such period or increased by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) directly
attributable thereto for such period.

acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (i),

forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such

to be realized within twelve (12) months after the date of such Investment, acquisition,
disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation as the result of specified actions taken
or to be taken within six (6) months after such date) and, except as otherwise provided herein or
(y) determined in accordance with Regulation S-X. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of
interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated
as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period
(taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a

determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuers to be the rate of
interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of
making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit
facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of
such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be
determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency

chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuers may designate.

     (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition
or covenant has been complied with.



          SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.



          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion

          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,

          SECTION 104. 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 Issuers. 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 Issuers, 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

          (d) If the Issuers shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Issuers may, at their option, by or pursuant
to a Board Resolution, 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
Issuers shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date
shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which 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 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 there -



-31-









 







for or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Trustee, the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Note.



          SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Issuers, Any Subsidiary 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,




     (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which
may be via facsimile) to or with the Trustee at Wilmington Trust FSB, Corporate Capital
Markets, 50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1290, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1544, Fax (612) 217-5651,
Attention: Clearwater Communications LLC Administrator, or




     (2) the Issuers or any Subsidiary 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 and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or
delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor
addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph,
Attention: General Counsel, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor.



          SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.



          Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Issuers or the
Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and 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
and notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, shall be deemed given five calendar days
after mailing.



          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 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.



          SECTION 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.



          The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.



          SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns.



          All agreements of the Issuers 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
Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture will bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in
Section 1209 hereof. The provisions of Article Fourteen relating to the Collateral Agent shall
inure to the benefit of such Collateral Agent.



-32-









 





          SECTION 109. Separability 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 110. 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 Paying Agent, any Notes Registrar and their successors hereunder, the
Holders and, with respect to any provisions hereof relating to the subordination of the Notes or
the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness, the holders of Senior Indebtedness, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.



          SECTION 111. Governing Law.



          This Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act that are referred to herein or are otherwise required to be part of this Indenture
and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.



          SECTION 112. Communication by Holders of Notes with Other Holders of Notes.



          Holders may communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act Section 312(b) with other Holders with
respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuers, the Trustee, the Notes
Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Trust Indenture Act Section 312(c).



          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 that
no interest shall accrue 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, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.



          No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any of their parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the 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 and the related Guarantee waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees. Such waiver
may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of
the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.



          SECTION 115. Trust Indenture Act Controls.



          If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which
is required to be included in this Indenture by the TIA, the provision required by the TIA shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may
be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so
modified or excluded, as the case may be.



-33-









 





          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.



          SECTION 117. USA Patriot Act.



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



          SECTION 118. Waiver of Jury Trial.



          EACH OF THE ISSUERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY 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 THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED 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; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are
consistent with its banking practices to resume performance as soon as practicable under the
circumstances.

Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuers pursuant to one or more Issuer Orders, except as

authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes. In each case, the Trustee shall receive an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuers that it may reasonably require in
connection with such authentication of Notes. Such order shall specify the amount of Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated.



          Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.



          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 officer,
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 an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to Article Eight, 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 such Issuer or
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed a supplemental
indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article
Eight, 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.



          SECTION 304. Temporary Notes.



          Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers designated for such purpose pursuant



-38-









 







 to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any
one or more temporary Notes, the Issuers 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, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.



          The Issuers shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(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”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuers shall provide for the registration of Notes
and of transfers of Notes. 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 Trustee is hereby initially appointed as
note registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes
as herein provided.



          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuers
designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Issuers shall execute, and upon Issuer Order 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 Issuers shall
execute, and upon Issuer Order 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by written instruments of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Issuers, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.



          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of
Notes, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes, fees or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 303, 304, 906, 1017, 1018 or 1108 not involving
any transfer.



          SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.



          If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or (ii) the Issuers and the Trustee
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is
delivered to the Issuers and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuers or the Trustee that such
Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuers 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 Issuers in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.



          Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuers 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.



-39-









 





          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 Issuers and each
Subsidiary 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.



          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 Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section
1002; provided, however, that, subject to Section 301 hereof, each installment of interest may at
the Issuers’ option be paid by (i) 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 or (ii) transfer to an account located in the United States
maintained by the payee.



          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 Issuers, at
its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:




     (1) The Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers 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
Trustee 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 Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such Special Record
Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, 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 106, 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).




     (2) The Issuers 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 notice given by
the Issuers to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.



          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 Issuers, any
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers 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

          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 promptly
cancelled by it. The Issuers may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuers 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 Issuers have not issued and
sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Issuers shall
so acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 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.

except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary
to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee

hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note
by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and
if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be
increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

          (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to
a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge
payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 304, 903, 1017, 1018 and 1107 hereof.



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



          (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange

same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or
Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

redemption of Notes under Section 1104 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day
of such mailing;




     (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

next succeeding interest payment date.



          (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any
Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the

such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

provisions of Section 202 hereof.



          (8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the
Note Registrar pursuant to this Section 312 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be
submitted by facsimile.



          (9) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law

Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and
to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to
determine compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

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



          SECTION 314. Issuance of Additional Notes.

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.

obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive

provided, however, that a default under Section 501(3), (4), (8) or (9) will not constitute an
Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time
specified in Section 501(3), (4), (8) or (9) after receipt of such notice.




          SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.



          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) above)
occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% 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 Issuers (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders).



          Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will be due and
payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section
501(7) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all Outstanding Notes shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any notice, declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.



          At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this
Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by
written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:




     (a) the Issuers have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:




     (A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Notes,



-51-









 






     (B) all unpaid principal of (and premium on) any Outstanding Notes which has
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such
unpaid principal at the rate borne by the Notes,




     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and




     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee or Collateral Agent hereunder and
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee or
Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel; and




     (b) Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or
premium, if any, on) or interest on Notes which have become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513, no such rescission
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.



          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of any Event of Default specified in
Section 501(5) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting
payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by
the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose,




     (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been
discharged, or




     (y) 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




     (z) if the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.



          SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.



          The Issuers covenant that if:




     (a) 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




     (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium on) any Note at the
Maturity thereof,


the Issuers 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 and the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel.




          If the Issuers fail 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 Issuers, any Subsidiary 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 Issuers, any Subsidiary 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
Guarantees by such appropriate judicial



-52-









 







proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights,
including seeking recourse against any Subsidiary 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 but without limitation, seeking recourse
against any Subsidiary Guarantor.



          SECTION 504. 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
Issuers or any other obligor including any Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the Notes or the property of
the Issuers or of such other obligor or their creditors, and subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, 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 Issuers for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or
interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,




     (i) 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




     (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;


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 or Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee or Collateral Agent under Section 607 or Section 1411, as applicable.




          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 505. 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 506. Application of Money Collected.



          Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, any money or property collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article 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 under Section 607 and the
Collateral Agent under Section 1411;



-53-









 






     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 Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes,
as their interests may appear or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct in writing;
provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee
have been paid in full as required by this Indenture.



          SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.



          No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for
any other remedy hereunder, unless:




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




     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;




     (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance
with such request;




     (4) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and




     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 30-day period by the Holders of a majority or more in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes;


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 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
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 508. 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, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.



          SECTION 509. 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 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 Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor,
any other obligor of the Notes, the Trustee and the



-54-









 







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 510. 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 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 511. 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 512. Control by Holders.



          Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, 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 Collateral Agent, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or Collateral Agent, provided that:




     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture,




     (2) subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, 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.




     (4) prior to taking any such action, the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses
caused by taking or not taking such action.



          SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.



          Subject to Sections 508 and 902 and the last paragraph of Section 502, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all
such Notes waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a continuing Default or
Event of Default (1) in respect of 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
which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected.



          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 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.



          Each of the Issuers, the Subsidiary 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 Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any other
obligor on the Notes (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.



ARTICLE SIX




THE TRUSTEE




          SECTION 601. Duties of the Trustee.



          (a) Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default,




     (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and




     (2) in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions
specifically required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture, but not to verify the contents thereof.



          (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has actual knowledge or of which written notice of such Default or Event of Default
shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuers, any other obligor of the Notes or by any
Holder, 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 their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.



          (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,
except that




     (1) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of
this Section;




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




     (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes relating to the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and




     (4) 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.



-56-









 





          (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.



          SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults.



          Within 90 (ninety) days after the earlier of receipt from the Issuers of notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or the date when such Default or Event of
Default becomes known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent
provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default or Event of Default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.



          SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.



          Subject to the provisions of TIA Sections 315(a) through 315(d):




     (1) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in original or facsimile form) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;




     (2) any request or direction of the Issuers mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors
may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;




     (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;




     (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon;




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




     (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness 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 to examine the
books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney at the
expense of the Issuers and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
investigation;




     (7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed
with due care by it hereunder;



-57-









 






     (8) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Indenture;




     (9) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian
and other Person employed to act hereunder;




     (10) the Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver an Officers’ Certificate
substantially in the Form of Exhibit E hereto setting forth the names of individuals and/or
titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an
Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded;




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




     (12) the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Company,
Finance Co, the Subsidiary Guarantors, or any other Person and without limiting the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to monitor, evaluate or verify
compliance by the Company, Finance Co or the Subsidiary Guarantors with the terms hereof or
the Note Documents, or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information
received by the Trustee from the Company, Finance Co or the Subsidiary Guarantors (or from
any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the
Collateral;




     (13) any permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking actions
enumerated in this Indenture or the Note Documents shall not be construed as a duty;




     (14) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter unless a
Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by
the Trustee and Collateral Agent at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references
the Notes generally, the Company or this Indenture. Whenever reference is made in this
Indenture to a Default or an Event of Default such reference shall, insofar as determining
any liability on the part of the Trustee is concerned, be construed to refer only to a
Default or an Event of Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have knowledge in
accordance with this paragraph; and




     (15) to the extent not inconsistent herewith, the rights, protections, immunities and
indemnities afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture also shall be afforded to the
Collateral Agent.



          The Trustee shall not be required 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.



          SECTION 604. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.



          The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuers, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture, the Note Documents or of the Notes, except that the Trustee
represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture the Note Documents,
authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in
a “Statement of Eligibility” on Form T-1 supplied to the Issuers are true and accurate, subject to
the qualifications set

forth therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuers
of Notes or the proceeds thereof.



          SECTION 605. May Hold Notes.



          The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Issuers or of the
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and,
subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Issuers with the same rights it
would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent; provided,
however, that, if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90
days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.



          SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust.



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



          SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.



          The Issuers agree:




     (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in
writing between the Issuers and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust);




     (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or other Note Document (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused
by its own negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Collateral Agent) or willful
misconduct; and




     (3) to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (and each of their officers,
directors, employees, counsel and agents) for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, including taxes (other than the taxes based on
the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence (or gross negligence in the case of
the Collateral Agent) or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties under
this Indenture and the Note Documents including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim regardless of whether the claim is asserted by the Issuers, a Subsidiary
Guarantor, a Holder or any other Person or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.



          The obligations of the Issuers under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee. As security for the
performance of such obligations of the Issuers, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes
upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust
for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Notes.



          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its
counsel) of and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.



          The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

          SECTION 608. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.



          There shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee
under TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If such corporation 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. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.



          SECTION 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.



          (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 610.



          (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuers. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors, 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers. 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 Issuers, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee.



          (d) If at any time:




     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after
written request therefor by the Issuers or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Note for at least six months, or




     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 608 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Issuers or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Note for at least six months, or




     (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the
Issuers, by a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to TIA Section
315(e), 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 removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.



          (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 Issuers, by a Board Resolution, 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 Issuers 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



-60-









 







appointed by the Issuers. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuers
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 Issuers 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 106. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.



          SECTION 610. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.



          (a) Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers 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) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuers shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.



          (c) 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
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 an
Authenticating Agent or Agents 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 106. 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 a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to
the Issuers. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate



-61-









 







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 Issuers and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said 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. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.



          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 all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided 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 Issuers. 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 Issuers. 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 Issuers and shall give
written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in Section
106. 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 Issuers 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 Issuers 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.

such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders
as of such Regular Record Date; and




     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, within 30

Registrar, no such list need be furnished.



          SECTION 702. Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Holders.



          Every Holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Issuers and the
Trustee that none of the Issuers or the Trustee or any agent of either of them shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of
the Holders in accordance with TIA Section 312, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing
any material pursuant to a request made under TIA Section 312(b).



          SECTION 703. Reports by Trustee.



          Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with the first May 15 after the first

TIA Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such May 15 if required by TIA Section 313(a).

-69-









 







agency for one or more of such purposes. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers

the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent

          The Issuers 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 Issuers of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes.
The Issuers 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 Issuers 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 of its action or
failure so to act.



          Whenever the Issuers 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, 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 Issuers will promptly notify
the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.



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

or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such
sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;




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




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



          The Issuers 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 Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuers 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers on Issuer Request, or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such
Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as Trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuers cause to be published
once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day
and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The



-70-









 







City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified

balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers.

preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence and that of each Restricted
Subsidiary and the corporate rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Issuers and each
Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to preserve any
such right or franchise if management of the Issuers shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and its Subsidiaries as a
whole.



          SECTION 1005. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.



          The Issuers will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the
Issuers or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become
a lien upon the property of the Issuers or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuers
shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good
faith judgment of management of the Issuers) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.



          SECTION 1006. Maintenance of Properties.



          The Issuers will cause all properties owned by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary or
used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to
be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary
equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuers may be necessary so that the business
carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuers from discontinuing the
maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of management of
the Issuers, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary.



          SECTION 1007. Insurance.



          (a) The Issuers will at all times keep all of its and its Subsidiaries properties which are of
an insurable nature insured with insurers, believed by the Issuers to be responsible, against loss
or damage to the extent that property of similar character is usually so insured by corporations
similarly situated and owning like properties.



          (b) The Issuers and Subsidiary Guarantors (i) will cause any insurance policies covering any
Collateral to be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a customary lender’s loss payable
endorsement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which endorsement shall
provide that, from and after the Issue Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written
notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay
all proceeds otherwise payable to the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors under such policies
directly to the Trustee; (ii) will cause all such policies to provide that neither the Issuers, the
Trustee nor any other party shall be a coinsurer thereunder and to contain a “Replacement Cost
Endorsement,” without any deduction for depreciation, and such other provisions as the Trustee may
reasonably require from time to time to protect their interests; (iii) deliver original or
certified copies of all such policies to the Trustee; cause each such policy to provide that it
shall not be canceled, modified or not renewed (x) by reason of nonpayment of premium upon not less
than 10 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Trustee (giving the Trustee the
right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums (at the expense of the Issuers)) or (y) for any
other reason upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the
Trustee; and (iv) will deliver to the Trustee, prior to the cancellation, modification or
nonrenewal of any such policy of insurance, a draft copy of a renewal or



-71-









 







replacement policy (or other evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the
Trustee) and reasonably promptly thereafter deliver a duplicate original copy of such policy
together with evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of payment of the premium therefor.



          (c) The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors will notify the Trustee promptly whenever any
separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be
maintained under this covenant is taken out by the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and
promptly deliver to the Trustee a duplicate original copy of such policy or policies.



          SECTION 1008. Statement by Officers as to Default.



          (a) The Issuers will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year,

material to Holders of Notes or the business, assets, operations, financial positions or
prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;


provided, however, that unless otherwise required to be provided to Holders:





     (A) such reports required pursuant to Section 1009(a)(1) shall not be required to
include the information contemplated by Item 1B, Item 4, Item 5, Item 9A, Item 9A(T), Item
10 (but only with respect to information required by Items 405, 406 and 407 of Regulation

from) this offering memorandum), Item 11, Item 13 (both only with respect to the information

     (B) such reports required pursuant to Section 1009(a)(2) shall not be required to
include the information contemplated by Item 4 and Item 4T of Part I thereof and Item 2 and
Item 4 of Part II of Form 10-Q, as in effect on the Issue Date; and




     (C) such reports required pursuant to Section 1009(a)(1), (2) and (3) (i) shall not be
required to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or
related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission, or Item 10(e) of
Regulation S-K (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein), in each
case, as in effect on the Issue Date or any successor provision thereto, and (ii) shall not
be required to comply with Items 402, 405, 406, 407 and 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated by
the Commission, in each case, as in effect on the Issue Date or any successor provision
thereto;


in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in
such form. The Company shall make the information referred to above in this clause (a) available
by posting such information on a publicly accessible page on the Company’s website (or that of any
of its parent companies). To the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Company shall agree
that, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, it shall furnish to Holders and to securities
analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered
pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.




          (b) The Issuers may satisfy their obligations in this Section 1009 with respect to information
relating to the Issuers by furnishing information relating to the Parent; provided that, with
respect to any audited or unaudited financial statements, the same is accompanied by consolidating
information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the financial information
relating to the Parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuers and the
Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand.



          (c) If Parent or the Company has electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s Next-Generation EDGAR system (or any successor system), the reports described in
clause (a) above (including any consolidating information required by clause (b), unless otherwise
provided to the Trustee and the Holders), the Issuers shall be deemed to have satisfied the
foregoing requirements.

          (d) The Issuers shall also hold quarterly conference calls for the Holders of the Notes to
discuss financial information for the previous quarter. The conference call shall be following the
last day of each fiscal quarter of the Issuers and not later than ten business days from the time
that the Issuers distribute the financial information as set forth Section 1009(a)(1) and (2), as
applicable above. No fewer than two days prior to the conference call, the Issuers shall issue a
press release announcing the time and date of such conference call and providing instructions for
Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors to obtain access to such call. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Issuers may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by (i) combining the
conference calls required above with the earnings conference calls of the Parent that are held on a
quarterly basis with equity holders or (ii) holding the conference calls required above within the
time period required as part of any earnings calls of the Issuers in accordance with past practice.



          Nothing herein shall be construed so as to require the Issuers to include in such reports any
information specified in Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X.



          SECTION 1010. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

as a consequence thereof;




     (B) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the

     (B) the sale (other than to the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary) of
the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the
extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the
Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 1010(b)(18) or to the
extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend or
distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary in each case after the Issue
Date; plus




     (5) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted
Subsidiary, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith or if, in the case
of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such fair market value may exceed $75.0 million, in
writing by an independent investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing,
at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted
Subsidiary, other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the Investment in
such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary
pursuant Section 1010(b)(18) or to the extent such Investment constituted a
Permitted Investment.




     (b) The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit:

an Unrestricted Subsidiary on account of such Equity Interests or Indebtedness,
provided, that, in the case of clause (B), such proceeds will be excluded from EBITDA for

     (16) Investments in joint ventures; provided that the aggregate Restricted Payments

          (d) As of the time of issuance of the Notes, all of the Issuers’ Subsidiaries will be
Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuers will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a
Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” in Section 101 of this Indenture. For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuers and their Restricted
Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be
Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of
“Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would
be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to Section 1010(a) or Section 1010(b)(9) or (10), or
pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to any of
the restrictive covenants set forth in this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Spectrum
Entity shall at any time pay a dividend or make any distribution to any entity that is not a
Spectrum Entity unless the proceeds of any such dividend or distribution is applied in its entirety
to repurchase Notes; provided that, any Spectrum Entity may pay a dividend or make distributions to
the Company so that the Company may make tax distributions pursuant to its limited liability
company agreement, so long as the Company uses the dividend or distribution to pay such tax
distributions at such time.



          SECTION 1011. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock
and Preferred Stock.



          (a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with
respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Issuers shall not issue any
shares of Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of
Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that the Issuers



-79-









 







may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified
Stock, and any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than any Spectrum Entity) may incur Indebtedness
(including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of preferred
stock, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries at the
time such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is
issued would have been no greater than 6.50 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a
pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been
incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the
application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four
full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available.



          (b) The foregoing limitations shall not apply to:




     (1) the incurrence by the Issuers and any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness
represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date (including any Guarantee) (other than any
Additional Notes);




     (2) Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in Section 1011(b)(1));




     (3) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations), Disqualified Stock and
preferred stock incurred by the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than any
Spectrum Entity), to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or
personal) or equipment (other than any Spectrum Assets) that is used or useful in a Similar
Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person
owning such assets, in an aggregate principal amount which, when aggregated with the
principal amount of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock then
outstanding and incurred pursuant to this Section 1011(b)(3) and including all Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any other Indebtedness, Disqualified
Stock and preferred stock incurred pursuant to this Section 1011(b)(3), does not exceed
$300.0 million;




     (4) Indebtedness incurred by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting
reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of
business, including without limitation letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation
claims, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding
workers’ compensation claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of
credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30
days following such drawing or incurrence;




     (5) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary
providing for and to the extent of (x) indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or
similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of
any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any
Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose
of financing such acquisition; provided that the maximum assumable liability in respect of
all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds
(the fair market value of such noncash proceeds being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Issuers
and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition and (y) working capital
or other similar balance sheet related purchase price adjustments incurred or assumed in
connection with the acquisition of a Subsidiary;




     (6) Indebtedness of the Issuers to a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that any subsequent
issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such
Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a Subsidiary Guarantor or any other subsequent transfer
of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuers or another Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be
deemed, in each case to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this Section
1011(b)(6);




     (7) Indebtedness of the Issuers or a Subsidiary Guarantor to a Restricted Subsidiary
that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that any such Indebtedness is subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes; provided further that any subsequent issuance or transfer of
any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing
to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent



-80-









 







transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuers or another Restricted
Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not
permitted by this Section 1011(b)(7);




     (8) (A) Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Spectrum Entity) to the
Issuers or another Subsidiary Guarantor; and

another Spectrum Entity that is a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that any subsequent
transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or another Spectrum Entity that is
a Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be deemed, in each case to be an incurrence of such
Indebtedness not permitted by this Section 1011(b)(8)(B);




     (9) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to the

-83-









 






     (24) Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding (for the Issuers and all Subsidiary Guarantors) not to
exceed an amount equal to $1.0 billion, provided that (i) the final maturity of such

outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (25), does not at any one time outstanding
exceed $50 million.



          (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1011, in the event that an item
of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock described in clauses
(1) through (25) of this Section 1011(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 1011(a),
the Issuers shall, in their sole discretion, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness in
any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses of
this Section 1011(b) or pursuant to Section 1011(a) hereof. Additionally, all or any portion of
any item of Indebtedness may later be reclassified as having been incurred pursuant to any category
of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (25) above or pursuant to the first
paragraph of this covenant so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to
such provision at the time of reclassification. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted
value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock for purposes of this Section 1011.



          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated
in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case
of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other
Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable
U.S. dollar -denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be
deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness
does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.



          The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred
in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the
currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.



          (e) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to directly or
indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior
in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case
may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such
Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee to the extent and in the same manner in all material respects and
taken as a whole as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to other Indebtedness of
the Issuers or such Subsidiary Guarantor as the case may be.



-84-









 





          (f) (1) Unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to secured
Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (2) Senior Indebtedness shall not be treated as
subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority
with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral.



          SECTION 1012. Limitation on Liens.



          The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, create,
incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien that secures
obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantees (the “Initial Lien”) of any kind upon
any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except:




     (1) in the case of Initial Liens on any Collateral owned by a Spectrum Entity, any
Initial Lien if such Initial Lien is of the type described under clauses (1), (2), (3), (4),
(7), (8), (9), (14), (16), (17), (18) (but only to the extent the original Lien being
refinanced is listed in this clause (1)), (19), (20), (21), (22), (24), (25), (26), (27),
(30) or (31) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (Liens permitted by such clauses
“Permitted Spectrum Liens”); and




     (2) in the case of any other asset or property owned by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary (other than a Spectrum Entity), any Initial Lien if (i) in the case of any asset
that is not at the time Collateral the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a
senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the
obligations secured by such Initial Lien or (ii) such Initial Lien is expressly junior in
ranking on Collateral relative to the Notes and guarantees pursuant to an Intercreditor
Agreement or such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien,



          Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (2) of the
preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien which
release and discharge in the case of any sale of any such asset or property shall not affect any
Lien that the Collateral Agent may have on the proceeds from such sale.



          SECTION 1013. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.



          (a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment
to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or
purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of
the Issuers (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or
consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless:




     (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to
the Issuers or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained
in a comparable transaction by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated
Person; and




     (2) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in
excess of $25.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board of Directors
approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying
that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above; and (ii) with respect to any
Affiliate Transactions or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
payments or consideration in excess of $75.0 million, a letter from an Independent Financial
Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary
from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (a) of the preceding
paragraph;



          (b) The foregoing provisions shall not apply to the following:




     (1) transactions between or among the Issuers and/or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries;

     (2) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 1010 and the definition of “Permitted

delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such
transaction is fair to the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of
view or meets the requirements of Section 1013(a)(1);




     (5) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the
Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parents or any Restricted Subsidiary which are
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith;




     (6) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long
as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect) or
payments made thereunder or the performance thereof or any transaction contemplated thereby;




     (7) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiaries
of its obligations under the terms of, any equityholders agreement (including any
registration right agreement or purchase agreements related thereto) to which it is party as
of the Issue Date and any similar agreement that it may enter into thereafter; provided,
however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuers or any Restricted
Subsidiaries of its obligations under any future amendment to the equityholders’ agreement
or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted
under this clause (7) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement
are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respects;




     (8) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods
or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance
with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuers or
the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably
have been obtained at such time in arm’s-length negotiations with an unaffiliated third
party;




     (9) any transaction with the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or
similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or
a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted
Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity;




     (10) any purchases by the Issuers’ Affiliates of Indebtedness of the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries the majority of which Indebtedness is offered to Persons who are

clause (c) above on the property so acquired;

the Person, so acquired;




     (6) contracts for the sale of assets, including, without limitation, customary
restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement that has been entered
into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets
of such Subsidiary that impose restrictions on the assets to be sold;




     (7) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 1011
and 1012 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets securing such Indebtedness;




     (8) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under

     (9) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of Foreign Subsidiaries

guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor unless:




     (A) such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers within 10 business days
supplemental indentures in the form of Exhibit D hereto providing for a guarantee of
payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary, except if such Indebtedness is by its
express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s
Guarantee of the Notes, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to
such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Restricted Subsidiary’s
Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;




     (B) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its guarantee until payment in
full of the Obligations under this Indenture; and




     (C) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that:




     (1) such Guarantee of the Notes has been duly executed and authorized, and




     (2) such Guarantee of the Notes constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation,
all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof
is subject to general principles of equity;


provided that this Section 1015(a) shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted
Subsidiary:




-88-









 









     (x) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not
incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted
Subsidiary; or




     (y) of Senior Indebtedness and any refunding, refinancing or replacement thereof in
each case to the extent it is not incurred pursuant to a syndicated loan, registered
offering of securities under the Securities Act or a private placement of securities
(including under Rule 144A) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.



          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and the other provisions of this Indenture, any Guarantee by
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon:




     (A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of Capital Stock following
which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) or all or
substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer
is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture,

resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result
of payment under such guarantee,

otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases
to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively; or




     (D) if the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance
option as described under Article Thirteen hereof or if their obligations under this

          SECTION 1018. Asset Sales.



          (a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, cause or make an
Asset Sale of any assets that do not constitute Spectrum Assets, unless:




     (1) the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Company) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;




     (2) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuers or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or
Replacement Assets or a combination of the foregoing;




     (3) to the extent that any consideration received by the Issuers or a Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Sale constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or
class that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of
any Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are
concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes in the manner
and to the extent required in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents; and




     (4) the Net Proceeds from any such Asset Sale of Collateral is paid directly by the
purchaser thereof to the Collateral Agent to be held in trust in an Asset Sale Proceeds
Account for application in accordance with this Section 1018.



          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the above paragraph, the Issuers and the
Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to cause any Net Proceeds to be held in an Asset Sale
Proceeds Account in accordance with Section 1018(a)(4) except to the extent the aggregate Net
Proceeds from all Asset Sales of Collateral which are not held in an Asset Sale Proceeds Account,
or have not been previously applied in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs
relating to the application of Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of Collateral, exceed $25.0 million.



          Within 365 days after the Issuers’ or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of
any Asset Sale covered by this Section 1018(a), the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its
option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:




     (1) to make one or more offers to the Holders of the Notes (and, at the option of the
Issuers, the holders of Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations) to purchase Notes (and such Other
Pari Passu Lien Obligations)



-91-









 







pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture (each,
an “Asset Sale Offer”); provided, however, that if the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary
shall so reduce any Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, the Issuers shall make an offer to
all Holders of Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, the pro rata
principal amount of the Notes, such offer to be conducted in accordance with the procedures
set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer but without any further limitation in amount;




     (2) to an investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment
in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock such that it constitutes
a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in
each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar Business;




     (3) to an investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment
in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock such that it constitutes
a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and
(c), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;
or




     (4) to the extent such Net Proceeds are not from Asset Sales of Collateral, to
permanently reduce Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary
Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuers, a Subsidiary Guarantor or another
Restricted Subsidiary.



          Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales in accordance with clauses
(1) through (4) above that are not required to be held in an Asset Sale Proceeds Account, the
Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise apply
such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. Any binding commitment to apply
Net Proceeds to invest in accordance with clauses (2) or (3) above shall be treated as a permitted
application of Net Proceeds so long as the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such
commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such
commitment within 180 days of such commitment; provided that if such commitment is later canceled
or terminated for any reason such Net Proceeds shall constitute “Excess Proceeds” (as defined
below). Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales covered by this clause (a) that are not invested or
applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuers shall, make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders
of the Notes, and, at the Issuers’ option to the holders of any Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations,
to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, that
are $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer,
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuers shall commence an Asset
Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten business days after the date that Excess
Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such
Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess
Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (“Unutilized Excess Proceeds”) for any
purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes
or the Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of
Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the applicable agent or Issuers shall
select such Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the
accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations tendered.
Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at
zero. After the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary has applied the Net Proceeds from any Asset
Sale of any Collateral as provided in, and within the time periods required by, this paragraph (a),
any Unutilized Excess Proceeds shall be released by the Collateral Agent to the Issuers or such
Restricted Subsidiary for use by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary for any purpose not
prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.



-92-









 





          (b) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly consummate an Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets unless:




     (1) the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Company) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;




     (2) 100% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuers or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement
Assets or a combination of the foregoing; and




     (3) to the extent that any consideration received by the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale constitute Replacement Assets such Replacement Assets
including the assets of any Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of such
transaction, are concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the
Notes in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture or any of the Security
Documents.



          Within five Business Days after any Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets, the Company may designate
pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate all or a portion of the Net Proceeds therefrom for
reinvestment in the form of Replacement Assets (such Net Proceeds, “Specified Net Proceeds”).
Within 365 days after the Issuers’ or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of Specified Net Proceeds,
the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Specified Net Proceeds to purchase
Re-placement Assets; provided that during such 365 day period for reinvestments in Replacement
Assets such Specified Net Proceeds which are not used to purchase Replacement Assets shall be held
in the Asset Sale Proceeds Account and are only permitted to be withdrawn from such Asset Sale
Proceeds Account, within such 365 day reinvestment period, to pay the purchase price of any
Replacement Assets.



          Within 180 days after the Issuers’ or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of Net Proceeds from
an Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets that are not designated Specified Net Proceeds (“Non-Specified Net
Proceeds”), the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply up to 25% of the
Non-Specified Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets:




     (1) to make an investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such
investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of such
business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c)
acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar
Business; provided, further, that, to the extent such investment is of the type which would
constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, such investment is concurrently added to
the Collateral securing the Notes in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture
or any of the Security Documents; and/or




     (2) to make an investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such
investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of such
business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other
assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and assets that
are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided, further, that, to the extent such investment
is of the type which would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, such
investment is concurrently added to the Collateral securing the Notes in the manner and to
the extent required in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents.



          The remainder of the Non-Specified Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets covered
by this Section 1018(b) may be applied, at the option of the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary,
to purchase Replacement Assets within 180 days after the receipt by the Issuers or such Restricted
Subsidiary of the Non-Specified Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets; provided that
during such 180 day period for reinvestments in Replacement Assets any such remaining portion of
the Non-Specified Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets which are not used to purchase
Replacement Assets shall be held in the Asset Sale Proceeds Account and are only permitted to be
withdrawn from such Asset Sale Proceeds Account, within such 180 day reinvestment period, to pay
the purchase price of any Replacement Assets.



-93-









 





          Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of Spectrum Assets covered by this Section 1018(b) that are
not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth above shall be deemed to
constitute “Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds.” The Issuers may use Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of
Spectrum Assets covered by this clause (b) at any time to, to and when the aggregate amount of
Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million the Issuers shall, make an offer to all
Holders of the Notes, and, at the Issuers’ option, to the holders of any Other Pari Passu Lien
Obligations (a “Spectrum Assets Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of
Notes and such Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds at an offer
price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuers shall commence a Spectrum Assets Asset Sale
Offer with respect to Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds within ten business days after the date that
Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount
of Notes and such Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations tendered pursuant to a Spectrum Assets Asset
Sale Offer is less than the Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining
Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds (which shall also constitute “Unutilized Spectrum Assets Excess
Proceeds”) for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes or the Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations surrendered by such holders
thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes
and the applicable agent or Issuers shall select such Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations to be
purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such
Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations tendered. Upon completion of any such Spectrum Assets Asset Sale
Offer, the amount of Excess Spectrum Assets Proceeds shall be reset at zero. After the Issuers or
any Restricted Subsidiary has applied the Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale of Spectrum Assets as
provided in, and within the time periods required by, this paragraph (b), any Unutilized Spectrum
Assets Excess Proceeds shall be released by the Collateral Agent to the Issuers or such Restricted
Subsidiary for use by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary for any purpose not prohibited by
this Indenture.



          (c) For purposes of Section 1018(a) and (b), (i) any liabilities (other than Other Pari Passu
Lien Obligations and Indebtedness the repayment of which would constitute a Restricted Payment) (as
shown on the Issuers’, or such Restricted Subsidiary’s, most recent balance sheet or in the Notes
thereto) of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary that are assumed by the transferee of any such
assets and for which the Issuers and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all
creditors in writing; and (ii) any securities or other obligations received by the Issuers, a
Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the
Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or
Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale shall be deemed
to be cash or Cash Equivalents.



          (d) In addition for purposes of Section 1018(a), any Designated Noncash Consideration received
by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market
value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this
clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $200.0 million, with the fair market
value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, shall be deemed to be cash or Cash
Equivalents.



          (e) The Issuers 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 or regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or
Spectrum Assets Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

          SECTION 1019. [INTENTIONALY DELETED].



          SECTION 1020. Further Assurances and After-Acquired Property.



          (a) To the extent required under this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, the Issuers
and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements,
agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law,
or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and
perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created or intended to be
created by the Security Documents in the Collateral. In addition, to the extent required under
this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, from time to time, the Issuers shall promptly
secure the obligations under this Indenture, Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreement by
pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests and Liens
with respect to the Collateral perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents. Such
security interests and Liens shall be created under the Security Documents and other security
agreements and other instruments and documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, and the Issuers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Trustee all such instruments and
documents (including certificates, legal opinions, title insurance policies and lien searches) as
the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this covenant. The Issuers agree
to provide such evidence as the Trustee shall reasonably request as to the perfection (to the
extent required by the Security Documents) and priority status of each such security interest and
Lien.



          (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly following the acquisition by the Issuers or any
Subsidiary Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property, to the extent such After-Acquired Property is
of the type which would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, the Issuers or
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such deeds of trust, security instruments,
financing statements and certificates and opinions of counsel as shall be reasonably necessary to
cause such After-Acquired Property to be made subject to the Lien under the Security Documents in
the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents and shall
take all necessary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the Security
Documents to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such
After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral and
thereupon all provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents relating to the Collateral
shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same
force and effect.



          SECTION 1021. Information Regarding Collateral.



          (a) The Issuers shall furnish to the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Issuers or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, promptly (and in any event within 30 days of such change) written notice of
any change in such Person’s (i) name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation,
(iii) identity or corporate structure or (iv) Organizational Identification Number. The Issuers
and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the
preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise
that are required in the Security Documents in order for the Collateral to be made subject to the
Lien of the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required
by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents and shall take all necessary action so that such
Lien is perfected with the same priority as immediately prior to such change to the extent required
by the Security Documents. The Issuers also agree promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any
material portion of the Collateral is damaged, destroyed or condemned.



          (b) Each year, within 120 days after the end of the preceding fiscal year, the Issuers shall
deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a financial officer setting forth the information required
pursuant to the schedules required by the Security Documents or confirming that there has been no
change in such information since the date of the prior annual financial statements.



          SECTION 1022. Impairment of Security Interest.



          Subject to the rights of the holders of Permitted Liens, the Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any
action which action or omission



-95-









 







would reasonably be expected to have the result of materially
impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of Secured Parties,
subject to limited exceptions. The Company shall not amend, modify or supplement, or permit or
consent to any amendment, modification or supplement of, the Security Documents in any way that
would be adverse to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect, except as permitted by
Article Nine or Fourteen, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.



          SECTION 1023. Limitation on Lines of Business.



          The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any
business other than a Similar Business.



          SECTION 1024. Future Subsidiary Guarantors.



          The Issuers shall cause each Spectrum Entity that is a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary that
is formed or acquired following the Issue Date to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which such domestic wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally
Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest in respect of the Notes on a senior secured basis and all other obligations
under this Indenture.



          Each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor on or after the Issue Date
shall also become a party to the applicable Security Documents and shall as promptly as practicable
execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements and certificates and opinions
of counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date (but no
greater scope)) as may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a first-priority security
interest (subject to Permitted Liens or Permitted Spectrum Liens in the case of Spectrum Assets) in
the manner and to the extent set forth in the Security Documents and this Indenture in properties
and assets of the type constituting Collateral as security for the Notes or the Guarantees, and
thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to
such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.



          SECTION 1025. Suspension of Certain Covenants.



            (a) During any period of time that: (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both
Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the
occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively
referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall
not be subject to 1010, 1011, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1016, 1024 hereof, and clause (4) of Section 801
hereof (the “Suspended Covenants”).



            (b) In the event that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the
Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and
on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw
their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment
Grade Rating then the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject
to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture. The period of time between the Covenant
Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period”.



            (c) On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred
stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 1011(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 1011(b) (to the extent such
Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock would be permitted to be incurred or issued
thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued
prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such
Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock would not be so permitted to be incurred or
issued pursuant to the Section 1011(a) or Section 1011(b), such Indebtedness or Disqualified
Stock or preferred stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is
classified as permitted under Section 1011(b)(2). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of
the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 1010 will be made as though
Section 1010 had been in effect since the Issue



-96-









 







Date and throughout the Suspension Period.
Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount
available to be made as Restricted Payments under the Section 1010(b). As described above,
however, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of the

the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased or redeemed.



          A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased or unredeemed portion of any Note
purchased or redeemed in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation
of the original Note. On and after the purchase or redemption date, unless the Issuers default in
payment of the purchase or redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions
thereof purchased or called for redemption.



          SECTION 1105. Notice of Redemption.



          Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 106 not less than 30

Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the
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 interest thereon will cease
to accrue on and after said date,

Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,

the Redemption Price,




     (9) the CUSIP number, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or

the Issuers or, at the Issuers’ request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Issuers.



          SECTION 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price.



          Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Issuers are acting as their 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, if any, on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.



          SECTION 1107. Notes Payable on Redemption Date.



          Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with
accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date)(except as provided in Section 1101(e)), and from
and after such date (unless the Issuers 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, such Note shall be paid by the Issuers at the Redemption
Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; 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 Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 307.



          If any Note called for redemption 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.



          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 the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002 (with, if the Issuers or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the




-99-












 




Issuers and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuers shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver 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.




ARTICLE TWELVE




GUARANTEES




          SECTION 1201. Guarantees.




          Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Issuers hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to
each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of
such Holder, that: (a) 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, without
limitation, 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 Issuers to
the Holders, Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) 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 (a) and (b)
above, to the limitation set forth in Section 1205 hereof.




          Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees 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 Holder with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any
judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.




          Each Subsidiary 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 Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Issuers or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the
Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Guarantee. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of
collection. Each of the Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor. Each Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder, upon
demand therefor, 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 Issuers or
any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to either the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the
Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent
theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
further agrees that, as between each Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee on the other hand, (x) subject to this Article Twelve, the Maturity of the obligations



-100-









 






guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of the
Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) 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 Subsidiary
Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor.




          Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any
petition be filed by or against the Issuers for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuers
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 Issuers’ 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.




          SECTION 1202. Severability.




          In case any provision of any 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.




          SECTION 1203. Restricted Subsidiaries.





          (a) The Issuers shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary required to guarantee payment of
the Notes pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 1015 to (i) execute and deliver to
the Trustee any amendment or supplement to this Indenture in accordance with the provisions
of Article Nine of this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted 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 Issuers under 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
a senior secured basis, (ii) deliver to such Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Trustee to the effect that such amendment or supplement has been duly
executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and is in compliance with the terms of
this Indenture and (iii) execute and deliver a supplement or such comparable documentation to
become a Grantor to the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents and to take all
actions to cause the Lien created by the Security Documents to be duly perfected to the
extent required by such agreement. Upon the execution of any such amendment or supplement,
the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors and any such Restricted Subsidiary under their
respective Guarantees shall become joint and several and each reference to the “Subsidiary
Guarantor” in this Indenture shall, subject to Section 1208, be deemed to refer to all
Subsidiary Guarantors, including such Restricted Subsidiary. Such Guarantee shall be
released in accordance with Section 803 and Section 1015(b).



          SECTION 1204. Ranking of Guarantee.




          The Guarantee issued by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be a senior obligation of such
Subsidiary Guarantor and will be secured by a first-priority lien on the Collateral owned by such
Subsidiary Guarantor. The Guarantees shall: (a) rank equally in right of payment with all existing
and future Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) be senior in right of payment to
all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of each Subsidiary Guarantor, and (c) be
structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary
Guarantor that do not Guarantee the Notes.




-101-









 








          SECTION 1205. Limitation of Subsidiary Guarantors’ Liability.




          Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its
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 Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be
limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or
payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to this Section 1205, result in the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer
or conveyance.




          SECTION 1206. Contribution.




          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Subsidiary Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any
Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Subsidiary Guarantor”) under a Guarantee, such Funding Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Subsidiary Guarantors in a pro rata
amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including
the Funding Subsidiary Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding
Subsidiary Guarantor in discharging the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
“Adjusted Net Assets” of such Subsidiary Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of (x) the
amount by which the fair value of the property of such Subsidiary Guarantor exceeds the total
amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect
to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding
liabilities under the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor at such date and (y) the amount by
which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor at such date
exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Subsidiary 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 Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as they
become absolute and matured.




          SECTION 1207. Subrogation.




          Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuers in
respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 1201;
provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary
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 Issuers under this Indenture or
the Notes shall have been paid in full.




          SECTION 1208. Reinstatement.




          Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor
shall agree) that the 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 Issuers upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor.




          SECTION 1209. Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.




          Concurrently with the discharge of the Notes under Section 401, the Legal Defeasance of the
Notes under Section 1302 hereof, or the Covenant Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1303 hereof,
the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from all their obligations under their Guarantees under
this Article Twelve. Any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all its obligations under its
Guarantee in accordance with Section 803 and Section 1015(b).




-102-









 








          SECTION 1210. Benefits Acknowledged.




          Each Subsidiary 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 Guarantees under this Article Twelve.




ARTICLE THIRTEEN




DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE




          SECTION 1301. Issuers’ Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.




          The Issuers may, at its option by Board Resolution, 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 Issuers’ exercise under Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1302,
each of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
respective obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth
in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal
Defeasance means that each of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, 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 (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(A) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of
(and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, solely out of the
trust described in Section 1304, (B) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under
Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and
immunities of the Trustee and Collateral Agent hereunder, and the obligations of each of the
Issuers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (D) this Article
Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Issuers may exercise their 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 Issuers’ exercise under Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1303,
each of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from its respective obligations
under any covenant contained in Sections 801, 802 and in Sections 1005, 1006, 1007, 1009 through
1022 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 Issuers or any Subsidiary
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 an Event of Default under Sections 501(3), 501(4), 501(5) and
501(7) and, with respect to only any Significant Subsidiary and not the Issuers, Section 501(6),
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected
thereby.

          SECTION 1304. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.




          The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to
the Outstanding Notes:





     (1) The Issuers shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in
trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of such Notes; (A) cash in U.S.
dollars, or (B) non-callable Government Securities, or (C) a combination thereof, in such
amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent

pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee)
to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding
Notes on the Stated Maturity (or Redemption Date, if applicable) of such principal (and
premium, if any or, interest due on the Notes; provided that the Trustee shall have been
irrevocably instructed to apply such cash or the proceeds of such Government Securities to
said payments with respect to the Notes. Before such a deposit, the Issuers may give to the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 1103 hereof, a notice of their 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;

such Opinion of Counsel in the United States 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 Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes

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 or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to
be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;




     (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be
applied to make such deposit) under any other material agreement or instrument (other than
this Indenture) to which, the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the
Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound;




     (6) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions
following the deposit, the



-104-









 







trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
under any applicable U.S. Federal or state law;




     (7) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor or others;
and




     (8) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided
for or 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 “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in
respect of the Outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal (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 Issuers shall pay and indemnify the 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 Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon Issuer Request any money or Government Securities held
by it as provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect
an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, 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 Issuers’ and
each Subsidiary 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, 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 Issuers makes
any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note following the
reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers 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 FOURTEEN




SECURITY




          SECTION 1401. Collateral and Security Documents.





          (a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when and
as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by
acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of
and interest on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents and Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations,
according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Security
Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the obligations. The Trustee and
the Issuers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in
trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in each case pursuant to the terms of the
Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of
the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release
and foreclosure of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to
time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the
Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and
exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith; provided, however, that if any of the
provisions of the Security Documents limit, qualify or conflict with the duties imposed by
the provisions of the TIA, the TIA shall control. The Issuers shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent copies of all documents pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or
cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence
of this Section 1401, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in
the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from
time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of
this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein
expressed. The Issuers shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries of the Issuers to, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the
Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations and Other Pari
Passu Lien Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected (to the extent required by the
Security Documents) Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral, in favor of
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Issuers shall, and shall
cause the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Issuers to, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, make
all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to financing
statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such financing statements)
and take all other actions as are necessary or required by the Security Documents to maintain
(at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors) the security
interest created by the Security Documents in the Collateral (other than with respect to any
Collateral the security interest in which is not required to be perfected under the Security
Documents) as a perfected security interest and subject only to Permitted Liens.



          SECTION 1402. Recordings and Opinions.




          (a) To the extent applicable, the Issuers will cause TIA § 313(b), relating to reports, to be
complied with. The Issuer shall not be required to comply with TIA § 314.




          (b) Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 1403 hereof will be deemed not to impair
the Liens under this Indenture, the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents in
contravention thereof.




          SECTION 1403. Release of Collateral.




          Subject to Sections 1402(b) and 1404 hereof, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes
will automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released:





     (1)  in whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any portion of property subject
to such Liens which has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar
circumstances;



-106-









 






     (2) in whole upon:




     (A) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth below under Article 4; or




     (B) a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture as described
above under Article 13;




(3)  in part, as to any property that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of by the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Issuers
or another Subsidiary Guarantor) in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture
at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition or (b) is owned or at any time
acquired by a Subsidiary Guarantor that has been released from its Subsidiary
Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, concurrently with the release of such
Subsidiary Guarantee in each case as certified by an Officer’s Certificate;




(4)  in part, as to any Collateral of a Restricted Subsidiary that is designated as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary in a transaction or other circumstance that complies
with the provisions of this Indenture and other relevant provisions of any other
Secured Debt Documents, at the time such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary; and




(5)  in part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Security
Documents.



          SECTION 1404. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]




          SECTION 1405. Suits to Protect the Collateral.




          Subject to the provisions of Article Six hereof and the Security Documents, the Trustee in its
sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may, and upon
direction of a majority of Holders shall, direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems
necessary or appropriate in order to:




          (a) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and




          (b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations
hereunder.




          Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee shall have power to institute
and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of
the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents
or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may deem
expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral
(including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or
compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment,
rule or order would impair the Lien on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the
Holders or the Trustee). Nothing in this Section 1405 shall be considered to impose any such duty
or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee.




          SECTION 1406. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security
Documents.




          Subject to the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive
any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make
further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.




          SECTION 1407. Purchase Protected.




          In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released
hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the
release or to inquire as to the




-107-









 







satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such
authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other
transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this
Article Fourteen to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of
the Issuers or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.




          SECTION 1408. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.




          In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully
appointed, the powers conferred in this Article Fourteen upon the Issuers or a Subsidiary Guarantor
with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such
receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the
equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuers or a Subsidiary Guarantor or of any officer or
officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article Fourteen; and if the Trustee shall be
in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be
exercised by the Trustee.




          SECTION 1409. Release upon Termination of the Issuers’ Obligations.




          In the event that the Issuers deliver to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to it, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of,
together with accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) on, the Notes and
all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that are due
and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are
paid or (ii) the Issuers shall have exercised their Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant
Defeasance option, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Article Thirteen, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Issuers and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf
of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral (other
than with respect to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Article Thirteen), and any rights it has
under the Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the
Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and
shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon as is
reasonably practicable.




          SECTION 1410. Collateral Agent.




          (a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and
appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Agreement and the
Security Documents and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions
of this Indenture, the Security Agreement and the Security Documents and to exercise such powers
and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this
Indenture, the Security Agreement and the Security Documents, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express
conditions contained in this Section 1410. The provisions of this Section 1410 are solely for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor the Issuers or any
of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 1403. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Agreement and the
Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Indenture, the Security Agreement and the Security Documents or otherwise exist against
the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the
term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall have and may
use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary
rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Collateral Agent is expressly
entitled to take or assert under this Indenture, the Security Agreement and the Security Documents,
including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article Five, and any action so taken or not taken
shall be deemed consented to by the Trustee and the Holders.




-108-









 








          (b) The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Indenture or the Security
Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, employee or attorney-in-fact that it
selects as long as such selection was made with due care.




          (c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its agents or employees shall (i) be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or
the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or
under or in connection with the Security Agreement or any Security Document or the transactions
contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be
responsible in any manner to the Trustee or any Holder or any other Person for any recital,
statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, contained in this or any Indenture, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection
with, this or any other Indenture, the Security Agreement or the Security Documents, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this or any other Indenture,
the Security Agreement or the Security Documents, or for any failure of the Issuers or any
Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Agreement or the Security
Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any
of its agents or employees shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder or any other
Person to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this or any other Indenture, the Security Agreement or the Security
Documents or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor.




          (d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile,
telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuers or
any Subsidiary Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Indenture or any other indenture or the Security Documents unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests,
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders or the Applicable Authorized
Representative against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or any other indenture or
the Security Documents in accordance with a request or consent of the Trustee or the Applicable
Authorized Representative and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of the Holders or any other Person.




          (e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice
from the Trustee or the Issuers referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in
accordance with Article Five (subject to Section 1410); provided, however, that unless and until
the Collateral Agent has received any such request, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.




          (f) Wilmington Trust FSB and its Affiliates (and any successor Collateral Agent and its
Affiliates) may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting, or other business with the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors as though it was not
the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Trustee. The Trustee and
the Holders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wilmington Trust FSB or its Affiliates
(and any successor Collateral Agent and its Affiliates) may receive information regarding the
Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors) and acknowledge that the
Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation




-109-









 







to provide such information to the Trustee or the Holders. Nothing herein shall impose
or imply any obligation on the part of Wilmington Trust FSB (or any successor Collateral Agent) to
advance funds.




          (g) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the Trustee and the Issuers, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor
agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this
Indenture, the Trustee, subject to the consent of the Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), shall appoint a
successor Collateral Agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended
effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation),
the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Trustee, subject to the consent of the
Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a
continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is
appointed and consented to by the Issuers pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30)
days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition at the expense of the Issuers a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers
and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such
successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as
the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this Section 1410 (and Section 1411) shall continue to inure to its
benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be
released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Collateral Agent under this Indenture.




          (h) The Trustee shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint
co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided
herein or in the Security Documents, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any
of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other
action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own willful misconduct, gross
negligence or bad faith.




          (i) The Trustee, as such and as Collateral Agent, is authorized and directed to (i) enter into
the Security Agreement and the Security Documents, (ii) enter into an Intercreditor Agreement,
(iii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Agreement, and the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) perform and observe its obligations under the
Security Agreement and the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.




          (j) The Trustee agrees that it shall not (and shall not be obliged to), and shall not instruct
the Collateral Agent to, unless specifically requested to do so by a majority of the Holders, take
or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Indenture or against the Issuers
and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to
foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.




          If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or
otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising
under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the
Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from
the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article
Five, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such
endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent.




          (k) Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the
Issuers, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral
Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal
with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.




-110-









 








          (l) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the
Holders or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the
Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine
whether all of the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien
and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or
delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof
or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document,
it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event
related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole
discretion given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral, and that the Collateral
Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder or any other
Person as to any of the foregoing.




          (m) No provision of this Indenture, the Security Agreement or any Security Document shall
require the Collateral Agent (or 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 thereunder or to take
or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction
of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.




          (n) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, or for any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the
Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) shall not be
liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing
with the Issuers (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law), and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection
and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete
authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by
it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of
permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.




          (o) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Issuers and
Subsidiary Guarantors owing to the Collateral Agent shall remain in full force and effect and all
of the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections, indemnities and immunities granted hereunder shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture so long as the Security Agreement to which
the Collateral Agent is a party remains effective and outstanding.




          (p) The Collateral Agent is hereby directed to open and maintain at such times and in such
manner as may be administratively beneficial or as required under the terms of this Indenture or
other Note Document, the Asset Sale Proceeds Account and such other collateral accounts, to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, as may be
required to fulfill its obligations under the Note Documents.




          SECTION 1411. Compensation and Indemnification.




          The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the compensation, reimbursement of expenses,
disbursements and advances, and indemnification set forth in Section 607 (with the references to
the Trustee therein being deemed to refer to the Collateral Agent).




          SECTION 1412. Security Agreement and Other Security Documents.




          The Trustee and Collateral Agent is each hereby directed and authorized to execute and deliver
the Security Agreement and any other Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreement in which it is
named as a party. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for
the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency




-111-









 







thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or
taking (or forbearing from) any action under or pursuant to the Security Agreement, any other
Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and Collateral Agent each shall have
all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture
(in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or
agreements).

          SECTION 1501. Relative Rights.




          Nothing in this Indenture or any Intercreditor Agreement will:





     (a) impair, as between the Issuers and Holders, the obligation of the Issuers, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest on such Notes in
accordance with their terms or to perform any other obligation of the Issuers or any
Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and any Security
Documents;




     (b) restrict the right of any Holder to sue for payments that are then due and owing,
in a manner not inconsistent with the provisions of an Intercreditor Agreement;

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]




CLEARWIRE COMMUNICATIONS LLC

and

CLEARWIRE FINANCE, INC.




12% Senior Secured Note due 2015




1. Principal and Interest; Subordination.




          The Issuers will pay the principal of this Note on December 1, 2015.




          The Issuers promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest
Payment Date, as set forth below, at the rate of 12% per annum (subject to adjustment as provided
below).




          Interest will be payable semi-annually (to the Holders of record of the Notes (or any
Predecessor Notes)) at the close of business on June 1 or December 1 immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing June 1, 2010.




          Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or, if no interest has been paid, from June 1, 2010; provided that, if there is no existing default
in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred
to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from
such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.




          The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on
overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate per annum equal to the rate of
interest applicable to the Notes.




2. Method of Payment.




          The Issuers will pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the Notes
on each June 1 and December 1 to the Persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at
the close of business on May 15 and June 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in
each case, even if the Note is cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange
after such Regular Record Date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the
Issuers will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Note to any Paying Agent on or after
December 1, 2015.




          The Issuers will pay principal (premium, if any) and interest in money of the United States
that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the
Issuers may pay principal (premium, if any) and interest by its check payable in such money. The
Issuers may pay interest on the Notes either (a) by mailing a check for such interest to a Holder’s
registered address (as reflected in the Note Register) or (b) by wire transfer to an account
located in the United States maintained by the payee. If a payment date is a date other than a
Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day
that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.




3. Paying Agent and Note Registrar.




          Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Note Registrar. The Issuers may change
any Paying Agent or Note Registrar upon written notice thereto. The Issuers, any Subsidiary or any
Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or co-registrar.

4. Indenture; Limitations.




          The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 24, 2009 (the
“Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee
(the “Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). Capitalized terms herein are used
as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. 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. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the
Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture,
the terms of the Indenture shall control.




          The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes.




5. Redemption.




          Optional Redemption. Except as described below, the Notes are not redeemable at the
Issuers’ option until December 1, 2012. From and after December 1, 2012, the Issuers may redeem
the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by first
class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of
such Holder appearing in the Note Register at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but
excluding the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the
twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of each of the years indicated below:




	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Percentage      
	2012
	 	 	106.000	%
	2013
	 	 	103.000	%
	2014 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%






          In addition, prior to December 1, 2012, the Issuers may, at their option, redeem up to 35% of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to
112.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the net
proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings of the Issuers or any direct or indirect parent of the
Issuers to the extent such net proceeds are contributed to the Issuers; provided that at least 65%
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture remains
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each
such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.




          At any time prior to the final maturity date of the Notes, the Issuers may also redeem all or
a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by

Company, the “Issuers”) and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee and as collateral agent under the
Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).




W I T N E S S E T H




          WHEREAS, the Issuers have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the
“Indenture”), dated as of November 24, 2009 providing for the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Notes
due 2015 (the “Notes”);




          WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ Obligations under the
Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and




          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture.




          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the
Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes
as follows:




          1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.




          2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:





     (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby becomes a party to the Indenture as a Subsidiary
Guarantor and as such will have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations
and agreements of a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary
agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of the Indenture applicable to a Subsidiary
Guarantor and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a Subsidiary Guarantor
under the Indenture.




     (b) The Guaranteeing subsidiary agrees, on a joint and several basis with all the
existing Subsidiary Guarantors, to fully, unconditionally and irrevocably Guarantee to each
