Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.



          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by
the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest
on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the
Company or one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company
or one of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust
fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or
reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the
Notes.



Section 2.06 Holder Lists.



          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA
§ 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least
seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require
of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA
§ 312(a).

Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be

     (ii) Restricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. Any Restricted

bear the legend in substantially the following form:




     THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN
THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS

IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT) OR (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE
TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) THAT IT WILL
NOT WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR
OF THIS SECURITY) RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO THE GEO
GROUP, INC. OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C)

ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OR (F) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER



39









 






THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE
EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY WITHIN ONE
YEAR AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THIS
SECURITY) PURSUANT TO (C), (D) OR (E), THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,
FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER
INFORMATION AS EITHER OF THEM MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER
IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS
“OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO
THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to
subparagraph (b)(iv), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) to this
Section 2.07 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall not
bear the Private Placement Legend.




     (ii) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:




THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THIS INDENTURE GOVERNING
THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS
HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT
(I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 2.07 OF THIS INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT
NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07(a) OF THIS INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE
MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12 OF THIS
INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY
WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.



          (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests
in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note
has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be
returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or
transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such
Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by
the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee




40









 







to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall
be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by
the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.





     (i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.




     (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company’s order or
at the Registrar’s request.




     (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11,
3.06, 3.08, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05 hereof).




     (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note
being redeemed in part.




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




     (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
day of mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at
the close of business on the day of such mailing, (B) to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange
a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (as defined in
the Notes).




     (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the
Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee,
any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.




     (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.



41









 






     (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be
submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.07 to effect a registration of
transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile with the original to follow by first
class mail.




     (ix) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as
to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture,
and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof.



Section 2.08 Replacement Notes.




          (a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the
Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company,
the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.




          (b) Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.




Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes.




          (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest
in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those
described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b)
hereof.




          (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide
purchaser.




          (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.




          (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of the
foregoing) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
shall cease to accrue interest.




42









 








Section 2.10 Treasury Notes.




          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.




Section 2.11 Temporary Notes.




          (a) Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated 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.




          (b) Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.




Section 2.12 Cancellation.




          The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of
canceled Notes in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of canceled securities in
effect as of the date of such disposition (subject to the record retention requirement of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the
Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.




Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest.




          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted
interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 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 Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and
payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the
related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date,
the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the
special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.





43












 





Section 2.14 CUSIP Numbers.




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

          If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of

before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture
pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount
of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.



Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.




          (a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at
any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the
Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in
accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of
partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise
provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee
from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.



          (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount at
maturity thereof to be redeemed. No Notes in amounts of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.
Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000;
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of
Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption
also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.



Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.




          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.08 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a
notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its



44









 





registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a
redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.




          The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP numbers) to be redeemed and shall
state:



          (i) the redemption date;



          (ii) the redemption price;




     (iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount at
maturity of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of
such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
original Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the
original Note;




     (iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent;




     (v) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price and become due on the date fixed for redemption;




     (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;




     (vii) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and




     (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.



          (b) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s
name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee,
at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee
give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph. The notice, if mailed in the manner provided herein shall be presumed to have
been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.



Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.




          Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A
notice of redemption may not be conditional.



Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.




          (a) One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee
or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and



45









 





accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.
The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the
Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption
price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.




          (b) If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for
redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the
related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note
called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of
the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal,
from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not
paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01
hereof.



Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part.




          Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal
amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. No Notes in denominations of $2,000 or
less shall be redeemed in part.



Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.




          (a) At any time on or prior to October 15, 2012, the Company may on any one or more occasions
redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued hereunder at a redemption price
of 107.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity

part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price
equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (B) the Applicable Premium as of
the date of redemption, plus (C) accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
date of redemption.



          (c) Except as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.07, the Company shall not
have the option to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.07 on or prior to October 15, 2013.

60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth

	 	 	100.000	%






          (d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.



Section 3.08 Repurchase Offers.




          In the event that, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, the Company shall be required to
commence an offer to all Holders to purchase their respective Notes (a “Repurchase Offer”), it
shall follow the procedures specified below.



          The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its
commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law
(the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period
(the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer
Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any
Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.



          If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related
interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a
Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall
be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer.



          Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a
notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to
the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall
govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall state:




     (i) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.08 and Section
4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer shall remain open;




     (ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;




     (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or
accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any;



47









 






     (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note (or portion
thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall cease to accrete or
accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after the Purchase Date;




     (v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may
elect to have Notes purchased in principal amounts of $2,000 or in integral multiples of
$1,000 only;




     (vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer
shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the
Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address
specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;




     (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the
Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration
of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;




     (viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer
Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis or in
accordance with the procedures of the Depositary (with such adjustments as may be deemed
appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and




     (ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or
transferred by book-entry transfer).



          On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro
rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered
pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes (or
portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3.08. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly

the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the
Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the
Repurchase Offer as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of Section 6.01(a)(iv) of this
Indenture until 120 days after the date any report under this Section 4.03 is due.



          Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate.




          (a) The Company shall and shall cause each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so
required under the TIA) to deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal

Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed
and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he
or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in

accountants (which shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the
examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their
attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article
Four or Article Five hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and
period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly
or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

material respect to the Holders of the Notes.



Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.




          The Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay,
extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they
shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law has been enacted.



Section 4.07 Restricted Payments.




          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly:




     (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of
the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without
limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any
Restricted Subsidiary’s Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or
distributions payable (A) in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company
or (B) to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);




     (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without

Restricted Subsidiary or except any payment made at the Stated Maturity thereof (or any
payment, purchase or other acquisition, in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund
obligation, principal installment or final maturity due within one year); or




     (iv) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in
clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),



52









 





unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:




          (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a
consequence of such Restricted Payment; and



          (2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma
effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and



          (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted
Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date hereof (excluding
Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07(b), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v)) and the aggregate of
any Permitted Investments then outstanding pursuant to clause (15) of the definition thereof, is
less than the sum, without duplication, of:




     (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as
one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing
after the date hereof to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter
for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted
Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100%
of such deficit), plus




     (B) (i) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds plus (ii) 100% of the aggregate
fair market value of any Permitted Business or assets used or useful in a Permitted
Business (other than Restricted Investments), in each case, to the extent received
by the Company since the date hereof as a contribution to its common equity capital
or in consideration of the issuance of Equity Interests of the Company (other than
Disqualified Stock), except to the extent used to make an Investment pursuant to
clause (12) or (14) of the definition of Permitted Investments, or from the issue or
sale of Disqualified Stock or debt securities of the Company that have been
converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests
(or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company);
plus




     (C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date
hereof is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of
(i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the
cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted
Investment; plus




     (D) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company is
redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date hereof, the lesser of (i) the
fair market value of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidary’s Investment in such
Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) the fair market value of the
Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the
date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted




53












 






Subsidiary to the extent such Investment was treated as a Restricted
Payment, plus the amount of any Investments made in such Subsidiary subsequent to
such designation (or in the case of any Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted
Subsidiary as of the date of this Indenture, subsequent to the date of this
Indenture) to the extent any such Investment was treated as a Restricted Payment by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; plus




     (E) 100% of any other dividends or other distributions received by the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary since the date hereof from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of
the Company to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in
Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period in an amount not to exceed
the amount of Restricted Investments previously made by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary.



          (b) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the
preceding provisions will not prohibit:





     (i) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of the
dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend payment would have complied with the
provisions of this Indenture;




     (ii) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any
subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the
Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other
than Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are
utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition
will be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(3)(B);




     (iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence
of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;




     (iv) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its
Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;




     (v) repurchases of Equity Interests of the Company deemed to occur upon the exercise of
stock options if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof;




     (vi) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity
Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any member of
the Company’s (or any Restricted Subsidiary’s) management; provided that the aggregate
amount expended pursuant to this clause (vi) shall not exceed $2.0 million in any
twelve-month period; and




     (vii) Restricted Payments not otherwise permitted in an amount not to exceed $150.0
million.



54









 





          The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the
date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued
by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.
The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section
4.07 shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company whose resolution with respect
thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. Except with respect to a Restricted Payment permitted by
Section 4.07(b) above, the Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or
appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $10.0 million. Not later than the date on which such Restricted Payment
was made, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by
this Section 4.07 were computed.



Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries.




          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or
consensual restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:





     (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;




     (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or




     (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries.



          (b) However, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.08(a) will not apply to encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of:





     (i) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and the Credit Facilities as in effect
on the date hereof and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the
amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacement or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with
respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those
agreements on the date hereof;




     (ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Exchange Notes;




     (iii) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;




     (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of



55









 






such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred
in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), 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; provided that
in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture
to be incurred;




     (v) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or agreement entered into in
the ordinary course of business and customary provisions restricting subletting or transfer
of any interest in real or personal property contained in any lease or easement agreement of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;




     (vi) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of
business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in Section
4.08(a)(iii);




     (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that
Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets or Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary;




     (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in
the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to dividends
and other payments are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those
contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;




     (ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under Section 4.12
that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;




     (x) 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;




     (xi) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;




     (xii) any Indebtedness incurred in compliance with the Section 4.09 by any Foreign
Subsidiary or any Guarantor, or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness is issued,
if the encumbrance or restriction applies only to such Foreign Subsidiary or Guarantor and
only in the event of a payment default or default with respect to a financial covenant
contained in the Indebtedness or agreement and the encumbrance or restriction is not
materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable
financings (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) and the Board of
Directors of the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not
materially affect the Company’s ability to pay interest or principal on the Notes; or



56









 






     (xiii) an arrangement or circumstance arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of
business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that does not, individually or in the
aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.


Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.




          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided,
however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified
Stock, and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock and any Foreign
Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most
recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available
immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a
pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the preferred stock or Disqualified Stock had been
issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.




          (b) Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of
Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock, as set forth below (collectively, “Permitted
Debt”):





     (i) the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness under
the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this
clause 4.09(b)(i) not to exceed $525.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net
Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to repay any
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit
Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, pursuant to
Section 4.10;




     (ii) the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of Existing
Indebtedness;




     (iii) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness represented by the Notes to be

     (iv) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness
represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations,
in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or
cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including all
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund,



57









 






refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause 4.09(b)(iv), not
to exceed the greater of (i) $20.0 million and (ii) 5.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets, at
any time outstanding;




     (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund,
refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted
by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (ii), (iii), (v), or (xi)
of this Section 4.09(b);




     (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of intercompany
Indebtedness between or among the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,
that:




          (1) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of
all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note
Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and




          (2) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in
any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person
that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; will be deemed, in each
case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause
4.09(b)(vi);




     (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations
that are incurred for the purpose of fixing, hedging or swapping interest rate risk with
respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
outstanding or for hedging foreign currency exchange risk, in each case to the extent the
Hedging Obligations are incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s financial
management and not for any speculative purpose;




     (viii) the Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of
this Section 4.09;




     (ix) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount,
the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the
same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the
form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09;
provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the
Company as accrued;




     (x) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness,
including Indebtedness represented by letters of credit for the account of



58









 






the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, incurred in respect of workers’ compensation
claims, self-insurance obligations, performance, proposal, completion, surety and similar
bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the
ordinary course of business; provided that the underlying obligation to perform is that of
the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and not that of the Company’s Unrestricted
Subsidiaries; provided further that such underlying obligation is not in respect of borrowed
money;




     (xi) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of additional
Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time
outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance
or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xi), not to exceed $50.0
million;




     (xii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness,
including but not limited to Indebtedness represented by letters of credit for the account
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, arising from agreements of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar
obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any
business, assets or Equity Interests of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than
guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such
business, assets or Equity Interests for the purpose of financing such acquisition;




     (xiii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness
arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient
funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished
within five Business Days of incurrence; or




     (xiv) the issuance of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company that is
pledged to secure the Credit Agreement, provided that any subsequent transfer that results
in such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary will be deemed to constitute an issuance of preferred stock not permitted by this
clause (xiv).



          (c) For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is not denominated in U.S. dollars, the amount of such
Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of incurrence of such
Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness not denominated in U.S. dollars is
subject to a Hedging Obligation with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if
any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S.
dollars will be as provided in such Hedging Obligation. The principal amount of any Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be
the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that (i) such U.S.
Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Hedging Obligation, in which case the Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in




59









 







accordance with the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in
which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.




          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item
of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt
described in clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant
to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date
of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner
that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the
date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture will be deemed to have
been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided in Section 4.09(b)(i).




          (e) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor, to incur any Indebtedness
(including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Note Guarantee on substantially identical
terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor will be deemed to be
contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any
Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of secured
Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor arrangements giving one or more of such holders
priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.



Section 4.10 Asset Sales.




          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless:





     (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the
assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (except in respect of
Designated Assets sold pursuant to a Designated Asset Contract);




     (ii) the fair market value or Designated Asset Value, as applicable, in the case of any
Asset Sales or series of related Asset Sales having a fair market value of $25.0 million or
more, is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of
Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and




     (iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this
Section 4.10(a)(iii) only, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:




          (1) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s
most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any



60









 






Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that
are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by
the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that
releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and




          (2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any
such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 90 days after the
applicable Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in
that conversion.




          (3) notes or other obligations or Indebtedness actually received by the Company
or any such Restricted Subsidiary as consideration for the sale or other disposition
of a Designated Asset pursuant to a Designated Asset Contract, but only to the
extent that such notes or other obligations or Indebtedness were explicitly required
to be included, or permitted to be included solely at the option of the purchaser,
in such consideration pursuant to such contract;




          (4) Indebtedness actually received by the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary as consideration for the sale or other disposition of an Unoccupied
Facility, in an aggregate principal amount, in any fiscal year of the Company, when
taken together with all Indebtedness received as consideration pursuant to this
clause (4) since the date hereof (but, to the extent that the principal of any
Indebtedness received pursuant to this clause (4) is repaid in cash or such
Indebtedness is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus the amount of such cash
received), not to exceed $20 million; and




          (5) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale, in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year
of the Company (measured on the date such Designated Non-Cash Consideration was
received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), when taken together
with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received as consideration pursuant
to this clause (5) during such fiscal year (but, to the extent that any such
Designated Non-Cash Consideration is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus
the lesser of (x) the amount of the cash received (less the cost of disposition, if
any) and (y) the initial amount of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration), not to
exceed $25 million.



          (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section 4.10, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may engage in Asset Swaps; provided that:





     (i) immediately after giving effect to such Asset Swap, the Company would be permitted
to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof; and




     (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the fair market value of the
assets received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Swap is not less
than the fair market value of the assets disposed of by the Company or



61









 






such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Swap and such determination is evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the
Trustee.



          (c) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds, at its option:





     (i) to repay permanently Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and with respect to
Net Proceeds of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, Indebtedness of such
Restricted Subsidiary) and, if the Indebtedness permanently repaid is revolving credit
Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;




     (ii) to acquire, or enter into a definitive agreement to acquire, all or substantially
all of the assets of, a Permitted Business or a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person
engaged in a Permitted Business, provided that such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary
and provided further, however, in the case of a definitive agreement, that such acquisition
closes within 120 days of such 360 day period;




     (iii) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted
Business (provided that the completion of (a) construction of new facilities, (b) expansions
to existing facilities and (c) repair or construction of damaged or destroyed facilities, in
each case, which commences within such 360 days may extend for an additional 360 day period
if the Net Proceeds to be used for such construction, expansion or repair are committed
specifically for such activity within such 360 days); or




     (iv) to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.



          Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce
revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not
prohibited by this Indenture.




          (d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the
preceding paragraph, or that the Company determines will not be applied or invested as provided in
the preceding paragraph, will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all
Holders of Notes and, at the Company’s option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu
with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to
offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase on a pro rata basis
the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased
out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an
Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes
and such other pari passu Indebtedness shall




62









 







be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.




          (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale
provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 4.10 by virtue
of such conflict.



Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.




          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make
any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets
to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or amend any contract, agreement, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”),
unless:





     (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable
transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and




     (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee:




          (1) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section
4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and




          (2) except with respect to leases of facilities entered into in the ordinary
course of business with a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, with respect to any Affiliate
Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the
Company of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.



          (b) The following items shall be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will
not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):





     (i) indemnity agreements and reasonable employment arrangements (including severance
and retirement agreements) entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in each
case approved by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company;




63












 






     (ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;




     (iii) payment of reasonable directors fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates
of the Company;




     (iv) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company;




     (v) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07;




     (vi) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities
or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of employment arrangements, stock options and stock
ownership plans and other reasonable fees, compensation, benefits and indemnities paid or
entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business to or with officers, directors or employees of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries; and




     (vii) any pledge of any Government Operating Agreement to secure Non-Recourse Project
Financing Indebtedness related to the facility that is the subject of such Government
Operating Agreement.


Section 4.12 Liens.




          The Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create,
incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other
than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless
all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable or prior
basis with the Obligations so secured until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by
a Lien.



Section 4.13 Business Activities.




          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any
business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries takes as a whole.



Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control.




          (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change
of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of
purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the
Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”) specified in the notice, which date will be



64









 






no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed,
pursuant to the procedures described in Section 3.08 and described in such notice. The Company
shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities
laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture
relating to such Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities
laws and regulations and shall be deemed not to have breached its obligations under Section 4.14 by
virtue of such conflict.




          (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept
for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions thereof so properly tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating
the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The
Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal
amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly
announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change
of Control Payment Date.




          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company shall not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable
to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.



Section 4.15 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.




          The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default. If a
Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value
of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be Investments made as of the time of the
designation, subject to the limitations on Restricted Payments. That designation will only be
permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary
otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company
may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation
would not cause a Default; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is
permitted under Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such



65









 






designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no
Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.




Section 4.16 Payments for Consent.



          The Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes
for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of
this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all
Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.




Section 4.17 Sale and Leaseback Transactions.



          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale
and Leaseback Transaction; provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a
Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:





     (i) the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred
Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in Section 4.09(a) hereof and (b)
incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.12;




     (ii) the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal
to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property
that is the subject of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction; and




     (iii) the transfer of assets in that Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted by,
and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.10
hereof.



Section 4.18 Additional Note Guarantees.



          (a) The Notes shall initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Initial
Guarantors and may be guaranteed by additional Subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to this Section
4.18.




          (b) The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which are not Guarantors
directly or indirectly, to Guarantee the payment of





     (i) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor under any Credit Facility or




     (ii) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor evidenced by bonds, notes or
other debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million or more, unless, in
each case, such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a



66









 






supplemental indenture, in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, providing for the
Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall
be senior to or pari passu with such Subsidiary’s Guarantee of such other Indebtedness.


Section 4.19 Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.





     (a) If on any date following the date hereof:




     (i) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s or BBB- or better by Standard &
Poor’s (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the
control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other
“nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section
3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and




     (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
(collectively, a “Covenant Suspension Event”);


then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of Section 4.19(b), the following
sections shall be suspended:





	 	(1)	 	Section 4.10;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Section 4.07;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Section 4.09;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Section 4.08;
	 
	 	(5)	 	Section 4.15;
	 
	 	(6)	 	Section 4.11;
	 
	 	(7)	 	clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a);
	 
	 	(8)	 	clauses (i)(a) and (iii) of Section 4.17; and
	 
	 	(9)	 	Section 4.13.





          (b) During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended (a “Suspension
Period”), the Company’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof unless such designation would have been
permitted if a Suspension Period had not been in effect at such time.




          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.19(a) above, if the rating assigned by such
rating agency should subsequently decline and the Notes are not rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s nor
BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s (or if either such agency ceases to rate the Notes, the
equivalent investment grade credit rating from another nationally recognized



67









 






statistical rating organization), the foregoing covenants will be reinstated as of and from
the date of such rating decline. Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.07 will be made as if
Section 4.07 had been in effect since the date hereof except that no default will be deemed to have
occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended.
Notwithstanding that the suspended covenants may be reinstated, no default will be deemed to have
occurred as a result of a failure to comply with such suspended covenants during any period such
covenants have been suspended.




          (d) The Company shall give prompt written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event and the
termination of any Covenant Suspension Event to the Trustee.



Section 4.20 Liquidated Damages Notice




          (a) In the event that the Company is required to pay Liquidated Damages to holders of Notes
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will provide written notice (the
“Liquidated Damages Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Liquidated Damages no later
than fifteen days prior to the proposed payment date for the Liquidated Damages, and the Liquidated
Damages Notice shall set forth the amount of Liquidated Damages to be paid by the Company on such
payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder
of Notes to determine the Liquidated Damages, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation
of the amount of Liquidated Damages owed, or with respect to the method employed in such
calculation of the Liquidated Damages.

otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person or group
of affiliated Persons, or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into any such
transaction or transactions if such transaction or transactions, in the aggregate, would result in
an assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the

successor corporation and not to the Company) and may exercise all rights and powers of, the
Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the
company herein.

shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Note Guarantee;

Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:




     (1) commences a voluntary case,




     (2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case,




     (3) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or




     (4) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and



70









 






     (ix) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy
Law that:




          (1) is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case; or




          (2) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a

          (3) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is

Section 6.02 Acceleration.




          (a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (viii) or (ix) of Section 6.01
hereof, with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or
notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of Default.




          (b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in clause
(v) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically
annulled if the holders of any Indebtedness described in clause (v) of Section 6.01(a) hereof have
rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of the Indebtedness within 30 days of the date
of the declaration and if:





     (i) the annulment of the acceleration of Notes would not conflict with any judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and




     (ii) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal or interest on the
Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or
waived.



Section 6.03 Other Remedies.



         (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available
remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, and



71









 




Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture.




          (b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does
not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a
Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.



Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.




          Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the
Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in
connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders
have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver,
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from
this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.



Section 6.05 Control by Majority.




          Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it and the Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve
the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of
any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the
payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.



Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.





     (a) A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, or the Notes only if:




     (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;



72









 






     (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make
a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;




     (iii) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the
Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction;




     (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and




     (v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.



          (b) A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of
a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood
that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).



Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.




          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with
respect to, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in
connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.



Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.




          If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated
Damages, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium, if
any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, and 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.



Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.




          The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and 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 the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any



73









 






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 to 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 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied
for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any
and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization
or arrangement or otherwise. 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, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.




Section 6.10 Priorities.



          (a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in
the following order:





     First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07
hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;




     Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal,
premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal,
premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, respectively; and




     Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall
direct.



          (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes
pursuant to this Section 6.10.



Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.




          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit
by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders
of more than ten percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.



Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.



          (a) Within 60 days after each May 1 beginning with the May 1 following the date hereof, and

reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this
Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by either of the Company or
any Guarantor or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss,
liability, damage, claim or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct.

hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The

          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof and
clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and
the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “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 (it
being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For
this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the 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 any reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as



81









 








specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a)(iii)
through (vii) shall not constitute Events of Default.




Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.



          (a) The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof to the outstanding Notes:




     (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date,
as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to
maturity or to a particular redemption date and, if the Notes are being defeased to a
particular redemption date, the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable
notice of redemption;




     (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or
(b) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will 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 Legal 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 Legal Defeasance had not occurred;




     (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the
Holders of the outstanding 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;




     (iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing either (a) on the
date of such deposit or (b) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency
events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of
deposit;




     (v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other
than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;



82









 






     (vi) the Company must 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
Notes over the other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others;




     (vii) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and after the passage of 123 days following the deposit, the trust fund will not be
subject to the effect of Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New
York Debtor and Creditor Law; and




     (viii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or
the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.



Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions.



          (a) Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the 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 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,
premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.


          (b) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to
Section 8.04 hereof 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 the outstanding Notes.


          (c) Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company any money or
non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.



Section 8.06 Repayment to the Company.



          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, 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 its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look



83









 








only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Company as Trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall
Street Journal (national edition), 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 8.07 Reinstatement.



          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable
Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, 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 the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be;
provided, however, that, if the
Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.



ARTICLE NINE

of a Note:




     (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;




     (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated

Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially
all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s assets;




     (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the

Indenture of any such Holder;




     (v) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;



84









 






     (vi) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such
provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes;




     (vii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the
limitations described herein; or




     (viii) to allow a Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture for the purpose of
providing a Note Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.


          (b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company
in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of
this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein
contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.



Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.



          (a) Except as provided in Section 9.02(e), the Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then
outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any

obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).


          (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of

is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by
virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after
such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action
by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.


          (c) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended



85









 








or supplemental indenture
unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.



          (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof.


          (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) may
waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, or
the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):




     (i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver;




     (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change the
optional redemption dates or optional redemption prices from those provided in Section 3.07
of this Indenture;




     (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;




     (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or
premium, or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of
the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);




     (v) make any Note payable in money other than U.S. dollars;




     (vi) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past
Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest
or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes;




     (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note;




     (viii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or
this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;




     (ix) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with
respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees;



86









 






     (x) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate an
Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof after
the obligation to make an Asset Sale Offer has arisen or the obligation of the Company to
make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in
accordance with Section 4.14 hereof after a Change of Control has occurred, including, in
each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;




     (xi) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.



Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.



          Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended
or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.



Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.



          Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a
Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of
the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.



Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.



          (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on
any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver.


          (b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity
and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.



Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.



          The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or Note authorized pursuant to
this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental
indenture or Note until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or
supplemental indenture or Note, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof)
shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to such execution have been met.

the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of,
premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if lawful (subject in
all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company

in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.


          (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law,
their 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, 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

claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that

Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to any of the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect.




88









 







          (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of
all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in, but subject to the provisions of,
Article Six hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and
(y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair
the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.



Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.



          Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
such Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.



Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of a Supplemental Indenture Relating to a Note
Guarantee.



          (a) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of
such Note Guarantee.


          (b) If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on a supplemental indenture no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall
be valid nevertheless.


          (c) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the
Guarantors.


          (d) If required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute
supplemental indentures to this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.18 hereof and this
Article Ten, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.



          (a) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets
to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:




     (i) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default
exists; and




     (ii) either:




     (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the
obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee and the

the Trustee; or




     (B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger complies with
Section 4.10 hereof.

executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee and the
due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor
with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.

hereunder, (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of
such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before
or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale of
all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section 4.10 hereof; (ii) if the Company
properly designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture; (iii) upon
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as permitted

provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by
agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where
it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section

other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such witness, notary or officer the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding
TIA § 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such
resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation
of Holders generally in connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders
forwarded to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not later
than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after
such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall
be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion
of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the then
outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization,
agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 90 days after the
record date.



          (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note
issued upon the registration or transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.



          (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Note may do so itself with regard to all or any part of the principal
amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to
such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.


Section 12.15 Benefit of Indenture.




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

          The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and Headings of the Articles and Sections of this
Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of
this Indenture and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of
God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and
hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are
consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as
practicable under the circumstances.


Section 12.19 U.S.A. Patriot Act.




          The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act,
the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism
and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each
person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The
parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may
request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price
equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (B) the Applicable Premium as of
the date of redemption, plus (C) accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
date of redemption.




          (c) Except as set forth in clauses 5(a) and 5(b) above, the Company shall not have the option
to redeem the Notes on or prior to October 15, 2013. Thereafter, the Company may redeem all or a
part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the

	Year	 	Percentage	 
	2013
	 	 	103.875	%
	2014
	 	 	101.938	%
	2015 and thereafter.
	 	 	100.000	%






          6. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each
Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the
offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages
thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder






A-6









 







describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes
on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than
60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the
procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.




          (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds, at its option: (i) to repay
permanently Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and with respect to Net Proceeds of a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary) and, if
the Indebtedness permanently repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto; (ii) to acquire, or enter into a definitive agreement to acquire,
all or substantially all of the assets of, a Permitted Business or a majority of the Voting Stock
of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business, provided that such Person becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary and provided further, however, in the case of a definitive agreement, that such
acquisition closes within 120 days of such 360 day period; (iii) to make a capital expenditure in
or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business (provided that the completion of (a) construction
of new facilities, (b) expansions to existing facilities and (c) repair or construction of damaged
or destroyed facilities, in each case, which commences within such 360 days may extend for an
additional 360 day period if the Net Proceeds to be used for such construction, expansion or repair
are committed specifically for such activity within such 360 days); or (iv) to acquire other
long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. Pending the final application of
any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise
invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. Any Net Proceeds
from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding sentence or that the
Company detemines will not be applied or invested as provided in the preceding sentence will
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million,
the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, at the
Company’s option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing
provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount
of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.
The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable
in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use
those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer
exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness shall be
purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess
Proceeds will be reset at zero.




          7. Selection and Notice of Redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or
purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or
purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so
listed, on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered), by lot or in accordance with any other
method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption





A-7









 







by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not
previously called for redemption. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to
be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for
redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, cease to
accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.




          8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered
and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require
a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the
Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption.
Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before
the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes.




          9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as its owner for
all purposes.




          10. Amendment, Supplement and 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
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single
class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender
offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision
of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or
the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; to provide for the
assumption of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a
merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s
assets; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of
Notes or that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
Holder; to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of
the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to allow any Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes; to
conform the text of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the
“Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such provision in the “Description
of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Notes; to provide for the
issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations described herein; or to allow a
Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture for the purpose of providing a Note Guarantee in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.




A-8









 








          11. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is
a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the
Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of
Default. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages)
if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or
Liquidated Damages on, or the principal of, the Notes.




          12. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.




          13. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder
of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes
by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the federal securities laws.




          14. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.




          15. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.
In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global
Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement dated as of October 20, 2009, between the Company and the parties named on the
signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights
agreement, if any, between the Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the other parties thereto,
relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of Additional Notes
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”).




A-9









 








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




          The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the
Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to:
