INDENTURE dated as of November 10, 2017 (this “Indenture”), between ENTEGRIS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), the Guarantors party hereto and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee (as defined below).
RECITALS OF THE ISSUER
The Issuer has duly authorized the creation of an issue of 4.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 issued on the date hereof (the “Initial Notes”) and, to provide therefor, the Issuer and the Guarantors have duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture.
All things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered hereunder and duly issued by the Issuer, the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and to make this Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with their and its terms, have been done.
Each of the parties hereto is entering into this Indenture for the benefit of the other parties and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined below) of (i) the Initial Notes and (ii) any Additional Notes (as defined herein) that may be issued from time to time under this Indenture. 
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders, as follows:
ARTICLE 1 
 
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS 
OF GENERAL APPLICATION
SECTION 101.    Rules of Construction.
(a)    For all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:
(1)    the terms defined in this Article or the Appendix have the meanings assigned to them in this Article or the Appendix and words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular;
(2)    all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP (as herein defined);
(3)    the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision;
(4)    all references to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Appendices shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Appendices to, this Indenture;
(5)    “or” is not exclusive;
(6)    “including” means including without limitation; 


-1-







(7)    all references to the date the Notes were originally issued shall refer to the Issue Date; and
(8)    any reference to interest on, or in respect of, any Note in this Indenture shall be deemed to include Additional Interest if, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to Section 503; any express mention of Additional Interest in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions of this Indenture where such express mention is not made.
(b)    When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case for any purpose in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such basket or ratio and of any Default may, at the option of the Issuer, be the date the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into. Any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof and the granting, creation, incurrence or suffering to exist of any Lien) as if they had been consummated at the beginning of the applicable period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Acquisition; provided, however, that if the Issuer elects to make such determination as of the date of such definitive agreement(s), then (i) if any of such ratios are no longer complied with or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in EBITDA or other financial result or metric of the Issuer or the target company) or basket subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios or baskets will not be deemed to have been breached or exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted under this Indenture and (ii) such ratios or baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided further, however, that if the Issuer elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement(s), any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof and the granting, creation, incurrence or suffering to exist of any Lien) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreement(s) is entered into and shall be deemed outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any ratios or baskets under this Indenture after the date of such definitive agreement(s) and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, unless such definitive agreement(s) is terminated or such Limited Condition Acquisition or incurrence of Indebtedness or such other transaction to which pro forma effect is being given is abandoned or with respect to which the Issuer has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such transaction will not occur.
SECTION 102.    Definitions.
“ABL Credit and Guaranty Agreement” has the meaning specified in the definition of “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”.
“ABL Revolving Credit Facility” means the revolving credit facility contained in the ABL Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2014 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder (the “ABL Credit and Guaranty Agreement”) and any other facility or financing arrangement that renews, refunds, refinances or replaces, in whole or in part, any such revolving credit facility.
“Act”, when used with respect to any Holder, has the meaning specified in Section 105.


-2-







“Additional Escrow Amount” means an amount equal to (a) all interest that could accrue on any Future Escrow Debt from and including the date of issuance thereof to and including the date of any potential mandatory redemption to occur if the proceeds of such Future Escrow Debt are not released from the applicable Future Escrow Account, plus (b) the amount of any original issue discount on such Future Escrow Debt, plus (c) all fees and expenses that are incurred in connection with the issuance of such Future Escrow Debt and all fees, expenses or other amounts payable in connection with any redemption of such Future Escrow Debt.
“Additional Interest” has the meaning specified in Section 503.
“Additional Notes” means any Notes issued by the Issuer pursuant to Section 313.
“Adjusted Net Assets” has the meaning specified in Section 1205.
“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control”, as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings.
“Agent” means any Note Registrar, Transfer Agent, co-registrar, Notes Custodian, Paying Agent or other agent appointed in accordance with this Indenture to perform any function that this Indenture authorized such agent to perform.
“Aggregate Net Availability Debt” means, as of any date of determination, the sum of the following (in each case without duplication): (a) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries incurred pursuant to clause (10) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”; plus (b) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Subsidiary Debt incurred after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 1011(a)(12); provided that, any such Subsidiary Debt will be excluded from this clause (b) to the extent that such Subsidiary Debt (or the related Indebtedness) is included in clause (a) or (c) of this definition; plus (c) the then existing Attributable Debt of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 1012(c); provided that any such Attributable Debt will be excluded from this clause (c) to the extent of Indebtedness relating thereto is included in clause (a) or (b) of this definition; provided, further, in no event will the amount of any Indebtedness (including Guarantees of such Indebtedness) be required to be included in the calculation of Aggregate Net Availability Debt more than once despite the fact that more than one Person is obligated with respect to such Indebtedness and despite the fact that such Indebtedness is secured by the assets of more than one Person (for example, in the case where more than one Subsidiary has Guaranteed or otherwise become liable for such Indebtedness or in the case where there are Liens on assets of one or more of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries securing such Indebtedness or one or more Guarantees thereof, the amount of Indebtedness so Guaranteed or secured shall only be included once in the calculation of Aggregate Net Availability Debt); minus (d) the aggregate amount of cash and Company Cash Equivalents of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries (other than any Future Escrow Subsidiary) as of such date (but disregarding the proceeds of Indebtedness that is incurred on such date).
For purposes of calculating the amount of “Aggregate Net Availability Debt” for purposes of clause (10) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, Section 1011(a)(12) and Section 1012(c), the Issuer may elect, pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness which is to be incurred or secured by such Lien, as the case may be, 


-3-







as being incurred as of the applicable date of determination and any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment that was so treated shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of additional Indebtedness or an additional Lien at such subsequent time; provided further, however, that such committed amount shall be treated as outstanding Indebtedness (whether or not outstanding) for each subsequent calculation of the “Aggregate Net Availability Debt” hereunder for so long as such Indebtedness is so designated. In addition, (i) any Future Escrow Debt shall be deemed to not constitute Aggregate Net Availability Debt and (ii) any Permitted Revolving Indebtedness shall be deemed to not constitute Aggregate Net Availability Debt.
“Appendix” has the meaning specified in Section 201.
“Applicable Measurement Period” in effect at any time means the Issuer’s most recently ended four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the applicable date of determination for which internal financial statements are available (as determined in good faith by the Issuer).
For purposes of calculating the “Aggregate Net Availability Debt” test contemplated by clause (10) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, Section 1011(a)(12) and Section 1012(c), Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations that have been made by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer during the Applicable Measurement Period or subsequent to such Applicable Measurement Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the applicable date of determination shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and  consolidations (and the change in any associated Aggregate Net Availability Debt and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the Applicable Measurement Period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary of the Issuer or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the applicable amount shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such Applicable Measurement Period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the Applicable Measurement Period.
“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any Redemption Date, the greater of: 
(1)    1.00% of the then outstanding principal amount of such Note; and
(2)    the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the Redemption Price (such Redemption Price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 1101) of such Note at November 10, 2020, plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Note through November 10, 2020 (excluding accrued interest to the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the then-outstanding principal amount of such Note.
Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.
“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any payment, tender, redemption, transfer or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the Depository that apply to such payment, tender, redemption, transfer or exchange.


-4-







“Attributable Debt” means, with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of (a) the sale price of the property so leased multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction and the denominator of which is the base term of such lease, and (b) the total obligation (discounted to the present value at the implicit interest factor, determined in accordance with GAAP, included in the rental payments) of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Sale and Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation”.
“Authenticating Agent” has the meaning specified in Section 612.
“Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, or any similar United States federal or state law and the law of any other jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or relief of debtors or any amendment to, succession to or change in any such law.
“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d‐5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only after the passage of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning.
“Board of Directors” means:
(1)    with respect to a corporation, the board of directors of the corporation or any committee thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of such board;
(2)    with respect to a partnership, the board of directors of the general partner of the partnership;
(3)    with respect to a limited liability company, the managing member or members or any controlling committee of managing members thereof; and
(4)    with respect to any other Person, the board or committee of such Person serving a similar function.
“Board Resolution” means with respect to the Issuer, a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any committee of such Board of Directors.
“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which the Trustee or banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.
“Capital Lease Obligation” means, at the time any determination is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a capital lease that would at that time be required to be capitalized and reflected as a liability on a balance sheet (excluding the footnotes thereto) prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due under such 


-5-







lease prior to the first date upon which such lease may be prepaid by the lessee without payment of a penalty.

Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture (including any covenant compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent) relating to the proposed action have been complied with and, other than in connection with the addition of a new Guarantor or parent guarantor, an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than pursuant to Section 1008(a)) shall include:
(1)    a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;
(2)    a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;
(3)    a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and
(4)    a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
SECTION 104.    Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.  In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 105.    Acts of Holders.
(a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b)    The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.  Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c)    The principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d)    If the Issuer shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Issuer may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so.  Such record date shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Issuer or any Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
SECTION 106.    Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Issuer, any Guarantor and Agent.  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,


-29-







(1)    the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing via facsimile, email in PDF format or mailed, first class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to or with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, or
(2)    the Issuer or any Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or delivered in writing via facsimile, or email in PDF or mailed, first class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the Issuer or such Guarantor addressed to Entegris, Inc., 129 Concord Road, Billerica, Massachusetts, 01821, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer or such Guarantor.
A copy of all notices to any Agent shall be sent to the Trustee at the address show above. Any Person may change its address by giving notice of such change as set forth herein.
SECTION 107.    Notice to Holders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Issuer or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and delivered electronically or mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.  Notices given by publication shall be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made; notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, shall be deemed given five calendar days after mailing; notices sent by overnight delivery service will be deemed given when delivered; and notices given electronically shall be deemed given when sent. Any notices required to be given to the holders of Notes that are in global form will be given to the Depository pursuant to Applicable Procedures.
The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.
In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall 


-30-







be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes.  The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, each Agent and any other Person shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a Holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depository or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with Applicable Procedures.
SECTION 108.    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 109.    Successors and Assigns.  All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the Notes will bind its successors.  All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture will bind its successors.  All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture will bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 1208 hereof.
SECTION 110.    Severability Clause.  In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 111.    Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Agent, Paying Agent, any Note Registrar and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 112.    Governing Law.  This Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE NOTES.
SECTION 113.    Legal Holidays.  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided, however, that no interest shall accrue for purposes of such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.
SECTION 114.    No Personal Liability of Directors, Managers, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.  No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any 


-31-







obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
SECTION 115.    Concerning the TIA.  Except with respect to specific provisions of the TIA expressly referenced in the provisions of this Indenture, the TIA shall not be applicable to, and shall not govern, this Indenture and the Notes;
SECTION 116.    Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.  The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes.  Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
SECTION 117.    USA PATRIOT Act.  The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account.  The Issuer agrees that it will provide the Trustee with information about the Issuer as the Trustee may reasonably request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 118.    Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE ISSUER, ANY GUARANTOR AND THE TRUSTEE AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, THEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR HEREBY.
SECTION 119.    Force Majeure.  In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, or other unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in Appendix I attached hereto (the “Appendix”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture.  The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, 


-32-







agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any, or usage (provided, however, that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer).  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The terms of the Note set forth in the Appendix are part of the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 202.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.  The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by at least one Officer.  The signature of any Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.
Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.
On the Issue Date, the Issuer shall deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000,000 executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, specifying the principal amount and registered holder of each Note and directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes and deliver the same to the persons named in such Issuer Order and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Initial Notes.  At any time and from time to time after the Issue Date, the Issuer may deliver Additional Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and in connection with any Automatic Exchange pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(vii) in the Appendix, the Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Additional Notes, or Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note in connection with such Automatic Exchange, specifying the principal amount of and registered holder of each Note, directing the Trustee to authenticate the Additional Notes, or Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note in connection with such Automatic Exchange and deliver the same to the persons in such Issuer Order and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes, or Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note in connection with such Automatic Exchange.  In each case, the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer that it may reasonably require in connection with such authentication of Notes.  Such Issuer Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such Notes are authenticated.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
In case the Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article Eight of this Indenture, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or such Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as 


-33-







aforesaid, shall have executed a supplemental indenture hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight of this Indenture, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Issuer Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange.  If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time Outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an affiliate of the Issuer.
ARTICLE 3     
 
THE NOTES
SECTION 301.    Title and Terms.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and issued under this Indenture is not limited; provided, however, that any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture are issued in accordance with Sections 202 and 313 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
The Notes shall be known and designated as the “4.625% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026” of the Issuer.  The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be February 10, 2026, and the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 4.625% per annum from the Issue Date, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable on February 15, 2018 and semiannually thereafter on February 15 and August 15 in each year and at said Stated Maturity, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for and to the Person in whose name the Note (or any Predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day (each, a “Regular Record Date”).
The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the offices or agencies of the Issuer set forth in Section 302, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register; provided, however, that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to Notes represented by one or more permanent Global Notes registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depository.


-34-







Holders shall have the right to require the Issuer to purchase their Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a Change of Control Repurchase Event pursuant to Section 1013.  
The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven.
The due and punctual payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes payable by the Issuer is fully and unconditionally Guaranteed, to the extent set forth herein, by each of the Guarantors.
SECTION 302.    Note Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent.  The Issuer shall maintain one or more Paying Agents for the Notes in the continental United States. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent.
The Issuer shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of Redemption Price or other amounts payable on the Notes.  The Issuer will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders.  The Issuer will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Issuer’s calculations to any Holder of the Notes upon the written request of such Holder.
The Issuer will also maintain one or more registrars (each, a “Note Registrar”) with offices in the continental United States.  The Issuer will also maintain a transfer agent (each, a “Transfer Agent”) in the continental United States. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Note Registrar and Transfer Agent. The Note Registrar and the Transfer Agent shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”). The Note Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.  At all reasonable times, the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Issuer may change the Paying Agents, the Note Registrars or the Transfer Agents without prior notice to the Holders.  The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Note Registrar” includes any co-registrars.
If any Notes are listed on an exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will satisfy any requirement of such exchange as to paying agents, registrars and transfer agents and will comply with any notice requirements required under such exchange in connection with any change of Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.
The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Note 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 Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent.  If the Issuer fails to maintain a Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 607.  The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent or Note Registrar. 
The Issuer acknowledges that neither the Trustee nor any Agent makes any representations as to the interpretation or characterization of the transactions herein undertaken for tax or any other purpose, in any jurisdiction. 


-35-







SECTION 303.    Denominations.  The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
SECTION 304.    Temporary Notes.  Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
SECTION 305.    Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.  Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by written instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The transferor of any Note shall also provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. Neither the Note Registrar nor the Issuer will be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes, fees or 


-36-







other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 202, 304, 906, 1013 or 1108 not involving any transfer.
SECTION 306.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.  If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity to save each of them harmless from any claim, loss, cost or liability resulting from such lost or stolen Note, then, in the absence of written notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code) (a “Protected Purchaser”), the Issuer shall execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and each Guarantor, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
SECTION 307.    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
(a)    Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that, subject to Section 301 hereof, each installment of interest may at the Issuer’s option be paid by mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such Person as it appears in the Note Register; provided, however, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, all Notes in global form and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer and the Paying Agent at least ten days in advance of the applicable payment date.
(b)    Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and

interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1)    the Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.  Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Issuer  shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 107, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2); or
(2)    the Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
(c)    Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.
SECTION 308.    Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to the due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 309.    Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.  The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.  If the Issuer shall so acquire any of 


-38-







the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.
SECTION 310.    Computation of Interest.  Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
SECTION 311.    Transfer and Exchange.  The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer.  When a Note is presented to the Note Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Note Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met.  When Notes are presented to the Note Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Note Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.
SECTION 312.    CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers.  The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) in addition to serial numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in addition to serial numbers in notices of redemption, repurchase or other notices to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase or other notice and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or repurchase or other notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Notes.
SECTION 313.    Issuance of Additional Notes.  The Issuer may issue additional Notes having identical terms and conditions to the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date (the “Additional Notes”).  The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, however, that Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP, if any, as Initial Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with Initial Notes for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

(1)    either,
(A)    all Notes that have been authenticated (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as 


-39-







provided in Section 306 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(B)    all such Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
(i)    have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 1105 or otherwise, or
(ii)    will become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise within one year, 
and the Issuer or any Guarantor, in the case of (i) or (ii) above, (x) has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium on, if any and interest, if any, on, the Notes to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and (y) solely in the case in which Government Securities are being deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the foregoing clause (x), deliver to the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm stating that such amounts deposited are sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date;
(2)    in respect of clause (1)(B), no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);
(3)    the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture;
(4)    the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes at the Stated Maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and
(5)    the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied.


-40-







Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Issuer to any Authenticating Agent under Section 612 and, if money or Government Securities shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.
SECTION 402.    Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money or Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money or Government Securities has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 401 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 401; provided, however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 5     
 
REMEDIES
SECTION 501.    Events of Default.  “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(1)    a default in the payment of interest on the Notes when due, that continues for 30 days;
(2)    a default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption, upon required purchase or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;
(3)    the failure by the Issuer to comply with any of the provisions described under Article Eight hereof;
(4)    the failure by the Issuer for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Issuer by the Trustee, or by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to the Issuer and the Trustee, to comply with the provisions under Section 1013 (other than a failure to purchase the Notes);
(5)    the failure by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 


-41-







Outstanding Notes to the Issuer and the Trustee to comply with any of the agreements in this Indenture (other than those failures referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) above);
(6)    a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that Default:
(A)    is caused by a failure to make principal payments (including a payment at final maturity) aggregating in excess of $75.0 million on any such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or
(B)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express stated maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more at one time outstanding;
(7)    the failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $75.0 million (net of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable insurance companies), which final judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of more than 60 days after the applicable judgment becomes final, and, with respect to any such judgments covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;
(8)    except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together as of the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Issuer, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, other than by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and
(9)    any of the following events with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary:
(A)    the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(i)    commences a voluntary case;

SECTION 502.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a)    If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(9) above with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.00% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders).
(b)    Upon the effectiveness of a declaration under Section 502(a), such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 501(9) with respect to the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all Outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
(c)    If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certification in connection with another Default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action. Any Default for the failure to comply with the provisions under Section 1009 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 1009 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.
(d)    Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may (i) at any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and 


-43-







before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, so long as such rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid and (ii) waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Outstanding Note held by a non-consenting Holder which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration); provided, however, that no such rescission or waiver shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(e)    Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose,
(1)    the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, or
(2)    the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or
(3)    if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured or is no longer continuing.
SECTION 503.    Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture or in the Notes, in the event of the Issuer’s failure to comply with its obligations under Section 1009: (a) the sole remedy of the Holders and the Trustee after the occurrence of any such failure shall, for the first 180 days following the occurrence of such failure, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“Additional Interest”) with respect to the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes, which Additional Interest shall accrue from and including the date on which such failure first occurred to the 180th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such failure shall have been cured or waived); (b) during such 180 day period, any such failure shall be deemed to not be an Event of Default; and (c) on the 181st day after such failure (if such failure shall not have been cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such failure will then constitute an Event of Default without any further notice or lapse of time and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 502. If Additional Interest is payable on the Notes, the Issuer shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee on or before the Regular Record Date for each Interest Payment Date such Additional Interest is payable setting forth the accrual period and the amount of such Additional Interest payable. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate relating to Additional Interest to any holder upon request. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any Additional Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of any Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of any Additional Interest. If the Issuer shall have paid Additional Interest directly to the persons entitled to it, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.


-44-







SECTION 504.    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.  The Issuer covenants that if:
(1)    default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(2)    default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, 
the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture and the Note Guarantees by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor.
SECTION 505.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor including any Guarantor, upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(1)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(2)    to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;


-45-







and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.  The Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ committee or other similar committee.  
SECTION 506.    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
SECTION 507.    Application of Money Collected.  Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default any money or property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s or Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) under Section 607;
SECOND:  To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and
THIRD:  The balance, if any, to the Issuer or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct in writing; provided, however, that all sums due and owing to the Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 507.


-46-







SECTION 508.    Limitation on Suits.  Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder of a Note shall pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, unless:
(1)    such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2)    Holders of at least 25.00% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)    such Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5)    during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request,
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Note Guarantees to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Note Guarantees, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being further understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
SECTION 509.    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein (including, if applicable, Article Eleven) and in such Note of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 510.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Note Guarantees and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, any Guarantor, any other obligor of the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 511.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent 


-47-







permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 512.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
SECTION 513.    Control by Holders.  The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that:
(1)    such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and such Holders have complied with Section 603(6),
(2)    the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
(3)    the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting (it being further understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unjustly prejudicial to such Holders).
SECTION 514.    Waiver of Past Defaults.  Subject to Sections 509 and 902, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder (except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any such Note held by a non-consenting Holder, or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or in any Note Guarantee which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, which shall require the consent of all such Holders) and rescind any acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Notes; provided, however, such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 515.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or 


-48-

SECTION 516.    Undertaking for Costs.  
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 516 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder relating to right to payment hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

-53-







publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, State, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor Trustee.  If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(c)    The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer.  If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(d)    The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that, there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.
(e)    If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.  If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(f)    The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the Holders in the manner provided for in Section 107.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.


-54-







SECTION 610.    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
(a)    Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.  Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
(b)    No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
SECTION 611.    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.  In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.  In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee.  In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that, the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 612.    Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint one or more agents (each an “Authenticating Agent”) with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, in the manner provided for in Section 107.  Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Issuer.  Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer. 
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially 


-55-







all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided, however, such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in Section 107.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such compensation for its services under this Section as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and such Authenticating Agent.
If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:
This is one of the Notes designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.
WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

-61-







SECTION 1002.    Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Issuer will maintain in the continental United States an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be such office or agency of the Issuer in continental United States, unless the Issuer shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes.  The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of such office or agency.  If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
The Issuer 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 any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in continental United States.  The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
SECTION 1003.    Money for Notes Payments to Be Held in Trust.  If the Issuer shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes in accordance with Section 1001, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such action or any failure so to act.
Each Paying Agent agrees:
(1)    that it will hold all sums received by it as Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders or of the Trustee;
(2)    that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer to make any payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes and any other payments to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and
(3)    that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee forthwith upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in clause (2) above.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee 


-62-







upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as Trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
SECTION 1004.    Organizational Existence.  Subject to Article Eight, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational existence and its organizational rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Such certificate need not include a reference to any non-compliance that has been fully cured prior to the date as of which such certificate speaks.
(b)    When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event, notice or other action within ten Business Days of any Officer becoming aware of such occurrence.
SECTION 1002.    Reports and Other Information.
(a)    Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be required to be or remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will file with the SEC (unless such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act or by the SEC), so long as any Notes are Outstanding, the annual reports, information, documents and other reports that the Issuer is required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or would be so required to file if the Issuer were so subject.


-63-







(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing; provided, however, in such case, the Issuer shall provide such information to the Trustee and the Holders, prospective investors that certify they are qualified institutional buyers, securities analysts and market makers (“Permitted Parties”) by the date the Issuer would be required to file such information pursuant to the preceding paragraph. The requirements set forth in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph may be satisfied by delivering such information electronically to the Trustee and posting copies of such information on a website (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuer or a third party) to which Permitted Parties are given access and to which such information is posted. 
(c)    For so long as the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its judgment as to what is prudent at the time, to participate in quarterly and annual conference calls to discuss results of operations with Permitted Parties. The Issuer shall issue a press release which will provide the date and time of any such call and will direct Permitted Parties to contact the investor relations office of the Issuer to obtain access to the conference call.
(d)    At any time when the Issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall use its reasonable efforts to participate in quarterly and annual private conference calls to discuss results of operations with Permitted Parties within 15 business days after the date on which quarterly and annual, as the case may be, reports are required to be furnished under this Indenture. The Issuer shall employ commercially reasonably means expected to reach Permitted Parties no fewer than three business days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held to announce the time and date of such conference call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing Permitted Parties to contact the appropriate person at the Issuer to obtain such information.
(e)    At any time when the Issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will furnish to Holders and to prospective investors, upon the requests of such Holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Indenture, if the Issuer has filed with the SEC the reports described in the preceding paragraphs (including via the EDGAR system or any successor electronic filing system), the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with clauses (a), (b) and (e) above.
(g)    Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, our compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or EDGAR or website under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls.
SECTION 1003.    Limitation on Liens.  The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur or assume any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Principal Property to secure Indebtedness of the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any other Person, 


-64-







without securing the Notes equally and ratably with or, at the option of the Issuer, prior to, such other Indebtedness for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured. Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes under this Section 1010 shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes under this Section 1010. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to any Subsidiary that constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary for so long as it constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary.
SECTION 1004.    Limitation on Subsidiary Debt.  
(a)    The Issuer will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Excluded Subsidiary for so long as it constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary) to create, assume, incur, Guarantee or otherwise become liable for or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (any such Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Issuer, “Subsidiary Debt”), without, within 60 days of creating, assuming, incurring, Guaranteeing or otherwise becoming liable for or suffering to exist such Subsidiary Debt, entering into a supplemental indenture pursuant to which it agrees to provide a Note Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, a Subsidiary of the Issuer will not be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to the foregoing restriction or otherwise as a result of such Subsidiary creating, assuming, incurring, Guaranteeing or otherwise becoming liable for or suffering to exist any Subsidiary Debt described in clauses (1) through (12) below:
(1)    Indebtedness of a Person existing at the time it is merged, combined or amalgamated with or into or consolidated with or into any such Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets of such Person (or a division thereof) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any such Subsidiary and is assumed by such Subsidiary; provided that such Indebtedness was not incurred in contemplation thereof and is not Guaranteed by any other such Subsidiary (other than any Guarantee existing at the time of such merger, consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition of properties and assets and that was not issued in contemplation thereof);
(2)    Indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that any such Indebtedness was not incurred in contemplation thereof;
(3)    Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer;
(4)    Indebtedness (including Capital Lease Obligations), Disqualified Stock and preferred stock incurred or issued by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, to finance the purchase, lease, construction, installation, development, repair, replacement or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or useful in a similar business, including through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets, and all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock incurred pursuant to this clause (4); provided, however, that such Indebtedness exists at the date of such purchase, lease, construction, installation, repair, replacement or improvement or is created within 270 days of the completion thereof;
(5)    Indebtedness or Guarantees in respect of netting services, business credit card programs, overdraft protection and other treasury, depository and cash management services or incurred in connection with any automated clearing-house transfers of funds or other fund transfer or payment processing services;


-65-

(b)    Any such Subsidiary also may, without Guaranteeing the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, extend, renew, replace, refinance or refund any Subsidiary Debt permitted pursuant to Section 1011(a); provided that any Subsidiary Debt incurred to so extend, renew, replace, refinance or refund shall be incurred within 360 days of the maturity, retirement or other repayment or prepayment of the Subsidiary Debt being extended, renewed, replaced, refinanced or refunded and the principal amount of the Subsidiary Debt incurred to so extend, renew, replace, refinance or refund shall not exceed the principal amount of Subsidiary Debt being extended, renewed, replaced, refinanced or refunded plus any premium or fee (including tender premiums) or other reasonable amounts payable, plus the amount of fees, expenses and other costs incurred, in connection with any such extension, renewal, replacement, refinancing or refunding.
(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1011, (i) any other obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have incurred such Indebtedness under this Section 1011 under clauses (a)(1) through (a)(12) above) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness; (ii) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Subsidiary Debt described in clauses (a)(1) through (a)(12) above, the Issuer will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such categories; and (iii) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 1011.
(d)    For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. dollar equivalent determined on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a currency agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal of, premium on, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such currency agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Indebtedness being refinanced, except to the extent that (1) such U.S. dollar equivalent was determined based on a currency agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (2) the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the U.S. dollar equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such refinancing Indebtedness is incurred. The maximum amount of Indebtedness that any Subsidiary of the Issuer may incur pursuant to this Section 1011 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.


-67-







(e)    The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(1)    the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
(2)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(3)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(A)    the fair market value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(B)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.
SECTION 1001.    Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
(a)    The Issuer will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement with any other Person pursuant to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries leases any Principal Property that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Issuer or the Subsidiary to such other Person (a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”).
(b)    The following Sale and Leaseback Transactions are not subject to the limitation above or the restrictions set forth in Section 1010:

(4)    leases of property executed by the time of, or within 270 days after the latest of, the acquisition, the completion of construction, development, expansion or improvement, or the commencement of commercial operation, of the subject property.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction that would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the first paragraph above, if after giving effect thereto and at the date of determination, Aggregate Net Availability Debt does not exceed the greatest of (a) $685.0 million, (b) 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets

SECTION 1002.    Change of Control Repurchase Event.
(a)    If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer at such time has given notice of redemption pursuant to Article Four or Eleven with respect to all the Outstanding Notes and all conditions to such redemption have been either satisfied or waived, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer to repurchase on the terms described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Issuer at such time has given notice of redemption pursuant to Article Four or Eleven with respect to all of the Outstanding Notes, the Issuer will mail by first class mail or overnight mail, with a copy to the Trustee sent in the same manner, to each Holder (such mailing to be sent to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of the Depository) and to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or otherwise sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), and such notice shall include the following information:
(1)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;
(2)    if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control Repurchase Event and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as the Change of Control Repurchase Event shall occur, or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuer shall determine that such condition will not be satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and
(3)    the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 1013, that a Holder must follow.
(b)    The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 1013, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1013 by virtue of such compliance, and the foregoing procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.
(c)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful,


-69-







(1)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,
(2)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn and
(3)    deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.
(d)    In the event that the Issuer makes a Change of Control Payment, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
(e)    The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, or (2) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Article Four or Article Eleven at any time prior to 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless and until there is a Default in the payment of the applicable redemption price.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of such Change of Control Offer.
SECTION 1003.    Escrow Fundings.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture or the Notes, nothing contained in this Indenture shall restrict or prohibit (a) the formation of a Future Escrow Subsidiary, (b) the holding of any Future Escrow Funds in any Future Escrow Account and the granting or existence of any Liens on any Future Escrow Account, the Future Escrow Funds or any Future Escrow Debt Document or pursuant to any Future Escrow Account Document, in each case, in favor of the applicable Future Escrow Agent (or its designee), (c) any transactions by and among the Issuer or one or more of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Future Escrow Subsidiary, on the other hand, in connection with transactions contemplated by any Future Escrow Debt Documents and (d) any Investment in a Future Escrow Subsidiary (it being understood that for so long as the applicable Future Escrow Funds remain in the Future Escrow Account and are solely the obligation of the Future Escrow Subsidiary, any such Future Escrow Debt shall not constitute Indebtedness and shall be disregarded when determining the amount of Aggregate Net Availability Debt).

REDEMPTION OF NOTES


-70-







SECTION 1101.    Right of Redemption.  At any time prior to November 10, 2020, the Issuer may at its option on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as set forth in Section 1105, at a Redemption Price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to such Redemption Date). In connection with any such redemption, the Issuer will notify the Trustee of the Applicable Premium promptly after the calculation has been determined.
On and after November 10, 2020, the Issuer may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on any one or more occasions, upon notice as set forth in Section 1105, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date, if such Redemption Date for the Notes being redeemed occurs during the twelve-month period beginning on November 10 of each of the years indicated below, subject to the right of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to such Redemption Date:

	102.313%

	2022

	2023 and thereafter
	100.000%




In addition, at any time prior to November 10, 2020, the Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as set forth in Section 1105, on one or more occasions redeem up to 40.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) at a Redemption Price equal to 104.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to such Redemption Date, with an amount of cash equal to the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering by the Issuer; provided, however, that at least 60.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (calculated after giving effect to any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date and excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further, however, that each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of such Equity Offering.
SECTION 1102.    [Reserved]
SECTION 1103.    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  If the Issuer elects to redeem some or all of the Notes pursuant to Section 1101, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at or prior to the date notice of such redemption is required to be given to Holders, an Officer’s Certificate stating (i) the clause of Section 1101 of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known), (v) that such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Issuer, and (vi) that such redemption complies, or will comply, with any applicable covenants or conditions precedent set forth in this Indenture. Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given to the Trustee by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s 


-71-







request and provision of the notice to be given containing such notice information five Business Days (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) prior to the date notice is to be given to the Holders, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Any redemption may be cancelled by the Issuer upon written notice to the Trustee at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void. If the Redemption Price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described in the terms of the Notes, will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.  
SECTION 1104.    Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes issued in global form, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depository) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.
No Notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be delivered by electronic submission (for Notes held in book-entry form) or first class mail, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or sent more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. If any Note is to redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be redeemed. 
If any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall issue a new Note (or cause to be transferred by book entry) in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.  Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions.  On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption (unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the applicable redemption payment).
SECTION 1105.    Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 107 not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder to be redeemed.
All notices of redemption shall identify the Notes and state:
(1)    the Redemption Date,
(2)    the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known) and the amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1107, if any,
(3)    if less than all Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed,
(4)    in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the 


-72-







Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,
(5)    that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1107) will become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and that, if the redemption occurs, interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,
(6)    any condition precedent to the redemption; 
(7)    the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,
(8)    the name and address of the Paying Agent,
(9)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price,
(10)    the CUSIP, ISIN or “Common Code” number and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes, and
(11)    the clause of Section 1101 and/or the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed.
Any redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which shall be set forth in the related notice of redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering, other offering or other transaction or event.  In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.  
If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee). Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the Notes shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
The Issuer or its Affiliates may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 1106.    Deposit of Redemption Price.  No later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.


-73-







SECTION 1107.    Notes Payable on Redemption Date.  Notice of redemption having been given to the Holders in accordance with Section 1105, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event, at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, the Redemption Price for such Note , together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, shall be paid by the Issuer and such Notes shall be canceled by the Trustee; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.
If the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event.
SECTION 1108.    Notes Redeemed in Part.  Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (or transfer by book entry) to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

GUARANTEES
SECTION 1201.    Note Guarantees.  Subject to this Article Twelve, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally Guarantees, on a senior basis, the Notes and Obligations of the Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and Guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee for itself and on behalf of such Holder, that: (1) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, to the limitation set forth in Section 1204 hereof.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any 


-74-







Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Note Guarantee.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Note Guarantee is a Guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due and not of collection.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer or any other Guarantor.  Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the Maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee on the other hand, (1) subject to this Article Twelve, the Maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations Guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligation as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.
Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.


-75-







SECTION 1202.    Severability.  In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to the extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 1203.    Additional Guarantors.  The Issuer shall cause any Subsidiary required to Guarantee payment of the Notes pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 1011 to execute and deliver to the Trustee any amendment pursuant to Section 901(7) or supplement to this Indenture (in the case of such supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A) in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine of this Indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall Guarantee all of the obligations on the Notes, whether for principal, premium, if any, interest (including interest accruing after the filing of, or which would have accrued but for the filing of, a petition by or against the Issuer under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim after such filing in any proceeding under such law) and other amounts due in connection therewith (including any fees, expenses and indemnities), on an unsecured senior basis.  Upon the execution of any such amendment or supplement, the obligations of the Guarantors and any such Subsidiary under their respective Note Guarantees shall become joint and several and each reference to the “Guarantor” in this Indenture shall, subject to Section 1208, be deemed to refer to all Guarantors, including such Subsidiary.  Such Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 803 and Section 1208.
SECTION 1204.    Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability.  Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by each such Guarantor pursuant to its Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor 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 Note Guarantee or pursuant to this Section 1204, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 1205.    Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under a Note Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.  “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of (1) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding liabilities under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor at such date and (2) the amount by which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.
SECTION 1206.    Subrogation.  Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of 


-76-







Section 1201; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 1207.    Reinstatement.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Note Guarantee provided for in Section 1201 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Issuer upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer or any Guarantor.
SECTION 1208.    Release of a Guarantor.  Any Note Guarantee by a Guarantor of the Notes shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:
(1)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer;
(2)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result of the sale or other disposition;
(3)    upon the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor;
(4)    the exercise of the Legal Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1302 hereof, or the Covenant Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1303 hereof, or if the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 401 of this Indenture;
(5)    in the case of a Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Guarantor has become an Excluded Subsidiary; or
(6)    upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee by such Subsidiary of such Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary, or the repayment of all the Indebtedness, in each case, that resulted in an obligation to provide a Note Guarantee (including, the release, discharge or repayment of all outstanding amounts under the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Revolving Credit Facility with respect to any Guarantor that provided a Note Guarantee as of the Issue Date).
SECTION 1209.    Benefits Acknowledged.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and from its Guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantees under this Article Twelve.

SECTION 1210.    Effectiveness of Note Guarantees. 
This Indenture and the Note Guarantees shall be effective upon its execution and delivery by the parties hereto. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Article XII shall be effective notwithstanding the absence of an endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.

The Issuer may, at its option, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen.
SECTION 1302.    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1302, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1305 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (1) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, from the trust described in Section 1305, (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 303, 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the obligations of each of the Guarantors and the Issuer in connection therewith.  Subject to compliance with this Section 1302, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1303 with respect to the Notes.
SECTION 1303.    Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1303, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be released from its respective obligations under Sections 801, 802 and 1004 and Sections 1009 through and including 1013 with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder.  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 501, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

Before such a deposit, the Issuer may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 1103 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all of the Outstanding Notes at a future date in accordance with Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable.  Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing;
(2)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee confirming that,
(A)    the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
(B)    since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee confirming that, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit 


-79-







(and any similar and concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);
(5)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound;
(6)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and
(7)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.
SECTION 1305.    Deposited Money and Government Securities To Be Held in Trust Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all cash and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1305, the “Qualifying Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of the Outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Qualifying Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Qualifying Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Qualifying Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.
Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Qualifying Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer Request any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 1304 which are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article; provided that, solely in a case involving Government Securities, such determination shall be accompanied by an opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Qualifying Trustee to the effect that such amounts are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.
SECTION 1306.    Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 1305 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Outstanding Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303, 


-80-







as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 1305; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in this Indenture) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if applicable).
The Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are collectively referred to herein as “Global Notes”.  The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided.
(b)    Book-Entry Provisions.  This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.
The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. The Issuer has entered into a letter of representations with the Depository in the form provided by the Depository and the Trustee and each Agent is hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures. 
Members of, or participants in the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.
(c)    Definitive Notes.  Except as provided in this Section 2.1, 2.3 or 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes.
(d)    Certain Authorizations. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b) hereof, the registered Holder of a Global Note shall be entitled to grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated.

2.3    Transfer and Exchange.
(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes.  When Definitive Notes are presented to the Note Registrar with a request:
(x)    to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or
(y)    to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,
the Note Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:
(i)    shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and
(ii)    if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted notes legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:
(A)    if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Note Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or
(B)    if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect; or
(C)    if such Definitive Notes are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) and (ii) if the Issuer so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d)(i).
(b)    Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note.  A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

(i)    certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note; and

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures of the Depository and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled.  If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.
(c)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
(i)    The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor.  A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Note Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note.  The Note Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.
(ii)    If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.
(iii)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except 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.
(iv)    In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for a Definitive Note pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 


-5-









144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.
(v)    During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in Regulation S Global Notes may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to the Issuer, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S (other than a transaction resulting in an exchange for an interest in a Regulation S Global Note) or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States.
(vi)    In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.4, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.
(vii)    Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Notes are no longer Transfer Restricted Notes and the legends in Section 2.3(e) below shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Global Note may, at the Issuer’s option, be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in a Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (A) with respect to the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, the Issue Date or (B) with respect to Additional Notes, if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Notes are no longer Transfer Restricted Notes and the legend in Section 2.3(d) below shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuer may (i) provide written notice to the Trustee at least 10 calendar days prior to any Automatic Exchange, instructing the Trustee to direct the Depository to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Transfer Restricted Note that is a Global Note to a Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note, which the Issuer shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the Depository, (ii) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least 10 calendar days prior to any Automatic Exchange (an “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur, (y) the “CUSIP” number of the Transfer Restricted Note from which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred and (z) the “CUSIP” number of the Global Note that is not a Transfer Restricted Note into which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred, and (iii) on or prior to the date of the Automatic Exchange, deliver to the Trustee for authentication one or more Global Notes that are not Transfer Restricted Notes, duly executed by the Issuer, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Notes to be exchanged. At the Issuer’s request on no less than five calendar days’ notice, the Trustee shall deliver, in the Issuer’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3(c)(vii), during the 10 day period between the Automatic Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(vii) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Issuer.  As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Issuer shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officer’s Certificate reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that such Automatic Exchange shall be

Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Issuer may pay interest on the Notes by mailing a check for such interest to a Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Note Register).

Name:________________________

Taxpayer ID Number:____________
The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:
1.    We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act.  We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business.  We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.
2.    We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence.  We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any 











predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (i) to the Issuer, (ii) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (iii) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iv) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (v) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000, or (vi) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.  The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.  If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (v) 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 Issuer 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 Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (iv), (v) or (vi) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee.
