accordance with clause (iii)(c) of such Section 4.13(a).




          “Average Life to Stated Maturity” means, with respect to any Indebtedness, as at any date of
determination, the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the products of (a) the number of
years (or any fraction thereof) from such date to the date or dates of each successive scheduled
principal payment (including, without limitation, any sinking fund requirements) of such
Indebtedness multiplied by (b) the amount of each such principal payment by (ii) the sum of all

aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee. Transfers of Initial Notes between QIBs and IAIs

          The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one Officer of the Company and the
Guarantees shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantors by one Officer of each of the Guarantors.



-19-









 





          Such signature may be either manual or facsimile. The Company’s seal may be impressed,
affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Notes and may be in facsimile form.




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




          A Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication
pertaining to the Note. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been
authenticated under this Indenture.




          The Trustee or an authenticating agent shall authenticate (i) Initial Notes for original issue
in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $400,000,000, (ii) Additional Notes in an unlimited
principal amount (so long as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including, without
limitation, Section 4.10) and (iii) Exchange Notes (x) in exchange for a like principal amount of
Initial Notes or (y) in exchange for a like principal amount of Additional Notes, in each case upon
a Company Request. With respect to a Company Request for authentication pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the first such written order from the Company shall
be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.




          The Company Request directing the authentication and delivery of Notes shall specify whether
such Notes shall be issued in the form of Notes or Global Notes. Such Company Request shall
specify the amount, series and CUSIP of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the
original issue of the Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or
Exchange Notes. If the Company Request specifies that the Notes are to be issued in the form of
one or more Global Notes, then the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors will execute the
Guarantees endorsed thereon) and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and such
Company Request, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Notes that:





     (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of such Depository,




     (b) shall, at the instruction of the Initial Purchasers, be delivered by the Trustee to
the Depository or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository, and




     (c) shall include and bear a legend substantially to the effect that unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes, such Global Notes may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the
Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or
any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.



          The Depository must, at the time of its designation and at all times when it serves as
Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute
or regulation.




          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.
Any appointment shall be evidenced by instrument signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, a
copy of which shall be furnished
to the Company. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same right as an Agent to deal with
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.




Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.




          The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan,
City of New York,



-20-









 






State of New York where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and
an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company or any Guarantor in respect of
the Notes, Guarantees and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one
or more additional paying agents. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as
Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to
any Noteholder.




          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying
Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address
of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or agent for
service of notices and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as
such. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service
of notices and demands in connection with the Notes and the office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan for purposes of this Section 2.03 and 4.09 shall initially be:



The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

101 Barclay St.

New York, NY 10286




Section 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust.




          The Trustee as Paying Agent shall, and the Company shall require each Paying Agent other than
the Trustee to agree in writing that, subject to Articles 10 and 11, each Paying Agent shall hold
in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it
by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall
notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in
making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all
assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any
time during the continuance of any payment default with respect to the Notes, upon written request
to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and
to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall
have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further
liability for such assets.




Section 2.05. Noteholder Lists.




          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee as of each record date and on or before each
related Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a
list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
addresses of Noteholders.




Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.




          Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06, when a Note is presented to the Registrar with
a request to register the transfer thereof, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested
if the requirements of applicable law are met and, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange
them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall
make the exchange as requested. To permit transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06, the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors will
execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the
Registrar’s request.




-21-









 








          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.06, unless and until it is exchanged in
whole or in part for Notes, a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or
another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.




          If (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depository
or ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor Depository
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing or
becomes aware of the same or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
promptly will execute (and the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and deliver
to the Trustee Notes, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and
delivery of such Notes (which the Company will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee), will
authenticate and deliver Notes, without charge, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes, in exchange for and upon surrender of all such
Global Notes.




          In any exchange provided for in the preceding paragraph, the Company will execute (and the
Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and the Trustee will authenticate and
deliver Notes in the authorized denominations provided by Section 2.01.




          Upon the exchange of a Global Note for Notes, such Global Note shall be canceled by the
Trustee. Definitive Notes issued in exchange for Global Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall
be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.




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




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




          Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company may require payment
by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant
to Section 2.09, 3.06, 4.13, 4.19 or 8.05 hereof. The Trustee shall not be required to register
transfers of Notes or to exchange Notes for a period of 15 days before selection of any Notes to be
redeemed. The Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register transfers of any Notes called
or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part.




Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.




          If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note presents evidence
to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee that the Note has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if
the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond or other security or indemnity may be
required by the Company and/or the Trustee that is sufficient
in the judgment of the Company and/or the Trustee to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss (however remote) which any of them may suffer if a
Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in
replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Note is an
additional obligation of the Company.




-22-











 





Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.




          Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as
not outstanding.




          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for
replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Company and the Trustee receive proof
satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated
Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to
Section 2.07.




          If a Paying Agent holds on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on Notes payable on that date and is not
prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture,
then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue.




          Subject to Section 12.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding solely because the Company
or an Affiliate holds the Note.




Section 2.09. Temporary Notes.




          Until Global Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry
all rights, of Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
Global Notes in exchange for temporary Notes presented to it.




Section 2.10. Cancellation.




          The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange
or payment. At the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else,
shall cancel and at the written request of the Company, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for
transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. If the Company or any Guarantor shall acquire any of
the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness
represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation
pursuant to this Section 2.10.




Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest.




          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted
amounts, plus any interest payable on defaulted amounts pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, to the
persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth
day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next
succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Noteholder, with a copy to the
Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date, and the amount of
defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.




Section 2.12. Deposit of Moneys.




          Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity
Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money
sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity
Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the
Holders on such Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date, as the case may be.







-23-









 








Section 2.13. CUSIP Number.




          The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and if so, the Trustee
shall use the CUSIP number(s) in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders,
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number(s) printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.




Section 2.14. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.




          (a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository for such
Global Note or the nominee of such Depository and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for
such Depository.




          Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the
Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depository may 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 Trustee or the Company from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depository or shall impair, as between the Depository and its Agent
Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of
any Note.




          (b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but
not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of
beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures
of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.15. If required to do so pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Notes in exchange for their beneficial
interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with the Depository’s and the
Registrar’s procedures.




          (c) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.14 to beneficial owners identified by the Depository
who are required to hold Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of
the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute (and
the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon), and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, one or more Notes of like tenor and amount.




          (d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section 2.14, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver (and the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon), to each beneficial owner
identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal
aggregate principal amount of Notes of authorized denominations.




          (e) Any definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
subsection (c) or subsection (d) of this Section 2.14 shall, except as otherwise provided by
paragraph (d) of Section 2.15, bear the Private Placement Legend.




          (f) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take
any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

     (e) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each
Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in
this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such
Note only as provided in this Indenture.



          The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.14 or this Section 2.15. The Company shall have the right to

ARTICLE 3




REDEMPTION



Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.




          If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed at
least 30 days (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) but not more than 60
days before the Redemption Date. Any such notice may be canceled in writing at any time prior to
notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.




Section 3.02. Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed.




          If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
redeemed pro rata, or by any other method that the Trustee considers fair and equitable and, if
such Notes are listed on any securities exchange, by a method that complies with the requirements
of such exchange; provided, however, that if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an
Equity Offering, selection of Notes for redemption shall be made on a pro rata basis, unless such
method is otherwise prohibited.




          The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for
redemption and shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. Notes in denominations of $2,000 or less may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may
select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) of the principal
amount of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.




Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.




          At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail,
or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the
Registrar pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof.




          The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number(s) thereof, if
any) and shall state:





     (1) the Redemption Date;




     (2) the redemption price;




     (3) if any Note is being redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of
such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon cancellation of such
Note, a new Note



-27-









 







or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name
of the Holder of such Note;




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




     (5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price;




     (6) that, unless (a) the Company defaults in making the redemption payment or (b) such
redemption payment is prohibited pursuant to Article 10 or 11 hereof or otherwise, interest
on the Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and
the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the
redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed;




     (7) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are
being redeemed; and




     (8) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the
particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding
after such partial redemption.



          At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense.




Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.




          Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is mailed, Notes called for redemption
become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, plus interest, if any,
accrued to (but not including) the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent,
such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest, if any, to (but not
including) the Redemption Date unless prohibited by Article 10 or 11, provided that if the
Redemption Date is after a regular interest payment record date and on or prior to the next
Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes
registered on the relevant record date.




Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.




          On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the
Trustee for cancellation.




          On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with
the preceding paragraph and the Company and the Paying Agent are not prohibited from paying such
moneys to Holders, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right
of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to
the proviso in Section 3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date. If
any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption
Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest
not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate and in the manner provided in the
Notes.

which would prohibit or forgive the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, from paying all
or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on the Notes as contemplated

description of the event and what action each is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.




          (b) So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.02
above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm (who shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the
examination necessary for certification of such financial statements nothing has come to their
attention which would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of this
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 for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

Holder seeks to exercise any remedy hereunder with respect to a claimed Default under this
Indenture or the Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate

Section 4.05. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.




          The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (including withholding taxes
and any penalties, interest and additions to taxes) levied or imposed upon it or any of its
Subsidiaries or properties of it or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of it or any
of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge
or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim if the amount,
applicability or validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
an adequate reserve has been established therefor to the extent required by GAAP.

repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in its judgment may
be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times unless the failure to so maintain such properties (together
with all other such failures) would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition






-30-









 







or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 4.06 shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any of them,
if such discontinuance or disposal is in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company or the Subsidiary concerned, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.




          (b) The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself and each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds
that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company are adequate and appropriate for the
conduct of the business of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries in a prudent manner, with
reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of America or an agency or
instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and by such methods as shall be
customary, in the good faith judgment of the Company, for corporations similarly situated in the
industry, unless the failure to provide such insurance (together with all other such failures)
would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.




Section 4.07. Compliance with Laws.




          The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable

and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental department, commission, board, regulatory
authority, bureau, agency and instrumentality of the foregoing, in respect of the conduct of its
businesses and the ownership of its properties, except for such noncompliances as would not in the
aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.




Section 4.08. Corporate Existence.




          Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company 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 Restricted Subsidiary, in accordance with the respective
organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company and of each
Restricted Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not 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 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 that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders.




Section 4.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency.




          The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment 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 address of the Trustee as set forth in
Section 12.02.




          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.







-31-









 








          The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.




          The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee set forth in
Section 12.02 as such office of the Company.




Section 4.10. Limitation on Additional Indebtedness and Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.




          The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted
Indebtedness and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Preferred Stock, unless (a)
after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the issuance of any such Preferred
Stock and the receipt and application of the proceeds thereof, the Company’s Leverage Ratio is less
than 7.0 to 1 and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time or as a consequence of the incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Preferred
Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Preferred Stock may only be issued by a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent such Restricted
Subsidiary is a Guarantor.




          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of
proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted
Indebtedness, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first sentence above, the Company or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to classify on the date of its incurrence,
or later reclassify, all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with
this covenant. Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference
to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision
and in part by another one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such Indebtedness.
Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the accretion of
accreted value shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this
covenant.




Section 4.11. Limitation on Restricted Payments.




          The Company will not make, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, make, any Restricted Payment, unless:





     (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
or immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment;




     (b) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company
could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under
Section 4.10; and




     (c) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate of all
Restricted Payments declared or made after the Existing Notes Issue Date does not exceed the
sum of (without duplication):




     (1) 100% of the Company’s Cumulative EBITDA minus 1.4 times the Company’s
Cumulative Consolidated Interest Expense; plus




     (2) 100% of the aggregate Net Proceeds and the fair market value of securities
or other property received by the Company, after January 1, 2001, from (a) the issue
or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock or Capital Stock of
the Company issued to any Subsidiary of the Company) of the Company or any
Indebtedness or other securities of the Company convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the
Company which has been so converted or exercised or exchanged, as the case may be,
(b) any capital contribution to the Company from Parent (except as contemplated by

clause (vi) of the following paragraph), and (c) any loans made to the Company
by Parent prior to the Existing Notes Issue Date upon the cancellation of such loans
by Parent; plus




     (3) the net reductions in Investments (other than reductions in Permitted
Investments) in any Person resulting from payments of interest on Indebtedness,
dividends, repayments of loans, partial or total releases or discharges of
Guaranteed Permitted Unrestricted Subsidiary Obligations, or from designations of
Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, valued in each case at the
fair market value thereof, not to exceed the amount of Investments previously made
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Person; plus




     (4) the aggregate balance of the Mirror Loan Indebtedness cancelled or
terminated prior to the Issue Date.



          For purposes of determining under this clause (c) the amount expended for Restricted Payments,
cash distributed shall be valued at the face amount thereof and property other than cash shall be
valued at its fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably
and in good faith.




          The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall not prohibit:





     (i) the payment of any distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration
thereof, if at such date of declaration such payment would comply with the provisions of
this Indenture; provided, however, that in calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted
Payments for purposes of Section 4.11(c), such amounts declared shall be included in the
calculation but such amounts expended shall be excluded from the calculation;




     (ii) the retirement of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company or Indebtedness of
the Company which is subordinated or pari passu in right of payment to the Notes by
conversion into, or by or in exchange for, shares of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified
Capital Stock), or out of the Net Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than
to a Subsidiary of the Company) of other shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than
Disqualified Capital Stock); provided, however, that the amount of any such Net Proceeds
that are utilized for any such retirement shall be excluded from clause (c)(2) of this
Section 4.11, provided further, however, that in calculating the aggregate amount of
Restricted Payments for purposes of Section 4.11(c), amounts expended pursuant to this
clause (ii) shall be excluded from the calculation;

or pari passu in right of payment to the Notes in exchange for, by conversion into, or out

being understood that a redemption or retirement or irrevocable deposit for redemption or
retirement of Indebtedness within 45 days of such sale or incurrence shall be deemed
“substantially concurrent”) of the Company (other than any Indebtedness owed to a Subsidiary
of the Company) that is, with respect to any such subordinated Indebtedness, contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes to at least the same extent as the
subordinated Indebtedness being redeemed or retired, with respect to any such pari passu
Indebtedness, pari passu or subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and, with respect
to any such subordinated or pari passu Indebtedness, (x) has a Stated Maturity no earlier
than the 91st day after the Maturity Date or the final maturity date of the Indebtedness
being redeemed or retired, whichever is earlier and (y) has an Average Life to Stated
Maturity equal to or greater than the remaining Average Life to Stated Maturity of the
Indebtedness being redeemed or retired; provided, however, that the amount of any such Net
Proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption or retirement shall be excluded from
clause (c)(2) of this Section 4.11, provided further, however, that in calculating the
aggregate amount of Restricted Payments for purposes of Section 4.11(c) amounts expended
pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be excluded from the calculation;



-33-









 






     (iv) the funding of loans (but not including the forgiveness of any such loan) to
executive officers, directors and shareholders for relocation loans, bonus advances and
other purposes consistent with past practices or the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition for value of shares of Capital Stock of the Parent or the Company (other than
Disqualified Capital Stock) or options on such shares held by the Parent’s or the Company’s

such current or former officers or employees pursuant to the terms of an employee benefit
plan or any other agreement pursuant to which such shares of Capital Stock or options were
issued or pursuant to a severance, buy-sell or right of first refusal agreement with such
current or former officer or employee; provided that the aggregate amount of any such loans
funded and cash consideration paid, or distributions made, pursuant to this clause (iv) do
not in any one fiscal year exceed $7 million; provided further, however, that in calculating
the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments for purposes of Section 4.11(c), amounts
expended pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be excluded from the calculation;




     (v) the making of Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and joint ventures in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million since the Issue Date; provided, however, that the
Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries may make additional Investments pursuant to this
clause (v) up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $20 million if the Company is able, at
the time of any such Investment and immediately after giving effect thereto, to incur at
least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) in compliance
with Section 4.10; provided further, however, that in calculating the aggregate amount of
Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date for purposes of Section 4.11(c),
amounts expended pursuant to this clause (v) shall be included in the calculation;




     (vi) distributions by the Company to Parent to permit Parent to pay obligations
actually incurred by Parent in respect of the payment of operating expenses of the Company
or the Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed 5% of
the total operating expenses of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP and Tax Payments permitted by Section
4.14(b)(v); provided, however, that in calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted

Section 4.12. Limitation on Other Senior Subordinated Debt.




          The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, incur, contingently or otherwise, any Indebtedness that is both (i) subordinate in
right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as the case
may be, and (ii) senior in right of payment to the Notes or any of the Guarantees, as the case may
be.




Section 4.13. Limitation on Certain Asset Sales.




          (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to,

market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and
evidenced by a Board Resolution);



-34-









 






     (ii) not less than 75% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Temporary Cash Investments or
Replacement Assets; provided, however, that the amount of (x) any liabilities of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiaries that are assumed by the transferee of such assets and for
which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are released, including any such
Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary whose stock is purchased by the transferee and (y)
any notes or other securities received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary
which are converted into cash within 180 days after such Asset Sale (to the extent of cash
received) shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and




     (iii) the Asset Sale Proceeds received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary are
applied:




     (a) first, to the extent the Company elects, or is required, to permanently
prepay, repay or purchase existing Senior Indebtedness (or Purchase Money
Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes solely to the
extent that such Asset Sale involves property or assets securing such Purchase Money
Indebtedness pursuant to a Lien granted pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens”) within 360 days following the receipt of the Asset Sale Proceeds
from any Asset Sale; provided, however, that any such repayment shall result in a
permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder in an amount equal to the
principal amount so repaid;




     (b) second, to the extent of the balance of Asset Sale Proceeds after
application as described above, to the extent the Company elects, to an investment
in assets (including Capital Stock or other securities purchased in connection with
the acquisition of Capital Stock or property of another Person that is, or becomes,
a Subsidiary of the Company or that would constitute a Permitted Investment under
clause (v) of the definition thereof) used or useful in businesses similar or
ancillary to the business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as
conducted at the time of such Asset Sale (collectively, “Replacement Assets”),
provided, however, that such investment occurs and such Asset Sale Proceeds are so
applied within 360 days following the receipt of such Asset Sale Proceeds (the
“Reinvestment Date”); and




     (c) third, if on the Reinvestment Date with respect to any Asset Sale, the
Available Asset Sale Proceeds exceed $25 million, the Company shall apply an amount
equal to such Available Asset Sale Proceeds to an offer to repurchase the Notes, at
a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”);
provided, however, that the Company may, at the time that it makes any such Excess
Proceeds Offer, also offer to purchase, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the purchase date, any Indebtedness which ranks pari passu in right of payment with
the Notes (a “Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer”) and to the extent the Company so
elects to make a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, Notes and such pari passu
Indebtedness shall be purchased pursuant to such Excess Proceeds Offer and Pari
Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, respectively, on a pro rata basis based on the
aggregate principal amount of such Notes and pari passu Indebtedness then
outstanding. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered
pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the Available Asset Sale Proceeds,
the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of
pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer is
less than such pari passu Indebtedness’s pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale
Proceeds, the Company shall use such remaining Available Asset Sale Proceeds to
purchase any Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Excess
Proceeds Offer. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Available Asset Sale Proceeds or to the
extent the Company elects to make a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, exceeds the
Notes’ pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale



-35-









 







Proceeds, then Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Available Asset Sale
Proceeds shall be reset to zero.



          (b) If the Company is required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Company shall mail,
within 30 days following the Reinvestment Date, a notice to the Holders with a copy to the Trustee
which shall include, among other things, the instructions, determined by the Company, that each
such Holder must follow in order to have such Notes repurchased and the calculations used in
determining the amount of Available Asset Sale Proceeds to be applied to the repurchase of such
Notes. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Excess Proceeds Offer, shall also state:





     (1) that the Excess Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that
the Excess Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its
commencement or such longer period as may be required by law (the “Offer Period”);




     (2) that such Holders have the right to require the Company to apply the Available
Asset Sale Proceeds to repurchase such Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase;




     (3) the purchase price and the purchase date (the “Purchase Date”) which shall be no
earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed;




     (4) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue
interest;




     (5) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer shall
cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date;




     (6) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Excess Proceeds
Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Company, a depository, if
appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least
three Business Days before the Purchase Date;




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




     (8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal
in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered;




     (9) whether the Company is also making a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer and to the
extent the Company is also making such a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and such pari passu Indebtedness which may be purchased by the
Company on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such pari
passu Indebtedness then outstanding (including any calculations with respect thereto); and




     (10) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds
the Available Asset Sale Proceeds or to the extent the Company elects to make a Pari Passu
Excess Proceeds Offer, the Notes’ pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale Proceeds, the
Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as
may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 thereof, shall be purchased).



-36-









 





          On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment,
on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the
Excess Proceeds Offer, deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay the
purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, on the Notes to be purchased and deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for
payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.13. The Paying Agent shall
promptly (but in any case not later than three Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or
deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Note tendered by such
Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail or make available for delivery such new Note to such
Holder equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not
so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The
Company will publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer on the Purchase Date.




Section 4.14. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.




          (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions with
any Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transaction”) or extend, renew, waive or otherwise modify the terms of
any Affiliate Transaction entered into prior to the Issue Date unless the terms of such Affiliate
Transaction are fair and reasonable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, or the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are at least as favorable as the terms which could
be obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable
transaction made on an arm’s-length basis between unaffiliated parties. In any Affiliate
Transaction involving an amount or having a value in excess of $5 million, the Company must obtain
a Board Resolution approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company
(and a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company) certifying
that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.14. In any Affiliate Transaction with
a value in excess of $20 million, the Company must obtain a written opinion that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with this Section 4.14 from an independent investment banking firm of
nationally recognized standing.




          (b) The foregoing provisions will not apply to:





     (i) any Restricted Payment that is not prohibited by Section 4.11 (other than those
described in clause (v) of the second paragraph thereunder);




     (ii) any transaction between the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
between Restricted Subsidiaries;




     (iii) the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees to directors of the Company
who are not employees of the Company and any employment and consulting agreements entered
into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with their executives or consultants in the
ordinary course of business;




     (iv) any transaction with a joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an
Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity
interest in or otherwise controls such joint venture or similar entity; provided that no
Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary shall have a beneficial interest in such joint venture or similar entity;




     (v) for so long as the Company is a member of a group filing a consolidated or combined
tax return with Parent, payments to Parent in respect of (A) an allocable portion of the tax
liabilities of such group that is attributable to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taking
into account any carryovers and carrybacks of tax attributes (such as net operating losses)
of the Company and such Subsidiaries from other taxable years and (B) any cancellation of
debt income in connection with any refinancing of Indebtedness



-37-









 







of Parent (collectively, “Tax Payments”); provided that any Tax Payments received from
the Company shall be paid over to the appropriate taxing authority within 30 days of
Parent’s receipt of such Tax Payments or refunded to the Company; or




     (vi) any employment, indemnification, severance or other agreement or transactions
relating to employee benefits or benefit plans with any employee, consultant or director of
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is entered into by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.



Section 4.15. Limitation on Liens.




          The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur
or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Liens of any kind (other than
Permitted Liens) to secure Indebtedness upon any Property, assets, income or profits of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary or any shares of stock or debt of any Restricted Subsidiary (whether
or not any of the foregoing is now owned or hereafter acquired), unless:





     (i) if such Lien secures Indebtedness which is pari passu in right of payment with the
Notes, then the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so
secured until such time as such obligation is no longer secured by a Lien; or




     (ii) if such Lien secures Indebtedness which is subordinated in right of payment to the
Notes, any such Lien shall be subordinated to the Lien granted to the Holders of the Notes
in the same collateral as that securing such Lien to the same extent as such subordinated
Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes.



Section 4.16. Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.




          The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or
restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:





     (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary on its Capital Stock;




     (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;




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




     (d) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary;




     (e) grant Liens on or security interests on the assets of the Company or the Restricted
Subsidiaries in favor of the Holders of the Notes; or




     (f) guarantee the Notes or any renewals or refinancings thereof,


in each case, except for Permitted Dividend Encumbrances.




Section 4.17. Limitation on Guarantees of Certain Indebtedness.




          The Company will not permit any of the:





     (A) domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Guarantors) to: (i) incur,
guarantee or secure through the granting of Liens the payment of any Indebtedness of the
Company or any other Restricted



-38-









 







Subsidiary); or (ii) pledge any intercompany notes representing obligations of any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries to secure the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company, or




     (B) Restricted Subsidiaries that are not domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to guarantee
the Senior Credit Facility,


in each case unless such Restricted Subsidiary, the Company and the Trustee execute and deliver a
supplemental indenture evidencing such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Notes pursuant to
Article 10 of this Indenture. Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all
purposes of this Indenture.




Section 4.18. Payments for Consent.




          Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to
be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of any Notes
for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of
this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to
all Holders of the Notes which so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.




Section 4.19. Change of Control.




          (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of such occurrence, the “Change of
Control Date”), the Company will notify the Holders of the Notes in writing of such occurrence and
shall make an offer to purchase (a “Change of Control Offer”), and shall purchase, on a Business
Day (a “Change of Control Purchase Date”) not more than 60 nor less than 30 days following the
Change of Control Date all of the then outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control
Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”).




          (b) Notice of a Change of Control Offer shall be sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
by the Company not later than the 30th day after the Change of Control Date to the Holders of the
Notes at their last registered addresses with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The
Change of Control Offer shall remain open from the time of mailing for at least 20 Business Days
and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Change of Control Purchase Date. The notice, which
shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, shall include such disclosures as are
required by law and shall state:





     (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.19 and
that all Notes validly tendered into the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn will be
accepted for payment;




     (ii) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest, if any) for each
Note, the Change of Control Purchase Date and the date on which the Change of Control Offer
expires;




     (iii) that any Note not tendered for payment will continue to accrue interest in
accordance with the terms thereof;




     (iv) that, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the purchase price, any
Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue
interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date;




     (v) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer
will be required to surrender their Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in
the notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Change of Control Purchase Date
and must complete any form of letter of transmittal proposed by the Company and reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent;



-39-









 






     (vi) that Holders of Notes will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying
Agent receives, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Change of Control
Purchase Date, a tested telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of
the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase, the Note
certificate number (if any) and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to
have such Notes purchased;




     (vii) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered;




     (viii) the instructions that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes; and




     (ix) information concerning the business of the Company, the most recent annual and
quarterly reports of the Company filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (or, if the
Company is not then permitted to file any such reports with the SEC, the comparable reports
prepared pursuant to Section 4.02), a description of material developments in the Company’s
business, information with respect to pro forma historical financial information after
giving effect to such Change of Control and such other information concerning the
circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Offer as would be material
to a Holder of Notes in connection with the decision of such Holder as to whether or not it
should tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.



          On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or
portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the
Paying Agent money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the purchase price of all
Notes or portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Notes so
accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Notes or portions thereof
tendered to and accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or
deliver to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and
the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each such new
Note shall be issued in an original principal amount in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 thereof. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by
the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of
Control Offer not later than the first Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date.




          In the event that a Change of Control occurs and the Holders of Notes exercise their right to
require the Company to purchase Notes, if such purchase constitutes a “tender offer” for purposes
of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act at that time, the Company will comply with the requirements of
Rule 14e-1 as then in effect with respect to such repurchase.

ARTICLE 6




DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES



Section 6.01. Events of Default.




          An “Event of Default” occurs if:





     (1) there is a default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on the
Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or
otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article 11 hereof;




     (2) there is a default in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes
due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 30 days, whether or not such
payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article 11 hereof;




     (3) the Company or any Guarantor defaults in the observance or performance of any other
covenant in the Notes or this Indenture for 45 days after written notice from the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding;



-41-









 






     (4) there is a default or are defaults under one or more agreements, instruments,
mortgages, bonds, debentures or other evidences of Indebtedness under which the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company then has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $20
million, individually or in the aggregate, and either (a) such Indebtedness is already due
and payable in full or (b) such default or defaults have resulted in the acceleration of the
maturity of such Indebtedness;




     (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment or judgments which can no
longer be appealed for the payment of money in excess of $20 million (not covered by
insurance) against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and such judgment remains
undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such
judgment shall not be in effect;




     (6) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law:




     (A) commences a voluntary case,




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




     (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or
substantially all of its property, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or




     (D) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or




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




     (A) is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an
involuntary case,




     (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or for all
or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or




     (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,


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




          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or state law for
the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.




          The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of the Notes of any Default (except in payment
of principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes) in accordance with Section 7.05.




Section 6.02. Acceleration.




          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(6) or (7))
shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional
Notes, if any) then outstanding may by written notice to the Company and the Trustee declare to be
immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration, in which case either (i) such amounts
shall become immediately due and payable; or (ii) if there are any amounts outstanding under or in
respect of the Senior Credit Facility, such amounts shall become due and payable upon the first to
occur of an acceleration under or in respect of the Senior Credit Facility or five Business Days
after receipt by the Company and the






-42-









 







agent for the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility of notice of the acceleration of the
Notes; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on
such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if (i)
all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium, if
any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived,
(ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of
interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration, has been paid and (iii) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the
Company occurs, such principal, premium, if any, and interest amount with respect to all of the
Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or the Holders of the Notes.




Section 6.03. Other Remedies.




          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedies
by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or 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. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder 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. No remedy is exclusive
of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.




Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.




          Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 8.02 hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding have the right to waive any
existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.




Section 6.05. Control by Majority.




          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if
any) then outstanding may 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 by this
Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another
Noteholder or that may involve the Trustee in personal or corporate liability; provided that the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.




Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.




          Subject to Section 6.07 below, a Noteholder may not institute any proceeding or pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:





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




     (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue
the remedy;



-43-









 






     (3) such Holder or Holders provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred in compliance with such request;




     (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of indemnity; and




     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60 day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding.



          A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to
obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.




Section 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.




          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (but in any event subject to the
provisions of Articles 10 and 11), the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of
principal of, or premium, if any, and interest of the Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of the Holder.




Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.




          If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section
6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or the Guarantors (or any other obligor on
the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together
with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate then borne by the Notes, and
such further amounts 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 may 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
Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or the Guarantors (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), any of their respective creditors or any of their respective
property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges
and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any
such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Noteholder 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 Noteholders, 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.




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







-44-









 








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 for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof;




     SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium,
if any, and interest as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and




     THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any
Guarantor, to such Guarantor.



          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders 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 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, 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 a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10%
in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding.




ARTICLE 7




TRUSTEE



Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.




          (a) If an Event of Default 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 same circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs.




          (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:





     (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no covenants or obligations whatsoever shall be implied in this Indenture
against the Trustee.




     (2) In the 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 but, 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 be under
a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture.



          (c) The Trustee shall be relieved from liability except 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 7.01.



-45-









 






     (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.




     (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.02
and 6.05 hereof.



          (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.




          (e) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Noteholders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of any series at the time outstanding relating to the time, place, and method
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of that series.




          (f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of
this Section 7.01 shall govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Trustee.




          (g) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company or any Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law.




Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee.




          Subject to Section 7.01 hereof:





     (1) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any document reasonably 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 the document.




     (2) Any request, direction, order, or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution (or an authorized board committee thereof) or a
document signed in the name of the Company by an authorized officer (unless other evidence
in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein).




     (3) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of
Section 12.05 hereof. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.




     (4) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct
or negligence of any agent appointed by it with due care.




     (5) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.




     (6) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection
from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.



-46-









 






     (7) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have provided to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby.




     (8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such
fact or matter is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee.




     (9) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may
request, and in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, rely upon an
Officer’s Certificate.




     (10) 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.



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 make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the
Company or any Guarantor, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject
to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.




Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.




          The Trustee 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 sale of Notes or
any money paid to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be
responsible for any statement or recital herein or in the Notes other than its certificate of
authentication.




Section 7.05. Notice of Default.




          If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default or the Event of Default,
as the case may be, within 30 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of
Default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee
may withhold the notice if and so long as the Board of Directors of the Trustee, the executive
committee or any trust committee of such board and/or its Responsible Officers in good faith
determine(s) that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Noteholders.




Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.




          If required by the TIA, within 60 days after May 15 of each year, commencing the May 15
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a brief report
dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with
TIA Sections 313(b) and 313(c).




          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed with the SEC,
the New York Stock Exchange and each other stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any other stock exchange
and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d).







-47-









 








Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.




          The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust.




          The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
expenses and advances incurred or made by it in connection with its duties under this Indenture,
including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel.




          The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss or
liability incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this
Indenture including without limitation the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim 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 asserted against
the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity thereunder.




          However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or
any Guarantor of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors
need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability
incurred by the Trustee through its gross negligence or bad faith. To secure the payment
obligations of the Company in this Section 7.07 and the Guarantors in Article 10, the Trustee shall
have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except
such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.




          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the Trustee’s services
are intended to constitute priority expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.




          For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed
pursuant to Article 9.




Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.




          The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing.




          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee
by notifying the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s
written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the
Trustee at its election if:




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




          (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;




          (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or




          (4) the Trustee otherwise 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 Company shall promptly notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee.




          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 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 outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.







-48-









 








          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any Noteholder 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. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall,
subject to its rights under Section 7.07 hereof, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Noteholder.




Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger or Conversion.




          If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10 hereof, the
successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.




Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.




          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections
310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of
at least $150,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The
Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the provision in Section 310(b)(1).




Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.




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




Section 7.12. Paying Agents.




          The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it
and the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.12:





     (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the
Company or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or
the Trustee;




     (2) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon
written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it
together with a full accounting thereof; and




     (3) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three (3) Business Days of any
failure of the Company (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any installment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and
payable.

ARTICLE 8




AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS




			
	Section 8.01.	 	Without Consent of Holders.





          The Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution of each of them, and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or consent of any
Noteholder:





     (1) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof;




     (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes;




     (3) to add new Guarantors pursuant to Section 10.04;




     (4) to comply with any requirements of the SEC under the TIA; or




     (5) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that
does not adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder.



          The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution
of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee
shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.





			
	Section 8.02.	 	With Consent of Holders.





          The Company, the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution of each of them, and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) without notice to any Noteholder. The Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if
any) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Noteholder. Subject to Section 8.04, without the
consent of each Noteholder affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a
waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:





     (1) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement
or waiver to this Indenture or the Notes;




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




     (3) reduce the principal of or premium on or change the Stated Maturity of any Note;




     (4) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;




     (5) change the amount or time of any payment required by the Notes or reduce the
premium payable upon any redemption of the Notes, or change the time before which no such
redemption may be made;




     (6) waive a default in the payment of the principal of, interest on, or redemption
payment with respect to, any Note;




     (7) make any changes in Sections 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or this sentence of Section 8.02;



-50-









 






     (8) amend, alter, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate
a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or make and consummate an
Excess Proceeds Offer after such obligation has arisen or waive any Default in the
performance of any such offers or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect
to any such offers; or




     (9) take any other action otherwise prohibited by this Indenture to be taken without
the consent of each holder affected thereby.



          Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Noteholders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company
and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental
indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which
case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental
indenture.




          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof.





			
	Section 8.03.	 	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.





          Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as
then in effect.





			
	Section 8.04.	 	Revocation and Effect of Consents.





          Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a
Holder of a Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every
subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer
thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on
any such Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his
Note or portion of a Note, if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective.




          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver which record
date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date
is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent
to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not
such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or
effective for more than 90 days after such record date.




          After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, it shall bind every
Noteholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.02
hereof. In that case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder of a
Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not
impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note,
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.




-51-









 









			
	Section 8.05.	 	Notation on or Exchange of Notes.





          If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may request
the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an
appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new security that reflects the changed terms.
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 8.06.	 	Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.





          The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article
8 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities
or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or
refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to 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 such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Company or any Guarantor may not sign an amendment or supplement
until the Board of Directors of the Company or such Guarantor, as appropriate, approves it.




ARTICLE 9

if





     (1) either




     (a) there shall have been canceled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any
Notes that are asserted to have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have

     (ii) will become due and payable within one year; or

the Company or a Guarantor;




     (2) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (1)(b) of this Section 9.01,




     (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit, and such deposit
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any
other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the
Company or any Guarantor is bound;



-52-









 






     (b) the Company has delivered (i) irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under
this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at
maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, and (ii) an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent
herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture

the Notes to the date of such deposit (in case of Notes that have become due and
payable) or to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be; and




     (3) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (1)(a) or (1)(b) of this Section
9.01, the Company or any Guarantor has paid all sums payable by the Company or such
Guarantor hereunder.



          After the satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge
in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes, the
Guarantees and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified below.




          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the
Company in Sections 7.07, 9.05 and 9.06 hereof shall survive.





			
	Section 9.02.	 	Legal Defeasance.





          The Company may at its option, by Board Resolution, be discharged from its obligations with
respect to the Notes and the Guarantors discharged from their obligations under the Guarantees on
the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes and to have satisfied all
its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and
the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, subject to Section 9.06 hereof, execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely from the trust funds described in Section 9.04 hereof and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when
such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08 and 4.09 hereof, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof) and (D) this Article 9. Subject to compliance with this Article
9, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 with respect to the Notes
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 below with respect to the
Notes.





			
	Section 9.03.	 	Covenant Defeasance.





          At the option of the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Company and the Guarantors
shall be released from their respective obligations under Sections 4.02 through 4.08 and Sections
4.10 through 4.19 hereof, inclusive, and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter,
"Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company and the
Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such specified Section or portion thereof, whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such specified Section or portion
thereof or by reason of any reference in any such specified Section or portion thereof to any other

the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium,
if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.




          The Company and the Guarantors shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 9.04 hereof or the principal, premium, if any, 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 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held
by it as provided in Section 9.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect
an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.





			
	Section 9.06.	 	Reinstatement.





          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02, 9.03 or 9.04 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Article 9 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02, 9.03 or
9.04 hereof; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantors have made any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of
their obligations, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.





			
	Section 9.07.	 	Moneys Held by Paying Agent.





          In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by
any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid
to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof, to the
Company (or, if such moneys had






-55-









 







been deposited by the Guarantors, to such Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall
be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.





			
	Section 9.08.	 	Moneys Held by Trustee.





          Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company or the
Guarantors in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any
Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the
date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have
respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company (or, if appropriate, the
Guarantors) upon Company Request, or if such moneys are then held by the Company or the Guarantors
in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to
receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company
and the Guarantors for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or any
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the
Company and the Guarantors, either mail to each Noteholder affected, at the address shown in the
register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, or cause to be
published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New
York, a 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 mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance
of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or the
Guarantors or the release of any money held in trust by the Company or any Guarantors, as the case
may be, Noteholders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and the Guarantors for
payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another person.




ARTICLE 10




GUARANTEE OF NOTES




			
	Section 10.01.	 	Guarantee.





          Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, (i) the due
and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on each Note, when and
as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the
due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other Obligations
of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms of such Note and this
Indenture, and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any
of such other Obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any
such Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with
respect thereto by the Holder of such Note or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor.




          Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and
all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such
Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof, premium if any, and interest thereon and
as provided in Section 9.01 hereof. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor,
on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the
Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes
of this Guarantee,






-56-









 







notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not
due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this
Guarantee. In addition, without limiting the foregoing provisions, upon the effectiveness of an
acceleration under Article 6 hereof, the Trustee shall promptly make a demand for payment on the
Notes under the Guarantee provided for in this Article 10 and not discharged.




          The Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose with respect to a Note until the certificate of authentication on such Note shall have been
signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.





			
	Section 10.02.	 	Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.





          To evidence the Guarantee set forth in this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a
notation of such Guarantee shall be placed on each Note authenticated and made available for
delivery by the Trustee and that this Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by
the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of each Guarantor.




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




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




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





			
	Section 10.03.	 	Limitation of Guarantee.





          The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving
effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without
limitation, any guarantees of Senior Indebtedness) and after giving effect to any collections from
or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture,
result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. In making any calculation relevant
to determining such maximum amount, all Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been incurred
prior to the Issue Date.





			
	Section 10.04.	 	Additional Guarantors.





          The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause any Restricted Subsidiary which becomes
obligated to guarantee the Notes, pursuant to the terms of Section 4.17 hereof, to execute a
supplemental indenture satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee pursuant to which such
Restricted Subsidiary shall guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this
Indenture in accordance with this Article 10 with the same effect and to the same extent as if such
Person had been named herein as a Guarantor. Upon the execution of such a Supplemental Indenture,
the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be notated on each outstanding Note.
Notes delivered by the Trustee after the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Indenture
shall include the notation of the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary but the failure to
include such a notation shall not otherwise effect the validity or enforceability of such
Guarantee.

	Section 10.05.	 	Release of Guarantor.





          Upon (i) the release of all guarantees by a Guarantor of any Indebtedness of the Company and
the release of all Liens on the property and assets of such Guarantor securing such guarantees or
(ii) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, sale of stock or otherwise) of a Guarantor (or
substantially all of its assets) to an entity which is not a Subsidiary of the Company which is
otherwise in compliance with this Indenture (and providing that the guarantees and Liens referred
to in the foregoing clause (i) are also released at such time), and in each such case, the delivery
to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all such
conditions in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), as the case may be, have been complied with, such
Guarantor shall be deemed released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and its
Guarantor. In the event that a Restricted Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be obligated to be a
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions under Section 4.17, as long as no Default or Event of Default
is existing or will result therefrom, it shall be released from its obligations under this
Indenture and its Guarantee.





			
	Section 10.06.	 	Guarantee Obligations Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.





          Each Guarantor and each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes, agree that the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to the Guarantees and any other payment in respect
of the Notes by each Guarantor is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this
Article 10, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and
that these subordination provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of
the Guarantors.




          This Article 10 shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such
provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, and such
provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors, and
such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.





			
	Section 10.07.	 	No Payment on Guarantees in Certain Circumstances.





          (a) No payment (by set-off or otherwise) shall be made by or on behalf of a Guarantor on
account of its Obligations on its Guarantee (other than Junior Securities), (i) upon the maturity
of any Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or
otherwise, unless and until all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor are first paid in full in cash or (ii) in the event of default in
the payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor when it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or
by declaration or otherwise (a “Guarantor Payment Default”), unless and until such Guarantor
Payment Default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.




          (b) Upon (i) the happening of an event of default (other than a Guarantor Payment Default)
that permits the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor to declare such
Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to be due and payable and (ii) written notice of
such event of default given to such Guarantor, the Company and the Trustee by the representative of
the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor (a “Guarantor Payment
Notice”), then, unless and until such event of default has been cured or waived or otherwise has
ceased to exist, no payment (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on behalf of such Guarantor
on account of its Obligations under its Guarantee, other than payments made with Junior Securities.




          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor
in respect of which such event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety
within 179 days after the Guarantor Payment Notice is delivered as set forth above (the “Guarantor
Payment Blockage Period”) (and such declaration has not been rescinded or waived), at the end of
the Guarantor Payment Blockage Period, such Guarantor shall, unless a Guarantor Payment Default
with respect to such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor exists, resume making any and
all required payments in respect of its Obligations under its Guarantee. Any number of Guarantor
Payment Notices may be given; provided, however, that (i) not more than one Guarantor






-58-









 







Payment Notice shall be given within a period of any 360 consecutive days, and (ii) no default
that existed upon the date of such Guarantor Payment Notice if the representative of the holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor that gave such Guarantor Payment Notice knew of
such default on such date (whether or not such event of default is on the same issue of Designated
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor) shall be made the basis for the commencement of any other
Guarantor Payment Blockage Period unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of at
least 90 consecutive days.




          (d) In furtherance of the provisions of Section 10.01, in the event that, notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.07, any payment on account of a Guarantor’s Obligations on
its Guarantee (other than Junior Securities) shall be received by the Trustee at a time when such
payment is prohibited by the provisions of this Section 10.07, such payment shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, and shall be paid or
delivered by the Trustee, to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid
or to their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture
pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor may
have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid on account
of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor held or represented by each, for application to the
payment of all such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary
to pay or provide for the payment of all such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor in full in cash
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor.





			
	Section 10.08.	 	Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness of
Guarantors on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization.





          Upon any distribution of assets of a Guarantor upon any dissolution, winding up, total or
partial liquidation or reorganization of such Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary, in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any marshalling of assets or liabilities:




     (a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor will first be entitled to
receive payment in full in cash before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment on
account of such Guarantor’s Obligations on its Guarantee (other than Junior Securities);




     (b) any payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor of any kind or character
from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Junior Securities), to
which the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders would be entitled (by set-off or
otherwise), except for the provisions of this Article 10, shall be paid by the liquidating
trustee or agent or other person making such a payment or distribution directly to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor or their representative to the extent
necessary to make payment in full (or have such payment duly provided for) on all such
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor; and




     (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of
assets of such Guarantor (other than Junior Securities) shall be received by the Trustee at
a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions, such
payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee to the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid, to their representative or
representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any

provided herein, the Holders of Notes shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to receive payments or distributions of assets of such
Guarantor applicable to the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor until all amounts owing on the
Notes shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no such payments or
distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor by or on behalf of such
Guarantor, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article 10, which otherwise would
have been made to the Holders shall, as between such Guarantor and the Holders, be deemed to be
payment by such Guarantor or on account of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, it being
understood that the provisions of this Article 10 are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior

other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including

	Section 11.05.	 	Obligations of the Company Unconditional.





          Nothing contained in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is
intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the Holders, the obligation of each such

of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if
any, under this Article 11, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes, upon any
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 11, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or
decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee
or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose
of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article 11 so long as such court has been apprised of the provisions of, or the order, decree or
certificate makes reference to, the provisions of this Article 11. Nothing in this Section 11.05
shall apply to the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.





			
	Section 11.06.	 	Trustee Entitled To Assume Payments Not Prohibited in Absence of Notice.





          The Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall have received, no later than the close of business
on the Business Day prior to the date of such payment, written notice thereof from the Company or
from one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any representative therefor and, prior to
the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and
7.02, shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists.





			
	Section 11.07.	 	Application by Trustee of Assets Deposited with It.





          Amounts deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article 9 shall
be for the sole benefit of Holders of Notes and shall not be subject to the subordination
provisions of this Article 11. Otherwise, any deposit of assets with the Trustee or the Paying
Agent (whether or not in trust) for the payment of principal of or interest on any Notes shall be
subject to the provisions of Sections 11.01, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04; provided that, if prior to the
Business Day preceding the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any such assets may become
distributable for any purpose (including without limitation, the payment of either principal of or
interest on any Note) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall not have
received with respect to such assets the written notice provided for in Section 11.06, then the
Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such assets and to
apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date.





			
	Section 11.08.	 	Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts of or Omissions of the Company or Holders
of Senior Indebtedness.





          No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination
provisions contained in this Article 11 shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by
any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good
faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
The holders of Senior Indebtedness may extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior
Indebtedness or any security therefor and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise
deal freely with the Company, all without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties
to this Indenture or the Holders.




-63-









 









			
	Section 11.09.	 	Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of Notes.





          Each Holder of the Notes by his acceptance thereof authorizes and expressly directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination provisions contained in this Article 11, and appoints the Trustee his
attorney-in-fact for such purpose, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership
proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets
and liabilities of the Company), the prompt filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of his Notes
in the form required in said proceedings and causing said claim to be approved. If the Trustee
does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30
days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness or their representative are or is hereby authorized to have the right to file and are
or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of said
Notes. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior
Indebtedness or their representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Indebtedness
or their representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.





			
	Section 11.10.	 	Right of Trustee To Hold Senior Indebtedness.





          The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Article 11 in respect of
any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder.





			
	Section 11.11.	 	Article 11 Not To Prevent Events of Default.





          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes by reason of any provision of this Article 11 shall not be construed as preventing the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 or in any way limit the rights of
the Trustee or any Holder to pursue any other rights or remedies with respect to the Notes.





			
	Section 11.12.	 	No Fiduciary Duty of Trustee to Holders of Senior Indebtedness.





          The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders (other than for its willful misconduct or
gross negligence) if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of
Notes or the Company or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 11 or otherwise. Nothing in this
Section 11.12 shall affect the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the
benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
representative. In the event of any conflict between the fiduciary duty of the Trustee to the
Holders of Notes and to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee is expressly authorized to
resolve such conflict in favor of the Holders.

concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, any Guarantor or any
other obligor on the Notes or by any Affiliate of any of them shall be disregarded, except that for
the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the
pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect
to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Guarantor or any other obligor upon the
Notes or any Affiliate of any of them.





			
	Section 12.07.	 	Rules by Trustee and Agents.

WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES

Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under
the Notes, the Guarantees or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason

such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE]




LAMAR MEDIA CORP.



77/8%
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2018



1. INTEREST.




          Lamar Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing on October 15, 2010 at the rate of 77/8% per annum. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for, from April 22, 2010.




          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on overdue premium, if any, and
overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate equal to the rate of interest otherwise payable
on the Notes.




          Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be obligated to consummate an
Exchange Offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note
for notes of a separate series issued under the Indenture (or a trust indenture substantially
identical to the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement),
guaranteed by the Guarantors, which notes have been registered under the Securities Act, in like
principal amount and having substantially identical terms as the Notes. The Holders shall be
entitled to receive certain additional interest payments in the event such Exchange Offer is not
consummated and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement.




2. METHOD OF PAYMENT.




          The Company will pay interest on this Note provided for in Paragraph 1 above (except defaulted
interest) to the person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the
Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note
to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal, premium, if any,
and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts; provided, however, that so long as this Note is a Global Note such
payments will be made in immediately available funds and the Company may pay principal, premium, if
any, and interest on a Note which is not a Global Note by check payable in such money. The Company
may mail an interest check with respect to any Note that is not a Global Note to the Holder’s
registered address.




3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.




          Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national association organized
under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders of
the Notes. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent
but may act as registrar or co-registrar.



4. INDENTURE; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.




          The Company issued this Note under an Indenture dated as of April 22, 2010 (the “Indenture”)
among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This Note is
subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to the Indenture and said Trust
Indenture Act for a statement of them. All capitalized terms in this Note, unless otherwise
defined, have the meanings assigned to them by the Indenture.





A-5









 





          The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company unlimited in principal amount. The
Indenture imposes certain restrictions on, among other things, the incurrence of Indebtedness and
Liens by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, mergers and sale of assets, the payment of
dividends on, or the repurchase of, Capital Stock of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
certain other Restricted Payments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and certain
transactions with Affiliates.




5. SUBORDINATION.




          The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the
Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all
Senior Indebtedness, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each Holder of this Note,
by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and
directs the Trustee, on behalf of such Holder, to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the
Trustee attorney-in-fact of such Holder for such purpose.




6. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.




          The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on
or after April 15, 2014 at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount), together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the
redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15, of each year
listed below.




	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Percentage
	2014
	 	 	103.938	%
	2015
	 	 	101.969	%
	2016 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%






          At any time prior to April 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes
outstanding at a redemption price equal to:





          (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, together with
accrued and unpaid interest to such Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of
record of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive payments of interest on the
related Interest Payment Date), plus




          (ii) the Make Whole Amount.



          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the
original principal amount of the Notes at any time and from time to time prior to April 15, 2013 at
a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued
interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date, out of the Net Proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided, however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption and
that any such redemption occurs within 120 days following the closing of any such Equity Offering.




7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.




          Notice of redemption will be mailed via first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address
as it shall appear on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. On and after any
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption unless the Company shall fail to redeem any such Note.




A-6









 








8. OFFERS TO PURCHASE.




          The Indenture requires that certain proceeds from Asset Sales be used, subject to further
limitations contained therein, to make an offer to purchase certain amounts of Notes in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Company is also required to make an offer to
purchase Notes upon occurrence of a Change of Control in accordance with procedures set forth in
the Indenture.




9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.




          The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, a Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.
The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption or
register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes
to be redeemed or any Note after it is called for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.




10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.




          The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.




11. UNCLAIMED MONEY.




          If money for the payment of principal, premium or interest on any Note remains unclaimed for
two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written
request. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another person.




12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.




          Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be modified, amended or
supplemented by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then
outstanding and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived in a particular
instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding. Without the consent of Holders, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend
the Indenture or the Notes or supplement the Indenture for certain specified purposes including
providing for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes, and curing any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, or making any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of
any Holder.




13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.




          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may
require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.




A-7









 








14. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.




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




15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.




          A director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company or any
Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under
the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of
such obligations or their creation. The Holder of this Note by accepting this Note waives and
releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issuance of this Note.




16. DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE.




          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the entire indebtedness on this Note and
for defeasance of certain covenants in the Indenture upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture.

Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP Numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the
Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the Notes. No

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE NOTE]




LAMAR MEDIA CORP.



77/8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2018



1. INTEREST.




          Lamar Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing on October 15, 2010, at the rate of 7?% per annum. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for, from April 22, 2010.




          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on overdue premium, if any, and
overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate equal to the rate of interest otherwise payable
on the Notes.




2. METHOD OF PAYMENT.




          The Company will pay interest on this Note provided for in Paragraph 1 above (except defaulted
interest) to the person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the
Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note
to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal, premium, if any,
and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts; provided, however, that so long as this Note is a Global Note such
payments will be made in immediately available funds and the Company may pay principal, premium, if
any, and interest on a Note which is not a Global Note by check payable in such money. The Company
may mail an interest check with respect to any Note that is not a Global Note to the Holder’s
registered address.




3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.




          Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national association organized
under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders of
the Notes. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent
but may act as registrar or co-registrar.




4. INDENTURE; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.




          The Company issued this Note under an Indenture dated as of April 22, 2010 (the “Indenture”)
among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This Note is
subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to the Indenture and said Trust
Indenture Act for a statement of them. All capitalized terms in this Note, unless otherwise
defined, have the meanings assigned to them by the Indenture.




          The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company unlimited in principal amount. The
Indenture imposes certain restrictions on, among other things, the incurrence of Indebtedness and
Liens by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, mergers and sale of assets, the payment of
dividends on, or the repurchase of, Capital Stock of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
certain other Restricted Payments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and certain
transactions with Affiliates.







B-4









 








5. SUBORDINATION.




          The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the
Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all
Senior Indebtedness, and this Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each Holder of this Note,
by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and
directs the Trustee, on behalf of such Holder, to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the
Trustee attorney-in-fact of such Holder for such purpose.




6. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.




          The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on
or after April 15, 2014, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount), together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the
redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15, of each year
listed below.




	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Percentage
	2014
	 	 	103.938	%
	2015
	 	 	101.969	%
	2016 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%






          At any time prior to April 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes
outstanding at a redemption price equal to:





     (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, together with
accrued and unpaid interest to such Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of
record of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive payments of interest on the
related Interest Payment Date), plus




     (ii) the Make Whole Amount.



          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the
original principal amount of the Notes at any time and from time to time prior to April 15, 2013 at
a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued
interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date, out of the Net Proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided, however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption and
that any such redemption occurs within 120 days following the closing of any such Equity Offering.




7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.




          Notice of redemption will be mailed via first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address
as it shall appear on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. On and after any
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption unless the Company shall fail to redeem any such Note.




8. OFFERS TO PURCHASE.




          The Indenture requires that certain proceeds from Asset Sales be used, subject to further
limitations contained therein, to make an offer to purchase certain amounts of Notes in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Company is also required to make an offer to
purchase Notes upon occurrence of a Change of Control in accordance with procedures set forth in
the Indenture.







B-5









 








9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.




          The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, a Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.
The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption or
register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes
to be redeemed or any Note after it is called for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.




10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.




          The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.




11. UNCLAIMED MONEY.




          If money for the payment of principal, premium or interest on any Note remains unclaimed for
two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written
request. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another person.




12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.




          Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be modified, amended or
supplemented by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and any existing default or
compliance with any provision may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then
outstanding. Without the consent of Holders, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend
the Indenture or the Notes or supplement the Indenture for certain specified purposes including
providing for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes, and curing any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, or making any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of
any Holder.




13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.




          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may
require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.




14. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.




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







B-6









 








15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.




          As more fully described in the Indenture, a director, officer, employee or stockholder, as
such, of the Company or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Guarantor under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect or
by reason of, such obligations or their creation. The Holder of this Note by accepting this Note
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
the issuance of this Note.




16 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE.




          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the entire indebtedness on this Note and
for defeasance of certain covenants in the Indenture upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture.

Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP Numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the
Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the Notes. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as

THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK,

Lamar Media Corp.

c/o [                                        ]



Location: Corporate Trust Department



Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:




          This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[     ] principal amount of the 7?%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) of Lamar Media Corp. (the “Company”).




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




Name:  





Address:  





Taxpayer ID Number:  





          The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:






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




     2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and,
unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We
agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing
Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date which is one year
(or such longer period as is required to comply with the Securities Act) in the case of
Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A, and 40 days in the case of Notes sold in reliance on
Regulation S after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the
Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor
thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company, (b) pursuant
to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c)
for so long as the securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act that purchases for its own account or for the
account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the
United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an
institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Securities Act that is an institutional accredited investor acquiring the security
for its own account or for the account of such an institutional accredited investor, in each
case



C-1









 







in a minimum principal amount of the securities of $250,000, for investment purposes
and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation
of the Securities Act, or (f) pursuant to another available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, subject to the Company’s and the Trustee’s right prior
to any such offer, sale or transfer pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) to require the
delivery of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to
each of them. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to
be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the
transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this
letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the
transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment
purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser
acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or
other transfer prior to the Resale Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clauses (d),
(e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or
other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
