THE NOTES



Section 2.01.Form and Dating.



(a) General. The Notes shall be known and designated as the 6.688% Senior Notes due 2009 of the Company. The
Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be May 1, 2009. The Notes and the Trustees certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The
Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples thereof. 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) Form of Notes. Notes shall be issued initially in global form and 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 and transfers of interests therein. 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 or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.



(c) Book-Entry Provisions. Participants and Indirect Participants shall have
no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary
practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.



(d) Certificated Securities. If at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time
the Depositary shall no longer be eligible as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary. If a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Notes, will authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes, in
authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount and like terms and tenor equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes.



The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that Global Notes shall no longer be represented by such
Global Notes. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Notes of the same terms and tenor, will authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes, in
authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes.

aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Persons beneficial interest in the Global Note; and



(ii) to such Depositary a new Global Note in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
surrendered Global Note and the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Notes delivered to holders pursuant to clause (a) above.



Upon the exchange of a Global Note for Definitive Notes, such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee.
Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or Indirect Participants or
otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee in writing. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Notes to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered or to the Depositary.



Section 2.02.Execution and

for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

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, or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial
redemption, 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.



The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of

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, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular 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 Regular 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 and premium, if any, 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.

interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest
(including interest that accrues after, or would have accrued but for, the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time on demand at
the same such rate to the extent lawful.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



37



---

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



Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as a general unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, 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 or 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 publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.



Section 4.02.Maintenance of Office or Agency.



(a) The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office or drop
facility of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to
receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.



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



(c) The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, as one such office, drop facility or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.04.

(a) From and after the date that the Company (i) first
produces financial statements for a completed fiscal year, including an unqualified report thereon from its independent public accountants, and (ii) provides a copy thereof to the Commission and resolves any comments thereon (such date, the
Financial Reporting Date), notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Notes are outstanding the Company shall file with the Commission, to
the extent such submissions are accepted for filing with the Commission, and shall furnish to the Trustee, within 15 days after it is or would have been required to be filed with the Commission:



(i) all quarterly and annual financial information that

report on the annual financial statements by the Companys certified independent accountants; and



(ii) all information that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.



Prior to the Financial Reporting Date, the Company shall deliver the
information set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above to the Trustee and the Holders within 15 days after it would have been required to be filed with the Commission; provided however that the Company need not (1) provide balance sheet
information (other than cash, debt and capital expenditure information consistent with the information provided in its monthly operating reports), cash flow or stockholders equity data, or any footnotes to the financial information (or any
managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations related to such information) and may provide income statement data in a manner consistent with the monthly operating reports or (2) obtain a report thereon
from its independent public accountants, and such information may be designated by the Company as subject to further review and adjustment. Prior to the Financial Reporting Date, the Company shall submit for review by the audit committee of the

Moodys and S&P within 30 days of the Financial Reporting Date.

therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers Certificates). In addition, the
Company shall cause its annual reports to stockholders and any quarterly or other financial reports furnished by it to stockholders that are not filed via EDGAR generally to be filed with the Trustee and mailed no later than the date such materials
are mailed or made available to the Companys stockholders, to the Holders at their addresses as set forth in the register of securities maintained by the Registrar.



Section 4.04.Compliance Certificate.



(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end
of each fiscal year, an Officers Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining
whether the Company and its Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their 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
and its Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in 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 existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.



(b) So long
as not contrary to then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above shall be accompanied



39



---

by a written statement of the Companys independent public accountants 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 4 or Article 5 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.



(c) The Company shall comply with TIA §314(a)(2).



(d) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 Business Days after becoming aware of the occurrence thereof,
written notice in the form of an Officers Certificate of any Default or an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.



Section 4.05.Taxes.



The Company shall pay or discharge, and shall cause each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies; provided that neither the Company nor any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or
discharged, any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or where
the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.



Section 4.06.Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.



The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (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 and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it 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.Corporate Existence.



The Company and each Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or
any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to
preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that (a) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and (b) the loss thereof is not materially adverse to either the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the ability of the Company to otherwise
satisfy its obligations hereunder, and provided further that this Section does not prohibit any transaction otherwise permitted by Section 4.14 or Article 5.



Section 4.08.Payments for Consent.



The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to or for the benefit of any Holder 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 or is paid to all Holders 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 4.09.Maintenance of Properties and Insurance



(a) The Company will cause all material properties used or useful in the
conduct of its business or the business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order so that the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing in this Section prevents the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such
discontinuance or disposal is, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.



(b) The Company will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including
appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties, including, but not limited to, products liability insurance and public liability insurance,
with reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are customary for corporations similarly situated in the industry in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are then conducting business.



Section 4.10.Line of Business



The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, to engage in any business other than a Related Business, except to an extent that so doing would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.



Section 4.11.Incurrence of Additional
Debt



The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt unless, either:



(a) such Debt is Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the application
of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio would be at least (x) 2.50 to 1.00 until the third anniversary of the Issue Date and (y) at least 2.00 to 1.00 thereafter, or



(b) such Debt is Permitted Debt.



Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value,
the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.11. The
amount of any Debt outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value of the Debt in the case of any Debt issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon
that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Debt.



For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate (as reasonably determined by the Company) in effect on the date such Debt was incurred, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided, that if such Debt is incurred to refinance
other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such
U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 4.11, the maximum amount of Debt that the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Debt incurred to
refinance other Debt, if incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
refinancing.



41



---

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant in the event that an item of Debt meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (a) through (p) of the definition of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part, in its sole discretion) such item of Debt in any manner that complies with this covenant.



Section 4.12.Restricted Payments.



The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment,



(a) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,



(b) the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.11
hereof; or



(c) the aggregate amount of such
Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made since the Issue Date (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value as determined in good faith by the Company) would exceed
an amount equal to the sum of:



(1) 50.0% of
the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending for which
financial statements are available (or if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100.0% of such deficit), plus



(2) Capital Stock Sale Proceeds, plus



(3) the sum of:



(A) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company or any Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after the Issue Date of
convertible or exchangeable Debt that has been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company, and



(B) the aggregate amount by which Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary is reduced on the Companys consolidated balance sheet on or
after the Issue Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Debt issued or sold on or prior to the Issue Date that is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company,



excluding, in the case of clause (A) or (B):



(x) any such Debt issued or sold to the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company, and



(y) the
aggregate amount of any cash or other Property (other than Equity Interests) distributed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or exchange,



plus



(4) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, an amount
equal to the lesser of the return of capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of such Investment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such Investment, (without duplication) plus



(5) an amount equal to the portion (proportionate to the
Companys equity interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary as determined in good faith by
the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Person, the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person,
plus



(6) $100.0 million.



42



---

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph will not
prohibit:



(a) the Company and any Restricted
Subsidiary may pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the declaration thereof if, on said declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the Indenture, including but not limited to the preceding provisions of
this Section 4.12;



(b) the Incurrence,
renewal, extension or refinancing of Permitted Refinancing Debt;



(c) the exchange or conversion of any Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for or into Qualified Capital Stock of the Company;



(d) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of Capital
Stock or Subordinated Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock
issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company); provided, however, that



(1) such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; and



(2) the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from such exchange or
sale shall be excluded from the calculation pursuant to clause (c)(2) of the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.12;



(e) scheduled dividends (not constituting a return on capital) on Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or on Disqualified Stock of
the Company issued pursuant to and in compliance with Section 4.11 hereof;



(f) the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale
(other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Subordinated Debt;



(g) repurchases of shares of, or options to purchase shares of, common stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (x) from current or former officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such current or former officers, directors or employees), pursuant to the terms of agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by the Board of Directors under which
such individuals purchase or sell, or are granted the option to purchase or sell, shares of such common stock or (y) which are or are intended to be used to satisfy issuances of Equity Interests upon exercise of employee or director stock options or
upon exercise or satisfaction of other similar instruments outstanding under employee or director benefit plans of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that:



(1) the aggregate amount of such repurchases shall not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year (with
unused amounts in any year carried forward to subsequent years) and



(2) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom) at the time of such repurchase;



(h) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or warrants if such Capital Stock represents a portion
of the exercise price thereof;



(i) payments
made to purchase, redeem, defease, refinance or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock or Subordinated Debt of the Company pursuant to provisions requiring the Company to offer to purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or
retire for value such Capital Stock or Subordinated Debt upon the occurrence of a change of control or with the proceeds of asset sales as defined in the charter provisions, agreements or instruments governing such Capital
Stock or Subordinated Debt; provided, however, that prior to any such purchase, repurchase redemption, legal defeasance, retirement refinance or acquisition for value, the Company has consummated an Asset Sale Offer or Change of Control Offer with
respect to the Notes as provided in Section 4.14 and Section 4.21 and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer.



43



---

(j) payments required to be made or otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 5.07 of
the Plan of Reorganization including, without limitation, repurchases of stock to be made in the amount of the difference between (x) the amount of the Companys available cash and cash equivalents calculated as of the Companys date of
emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings after satisfying and reserving for all required payments under the Plan of Reorganization and (y) $1 billion;



(k) Restricted Payments by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted to be made under clauses (a)
through (j) above in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists.



Each Restricted Payment described in clauses (a), (g), (h) and (k) of the previous sentence shall be taken into account (and the Restricted Payments
described in the remaining clauses shall not be taken into account) for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding paragraph.



Section 4.13.Liens.



The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its Property (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or
any income or profits therefrom, unless it has made or will make effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to, if the obligation secured by such Lien is Subordinated Debt) all other Debt of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary secured by such Lien.



Section 4.14.Asset Sales.



The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:



(a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
equal to the Fair Market Value of the property subject to such Asset Sale; and



(b) at least 75.0% of the consideration paid to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the
form of (i) cash or cash equivalents provided that the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) as a result of which the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities or the receipt of securities by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted within 90 days of receipt by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion, shall in each case be deemed cash or (ii) Additional Assets or a combination thereof.



The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,
to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt described below):



(a) to Repay Debt under the Credit Facilities of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not
a Guarantor (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company); or



(b) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net
Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale by a Subsidiary Guarantor should only be reinvested in Additional Assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor (including
Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor).





44



---

Pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
may temporarily reduce the revolving credit debt under its Credit Facilities or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in Cash Equivalents. Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 360
days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash or that is not segregated from the general funds of the Company for investment in identified Additional Assets in respect of a project that shall have been commenced, and for which binding
contractual commitments have been entered into, prior to the end of such 360-day period and that shall not have been completed or abandoned shall constitute Excess Proceeds; provided, however, that the amount of any Net Available Cash
that ceases to be so segregated as contemplated above and any Net Available Cash that is segregated in respect of a project that is abandoned or completed shall also constitute Excess Proceeds at the time any such Net Available Cash
ceases to be so segregated or at the time the relevant project is so abandoned or completed, as applicable; provided further, however, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that continues to be segregated for investment and that is not actually
reinvested within 540 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall also constitute Excess Proceeds.



When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $500.0 million (taking into account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company will
be required to make an offer to purchase (the Asset Sale Offer) the Notes which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount at maturity, at a purchase price equal to
100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with
the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in Section 3.09 hereof. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all
holders of Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for purchase in accordance with the Indenture, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose not prohibited by the Indenture and the
amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.



The term
Allocable Excess Proceeds will mean the product of:



(a) the Excess Proceeds and



(b) a fraction,



(1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Asset Sale Offer, and



(2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Asset Sale Offer and
the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date of the Asset Sale Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales requiring the
Company to make an offer to purchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Asset Sale Offer.



Within five Business Days after the Company is obligated to make a Asset Sale Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall send a
written notice, by first-class mail, to the holders of Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Company in good faith believes will enable such holders to make an informed decision with respect to such
Asset Sale Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed.



The Company will comply, to the
extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue
thereof.

Section 4.15.Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries.



The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:



(a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other
distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary,



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



(c) transfer any of its Property to the Company or any other
Restricted Subsidiary.



The foregoing limitations will not
apply:



(1) to encumbrances or restrictions
existing under or by reason of applicable law or regulations;



(2) with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c), to restrictions:



(A) in effect on the Issue Date (or otherwise contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization) or relating to Debt Incurred under clause (k)

Section 4.16.Affiliate Transactions.



The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the
purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any (i) Affiliate of the Company or (ii) any shareholder that beneficially owns more than 5% of the
Voting Stock of the Company (an Interested Person) (each of clause (i) and (ii), an Affiliate Transaction), unless:



(a) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than
those that could be obtained in a comparable arms-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate or Interested Person of the Company,



(b) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $25.0 million, the Board of Directors (including a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a Board Resolution promptly delivered to the Trustee, and



(c) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $75.0 million, the
Company obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries.

(d) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more

permitted by law) to employees made in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, so long as such loans and advances do not exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;



(h) transactions in connection with any
Qualified Securitization Transactions;



(i)
any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date (or otherwise contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization) or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or in any replacement agreement

Directors);



(j) transactions with joint
ventures or purchasers or sellers of goods or services which are fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of (x) the senior management of the Company for transactions less than $50 million and (y) the Board

(k) any transaction or series of transactions between the
Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries; and



47



---

(l) the issuance and sale of any Equity Interests or Qualified Capital Stock of the
Company.



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 with respect to any Property unless the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to:



(a) Incur Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt
with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.11 hereof, and



(b) create a Lien on such Property securing such Attributable Debt without also securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof.



Section 4.18.Limitation on
Accounts Receivables Facilities.



The Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of accounts receivable to a Securitization Subsidiary; provided that:



(a) the sale, transfer or other disposition is in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction; and



(b) the aggregate consideration received in each such sale,
transfer or other disposition is at least equal to the fair market value of the receivables sold.



Section 4.19.Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.



The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation is permitted under the covenant described in Section 4.12 and the Subsidiary to be so designated:



(a) does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary;



(b) to the extent the Debt of the Subsidiary
is not Non-Recourse Debt, any Guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Section 4.11 and Section 4.12;



(c) is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that would not be permitted by Section 4.16;



(d) is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (1)
to subscribe for additional Capital Stock or (2) to maintain or preserve such Persons financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results except to the extent permitted by Section 4.11 and Section
4.12; and



(e) has not Guaranteed any Debt of
the Company of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.



Unless so
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the newly designated Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an investment made as
of the time of that designation and will either reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.12 or reduce the amount available for future Investments under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted
Investments, as the Company determines in its sole discretion. The designation of such a Subsidiary or Person as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will only be permitted if, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, the deemed Investment
would be permitted at the time the Restricted Subsidiary is designated and, in any case, if that Subsidiary or Person otherwise satisfies the requirements of an Unrestricted Subsidiary set forth in this Section 4.19.





48



---

Upon designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this Section
4.19, such Restricted Subsidiary shall, by execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the trustee, be released from any Subsidiary Guarantee previously made by such Restricted Subsidiary.



Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officers Certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.12 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture, and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date, and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date
under Section 4.11 or if such Subsidiary is otherwise in default of any of the other covenants and provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the Company will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by one of the Companys Restricted Subsidiaries of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.11, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such 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.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, Embratel Participacoes S.A. (together with its successors and assigns, Embratel) is hereby designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the Issue Date (which designation
shall not be deemed a Restricted Payment) and shall remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary until designated as a Restricted Subsidiary by the Company pursuant to the preceding paragraph.



Section 4.20.Future Subsidiary Guarantors.



The Company shall cause each Person that is or becomes a Domestic Restricted
Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary will fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in Article 10 hereof.



Section 4.21.Repurchase at the
Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.



(a) Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall, within 30 days of a Change of Control, make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof. Each Holder shall have the right to accept such offer and
require the Company to repurchase all or any portion (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of such Holders Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer at a purchase price, in cash (the Change of Control Amount),
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the Purchase Date.



(b) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the
Change of Control Offer.



The Company will comply, to the
extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.21. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.21, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached it obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue
thereof.



49

Section 4.22.Intercompany Obligations.



At all times, the Company shall ensure that all intercompany obligations
(including, without limitation, obligations pursuant to transfer pricing and royalty agreements) owed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subordinated in writing in right of payment to the
Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee and unsecured.



Section 4.23.Plan of Reorganization Payments or Investments.



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, all distributions and arrangements to be made pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization in
respect of Claims or Equity Interests (both as defined therein), including any settlements thereof, and the utilization of excess Cash as contemplated under Section 5.07 thereof, whether before, on or after the Issue Date shall be permitted hereby
and will not constitute Restricted Payments, shall constitute Permitted Investments and shall constitute Permitted Debt, in each case as applicable, and shall also be disregarded in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income.



Section 4.24.Covenant Termination.



(a) All of the covenants set forth in Article 4 hereof shall
be applicable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries unless the Company reaches Investment Grade Status and maintains such status for six months from such date. After the Company has reached Investment Grade Status and such six month period
has elapsed, and notwithstanding that the Company may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from either or both of the Rating Agencies, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be released from their obligations to comply with
Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.18, 4.19, 4.21, 4.23 (any failure to comply thereunder will not be a Default or Event of Default) but shall remain obligated (i) to comply with Sections 4.01 through 4.09, Section 4.13, Section 4.17,
Section 4.20 and 4.22.



(b) The Company shall also, upon
reaching Investment Grade Status, remain obligated to comply with Section 5.01 (other than clause (d) of the first paragraph thereunder).

maturity of such Debt, or failure to pay any such Debt at Stated Maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time and such acceleration has not been rescinded within 60 days;



(f) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an
aggregate amount in excess of $100.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent at the time) in excess of amounts which the Companys insurance carriers have agreed to pay under applicable policies that shall be rendered against the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary and that shall not be waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect;



(g) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary

disaffirms such Subsidiary Guarantors obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty; and



(h) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee or sequestrator of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

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

(C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;



and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.



The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 Business Days after becoming aware of the occurrence thereof unless the
event otherwise giving rise to the requirement to deliver the notice is cured within such period, written notice in the form of an Officers Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of
Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.



Section 6.02.Acceleration.



If any Event of Default (other than those of the type described in Section 6.01(h) or (i) with respect to the Company)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and the Trustee upon the request of Holders of 25.0% in



52



---

aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes will, or the Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may, declare
the principal of all the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a notice
of acceleration (the Acceleration Notice), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.



In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, such amount with respect to all the
Notes will become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.



At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (by notice to the Trustee) may rescind and cancel that declaration and its consequences if:



(a) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;



(b) all existing Defaults and Events of
Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration and the reasonable charges and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and attorneys and all
other sums payable under this Indenture and past due have been paid by the Company; and



(c) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (at the same rate specified in the Notes) on overdue installments of
interest and overdue payments of principal which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration has been paid.



Section 6.03.Other Remedies.



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, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.



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, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder
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.



Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes may waive by consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) any then existing or potential Default, and its consequences, except
a default in the payment of the principal of premium if any or interest on any Notes or a default of any term which may not be amended without the consent of each Holder, as set forth in Section 9.02. In the event of any Event of Default specified
in clause (e) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences of that Event of Default, including without limitation any acceleration or resulting payment default, will be annulled, waived and rescinded,
automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, if within 60 days after the Event of Default arose:



(a) (i) the Debt that is the basis for the Event of Default has been discharged;



(ii) the holders of that Debt have rescinded or waived the
acceleration, notice or action, as the case may be, giving rise to the Event of Default; or



53



---

(iii) if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured; and



(b) no judgment or decree for the payment of
the Notes shall have been obtained by the Trustee as provided by the Indenture.



When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.



Section 6.05.Control by Majority.



Subject to Section 7.01, Section 7.02(f) (including the
Trustees receipt of the security or indemnification described therein) and Section 7.07, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will have
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law, or this Indenture or that Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may result in the incurrence of liability by the Trustee.

Section 6.06.Limitation on Suits.



No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:



(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default,



(b) Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered the
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and



(c) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days.



A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder
(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 to Receive Payment.



Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without
limitation, Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (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 (g) or (h) 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, and interest then due and owing (together with interest on
overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest) 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 allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed
in such matter and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due 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 any such compensation, expenses and advances of the Trustee and 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, moneys, securities and any other
properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or 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.



If the Trustee collects any
money pursuant to this Article 6, 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, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;



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



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



The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
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 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE VII



TRUSTEE



Section 7.01.Duties of Trustee.



(a) If an Event of Default which the Trustee has, or is deemed to have, notice hereunder has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Persons
own affairs.

Default:

be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this

absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein or otherwise verify the contents thereof).



(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:



(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;



(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof; and

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. Any facsimile signature of any Person on a document required or permitted in
this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee shall constitute a legal, valid and binding execution thereof by such Person.



(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not
be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.



(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.



(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company or the Holders of 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture and, in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of
Default exists.

(h) Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

(j) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the
Companys covenants herein.

immunities and protections from liability and its right to indemnification in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the Trustees officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees and also to the
Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustees right to compensation, shall survive the Trustees resignation or removal, the defeasance or discharge
of this Indenture and final payment of the Notes.



(l) The
right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.



(m) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.



(n) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers Certificate setting forth the names of individuals
and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers Certificate, including any person specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.



Section 7.03.Individual Rights of Trustee.



The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days,
apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.



57



---

Section 7.04.Trustees Disclaimer.



The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to
the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Companys use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Companys direction under any provision of this
Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other
document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.



Section 7.05.Notice of Defaults.



If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to
Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default has since been cured. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, 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.



Section 7.06.Reports by Trustee to
Holders.



Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning
with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in
TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA
§313(c).



A copy of each report at the time of its mailing
to the Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Notes are listed
on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.



Section 7.07.Compensation and Indemnity.



The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall agree in writing. The Trustees
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition
to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustees agents and counsel.



The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) or
any predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses
(losses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section
7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel if the Trustee has been reasonably advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and



58



---

in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee
through the Trustees own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.



The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes.



To secure the Companys payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture.



When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08.Replacement of Trustee.



A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustees acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.



The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days prior notice to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:



(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;



(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an
insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;



(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or



(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.



If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.



If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.



If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for
at least six months or is an initial Holder of the Notes, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.



A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to
the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor
Trustee



59



---

shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Companys obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.



Section 7.09.Successor Trustee
by Merger, etc.



If the Trustee consolidates, merges
or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or
banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.



Section 7.10.Eligibility; Disqualification.



There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50 million (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million) as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition.



This Indenture
shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b).



Section 7.11.Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.



The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.



ARTICLE VIII



LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE



Section 8.01.Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.



The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors and evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.



Section 8.02.Legal Defeasance and
Discharge.



Upon the Companys exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, Legal Defeasance). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented
by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a), (b), (c) and (d) below, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the



60



---

Companys obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Companys obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.



Section 8.03.Covenant Defeasance.



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 Section 4.03 and Sections 4.10 through 4.23 hereof, and the operation of clause (d) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01 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 specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of
Section 6.01 hereof, (but in the case of (h) and (i) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) or because of the Companys failure to comply with clause (d) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01 hereof.



Section 8.04.Conditions to Legal or
Covenant Defeasance.



The following shall be the
conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes.



The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if:



(a) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust (the defeasance trust), for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Securities, sufficient, in the opinion of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized
international standing, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the next available redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being
defeased to maturity or to that particular redemption date;



(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company delivers 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;



61



---

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company delivers 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;



(d) no Event of Default under Sections 6.01(g) or (h) shall have occurred with respect to the Company at any time in the period ending on
the 91st day after the cash and/or non-callable U.S. Government Securities have been deposited in the defeasance trust;



(e) 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 Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;



(f) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel, subject to customary exceptions, to the effect that on the 91st day following the deposit, the defeasance trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws generally
affecting creditors rights;



(g) the
Company delivers 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 Companys other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company;



(h) the Company delivers 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;



(i) Such Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest with respect to any securities of the Company or the Trustee shall be replaced pursuant to Article 7 with one that does not; and



(j) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or qualify as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or is registered
thereunder.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by
clause (b) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, (B) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year or
(C) as to which a redemption notice has been given calling the Notes for redemption within one year, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company.



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



Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, 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 all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.



62



---

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or U.S. 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.



Anything in this Article 8 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized international standing expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification 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 Company.



Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, 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 shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such cash and securities, 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 cash and securities remain 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 cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.



Section 8.07.Reinstatement.



If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable U.S. 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 cash and securities 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 to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.



ARTICLE IX

---

(h) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of outstanding Notes necessary for
amendment to or waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or for waiver of any Default in respect thereof;



(i) waive a Default in the payment of principal of, interest on, or redemption payment with respect to, the Notes (except a rescission of
acceleration of the Notes by the Holders thereof provided as in Section 6.02 and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);



(j) subordinate in right of payment the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees to any other debt of the Company; or



(k) other than releases permitted by the indenture (i)
release the Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or (ii) release the Subsidiary Guarantees of a group of Subsidiary Guarantors that together constitute a Significant Subsidiary.



The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their 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 120 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.



It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders 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.



After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected thereby to such Holders address appearing in the Note Register 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.



The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and
Officers Certificate stating that such amendment complies with the provisions of this Section 9.02 and (ii) after an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders describing such amendments.
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.



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 is a continuing consent by the
Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof 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 or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof 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.



65



---

Section 9.05.Notation on or Exchange of Notes.



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.



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 authorized pursuant to this Article 9 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 until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall
receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in 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 such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture
complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).

GUARANTEES



Section 10.01.Subsidiary Guarantees.



Subject to this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be
promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, and interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof whether or not such guaranteed obligations arise after the commencement of a proceeding
under the Bankruptcy Code (including post-petition interest) and whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim in any such proceeding (in each case to the extent permitted by law); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof,
redemption or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.



Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Subsidiary Guarantee shall be joint and several and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company under
this Indenture or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
further, to the extent permitted by law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited
to: (a) any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a Benefited Party), as a condition of payment or performance



66



---

by such Subsidiary Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Subsidiary Guarantor) of the Obligations under the
Subsidiary Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on
the books of any Benefited Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or
other defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the
cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Benefited Partys errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees, except
behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)(1) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Subsidiary Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Subsidiary
Guarantors obligations hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantors liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (4)
promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of the Subsidiary Guarantees, notices of default under the Notes or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the
Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Company and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any
One Action rule and (h) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Subsidiary Guarantees. Except to
the extent expressly provided herein, including Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 10.05, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its
Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture.



If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors any amount paid
by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.



Each Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary 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 Section 6.02 hereof for the purposes of this Subsidiary 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 Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary
Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders
under the Subsidiary Guarantee.



Section
10.02.Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.



Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary 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 or Canadian federal or provincial law to the



67



---

extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, including, if applicable, its guarantee of all obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.



Section 10.03.Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.



To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer of
such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor.



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



If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.



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



Section 10.04.Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc. on Certain Terms.



In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance involving a Subsidiary Guarantor where the successor Person is required to become a
Subsidiary Guarantor upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes, such
successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary
Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under this Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.



Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary or any other Person, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a
Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company, another Subsidiary or any other Person.



Section 10.05.Release of a Subsidiary Guarantee.



The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will terminate:



(1) in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of
the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of any Subsidiary



68



---

Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event of a sale or
other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or the Person acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
such Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;



(2) upon the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or



(3) upon the defeasance or discharge of the Notes in
accordance with the terms of Articles 8 and 11 of this Indenture.



Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary
Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.



Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

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 shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, 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 cash and securities remain 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 cash and securities then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

the Ratings Reset Date occurs, and otherwise until maturity, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Initial Rate and (y) 1.00%. If the Rating Reset Date occurs, the Notes will bear interest from and after the Rating Reset Date through
maturity at a rate per annum equal to the Reset Rate. For purposes of this Notes, the Initial Rate means 5.688%. The Ratings Reset Date means the first date after (i) the Company has submitted to
Moodys and S&P audited financial statements for a completed fiscal year, including an unqualified report from its independent public accountants and (ii) the Company has met with and made a ratings presentation to Moodys and S&P
for the purpose of receiving a rating on the Notes and (iii) each of Moodys and S&P has published a rating for the Notes as a result of such ratings presentation. The Reset Rate means the rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to the nearest one-thousand (.001) of 1.000%) that is equal to the Initial Rate, plus or minus, as the case may be, the applicable percentage as determined by reference to the following table:



|                                         |  |

; provided, further, if the Company fails to obtain a rating from Moodys and S&P by the date
two years from the Issue Date, the Initial Rate plus 1.00% shall be increased by an additional 1.00% from and after such date until the Ratings Reset Date, or, if none occurs, until maturity.



If the Companys ratings satisfy the requirements of more than one row
in the foregoing table, the Applicable Percentage shall be that percentage which results in the lowest Reset Rate.



Within three Business Days after the Ratings Reset Date, if any, the Company shall publicly announce, by means of a press release, (i) that the Ratings
Reset Date has occurred (and shall provide the calendar date of such Ratings Reset Date), (ii) the interest rate on the Notes that will be in effect from and after the Ratings Reset Date and (iii) the amount of accrued interest that will be payable
on each $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to the period from the immediately prior Interest Payment Date to the Ratings Reset Date.



The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each an Interest Payment Date). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided, however, that if
there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding
Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 1, 2004. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1.0% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest
in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.



2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the
Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders at the close of business on the April 15 or October 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest
Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register; provided, however, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such
payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.



3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.



4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 20, 2004 (Indenture) among the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§
77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Company unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

(a) At any time and from time to time during the twelve-month period commencing on May 1 of the years indicated below, the
Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date):



|                    |  |            |  
|------------------- |  | ---------- | -
|Year                |  | Percentage |

|2007                |  | 101.422    | %
|2008 and thereafter |  | 100.000    | %



(b) At any time prior
to May 1, 2006, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater of



(i) 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed; and



(ii) the sum of the present
values of (A) the redemption price of the Notes at May 1, 2006 (as set forth above) and (B) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date to May 1, 2006 but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date,
discounted to the redemption date at the Treasury Rate (determined on the second Business Day immediately preceding the date of redemption) plus 22.9 basis points;



plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).



Any notice to the Holders of Notes of a redemption pursuant to this clause (b) shall include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price itself. The actual redemption
price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officers Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.



(c) At any time and from time to time prior to May 1, 2007, the Company may redeem up to 35.0% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) equal to 106.688% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company or the direct or indirect parent of the Company (to the
extent, in the case of the direct or indirect parent, that the net cash proceeds of the Equity Offerings are contributed to the common or non-redeemable preferred equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that after giving effect to any
such redemption, at least 65.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes initially issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after giving effect to such redemption.
Any such redemption shall be made within 75 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice.



(d) Any prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.07 of the Indenture.



6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Section 4.14
and Section 4.21 of the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.



7. Repurchase at Option of Holder.



(a) If the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates any Asset Sales, the Company may, upon the terms of the Indenture, be required,
commence an offer for Notes pursuant to the Indenture by applying



A-5



---

the Excess Proceeds (an Asset Sale Offer) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the Notes at an offer price in cash equal to
100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, all as more fully set forth in the Indenture.



(b) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall, within 30
days of a change of control, make an offer (a Change of Control Offer), pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture, to all Holders to repurchase all or any portion (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000) of such Holders Notes at a purchase price, in cash, equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the Purchase Date.



Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an
Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Notes.



8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption
shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.



9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 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 need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection or register the transfer of or exchange a Note between a Regular Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.



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



11.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes, voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (except
a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes (except for certain covenants and provisions of the Indenture that cannot
be amended without the consent of each Holder) may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to add Subsidiary Guarantors or additional obligors with respect
to the Notes, to secure the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company, to make any change that does not
materially and adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to make any change to comply with any requirement of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.

12. Defaults and Remedies. Each of the following is an Event of Default under the
Indenture: (i) failure to make the payment of any interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for a period of 30 days; (ii) failure to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, any of
the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise; (iii) failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.14, 4.21 or 5.01 of the
Indenture; (iv) failure to comply with any other covenant or agreement in the Notes or in the Indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the foregoing clause (i), (ii) or (iii)) and such failure continues for 60 days after written notice
is given to the Company; (v) a default under any Debt by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that results in acceleration of the maturity of such Debt, or failure to pay any such Debt at Stated Maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than
$100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time and such acceleration has not been rescinded within 60 days after the date of such acceleration; (vi) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess
of $100.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent at the time) in excess of amounts which the Companys insurance carriers have agreed to pay under applicable policies that shall be rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
that is a Significant Subsidiary and that shall not be waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect; (vii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary
Guaranty is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or
disaffirms such Subsidiary Guarantors obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty; and (viii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or any of Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.



If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes
shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate 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 notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or
interest) 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 on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a
statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.



13. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain
limitations, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.



14. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees
or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.



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

assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).



17. 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. Requests may be made to:



18.
Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE
LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
