than Non-Recourse Debt;


 


(2)                                  except as permitted by Section 4.11,
is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company unless the terms of any
such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at
the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company;


 


(3)                                  is a Person with respect to which
neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or
indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests or (b) to
maintain or preserve such Person’s net worth; and


 


(4)                                  has not guaranteed or

Restricted Subsidiaries may guarantee the performance of Unrestricted

Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the
Trustee a certified copy of the board resolution giving effect to such
designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07
hereof.  If, at any time, any
Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary for purposes of this Supplemental Indenture and any Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be
incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in
default of such Section 4.09.  The
Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided,
that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such
Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro
forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the
four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default
would be in existence following such designation.

Act.

that is at the time entitled to vote in the election of the Board of Directors
of such Person.

Life to Maturity” means, when applied to any Indebtedness at any
date, the number of years obtained by dividing:


 


(1)                                  the sum of the products
obtained by multiplying (a) the amount of each then remaining installment,
sinking fund, serial maturity or other required payments of principal,
including payment at 


 


23

















 


final maturity, in respect of the Indebtedness, by (b) the number
of years, calculated to the nearest one-twelfth, that will elapse between such
date and the making of such payment; by


 


(2)                                  the then outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto.  The Notes may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage.  Each Note will be dated the date

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental
Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution
and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby. 
However, to the

extent any provision of any
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the
provisions of the Note will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any
provision of the Note conflicts with the express provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture will
govern and be controlling.


 


(b)                                 Global
Notes.  Notes issued in global form
will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto
(including the Global Note Legend thereon). 
Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon).  Each Global Note will represent such of the
outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each will provide that it
will represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to
time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian,
at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the
Holder thereof as  required by Section 2.06 hereof.


 


Section 2.02                            Execution
and Authentication.


 


One Officer will sign the Notes for the Company and
the Guarantees for the Guarantors by manual or facsimile signature or a
signature by the means of an electronic transmission (including a pdf.).  If an Officer whose signature is on a Note
and/or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time such Note and/or
Guarantee is authenticated, such Note and/or Guarantee will nevertheless be
valid.


 


A Note and/or a Guarantee will not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note or Guarantee, as applicable, has been authenticated under this
Supplemental Indenture.


 


The Trustee will, upon a written order of the
Company signed by one Officer (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate Notes and Guarantees for original issue in
accordance with this Supplemental Indenture, including any Additional Notes
issued pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof.


 


The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes and Guarantees whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Supplemental Indenture
to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights
as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 2.03                            Registrar
and Paying Agent.


 


The Company will maintain an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying
Agent”).  The Registrar will
keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar” includes any
co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying
agent.  The Company may change any Paying
Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Company will notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Supplemental
Indenture.  If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
will act as such.  The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) to act as
Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.


 


The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as
the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the
Global Notes.

Section 2.04                            Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust.


 


The Company will require each Paying Agent other
than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust
for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and
will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment.  While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee.  The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability
for the money.  If the Company or a Subsidiary
acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for
the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for
the Notes.


 


Section 2.05                            Holder
Lists.


 


The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of all Holders and will otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each
interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company will
otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).


 


Section 2.06                            Transfer
and Exchange.


 


(a)                                  Transfer
and Exchange of Global Notes.  A Global Note may not be transferred as a
whole except 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 to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary.  All Global
Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:


 


(1)                                  the Company
delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or
unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing
agency registered
under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the
Depositary; or


 


(2)                                  the Company in its sole discretion
determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the
Trustee.


 


Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding
events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes will be issued in such names
and in any approved denominations as the Depositary will instruct the
Trustee.  Global Notes also may be
exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and
2.10 hereof.  Every Note authenticated
and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion
thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10
hereof, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a
Global Note.  A Global Note may not be
exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a),
however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged
as provided in Sections 2.06(b), (c) or (g) hereof.


 


(b)                                 Transfer
and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the
Applicable Procedures.  Transfers of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either
subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the
other following subparagraphs, as applicable:


 


(1)                                  Transfer
of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.  Beneficial interests in any Global Note may
be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in a 


 


27

















 


Global
Note.  No written orders or instructions
will be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers
described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).


 


(2)                                  All
Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.   In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above,
the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar
either:


 


(A)                              (i) a
written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the
Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the
Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another
Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or
exchanged; and  (ii) instructions
given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding
the Participant account to be credited with such increase.


 


Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for
transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this
Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the
Securities Act, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant
Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof.


 


(c)                                  Transfer or
Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.  If any holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note
or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof
in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(b)(2) hereof,
the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global
Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the
Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the
Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate
principal amount.  Any Definitive Note
issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) will
be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or
denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through
instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the
Participant or Indirect Participant.  The
Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such
Notes are so registered.


 


(d)                                 Transfer and
Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests.  A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange
such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such
Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time.  Upon receipt of a request for such an
exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note
and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of
the Global Notes.


 


If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive
Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous paragraph at
a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and,
upon receipt of the Company’s order, the Trustee will authenticate one or more
Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
Definitive Notes so transferred.


 


A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes
to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note.


 


(e)                                  Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes.  Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes
and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the
Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes.  Prior to such registration of transfer or
exchange, the requesting Holder will present or surrender to the Registrar the
Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or
by his attorney, duly authorized in writing. 
In addition, the requesting Holder will provide any additional
certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to
the following provisions of this Section 2.06(e).


 


(f)                                    Legends.  The
following legends will appear on the face of all Global Notes issued under this
Supplemental Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable
provisions of this Supplemental Indenture.

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.

(1)                                  To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the
Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company’s
order or at the Registrar’s request.


 


(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 Company 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 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).


 


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


 


29

















 


(4)                                  All Global
Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Supplemental Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive
Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


(5)                                  The Company
will not be required:


 


(A)                              to issue, to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period of 15 days
before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02
hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;


 


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


 


(C)                                to register the
transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the 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 Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes,
and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company will be affected by notice to
the contrary.


 


(7)                                  The Trustee
will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.


 


(8)                                  All
certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted
to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of
transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or electronic transmission
(including a pdf.).


 


(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 Supplemental
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest
in any 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 Supplemental Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof.


 


(10)                            Neither the
Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or
not taken by the Depositary.


 


Section 2.07                            Replacement
Notes.


 


If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note
if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  An indemnity bond must be supplied
by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company
to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that
any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge for
its expenses in replacing a Note.


 


Every replacement Note is an additional obligation
of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Supplemental
Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.


 


30

















 


Section 2.08                            Outstanding
Notes.


 


The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note
effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those
described in this Section as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in
Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.


 


If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory
to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.


 


If the principal amount of any Note is considered
paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest
on it ceases to accrue.


 


If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or
maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and
after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will
cease to accrue interest.


 


Section 2.09                            Treasury
Notes.


 


In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company,
will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.


 


Section 2.10                            Temporary
Notes.


 


Until certificates representing Notes are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes
will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as will be
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the
Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in
exchange for temporary Notes.


 


Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all
of the benefits of this Supplemental Indenture.


 


Section 2.11                            Cancellation.


 


The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the
Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to
the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and will return such canceled Notes to the Company.  The Company may not issue
new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.12                            Defaulted
Interest.


 


If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on
the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest
payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes
and in Section 4.01 hereof.  The Company will 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.  The Company will fix or cause to be
fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date
will be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted
interest.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company
(or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at
the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed


 


31

















 


to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such
interest to be paid.


 


Section 2.13                            CUSIP
Number.


 


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


 


Section 2.14                            Issuance
of Additional Notes.


 


The Company will be entitled, upon delivery of an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, subject to its compliance with
Section 4.09 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Supplemental
Indenture which will have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the
date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue
price.  The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional
Notes issued will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this
Supplemental Indenture.


 


With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company
will set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officer’s
Certificate, a copy of each which will be delivered to the Trustee, the
following information:


 


(a)                                  the aggregate
principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered
pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture; and


 


(b)                                 the issue price, the issue date and the
CUSIP number of such Additional Notes.

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT


 


Section 3.01                            Notice
to Trustee.


 


If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to
the redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it will furnish to the
Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date,
an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:


 


(i)                                     the provision of this Supplemental Indenture
pursuant to which the redemption will occur;


 


(ii)                                  the Redemption Date;


 


(iii)                               the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed;


 


(iv)                              the redemption price; and


 


(v)                                 the CUSIP numbers of the Notes to be redeemed.


 


Section 3.02                            Selection
of Notes to Be Redeemed.


 


If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at
any time, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of
the Notes (a) in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, (b) if
the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata
basis (unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or
depositary requirements).  In the event of partial


 


32

















 


redemption by lot, the
particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.


 


The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in
writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed.  Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of
$2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of
the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of
Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, will be
redeemed.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of
this Supplemental Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.


 


Section 3.03                            Notice
of Redemption.


 


At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
Redemption Date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class
mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at
its registered address.


 


The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed,
including the CUSIP numbers, and will state:


 


(1)                                  the Redemption
Date;


 


(2)                                  the redemption
price;


 


(3)                                  if any Note is
being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be
redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new
Note or Notes in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of
the Holder of such Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;


 


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


 


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


 


(6)                                  that, unless
the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;


 


(7)                                  the paragraph
of the Notes and/or Section of this Supplemental Indenture pursuant to
which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and


 


(8)                                  that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number,
if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.


 


At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the
notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided,  however,
that the Company will have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to
the Redemption Date (or such shorter period as the Trustee in its sole
discretion may allow), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee
give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice
as provided in the preceding paragraph.


 


Section 3.04                            Effect
of Notice of Redemption.


 


Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance
with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably
due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price.  A notice
of redemption may not be conditional.


 


33
















 


Section 3.05                            Deposit
of Redemption Price.


 


One Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that
date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in
excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.


 


If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
the portions of Notes called for redemption.  If a Note is redeemed on or
after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment
date, then any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose
name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record
date.  If any Note called for redemption will not be so paid upon
surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with
the preceding paragraph, interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, from
the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.


 


Section 3.06                            Notes
Redeemed in Part.


 


Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company will
issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee will authenticate
for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal
amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.


 


No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.


 


Section 3.07                            Optional
Redemption.


 


(a)                                  At any time prior to September 1,
2012, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem, in whole or in
part, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including
Additional Notes of the same class, if any, issued under this Supplemental
Indenture at a redemption price of par plus the stated interest rate, or
107.375% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), with the net
cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided, that:


 


(1)                                  at least 65% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes of the
same class, if any, issued under this Supplemental Indenture remains
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, excluding
Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries; and


 


(2)                                  the redemption
occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.


 


(b)                                 At any time prior to September 1,
2014, the Company, at its option, may on one or more occasions redeem all or a
part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior
notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date.


 


(c)                                  Except pursuant to clauses (a) and
(b) above, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior
to September 1, 2014.


 


(d)                                 On or after September 1,
2014, the Company, at its option, may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices,
expressed as percentages of principal amount, set forth below, plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable Redemption Date, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 1 of the

Section 3.08                            Mandatory
Redemption.


 


The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments with respect to the Notes.


 


Section 3.09                            Offer
to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.


 


In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is
required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it will follow the procedures
specified below.


 


The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days
following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer
period is required by applicable law (the “Offer
Period”).  No later than five Business Days after the
termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase
Date”), the Company will purchase the principal amount of Notes and
such other pari passu
Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the
“Offer Amount”) or, if less than
the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in
response to the Asset Sale Offer.  Payment for any Notes so purchased will
be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.


 


If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or
before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will
be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.


 


Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by
first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders.  The
notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such
Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The Asset Sale
Offer will be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the Notes
containing similar provisions to those set forth in this Supplemental Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of
assets.  The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer,
will state:


 


(1)                                  that the Asset
Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10
hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;


 


(2)                                  the Offer
Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;


 


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


 


(4)                                  that, unless
the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the
Purchase Date;


 


(5)                                  that Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may only
elect to have all of such Note purchased and may not elect to have only a
portion of such Note purchased;


 


(6)                                  that Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be
required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry
transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a
Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before
the Purchase Date;


 


35

















 


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


 


(8)                                  that, if the
aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount,
the Company will select the Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and
other pari passu Indebtedness
surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company
so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof, will be purchased); and


 


(9)                                  that Holders
whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or
transferred by book-entry transfer).


 


On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful,
accept for payment, on a pro rata
basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has
been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for
payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. 
The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will
promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date)
mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price
of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase,
and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written
request from the Company will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to
such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.  Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof.  The Company will publicly
announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.


 


Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any
purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 will be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.  Upon completion of each
Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

Section 4.01                            Payment
of Notes.


 


The Company or a Guarantor will pay or cause to be
paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates
and in the  manner
provided in the Notes.  Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company
or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due
date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and
designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and
interest then due.


 


The Company or a Guarantor will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at
the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent
lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the
same rate to the extent lawful.


 


Section 4.02                            Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in


 


36

















 


respect of the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture
may be served.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency.  If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required
office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.


 


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


 


The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03
hereof.


 


Section 4.03                            Reports.


 


(a)                                  Whether or not the Company
is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes
are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Notes or cause the
Trustee to furnish to the Holders of Notes (or file with the SEC for public
availability) within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
regulations:


 


(1)                                  all quarterly
and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a
filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file
such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information
only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent
registered public accountants (which will be firm(s) of established
national reputation); and


 


(2)                                  all current
reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the
Company were required to file such reports.


 


In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations
of the SEC, the Company will file a copy of all such information and reports
referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public
availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
regulations, unless the SEC will not accept such a filing, and make such
information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon
request.  The Company will at all times comply with TIA Section 314(a). 
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such will not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).


 


(b)                                 For so long as any Notes
remain outstanding, the Company and the Guarantors will furnish to the 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.


 


(c)                                  If the Company
is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act
for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports
specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03 with the SEC
within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a
filing.  The Company agrees that it will
not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC
will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the
reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time
periods that would apply if it was required to file those reports with the SEC.

Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) will
deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an
Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company
and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the
Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this
Supplemental Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing
such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in
this Supplemental Indenture and is not in default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Supplemental
Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default will have occurred, describing
all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge
and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto)
and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains
in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or
interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a
description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto.


 


(b)                                 So long as not contrary to
the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above
will be accompanied by a written statement of the Company’s independent
registered public accountants (who will be a firm of established national
reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such
financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them
to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5
hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period
of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants will not be
liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge
of any such violation.


 


(c)                                  The Company will, so long as
any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible,

or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto.

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay,
prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies
except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or
where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect
to the Holders of the Notes.


 


Section 4.06                            Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws.


 


The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension
or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture; and the
Company and each of the Guarantors (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, by resort to any such law, 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 has been
enacted.


 


Section 4.07                            Restricted
Payments.


 


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

(iii)                               make any
payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise

that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees (excluding
any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated
Maturity of such Indebtedness; provided, that
this restriction does not apply to a purchase, redemption or defeasance made in
anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or
final maturity, in each case due within one year of date of such purchase,
redemption or defeasance; or


 


(iv)                              make any
Restricted

giving effect to such Restricted Payment:


 


(a)                                  no Default or Event of
Default will have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence of
such Restricted Payment; and


 


(b)                                 the Company would, at the
time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if
such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the
first paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof; and


 


(c)                                  Restricted Payment, together
with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after August 10, 1998, excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses
(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) and (x) of the next succeeding paragraph, is
less than the sum, without duplication, of:

Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting
period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing August 10,
1998 to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted
Payment, or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less
100% of such deficit, plus


 


(ii)                                  100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds

1998 as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale
of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), or from the
issue or sale of Disqualified Stock or debt securities of the Company that have
been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests, other than Equity
Interests, Disqualified Stock or debt securities sold to a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, plus


 


(iii)                               to the extent
not already included in Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period
and without duplication,
any Restricted Investment that was made by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries after August 10, 1998 is sold for cash or otherwise
liquidated or repaid for cash, or any Unrestricted Subsidiary which is
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary subsequent to August 10, 1998 is
sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or redesignated as a
Restricted Subsidiary, 100% of the cash return of capital with respect to such
Restricted Investment or Unrestricted Subsidiary, less the cost of disposition,
if any plus 50% of the excess of the fair market value of the Company’s
Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation
over the amount of the Restricted Investment that reduced this clause (c); provided, that any amounts that increase
this clause (c) will not duplicatively increase amounts available as
Permitted Investments.

(x)                                   other Restricted Payments of the kind
contemplated by clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of
Restricted Payments if, immediately after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment as if it had occurred at the beginning of the Company’s most recently
ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are
available, the Company’s Leverage Ratio would have been less than 3.5 to 1.0
and the notes would have been rated Ba3 (or the equivalent thereof) or better
by Moody’s and BB- (or the equivalent thereof) or better by S&P (provided, that if either such entity
ceases to rate the notes for reasons outside of

the control of the
Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally
recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under
the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency will be deemed
to satisfy the rating requirement for the rating agency so replaced).

clauses (iv), (ix) and (x) above, no Default or Event of Default will
have occurred and be continuing immediately after such transaction or as a
consequence thereof.

required to be valued by this Section 4.07 will be determined by the Board
of Directors of the Company whose resolution with respect thereto will be
delivered to the Trustee.


 


If any Restricted Investment is sold or otherwise liquidated or repaid
or any dividend or payment is received by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company and such amounts may be credited to clause (c) above,
then such amounts will be credited only to the extent of amounts not otherwise
included in Consolidated Net Income and that do not otherwise increase the
amount available as a Permitted Investment.


 


Section 4.08                            Dividends
and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

Indebtedness if the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s
most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional
Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would have been
at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis, including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom, as if the additional Indebtedness

Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding
under this clause (i), with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal
amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder, not to exceed $2.5 billion less the aggregate amount of all Net
Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries since the date of this Supplemental Indenture to repay any term
Indebtedness under any Credit Facility or to repay any revolving credit
Indebtedness under any Credit Facility pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof;


 


(ii)                                  the Incurrence by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;


 


(iii)                               the Incurrence
by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and
the Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Supplemental Indenture;


 


(iv)                              the Incurrence
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money
obligations, in each case, Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any
part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or
improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount,
including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refund, refinance
or replace any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (iv), not to
exceed 7.5% of Total Assets at any time outstanding;


 


(v)                                 the Incurrence
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness;


 


(vi)                              the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that:


 


(i)                                     if the Company
or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the
Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the
prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the
Notes, in the case of the Company, or any such Guarantor’s Guarantee, in the
case of a Guarantor; and


 


(ii)                                  (a) any
subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such
Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company and (b) any sale or other transfer of any such
Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an
Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);


 


(vii)                           the Incurrence by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are Incurred in the normal course of business and not for
speculative purposes;


 


(viii)                        the Incurrence by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in the ordinary course of business
solely in respect of performance, bid, surety, appeal and similar bonds,
completion or performance guarantees or standby letters of credit (not
supporting Indebtedness for borrowed money) issued for the purpose of
supporting workers’ compensation liabilities of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


43

















 


(ix)                                the Incurrence of Indebtedness arising
from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
providing for 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;


 


(x)                                   the Incurrence by a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company of Indebtedness in connection with and in contemplation of, the
concurrent disposition of such Restricted Subsidiary to the stockholders of the
Company; provided that such
disposition occurs concurrently with such Incurrence and following such
disposition, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any
liability with respect to such Indebtedness;


 


(xi)                                the Incurrence by a Securitization Entity
of Indebtedness in a Qualified Securitization Transaction that is Non-Recourse
Debt with respect to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
Securitization Entities), except for Standard Securitization Undertakings and
Limited Originator Recourse;


 


(xii)      the guarantee by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company that was permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09;


 


(xiii)     the Incurrence of Indebtedness of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owed to, including obligations in respect of
letters of credit for the benefit of, any Person in connection with workers’
compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property,
casualty or liability insurance provided by such Person to the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to reimbursement or indemnification
obligations to such Person, in each case Incurred in the ordinary course of
business;


 


(xiv)                         the Incurrence of Indebtedness arising
from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of
business, provided that such
Indebtedness is extinguished within two business days of its Incurrence;


 


(xv)                            the issuance of shares of preferred stock
by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided 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 transfer of any such shares of preferred stock (except to the
Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed in each case to be an
issuance of such shares of preferred stock that was not permitted by this
clause (xv); and


 


(xvi)                         the Incurrence by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate
principal amount, or accreted value, as applicable, at any time outstanding,
including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refund, refinance
or replace any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xvi), not to
exceed $200.0 million.


 


The Company will not Incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt)
that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes on substantially identical terms;
provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the
Company will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to
any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by
virtue of being secured on first or junior Lien basis.


 


For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in
the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than
one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through
(xvi) above, or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph
of this Section 4.09, the Company, in its sole discretion, will be
permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its Incurrence,
or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any
manner that complies with this Section 4.09, except that


 


44
















 


Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on
the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this
Supplemental Indenture will initially be deemed to have been Incurred on such
date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (i) of the
definition of Permitted Debt.


 


The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original
issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same or substantially similar terms, the reclassification
of Equity Interests as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles,
and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional
shares of the same or a substantially similar class of Disqualified Stock will
not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. 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 utilized, calculated
based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such
Indebtedness was Incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant,
the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be
exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency
values.


 


Section 4.10                            Asset
Sales.


 


The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:


 


(i)                                     the Company or
the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration
(including assumption of liabilities) at the time of the Asset Sale at least
equal to the fair market value (measured as of the date of the definitive
agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests
issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;


 


(ii)       the fair market value is determined by the Company’s
Board of Directors or Chief Financial Officer and evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate delivered to the Trustee with respect to any Asset Sale determined
to have a fair market value greater than $100.0 million; and


 


(iii)      at least 75% of the consideration received in the
Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash
or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this provision, each of the
following will be deemed to be cash:


 


(w)                               any
liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most
recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
other than contingent liabilities and liabilities of the Company that are by
their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof, that are
assumed by the transferee of any such assets;


 


(x)       any securities, notes or
other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary
from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days
after the consummation of such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received
in that conversion;


 


(y)                                 any Designated
Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided
that the aggregate fair market value, as determined above, of such Designated
Noncash Consideration, taken together with the fair market value at the time of
receipt of all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this
clause (y) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously realized in cash
from prior Designated Noncash Consideration is less than 7.5% of Total Assets
at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, 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; and


 


(z)                                   Additional
Assets;


 


45

















 


provided, that this clause (iii) will
not be applicable to any sale or other disposition of all or a portion of the
business constituting the aerospace and technologies segment of the Company.


 


Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
may, at its option and to the extent the Company elects, apply those Net
Proceeds:


 


(a)                                  to repay Indebtedness and
other Obligations under any Credit Facility;


 


(b)                                 to acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted
Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the
Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;


 


(c)                                  to make a capital
expenditure in a Permitted Business;


 


(d)                                 to acquire other long-term
assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or


 


(e)                                  to make an Investment in
Additional Assets; provided, that
the Company will be deemed to have complied with this clause (e) if,
within 365 days of such Asset Sale, the Company will have entered into a
definitive agreement covering such Investment which is thereafter completed
within 365 days after the first anniversary of such Asset Sale.


 


Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company (or the
applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or
otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this
Supplemental Indenture.


 


Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the second preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $50.0 million, the Company will make an offer to all Holders of Notes
and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari
passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set
forth in this Supplemental Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or
redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount
of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer
price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable
in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset
Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not
otherwise prohibited by this Supplemental Indenture.  If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount
of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on
a pro rata basis.  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.


 


Section 4.11                            Transactions
With Affiliates.


 


(a)                                  The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless


 


(1)                                  such Affiliate
Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a
comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person; and


 


(2)                                  the Company
delivers to the Trustee:


 


(A)                              with respect to
any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, a resolution of the


 


46

















 


Board of Directors of the
Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with clause (1) above and that such Affiliate
Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the
Board of Directors of the Company; and


 


(B)                                with respect to
any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $100.0 million, an opinion as to the
fairness to the Company of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of
view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national
standing.


 


(b)                                 The following items will not
be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to
the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:


 


(1)                                  any employment
agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification
agreement, severance or termination agreement, or any similar arrangement
entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;


 


(2)                                  transactions
between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(3)                                  transactions
between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries with Ball Asia
Pacific and Permitted Joint Ventures on terms that are no less favorable to the
Company and/or such Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a
comparable transaction by the Company and/or such Subsidiary with an unrelated
Person;


 


(4)                                  any sale or
other issuance of Equity Interests, other than Disqualified Stock, to
Affiliates of the Company;


 


(5)                                  Restricted
Payments and Investments that do not violate the provisions of Section 4.07
hereof;


 


(6)                                  fees and
compensation paid to members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in their capacity as such;


 


(7)                                  advances to
employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses, drawing accounts and
similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business;


 


(8)                                  fees and
compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors
or employees of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or of any such Restricted
Subsidiary, to the extent such fees and compensation are reasonable and
customary;


 


(9)                                  transactions
effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transaction;


 


(10)                            the grant of
stock options or similar rights to officers, employees, consultants and
directors of the Company and, to the extent otherwise permitted under this
Supplemental Indenture, to any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to plans
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and issuance of securities
pursuant thereto; and


 


(11)                            transactions
pursuant to any arrangement, contract or agreement in existence on the date of
this Supplemental Indenture, as such arrangement may be amended or restated,
renewed, extended, refinanced, refunded or replaced from time to time, provided that any such amendment or
restatement, renewal, extension, refinancing, refund or replacement is on terms
and conditions not materially less favorable to the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole than the arrangement, contract or agreement in
existence on the date of this Supplemental Indenture.


 


47

















 


Section 4.12                            Liens.


 


The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind
securing Indebtedness, Attributable Debt, or trade payables, other than
Permitted Liens, upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter
acquired, unless all payments due under this Supplemental Indenture and the
Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured
until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.


 


Section 4.13                            Business
Activities.


 


The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent
as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken
as a whole.


 


Section 4.14                            Corporate
Existence.


 


Subject to Articles 5 and 10 hereof, the Company will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Unrestricted Subsidiary with $20.0
million of net sales in the most recent twelve month period or assets of $20.0
million, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the
same may be amended from time to time) of the Company, any Restricted
Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary with $20.0 million of net sales in the
most recent twelve month period or assets of $20.0 million and (ii) the
rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company, its
Restricted Subsidiaries and any Unrestricted Subsidiary with $20.0 million of net sales in the most recent twelve
month period or assets of $20.0 million; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any such
right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence
of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors will determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof
is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.


 


Section 4.15                            Offer
to Purchase Upon Change of Control.


 


(a)                                  If a Change of Control
occurs, and the Company does not redeem the Notes as described in Section 3.07
hereof within 60 days after the Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will
have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part, equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, of that Holder’s
Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).  Within 30 days following
any Change of Control, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the consummation
of such Change of Control but after the public announcement thereof, the
Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase
Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date will be no earlier than
30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant
to the procedures required by this Supplemental Indenture and described in such
notice.  The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.  To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Change of Control provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions
of this Supplemental Indenture by virtue of such compliance.


 


(b)                                 On the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful,


 


(1)                                  accept for
payment all Notes or portions of the Notes (in integral multiples of $1,000)
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;


 


48

















 


(2)                                  deposit with
the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of
all Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and


 


(3)                                  deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with
an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
portions of the Notes being purchased by the Company.


 


The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book entry, to
each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, if any; provided
that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Company will publicly announce
the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after
the Change of Control Payment Date.


 


The provisions described above that require the Company to make a
Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable
whether or not any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture are
applicable.  Except as described above with respect to a Change of
Control, this
Supplemental Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of
the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Notes in the
event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.


 


(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company will not be required to
make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes
the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements set forth in this Supplemental Indenture
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all
Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or
(2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07,
unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption
price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of
Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon
the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in
place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is
made.


 


Section 4.16                            Additional
Guarantees.


 


If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or
creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Supplemental
Indenture, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary will become
a Guarantor and execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to the Trustee in
the form of Exhibit C within 20 business days of the date on which
it was acquired or created; provided,
that this Section 4.16 does not apply to any Subsidiary that has properly
been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this
Supplemental Indenture for so long as it continues to constitute an
Unrestricted Subsidiary or to any Excluded Subsidiary for so long as it
continues to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary.


 


Section 4.17                            Payment
for Consents.


 


The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or
provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes
that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.


 


Section 4.18                            Sale
and Leaseback Transactions.


 


The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may
enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:


 


49

















 


(i)                                     the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have incurred Indebtedness in
an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback
transaction pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof;


 


(ii)                                  the gross cash
proceeds of such sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property
that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and


 


(iii)                               the transfer of
assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company
applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.10
hereof.


 


Section 4.19                            Designation
of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.


 


The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.  If
a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the
aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be
deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will
reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph
of Section 4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments, as determined by the
Company.  That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would
be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  The Board of Directors may at
any time redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary
if the redesignation would not cause a Default.


 


Section 4.20                            Changes
in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.


 


If on any date following the date of this Supplemental Indenture:


 


(i) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by at
least two of the Rating Agencies, and


 


(ii) no Default or Event of Default will have
occurred and be continuing,


 


then beginning on that day and continuing at all
times thereafter regardless of any subsequent changes in the rating of the
Notes, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions
of this Supplemental Indenture described in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.19 and clause (iv) of Section 5.01.

corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger, if other than the Company, or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a
corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any
state of the United States or the District of Columbia and, if such entity is
not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation organized or
existing under any such laws;


 


(ii)                                  the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than the
Company, or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition will have been made assumes all the obligations of the
Company under the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture pursuant to agreements
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;


 


50

















 


(iii)                               immediately
after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; and


 


(iv)                              either:


 


(a)                                  except in the
case of a merger of the Company with or into a Subsidiary, the Company or the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than
the Company, or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other

the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,
be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09
hereof or


 


(b)                                 the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any
such consolidation or merger, if other than the Company, or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition will have been made
would, immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related
financing transactions as if same had occurred at the beginning of the
applicable four-quarter period, not be less than such Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such

provided, however, that clause (iv) above does not apply if, in
the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, whose
determination will be evidenced by a board resolution, the purpose of such
transactions is to change the state of incorporation of the Company.  The
Company may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.  The
provisions of this Section 5.01 will not apply to a sale, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


Section 5.02                            Successor

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the
Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition is made will succeed to, and be substituted for
(so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease,
conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture
referring to the “Company” will refer instead to the successor corporation and
not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company
under this Supplemental Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
Person had been named as the Company herein; provided,
however, that the predecessor Company will not be relieved from the
obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case
of a sale of all of the Company’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01
hereof.

Supplemental Indenture, if that default:


 


(1)                                  is caused by a

insurance, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of

effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor,
denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee.


 


(i)                                     the Company or any of its

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


 


(i)                                     is for relief
against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries that are Restricted
Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;


 


52

















 


(ii)                                  appoints a
custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries that are

are Restricted Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.02                            Acceleration.


 


If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof) with respect to the
Company, any Significant Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary, as
applicable, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon
any such declaration, the Notes will become due and payable immediately. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or
(i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any of
its Significant Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will be due and payable without further
action or notice.  Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Supplemental
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Supplemental Indenture.


 


In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful
action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with
the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have
had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the
optional redemption provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, an equivalent
premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent
permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.


 


The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement
regarding compliance with this Supplemental Indenture, and the Company is
required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.


 


Section 6.03                            Other
Remedies.


 


If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue
any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the
Notes or this Supplemental Indenture.


 


The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default will not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All
remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.


 


Section 6.04                            Waiver
of Past Defaults.


 


The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under this Supplemental Indenture except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however,
that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration.  Upon
any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default will cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom will be


 


53

















 


deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Supplemental Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section 6.05                            Control
by Majority.


 


Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on it.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow
any direction that conflicts with law or this Supplemental Indenture that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of
Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.


 


Section 6.06                            Limitation
on Suits.


 


A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes only if:


 


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


 


(b)                                 the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy;


 


(c)                                  such Holder of a Note or
Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;


 


(d)                                 the Trustee does not comply
with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and,
if requested, the provision of indemnity; and


 


(e)                                  during such 60-day period
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.


 


A Holder of a Note may not use this Supplemental Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority
over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not
have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to any Holder).


 


Section 6.07                            Rights
of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and
interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the
Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, will not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section 6.08                            Collection
Suit by Trustee.


 


If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own
name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the
Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and
such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.


 


Section 6.09                            Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.


 


The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed


 


54
















 


in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or
its property and will be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee
will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to
the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.  To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such
proceeding, will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured
by a Lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained will
be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding.


 


Section 6.10         Priorities.


 


If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this
Article, it will pay out the money in the following order:


 


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


 


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


 


Third:  to the
Company.


 


The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.


 


Section 6.11         Undertaking for Costs.


 


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

TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.01         Duties of Trustee.


 


(a)           If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Supplemental Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.


 


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


 


55

















 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)          the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.


 


(d)           Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Supplemental Indenture that in
any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e) and
(f) of this Section and Section 7.02.


 


(e)           No provision of this
Supplemental Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or incur any liability.  The Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights and powers under this Supplemental Indenture at the request
of any Holders, unless such Holder will have offered to the Trustee security
and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.


 


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


 


Section 7.02         Rights of Trustee.


 


(a)           The Trustee may conclusively
rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper Person.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact
or matter stated in the document.


 


(b)           Before the Trustee acts or
refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of
Counsel or both.  The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection

complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.


 


(c)           The Trustee may act through
its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care.


 


(d)           The Trustee will not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes
to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Supplemental Indenture.


 


56

















 


(e)           Unless otherwise
specifically provided in this Supplemental Indenture, any demand, request,
direction or notice from the Company or any Guarantor will be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company or Guarantor issuing such demand, request
or notice.


 


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


 


(g)           Whenever in the
administration of this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee will 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,
conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate.


 


(h)           The Trustee will not be
deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by
the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture.


 


(i)            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 Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the
Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by
reason of such inquiry or investigation.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.03         Individual Rights of Trustee.


 


The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if
it were not Trustee.  However, in the event the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to
the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Supplemental Indenture
has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.  Any Agent
may exercise the same rights, with the same duties, as the Trustee under this Section 7.03. 
The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.


 


Section 7.04         Trustee’s Disclaimer.


 


The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Supplemental Indenture or
the Notes, it will not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds
from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction
under any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, it will not be responsible
for the use or application of any money received by any Paying


 


57

















 


Agent other than the
Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or
any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of
the Notes or pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture other than its certificate
of authentication.


 


Section 7.05         Notice of Defaults.


 


If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default
or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on any
Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice from Holders of the Notes if and so
long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.


 


Section 7.06         Reports by Trustee to Holders of
the Notes.


 


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


 


A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
the Holders of Notes will be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and
each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). 
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any
stock exchange or delisted therefrom.


 


Section 7.07         Compensation and Indemnity.


 


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


 


The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the
Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses
(including taxes other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee)
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its duties under this Supplemental Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Supplemental Indenture against the Company
and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself
against any claim (whether asserted by the Company and the Guarantors or any
Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any
such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or
willful misconduct.  The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company will not relieve the Company and the Guarantors of its obligations
hereunder.  The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee will
cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the
Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The
Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld.


 


The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors
under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Supplemental Indenture.


 


To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on
all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in
trust to pay


 


58

















 


principal and interest on
particular Notes.  Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge
of this Supplemental Indenture.


 


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


 


The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to
the extent applicable.


 


Section 7.08         Replacement of Trustee.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


A successor Trustee will deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. 
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become
effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and
duties of the Trustee under this Supplemental Indenture.  The successor
Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Notes.  The
retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to
the successor Trustee, provided
all sums owing to the Trustee (including its agents and/or counsel) hereunder
have been paid and
subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07
hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


 


Section 7.09         Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.


 


If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be
the successor Trustee.


 


59

















 


Section 7.10         Eligibility; Disqualification.


 


There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that
is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate Trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of
at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition.


 


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


 


Section 7.11         Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Company.


 


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


 


Section 7.12         Trustee’s Application for
Instructions from the Company.


 


Any application by the Trustee for written
instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in
writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this
Supplemental Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action will be
taken or such omission will be effective. 
The Trustee will not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of,
the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or
after the date specified in such application (which date will not be less than
three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives
such application, unless any such officer will have consented in writing to any
earlier date) unless prior to the taking of such action (or the effective date
in the case of an omission), the Trustee will have received written
instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken
or omitted.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


 


Section 8.01         Option to Effect Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance.


 


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


 


Section 8.02         Legal Defeasance and Discharge.


 


Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the
Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
all outstanding Notes and to have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with
respect to its Guarantee on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which will thereafter
be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof
and the other Sections of this Supplemental Indenture referred to in (a) and
(b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Notes and this Supplemental Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the
expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder:  (a) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04
hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of, interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the
Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02
hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in
connection


 


60

















 


therewith and (d) this Article 8.  Subject to compliance with this Article 8,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.


 


Section 8.03         Covenant Defeasance.


 


Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each
Restricted Subsidiary will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 3.09, 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12,
4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.19 and clause (iv) of Section 5.01
hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter
be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent
or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not
be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). 
For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company, each Guarantor and each Restricted Subsidiary
may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this Supplemental Indenture and such Notes
will be unaffected thereby.  In addition,
upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(d) through
6.01(f) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.


 


Section 8.04         Conditions to Legal or Covenant
Defeasance.


 


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


 


In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance:


 


(a)           the Company must irrevocably
deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in
United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of
cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank,
appraisal firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or
interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity
or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must
specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular
Redemption Date;


 


(b)           in the case of an election
under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company will have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Supplemental Indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will
confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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;


 


(c)           in the case of an election
under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company will have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the
Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred;


 


(d)           no Default or Event of
Default will have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, other
than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of
Indebtedness all or a portion of the


 


61

















 


proceeds of which will be used to defease the
Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence, or
insofar as Sections 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) hereof is concerned, at any
time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (and any
similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of
Liens to secure such borrowings;


 


(e)           such Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute
a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this
Supplemental Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness
being defeased,  discharged or replaced)
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;


 


(f)            the Company will have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was
not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes
over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and


 


(g)           the Company will have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or
the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.


 


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


 


Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and
non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of
this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will
be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and
this Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


The Company and the Guarantors will pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited
pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is
for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.


 


Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government
Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which
may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in
excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


Section 8.06         Repayment to Company.


 


Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable will be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the
Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will
thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
reasonable expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be
less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.


 


62

















 


Section 8.07         Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance
with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under
this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes will be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company
makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes).  Section 2.08 hereof will
determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.


 


Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a
resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such
amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02
hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended
or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture
directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Supplemental Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its
discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture.


 


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


 


After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.  Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular
instance by the Company with any provision of this Supplemental Indenture or
the Notes.  However, without the consent
of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting
Holder):


 


(a)           reduce the principal amount
of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;


 


(b)           reduce the principal of or
change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions
with respect to the redemption of the Notes except as provided above with
respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof;


 


(c)           reduce the rate of or change
the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;


 


(d)           waive a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration:


 


64
















 


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


 


(f)            make any change in the
provisions of this Supplemental Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults
or the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments of principal of or
premium, interest on the Notes;


 


(g)           make any change in the
foregoing amendment and waiver provisions; or


 


(h)           release any Guarantor from
any of its Obligations under its Guarantee or this Supplemental Indenture,
except in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture.


 


Section 9.03         Compliance With Trust Indenture
Act.


 


Every amendment or supplement to this Supplemental
Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture
that complies with the TIA as then in effect.


 


Section 9.04         Revocation and Effect of Consents.


 


Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the
Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of
the consent is not made on any Note. 
However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may
revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes
effective.  An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds
every Holder.


 


Section 9.05         Notation on or Exchange of Notes.


 


The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about
an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for all Notes may
issue and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a
new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement
or waiver.


 


Section 9.06         Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.


 


The Trustee will sign any amended, restated or
supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the
amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. 
The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until
the Board of Directors approves it.  In
executing any amended, restated or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be
entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04
hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended, restated or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Supplemental Indenture.

NOTE GUARANTEES


 


Section 10.01       Guarantee.


 


Subject to this Article 10, each of the
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each
Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee
and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability
of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, that:  (a) the principal of and interest on
the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of
and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
Company to the Holders or the Trustee


 


65

















 


hereunder or thereunder will
be promptly 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 any of such other obligations, that same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise.  Failing payment when due of
any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason,
the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately.  Each Guarantor agrees that
this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.


 


The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations
hereunder will be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Supplemental Indenture, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this
Supplemental Indenture.


 


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


 


Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled
to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
guaranteed hereby.  Each Guarantor further
agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and
the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for
the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration
of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the
rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.


 


Section 10.02       Limitation on Guarantor Liability.


 


Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each
Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Guarantee.  To effectuate
the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee
and this Article 10 will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after
giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or
payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.


 


Section 10.03       Execution and Delivery of
Guarantee.


 


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


 


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


 


66

















 


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


 


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


 


In the event that the Company creates or acquires
any new Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, if
required by Section 4.16 hereof, the Company will cause such Subsidiaries
to execute supplemental indentures to this Supplemental Indenture and
Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.16 hereof and this Article 10,
to the extent applicable.


 


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


 


A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or
into, whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person, another Person
other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:


 


(a)           immediately after giving
effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and


 


(b)           either:


 


(1)           the Person
acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by
or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than the Guarantor or
the Company, unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor
under this Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental
indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto; or


 


(2)           the Net
Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture.


 


In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in the form
of Exhibit C to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the
Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Supplemental Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor,
such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with
the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.  Such successor Person thereupon may cause to
be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes
issuable hereunder.  All the Guarantees
so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Supplemental Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture as though all of such
Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.


 


Except as set forth in Article 5 hereof, and
notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this
Supplemental Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or
merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will
prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.  Upon any such consolidation or merger of any
Guarantor with or into another Guarantor or with or into the Company, the
Guarantee of the Guarantor that does not survive will no longer be of any force
or effect.


 


Section 10.05       Releases Following Sale of
Assets, Etc..


 


In the event of (a) any sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor,
including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not
(either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not
violate Section 4.10 herein; (b) any sale or other disposition of all
of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, including by way of dividend of the
Capital Stock of such Guarantor to the stockholders of the Company, to a Person
that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if


 


67

















 


the sale or other
disposition does not violate Section  4.07 or Section 4.10 herein; (c) if
the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.19 of this
Supplemental Indenture; or (d) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance
or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in Article 8
and Article 11, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other
disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the
capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in
the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations
under its Guarantee; provided
that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof.  Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee
of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, including without
limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents
reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guarantee.


 


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

redemption;


 


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


 


(3)           the Company or
any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this

conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

 [Back of Note]


 


7.375%
Senior Notes due 2019


 


Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned to them in the Supplemental Indenture referred to below unless
otherwise indicated.


 


1.                                       INTEREST .  Ball Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the
“Company”), promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.375% per annum from the date
hereof until maturity.  The Company will
pay interest semi-annually on March 1st and September 1st of each year, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of issuance; provided
that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this
Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided,
further, that the first Interest
Payment Date will be March 1, 2010. 
The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to
the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will
pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the
extent lawful.  Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


2.                                       METHOD OF
PAYMENT.  The Company will pay interest
on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 15 or August 15
next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Supplemental Indenture with respect to
defaulted interest.  Principal, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of
the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York or, at the
option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the
Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of
Holders of Notes; provided that
all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Notes the
Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee will be
required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the Holders thereof. 
Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.


 


3.                                       PAYING
AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially,
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the
Supplemental Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without notice to any Holder. 
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.


 


4.                                       INDENTURE.  This Note is one of a duly authenticated
series of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an indenture (the “Base
Indenture”), dated as of March 27, 2006, between the Company
and the Trustee, as amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with
the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”),
dated as of August 20, 2009, among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include
those stated in the Supplemental Indenture and those made part of the
Supplemental Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). 
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Supplemental Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of
this Note will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any 


 


76

















 


provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, the
provisions of the Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.  The Company will be entitled to issue
Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Supplemental Indenture.


 


5.                                       OPTIONAL

will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to September 1,
2014.  Thereafter, the Company will have
the option to redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices, expressed as percentages of
principal amount, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the

(b)                                 Notwithstanding
the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior
to September 1, 2012, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem,
in whole or in part, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes,
including Additional Notes of the same class, if any, issued under the
Supplemental Indenture, at a redemption price of par plus the stated interest
rate, or 107.375% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date with the net cash proceeds
of one or more Equity Offerings; provided
that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including
Additional Notes of the same class, if any, issued under the Supplemental
Indenture, remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption, excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries; and the
redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity
Offering.


 


(c)                                  At any time
prior to September 1, 2014, the Company, at its option, may redeem all or
a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior
notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on
the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date.


 


6.                                       MANDATORY
REDEMPTION.  The Company
is not required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the
Notes.


 


7.                                       REPURCHASE
AT OPTION OF HOLDER .


 


(a)                                  If a Change of
Control occurs, and the Company does not redeem the Notes as described under
clause (5) above within 60 days after the Change of Control, the Company
will be required to make an offer (a “Change
of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part, equal to $2,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, of each Holder’s Notes at a
purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to
the date of purchase (the “Change of Control
Payment”).  Within 30 days
following any Change of Control or, at the Company’s option, prior to the
consummation of such Change of Control but after the public announcement
thereof, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the
Supplemental Indenture.


 


(b)                                 If the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales and the aggregate amount
of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company will commence an offer to
all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing
provisions similar to those set forth in the Supplemental Indenture with
respect to offers to purchase or


 


77

















 


redeem with the proceeds of
sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness
that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09
of the Supplemental Indenture at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to
100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase and will be payable in cash.  To
the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant
to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such
Subsidiary) may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by the Supplemental Indenture. 
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by
Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select
the Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata
basis.  Holders of Notes that are the
subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the
Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase”
on the reverse of the Notes.


 


8.   NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.  Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may
be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,
unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the Redemption Date interest
ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.


 


9.   DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof.  Notes may be transferred or
exchanged as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Supplemental Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or transfer any
Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or
during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment
Date.


 


10.   PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.


 


11.   AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Base Indenture may be amended as provided
therein.  Subject to certain exceptions,
the Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange
offer for, Notes, voting as a single class, and any existing default or
compliance with any provision of the Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees or
the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, Notes, voting as a single class.  Without the consent of any Holder of a Note,
the Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes; (iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to
Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (iv) to make any change that
would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or
that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Supplemental
Indenture of any such Holder; (v) to comply with the requirements of the
SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Supplemental
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; (vi) to provide for the issuance
of Additional Notes in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture; (vii) to
conform the text of the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees to
any provision of the Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in
the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees; (viii) to
allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Supplemental
Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; (ix) to evidence
and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee; (x) to
add Guarantees with respect to the Notes; (xi) to 


 


78

















 


secure the Notes; or
(xii) to release any Lien granted in favor of the Holders of the Notes
pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Supplemental Indenture upon release of the
Lien securing the underlying obligation that gave rise to such Lien.


 


12.                                 DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES.  Each of the
following is an “EVENT OF DEFAULT”: 
(i) default for a period of 30 days in the payment when due of interest on
the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due of principal of or
premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries fails to comply with the provisions of Section 5.01 of the
Supplemental Indenture; (iv) the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries fails for 30 days after notice to the Company to comply with any
of the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.09, 4.10 or 4.15 of the Supplemental
Indenture; (v) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails for
60 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes; (vi) the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Securitization Entity) defaults under any
mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which
there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Securitization
Entity) (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Securitization Entity)) whether such
Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this
Supplemental Indenture, if that default (a) is caused by a failure to pay
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness on or before
the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of
such default (a “Payment Default”)
or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness
under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been
so accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more or its foreign currency
equivalent; (vii) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails
to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign
currency equivalent, excluding amounts covered by insurance, which judgments
are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (viii) certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency occur with respect to the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law; or (ix) except
as permitted by the Supplemental Indenture, any Guarantee is held in any
judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to
be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of
any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under such Guarantor’s
Guarantee.


 


If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary
pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law, all outstanding Notes will
become due and payable without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce the Supplemental
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event
of Default and its consequences under the Supplemental Indenture except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the
principal of, the Notes.  The Company is
required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance
with the Supplemental Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming
aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13.                                 TRUSTEE
DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the
Trustee.


 


14.                                 NO
RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  A
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any
Guarantor, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Supplemental
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation.  Each
Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability.  The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.


 


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


 


16.                                 ABBREVIATIONS.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the
name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:  TEN COM (= tenants in common),
TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right
of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A
(= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).


 


17.                                 CUSIP
NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the
Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may
use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy
of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of
redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon.  The Company will furnish
to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base
Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Guarantees.  Requests may be made to:

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS


 


SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture “), dated as of
                    ,
20   , among
                        
(the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary “),
a subsidiary of Ball Corporation (or its permitted successor), an Indiana
corporation (the “Company “), the
Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture
referred to herein) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
trustee under the Third Supplemental Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee “).


 


W
I T N E S S E T H


 


WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and
delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Base
Indenture “), dated as of March 27, 2006, between the Company
and the Trustee, as amended by a Third Supplemental Indenture (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base
Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of August 20, 2009,
among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee, providing for
the original issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million of
7.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “ Notes”);


 


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


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Third
Supplemental 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 will have the meanings assigned to them in the Third
Supplemental Indenture.


 


2.                                       Agreement
to Guarantee.  The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:


 


(a)                                  Along with all Guarantors
named in the Third Supplemental Indenture, to jointly and severally Guarantee
to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the
Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes or the obligations of the
Company hereunder or thereunder, that:


 


(i)                                     the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if
lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and


 


(ii)                                  in case of any extension of
time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that
same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise.  Failing payment when due
of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so 


 

















 


guaranteed for whatever
reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately.


 


(b)                                 The obligations hereunder
will be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or the Third Supplemental Indenture, the absence of
any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the
Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a Guarantor.


 


(c)                                  The following is hereby
waived:  diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
whatsoever.


 


(d)                                 This Note Guarantee will not
be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
the Notes and the Third Supplemental Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Third Supplemental Indenture.


 


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


 


(f)                                    The Guaranteeing Subsidiary
will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby.


 


(g)                                 As between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
Article 6 of the Third Supplemental Indenture for the purposes of this
Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby,
and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Third Supplemental Indenture,
such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.


 


(h)                                 The Guarantors will have the
right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note
Guarantee.


 


(i)                                     Pursuant to Section 10.02
of the Third Supplemental Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount
and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any
applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to
any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by
or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under Article 10 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, this new
Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the
obligations of such Guarantor under this Note Guarantee will not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.


 


3.                                       Execution
and Delivery.  Each
Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees will remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation
of such Note Guarantee.

4.                                       Guaranteeing
Subsidiary may Consolidate, etc. on Certain Terms .


 


(a)                                  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary
may not sell or otherwise dispose of all substantially all of its assets to, or
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor
unless:


 


(i)                                     immediately after giving
effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and


 


(ii)                                  either (A) subject to
Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Person acquiring
the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the
obligations of that Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Third
Supplemental Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or
therein; or (B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Third Supplemental
Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 thereof.


 


(b)                                 In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the
successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed
upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of the Third Supplemental Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the
Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a
Guarantor.  Such successor Person
thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be
endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Third Supplemental Indenture
which theretofore will not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee.  All the Note Guarantees so
issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the
Third Supplemental Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of the Third Supplemental Indenture as
though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.


 


(c)                                  Except as set forth in
Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.05 of Article 10 of the Third
Supplemental Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above,
nothing contained in the Third Supplemental Indenture or in any of the Notes
will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.


 


5.                                       Releases .


 


(a)                                  In the event of any sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor,
by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of
all of the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not
(either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the
Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by
way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such
Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor)
will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such
sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10
of the Third Supplemental Indenture. 
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was
made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Third Supplemental
Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Third
Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee will execute any 


 


86

















 


documents reasonably
required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations
under its Note Guarantee.


 


(b)                                 Any Guarantor not released
from its obligations under its Note Guarantee will remain liable for the full
amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations
of any Guarantor under the Third Supplemental Indenture as provided in Article 10
of the Third Supplemental Indenture.


 


6.                                       No
Recourse Against Others.  No
past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder
or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, will have any liability for
any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes,
any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation.  Each Holder of the Notes by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against
public policy.


 


7.                                       New York Law to Govern.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


8.                                       Counterparts.  The parties may sign any number of copies of
this Supplemental Indenture.  Each signed
copy will be an original, but all of them together represent the same
agreement.


 


9.                                       Effect
of Headings.  The Section headings
herein are for convenience only and will not affect the construction hereof.


 


10.                                 The
Trustee.  The Trustee will not be
responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals
contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing
Subsidiary and the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused
this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the
date first above written.
