Trustee shall be entitled to rely thereon.

transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition

overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Notes. The Company shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay
the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date
fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note

in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on

REDEMPTION



SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem
Notes pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Notes and Section 3.03, it shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.



The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.01 at least
45 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, in its sole discretion, as evidenced in a writing signed on behalf of the Trustee), together with an Officers
Certificate stating the CUSIP number of the Notes being redeemed, that such redemption shall comply with the conditions contained herein and in the Notes, the Redemption Date, the redemption price and the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed.



If the Company is required to make an offer to
redeem Notes pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.14 or 4.15 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Change of Control Payment Date or Net Proceeds Payment Date (or such shorter period as may be
agreed to by the Trustee in writing, in its sole discretion), an Officers Certificate setting forth (i) the Section 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, (v) a statement to the effect that (a) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has effected an Asset Sale and the conditions set forth in Section 4.15 have been satisfied or (b) a Change of Control has

if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro
rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; provided, further,
however, that any such redemption made with the net proceeds of a Public Equity Offering shall be made on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (subject to the procedures of The
Depository Trust Company or any other depositary).



Notice of
redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
that relates to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the
original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price
pursuant to this Indenture.



SECTION 3.03. Optional
Redemption. (a) The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2009, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and

15, 2007, the Company may, at its option, use the net proceeds of a Public Equity offering to redeem up to 35% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at a redemption price in cash equal to 106.125% of the principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes is outstanding following such redemption (including any Additional Notes). Notice of any such redemption

request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Companys name and at the Companys expense. The Company shall provide such notices of redemption to the Trustee at least five days or such shorter period as shall be agreed
to by the Trustee before the intended mailing date. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note.



Each notice of redemption shall identify (including the CUSIP number) the
Notes to be redeemed and shall state:



| | (1) | the Redemption Date;
| | --- | --------------------



| | (2) | the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | the name and address of the Paying Agent;

payment date in which case interest will be paid to the registered owner;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (6) | that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes or applicable portions thereof called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest as of the Redemption Date, if any, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed;

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



No representation is made as to the accuracy of the CUSIP numbers listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

with Section 3.04, such notice of redemption shall be irrevocable and Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price plus accrued interest as of such date, if any. Upon surrender to the Trustee
or Paying Agent, such Notes called for redemption shall be paid on the Redemption Date at the redemption price plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date from deposits made in accordance with Section 3.06 hereof, but installments of
interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates referred to in the Notes. Interest shall accrue on or after the Redemption Date and
shall be payable only if the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price. If mailed in the manner set forth herein, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.



SECTION 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before 11:00 a.m. New
York City time on the Redemption Date and in accordance with Section 2.14, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Notes to be redeemed on that
date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any U.S. Legal Tender so deposited which is not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.



Unless the Company fails to comply with the preceding paragraph and defaults
in the payment of such redemption price plus accrued interest, if any, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment.



SECTION 3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is
to be redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note or Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that such transaction or transactions comply with the foregoing provisions. In addition to the foregoing, each Affiliate
Transaction involving aggregate consideration of $10.0 million or more shall be approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors; provided that, in lieu of such approval by the Disinterested Directors, the Company may obtain a written

material respect than those under or pursuant to the agreement evidencing the Indebtedness so extended, renewed, refinanced or replaced.



SECTION 4.14. Change of Control. (a) Following the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of such occurrence being the Change of Control
Date), the Company shall, within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, make an offer to purchase (a Change of Control Offer) all of the then outstanding Notes at a purchase price (the Change of Control Purchase

(iii) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest;



56



---

(iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for
payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;



(v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the

or an integral multiple thereof. The Company will notify the Trustee and the Holders of the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.



Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor the Trustee may waive the
provisions of this Section 4.14 relating to the Companys obligation to make a Change of Control Offer or a Holders right to redemption upon a Change of Control.



The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change



57

this Section 4.14, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.14 by virtue thereof.



SECTION 4.15. Disposition of Proceeds of Asset Sales. The Company
shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Sale is received in cash, Cash Equivalents or Liquid Assets (or any
combination thereof) and (ii) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets subject to such Asset Sale.



The Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
shall, at the Companys option,



(i)
apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale within 360 days of the receipt thereof to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facility and elect to permanently reduce the commitments thereunder by the amount of Indebtedness so repaid,



(ii) apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale
within 360 days of the receipt thereof to repay an amount of other Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company in an amount not exceeding the Other Senior Debt Pro Rata Share and, if applicable, elect to permanently reduce the
amount of the commitments thereunder by the amount of the Indebtedness so repaid,



(iii) apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale within 360 days of the receipt thereof to repay any Restricted Subsidiary
Indebtedness and, if applicable, elect to permanently reduce the commitments thereunder by the amount of the Indebtedness so repaid or



(iv) apply such Net Cash Proceeds within 360 days thereof to an investment in properties and assets that will be used in the same line of
business of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or in businesses reasonably related thereto (or in Capital Stock and other securities of any person that will become a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such investment to the extent such
person owns properties and assets that will be used in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto) (Replacement Assets).



Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are neither used to repay, and
permanently reduce the commitments under, any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), respectively, of the preceding sentence or invested in Replacement Assets within the
360-day period as set forth in clause (iv) shall constitute Offer Excess Proceeds.



When the aggregate amount of Offer Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $15.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to purchase (an Asset Sale Offer), from all holders of the Notes, that aggregate
principal amount of Notes as can be purchased by application of the entire amount of such Offer Excess Proceeds (and not just the amount in excess of $15.0 million)



58



---

at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof on any purchase date (the Net Proceeds Payment
Date), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to any purchase date. Each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law. To the extent that the principal amount of Notes
tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Offer Excess Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use such deficiency for any purpose consistent with other terms of this Indenture. If the principal amount of Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Notes that can be purchased with the Offer Excess Proceeds, Notes to be purchased will be selected by the Company on a prorata basis. Upon completion of such Asset
Sale Offer, the amount of Offer Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.



If the Asset Sale Offer is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and
no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.



The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall include such disclosures as are required by law and shall state:



(v) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 4.15;



(vi) the purchase price
(including the amount of accrued interest, if any) to be paid for Notes purchased pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer and the purchase date;



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



(viii) that, unless the Company defaults on making the
payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Payment Date;



(ix) that Holders accepting the offer to have their Notes purchased pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender their
Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the purchase date;



(x) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their acceptance if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the
second Business Day prior to the purchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election
to have such Notes purchased;



(xi) that
Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each such new Note issued shall be in an original
principal amount in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof;



(xii) any other procedures that a Holder must follow to accept an Asset Sale Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance; and



59



---

(xiii) the name and address of the Paying Agent.



On the Net Proceeds Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment
Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer in accordance with this Section 4.15, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price, plus accrued interest, if any, of all Notes to be
purchased in accordance with this Section 4.15 and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof tendered to and accepted for payment by the Company.



For purposes of this Section 4.15, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent shall promptly (but in any case no later than 10 calendar days after the Net Proceeds Payment Date) mail or deliver to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price for such Notes, and the Company
shall execute and issue, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders, a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note shall be issued in an
original principal amount in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Company will send to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes on or as soon as practicable after the purchase date a notice setting forth the results of the Asset
Sale Offer. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof.



The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent
such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue thereof.



SECTION 4.16. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind upon any of its property or assets, whether now owned or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom to secure either (i) Subordinated Indebtedness or (ii) any Indebtedness of the Company that is not Subordinated Indebtedness, unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with the Liens securing such other Indebtedness, except in the
case of this clause (ii), Permitted Liens.



SECTION 4.17.
Limitation of Issuances and Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not sell and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to issue, sell or transfer any Preferred Stock of any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than to the Company or to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary. In addition, the Company
shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to issue or sell or otherwise dispose of any of its Capital Stock, except:



(i) to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary,



60



---

(ii) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition,
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries own any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary and



(iii) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer
constitute a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect thereto would have been permitted to be made (and shall be deemed to have been made) under Section 4.10 on the date of such issuance,
sale or other disposition.



SECTION 4.18. Limitation on
Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not make, and shall not permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to make, any Investment in Unrestricted Subsidiaries if, at the time thereof, the aggregate amount of such Investments would exceed the
amount of Restricted Payments then permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10. Any Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries permitted to be made pursuant to this Section 4.18 (i) will be treated as a Restricted Payment in calculating the amount
of Restricted Payments made by the Company and (ii) may be made in cash or property.



The Company may designate after the Issue Date any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture (a Designation) only if:



(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time of or after giving effect to such Designation;



(ii) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) pursuant to Section 4.10 in an amount (the Designation Amount) equal to the Fair Market Value

(iii) the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness)
pursuant to Section 4.12 at the time of such Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation).



In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 4.10
for all purposes of this Indenture in the Designation Amount.



The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:



(x) provide credit support for or subject any of its property or assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to
the satisfaction of, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness),

occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary),



except (i) any non-recourse guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of
an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (ii) in the case of (x) and (y), to the extent permitted under Section 4.10. All Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall automatically be deemed to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Subsidiary (a Revocation) if:



(i)
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation;



(ii) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at
such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of the Indenture; and

Subsidiary was an Unrestricted Subsidiary would be permitted by Section 4.11 as if such transaction (or series of related transactions) had occurred at the time of such Revocation.



All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by Board Resolutions of the Company delivered to the Trustee certifying
compliance with the foregoing provisions.

permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction unless (i) the consideration received in such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property sold, and (ii) the Company
could incur the Attributable Indebtedness in respect of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction in compliance with Section 4.12.



SECTION 4.20. Application of Fall Away Covenants. If no Default has occurred and is continuing, after the rating assigned to the Notes by both of

ARTICLE SIX



REMEDIES



SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An Event of Default means
any of the following events:



(a) the Company defaults in the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, when due and payable, on any of the Notes (at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, acceleration, required purchase, sinking fund, scheduled principal payment or otherwise); or



64



---

(b) the Company defaults in the payment of an installment of interest on any of the Notes, when due and
payable, continued for 30 days or more; or



(c) the Company
fails to comply with any of its obligations described under Section 5.01, Section 4.14 or Section 4.15; or



(d) the Company fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Notes or this Indenture (other than a default specified
in (a), (b) or (c) above) for a period of 45 days after written notice of such failure requiring the Company to remedy the same shall have been given (x) to the Company by the Trustee or (y) to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; or



(e) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary defaults under one or more agreements, indentures or instruments under which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary then has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $10.0 million individually or
in the aggregate and either (i) such Indebtedness is already due and payable in full or (ii) such default or defaults results in the actual acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that no such default
under any Interest Rate Agreement, Currency Agreement or Commodity Price Protection Agreement shall by itself constitute an Event of Default hereunder unless such default consists of the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay
when due any net cash amounts actually due to the counterparty to such Interest Rate Agreement, Currency Agreement or Commodity Price Protection Agreement; provided, further, that a payment default described in the immediately
preceding proviso shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until such payment default continues for 30 days or more, if the acceleration or termination event giving rise to the applicable payment obligation by the Company or such
Subsidiary was not a result of any default, action or inaction by the Company or such Subsidiary; or



(f) one or more judgments, orders or decrees of any court or regulatory or administrative agency for the payment of money in excess of $10.0 million
either individually or in the aggregate shall have been rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective properties and shall not have been discharged and there shall have been a period of 60 consecutive days
during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, order or decree, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or



(g) the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries pursuant to or under or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:



(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;



(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it
in an involuntary case or proceeding;



(iii)
consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;



(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or



65



---

(v) shall generally not pay its debts when such debts become due or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally; or



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



(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding,



(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
Material Subsidiaries for all or substantially all of their properties taken as a whole, or



(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries,



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



SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an
Event of Default (other than as specified in clauses (g) or (h) with respect to the Company or any Material Subsidiary) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee and the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all of the outstanding Notes due and payable immediately, upon which declaration all such amounts
payable in respect of the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (g) or (h) above with respect to the Company or any Material Subsidiary occurs and is continuing, then the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued interest on all of the outstanding Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of Notes.



After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration if (a) the Company has paid
or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (i) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (ii) all overdue
interest on all Notes, (iii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, and (iv) to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and (b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.



66



---

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.



(b) All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be
enforced by the Trustee even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.



67



---

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the acceleration of the Notes, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a Default
or Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) or in respect of any provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder so affected pursuant to Section 9.02. When a Default or Event of Default is so waived,
it shall be deemed cured and shall cease to exist. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of (§) 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such (§) 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the
TIA.



SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of the
Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Article Six and under the TIA. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided, however, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction (a) that conflicts with any rule of law or this
Indenture, (b) that the Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or (c) that may expose the Trustee to personal liability for which adequate indemnity provided to the Trustee against such
liability is not reasonably assured to it; provided, further, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of
(§) 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA, and such (§) 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.



SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to this Indenture or the Notes or any remedy hereunder, unless the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such
proceeding as Trustee under the Notes and this Indenture, the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 15 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and the Trustee, within such 15 day period, has not received
directions inconsistent with such written request by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.



The foregoing limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note.



A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holders or to obtain priority or preference over such other Holders.



68



---

SECTION 6.07. Right of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after the respective due dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.



SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company, or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum provided for by the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.07.



SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The
Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents, counsel, accountants and experts) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect
and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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.



SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six it shall pay out such money
in the following order:



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



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



69



---

Third: to Holders for the principal amounts (including any premium) owing under the
Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for the principal (including any premium); and



Fourth: the balance, if any, to the Company.



The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
pursuant to this Section 6.10.



SECTION 6.11. Undertaking
for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may in its discretion require the filing by any party litigant in
the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith
of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes.



SECTION 6.12. Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or any Note 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 the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, 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.

TRUSTEE



SECTION 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a

70



---

provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.



(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own

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



(e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.01 and Section 7.02.



(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or assets

resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice to the Company, to examine the books, records, and premises of the Company, personally or by
agent or attorney and to consult with the officers and representatives of the Company, including the Companys accountants and attorneys during reasonable business hours and subject to executing a confidentiality undertaking in customary form
with respect to confidential or proprietary information of the Company and its Subsidiary.



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

of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers Certificates).



SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do
the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.



SECTION 7.04. Trustees Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, and it shall not be accountable for the Companys use of the
proceeds from the Notes, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or the Notes other
than the Trustees certificate of authentication.



SECTION
7.05. Notice of Default. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the
occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note, including an accelerated payment, a Default in payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer or on the Net Proceeds Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and a Default in compliance with Article Five hereof, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Board of Directors, the executive committee



72



---

of its Board of Directors or a committee of its directors and/or Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interest of the Holders. The foregoing sentence of this Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to (§) 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso to (§) 315(b) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture
and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.



SECTION 7.06.
Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after May 15 of each year beginning with May 15, 2005, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA (§) 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not
otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA (§) 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA (§) (§) 313(b), (c) and (d).



A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and
each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed.



The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and the Trustee shall comply with TIA (§) 313(d).



SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. (a) The Company covenants and agrees: (i) to pay to the Trustee
from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Company and
the Trustee shall, from time to time, agree in writing; (ii) to reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its written request for all reasonable and documented expenses, fees, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf
of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, fees, and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and (iii) to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense (including taxes other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including enforcement of this section 7.07. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for such expenses, fees, disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.



(b) The Trustee shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to
the Company of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the Trustee shall be selected by the Company. The Company may participate at its own expense
in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel



73



---

to the Company shall not (except with the consent of the Trustee) also be counsel to the Trustee. In no event shall the
Company be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for the Trustee in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation
or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Section 7.07 (whether or not the Trustee is an actual or potential party thereto),
unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the Trustee from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee.



SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with
the Companys consent, by so notifying the Company and the Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if:



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



(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;



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



(4) the Trustee
becomes incapable of acting.



If the Trustee resigns or is
removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.



A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring
Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The Company shall mail notice of such successor Trustees appointment to each Holder.



If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.



If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.



74



---

Notwithstanding any resignation or replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
Companys obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.



SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business (including the trust created by this Indenture) to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is
otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.



SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement
of TIA (§) (§) 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee (or, in the case of a Trustee that is a subsidiary of another Bank or a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank or bank holding company) shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and have an office or agency in the City of New York. In addition, if the Trustee is a subsidiary of another Bank or
a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of such bank or bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA (§) 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA (§) 310(b); provided,
however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA (§) 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding, if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA (§) 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA (§) 310 shall apply to the Company, as obligor of the Notes.



SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA (§) 311(a),
excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA (§) 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA (§) 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.



ARTICLE EIGHT



DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE



SECTION 8.01. Termination of Companys Obligations. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to
surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when (a) either (i) all Notes, theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed
Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient
to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal



75



---

of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the
Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee
an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; and (d) such satisfaction and discharge will not
result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.



The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have
its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes (Legal Defeasance). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes,
except for (a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Companys obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary
Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments, (c) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Companys obligations in connection
therewith and (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Section 8.01. In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company released with respect to covenants contained in Sections 4.04, 4.08 and
4.10 through 4.19 and Article Five (Covenant Defeasance) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those
events described under Section 6.01 (except those events described in Section 6.01(a),(b),(g) and (h)) will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.



In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:



(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee,
in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in United States dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be;



(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
in the United States confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and in either case, and (iii)
the Holders 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;



76



---

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;



(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default under
Section 6.01(g) or (h) from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned;



(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest with respect to any securities of the Company;



(f) 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 to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;



(g) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment
company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder;



(h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect
that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code;



(i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;



(j) no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the
Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the date of such deposit; and



(k) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent under this Indenture to either defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinion of Counsel required by clauses (b)(i) and (c) above need not be delivered if all the Notes not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by such Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

SECTION 8.02 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S.
Legal Tender or U.S. Government obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the principal
of and interest on the Notes. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations.



The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Legal Tender or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01 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 outstanding Notes.



SECTION 8.03 Repayment to the Company. Subject to Sections 7.07 and
8.01, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for one year; provided, however, that the Company shall, if requested by the
Trustee or Paying Agent, give to the Trustee or Paying Agent, indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability which may be incurred by it by reason of such paying; provided, further, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company,
Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.



SECTION 8.04 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the companys obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.



SECTION 8.05 Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. After (i) the
conditions of Section 8.01 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions



78



---

precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied
with, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Companys obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in Section 8.01, provided the legal counsel delivering such
Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers Certificates of the Company.



ARTICLE NINE



MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE



SECTION 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend, waive or supplement this Indenture without notice to or consent of any
Holder: (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (b) to comply with Section 5.01 of this Indenture; (c) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes; (d) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in order
to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or (e) to make any change that would provide any additional benefit or rights to the Holders or that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder;
provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that such change does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder.



Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing
the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee may but shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects
its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.



SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or any amended or supplemental Indenture with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or, tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).



Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing
the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in
Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture affects the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.



79



---

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



After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice describing
the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections
6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each
Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not, directly or indirectly: (i) change the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any such Note or alter the optional redemption or repurchase provisions of any such Note
or this Indenture in a manner adverse to the Holders; (ii) reduce the principal amount of (or the premium of) any such Note; (iii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any such Note; (iv) change the place or currency of
payment of principal of (or premium) or interest on any such Note; (v) modify any provisions of this Indenture relating to the waiver of past defaults (other than to add sections of this Indenture or the Notes subject thereto) or the right of the
holders of Notes to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any such Note or the modification and amendment provisions of this Indenture and the Notes (other than to add sections of this Indenture or the Notes which
may not be amended, supplemented or waived without the consent of each Holder therein affected); (vi) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of outstanding Notes necessary for amendment to or waiver of compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes or for waiver of any Default in respect thereof; (vii) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or redemption payment with respect to, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of
the Notes by the Holders thereof as provided in this Indenture and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (viii) modify the ranking or priority of any Note in any manner adverse to Holders; or (ix) following the
occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale, modify the provisions of any covenant (or the related definitions) in this Indenture requiring the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control or
an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Asset Sale or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto in a manner materially adverse to the Holders affected thereby otherwise than in accordance with this Indenture.



SECTION 9.03 Compliance with TIA. Every amendment, waiver or
supplement of this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect; provided, however, that this Section 9.03 shall not of itself require that this Indenture or the Trustee be qualified under the TIA or constitute
any admission or acknowledgment by any party hereto that any such qualification is required prior to the time this Indenture and the Trustee are required by the TIA to be so qualified.



SECTION 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent
to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.



80



---

Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holders
Note or portion of such Note by notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not
theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective upon receipt by the Trustee of such Officers Certificate and evidence of consent by the Holders of the requisite
percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes.



The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a Record Date is fixed, then notwithstanding the second sentence of the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such Record Date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such Record Date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such Record Date unless consents from Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes required hereunder for the
effectiveness of such consents shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90 day period.



SECTION 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the
Holder of such Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determine, the Company in exchange for
the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.



SECTION 9.06 Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article
Nine; provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. In executing such
amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers Certificate of the Company, stating that no
Event of Default shall occur as a result of such amendment, supplement or waiver and that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, provided, however, that the legal counsel
delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers Certificates of the Company. Such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee.

(REVERSE OF SECURITY)



61/8% Senior Note due 2014, Series A



1. Interest. California Steel Industries, Inc. (the Company), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date on
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from March 22, 2004. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing September 15, 2004. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed.



The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue installments of interest from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and
on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.



2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the
close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange (including pursuant to an Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement)) after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts (U.S. Legal Tender). However, the Company may pay principal and interest by its check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender. The Company may deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a
Holder at the Holders registered address.



3. Paying
Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the Trustee) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders.



4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated
as of March 22, 2004 (the Indenture), between the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code (§) (§) 77aaa-77bbbb) (the TIA), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company.



Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be
amended from time to time in accordance with its terms.



5.
Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on and after March 15, 2009, upon not less than 30 nor more than



A-5



---

60 days notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if
redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on March 15 of the years set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption:



|                    |  |            |  
|------------------- |  | ---------- | -
|Year                |  | Percentage |  
|2009                |  | 103.063    | %
|2010                |  | 102.042    | %
|2011                |  | 101.021    | %
|2012 and thereafter |  | 100.000    | %



On or before March 15,
2007, the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of a Public Equity Offering to redeem up to 35% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at a redemption price in cash equal to 106.125% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes is outstanding following such redemption (including any Additional Notes). Notice of
any such redemption must be given not later than 60 days after the consummation of the Public Equity Offering.



6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder
of Notes to be redeemed at such Holders registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part.



Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for
redemption on such Redemption Date, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such redemption price plus accrued interest, if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date and the only
right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any.



7. Offers to Purchase. Sections 4.14 and 4.15 of the Indenture provide that, after certain Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture) and upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture.



8. Registration Rights. Pursuant to a
registration rights agreement by and among the Company and the Initial Purchasers, the Company will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of a Note substantially in the form of this Note shall have the right to
exchange such Note for Exchange Notes (as defined in the Indenture), which have been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects as the Initial Notes. The Holders of the Initial
Notes shall be entitled to receive certain additional interest payments in the event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms



A-6



---

of the registration rights agreement. A Holder of Additional Notes that constitute Restricted Securities shall have the
rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, between the Company and the other parties thereto, relating to the rights given by the Company to the purchasers of Additional Notes.



9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in registered
form, without coupons, and in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes
or portions thereof selected for redemption.



10. Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.



11. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for one year, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay
the money back to the Company. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.



12. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government
Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity and complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating thereto, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and
the Notes (including certain covenants, but including, under certain circumstances, its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes but without affecting the rights of the Holders to receive such amounts from such deposits).



13. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any past Default or Event of
Default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, comply with any requirements of the Commission in order to
effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or comply with Article Five of the Indenture or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note.



14. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations
on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of their Capital Stock or certain Indebtedness, make certain Investments, create or incur liens, enter into
transactions with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, issue and sell Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, and on the ability of the Company to



A-7



---

merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the Companys or its Restricted Subsidiaries assets or adopt a plan of liquidation. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. If no Default has occurred and is continuing,
after the rating assigned to the Notes by Moodys and S&P are Investment Grade and remain as such, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.17, 4.18 and clause (iii) of the
first paragraph of Section 5.01 of the Indenture. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.



15. Successors. When a successor assumes, in accordance with the Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor
under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor, subject to certain exceptions, will be released from those obligations.



16. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal of all Notes then outstanding, plus all accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to and including the date the Notes are paid, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal
or interest when due, for any reason or a Default in compliance with Article Five of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.



17. Trustee Dealings with the Company and Its Subsidiaries. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.



18. No Recourse Against Others. No partner, director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes
by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.



19. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this
Note.



20. Governing Law. This Note and the Indenture
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as applied to contracts made and performed within the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Each of the parties hereto agrees to
submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note.

incur liens, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, issue and sell Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, and on the ability of the
Company to merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Companys or its Restricted Subsidiaries assets or adopt a plan of liquidation. Such

power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest when due, for any reason or a Default in compliance with Article Five of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.



15. Trustee Dealings with the Company and Its Subsidiaries. The
Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.
