form set forth in the Indenture, or in such other form as may be established by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution or in one or more supplemental indentures thereto, in each case with such

by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification and such
legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any

          D. The Company and the Trustee have agreed that the Company shall issue and deliver, and the

          SECTION 1.1. Issuance of Notes; Principal Amount; Maturity; Title. 



          (1) On June 9, 2009, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall authenticate, the Initial Notes substantially in the form set forth in



 









 







Section 3.2 below, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture and this Third Supplemental
Indenture, and with such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange
or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing
such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.



          (2) The Initial Notes to be issued pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be
issued in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 and shall mature on June 15, 2019 unless

principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed $500,000,000, except for
Notes issued, authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or
in lieu of, other Notes of the Series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the
Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture, are deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered. The Company may without the consent of the
Holders, issue additional notes hereunder as part of the same series and on the same terms and
conditions (and having the same Guarantors) and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Initial Notes
(“Additional Notes”); provided that if any Additional Notes are issued at a price that causes such
Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations of the United States Department
of Treasury thereunder (the “Code”), such Additional Notes shall not have the same CUSIP
number as the Initial Notes.



          (3) The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.



          (4) Pursuant to the terms hereof and Section 301 of the Indenture, the Company hereby creates
a series of Securities designated as the “7.250% Notes due 2019” of the Company (as amended or
supplemented from time to time, that are issued under this Third Supplemental Indenture, including
both the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes, if any, the “Notes”), which Notes shall be
deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Indenture.



          SECTION 1.2. Interest. 



          (1) Interest on a Note will accrue at the per annum rate of 7.250% (the “Note Interest
Rate”), from and including the date specified on the face of such Note until the principal
thereof is paid, deemed paid, or made available for payment and, in each case, will be paid on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.



          (2) The Company shall pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and
December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2009.



2









 





          (3) Interest shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders of the
Notes after the close of business on the Regular Record Date.



          (4) Amounts due on the Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date of the Notes will be payable
at the corporate trust office of the Trustee at 551 Madison Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10022.
The Company may make payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date in respect of Notes in
certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled to the payment as it
appears in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located in the United States. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, and
interest in respect of Notes in book-entry form to DTC in immediately available funds, while
disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in Notes in book-entry form will be
made in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its participants in effect from time to time.



          (5) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall impose any service charge for any transfer or
exchange of a Note. However, the Company may ask Holders of the Notes to pay any taxes or other
governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of Notes.



          (6) If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity Date or Redemption Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day in the City of New York, the Company will make the required payment of
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made
on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period
from and after that Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date, as
the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.



          SECTION 1.3. Relationship with Indenture. 



          The terms and provisions contained in the Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Third Supplemental Indenture. However, to the extent any provision of the

Remedies




          SECTION 4.1. Events of Default. 



          Section 501 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.



          “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to the Notes, means any one of
the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):




     (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note when it becomes due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 calendar days;




     (2) default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, any Note at
its Maturity or when otherwise due;




     (3) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be
issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness (or the payment of
which is guaranteed by any Restricted Subsidiary), if that default is caused by a failure
to pay principal at its Stated Maturity after giving effect to any applicable grace period,
or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity and, in
each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default after stated
maturity or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100,000,000 or more;



21









 






     (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant, agreement or warranty of
the Company in this Third Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture as supplemented or
amended and continuance of such default for a period of 60 days after there has been given,
by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the
Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a
written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;




     (5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Guarantors of an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any of its Guarantors a
bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any of the
Guarantors under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any
of the Guarantors or of any substantial part of the property of either, or ordering the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs;




     (6) the commencement by the Company or any of the Guarantors of a voluntary case or
proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or
insolvent, or the consent by either to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect
of the Company or any of the Guarantors in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against either, or

of the Guarantors or of any substantial part of the property of either, or the making by
either of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by either in
writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of
corporate action by the Company or any of the Guarantors in furtherance of any such action;




     (7) a Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared to be null and
void and unenforceable or the Guarantee is found to be invalid or a Guarantor denies its
liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of the Guarantor in
accordance with the terms hereof); or




     (8) the Company fails to timely deliver a required Special Mandatory Redemption
Notice pursuant to Section 5.4 of this Third Supplemental Indenture.



22









 





          SECTION 4.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.



          Section 502 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.



          (1) If an Event of Default occurs and continues (other than an Event of Default specified in
Sections 4.1(5) or 4.1(6)), then in each such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may require the Company to repay immediately the
principal of, and any unpaid premium if any, and interest on, all the Notes. The holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may rescind and annul that
acceleration if all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the nonpayment of
accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. An Event of Default
arising pursuant to Sections 4.1(5) or 4.1(6) shall cause the principal of, and any unpaid premium
and interest on, all Notes to become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act by the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes or any other party.



          (2) Other than its duties in the case of a default, the Trustee is not obligated to exercise
any of its rights or powers under this Third Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture at the request
or direction of any Holder of the Notes, unless the Holders offer reasonable indemnity to the
Trustee. If the Holders offer reasonable indemnity to the Trustee, then the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will have the right, subject to some
limitations, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to
the Notes.



          No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this
Third Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture or for any remedy under this Third Supplemental
Indenture or the Indenture unless:




     (i) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to the Notes;




     (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have
made a written request, and offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to
institute a proceeding as Trustee;




     (iii) the Trustee has failed to institute the requested proceeding within 60 calendar
days after receipt of such notice; and




     (iv) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with the request during
that 60-day period.



          (3) The Holder of any Note will have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, that Note as expressed therein, and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.



23









 





          (4) The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annually within 120 days after the end
of its fiscal year a statement as to the absence of any Event of Default under this Third
Supplemental Indenture. Within 30 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee
shall give notice of such Event of Default or of any event which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would become an Event of Default, known to it, to the Holders of the Notes, except that, in
the case of a default other than a payment default, the Trustee may withhold notice if the Trustee
determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.



ARTICLE V




Redemption of Securities




          SECTION 5.1. Optional Redemption. 



          (1) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or from time to time in part,
prior to the Maturity Date at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
to the Redemption Date; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued
thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming
a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus,
unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed, accrued to the Redemption Date.



          (2) In the case of any optional redemption of the Notes, interest installments whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes at the
close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. Notes (or portions thereof) for whose
redemption provision is made in accordance with this Third Supplemental Indenture shall cease to
bear interest from and after the Redemption Date.



          SECTION 5.2. Optional Redemption Procedures. 



          (1) The election of the Company to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.
In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Notes, the Company
shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be acceptable to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.



          (2) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.1, the particular
Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, not more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date, by the
Trustee from among the Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the Notes or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal



24









 







amount of the Notes of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for the
Notes.



          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the aggregate principal amount
thereof to be redeemed.



          For all purposes of this Third Supplemental Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires,
all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed
or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been
or is to be redeemed.



          (3) Notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be given by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s address as shown in the Security Register for
the affected Notes. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder
of any Notes designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any
such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes
or portion thereof.



          All notices of redemption shall state:




     (i) the Redemption Date;




     (ii) the Redemption Price;




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




     (iv) if less than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification
(and, in the case of partial redemption, the portions of the principal amounts) of the
particular Notes to be redeemed;




     (v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each such Note to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after
said date;




     (vi) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price;




     (vii) the CUSIP numbers of such Notes, if any (or any other numbers used by the
Depositary to identify such Notes); and




     (viii) if notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed has been given by the Company
and funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price (including any accrued and unpaid
interest) of all Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date are irrevocably available for
the redemption of the Notes called for redemption on the Redemption Date, that the Notes
called for redemption shall cease to bear



25









 







interest on and after such Redemption Date and that the only remaining right of the
Holders will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price.



          Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, on Company
Request, by the Trustee at the expense of the Company.



          (4) On or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003 of the Indenture) an amount of money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.



          (5) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such
Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance
with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price; provided,
however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date
shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms.



          If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption,
the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne
by the Note.



          (6) Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency
in accordance with the notice of redemption (with, if the Company or the Trustee shall so require,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or other appropriate person), and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service
charge, a new Note or Notes of any authorized denominations as requested by such Holder, in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Note so surrendered.



          SECTION 5.3. Special Mandatory Redemption.



          If for any reason (i) the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to January 9, 2010 or
(ii) the Acquisition Agreement is terminated at any time prior to thereto, then the Company will
redeem all the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a price equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of original
issuance to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory
Redemption Price”) (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).



26









 





          SECTION 5.4. Special Mandatory Redemption Procedures.



          (1) Notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 5.4 (a “Special Mandatory Redemption
Notice”) shall be mailed, with a written copy to the Trustee, by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed within five Business Days after the occurrence of the event triggering redemption
to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s address as shown in the Security Register.
Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Notes
designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder,
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes or portion
thereof.



          All notices of redemption shall state:




     (i) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date;




     (ii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Price;




     (iii) that on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date the Special Mandatory Redemption
Price will become due and payable upon each such Note to be redeemed;




     (iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the
Special Mandatory Redemption Price;




     (v) the CUSIP numbers of such Notes, if any (or any other numbers used by the
Depositary to identify such Notes); and




     (vi) if funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price (including any
accrued and unpaid interest) of all Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory
Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent on or before such Special
Mandatory Redemption Date, that the Notes shall cease to bear interest on and after such
Special Mandatory Redemption Date.



          (2) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall,
on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Special Mandatory
Redemption Price therein specified. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption
Price (including any accrued and unpaid interest) of all Notes to be redeemed on the Special
Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent on or before such
Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes shall cease to bear interest on and after such Special
Mandatory Redemption Date. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said
notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price; provided,
however, that installments of interest whose Interest Payment Date is on or prior to the Special
Mandatory Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms.

and leaseback transactions except for Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions.



          SECTION 6.3. Right to Require Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of
such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”)

          (2) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at our option, prior
to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the
Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Notes, with a written copy to the Trustee, which notice
shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:




     (i) a description of the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control Triggering Event;




     (ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.3 and
that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment;




     (iii) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date,
which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60

     (iv) if the notice is mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of
Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the
Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment
Date.



          (3) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall be required, to the extent
lawful, to:




     (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to

portions of Notes being purchased and that all conditions precedent provided for in this
Third Supplemental Indenture to the Change of Control Offer and to the repurchase by the
Company of Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer have been complied with.


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 of Notes properly tendered a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in
a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.




31









 








          (4) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering
Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this
Section 6.3, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 6.3 by virtue of such conflicts.



          (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to
repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes such an
offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer
made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided
under Section 5.2 unless the Company has failed to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date.



          SECTION 6.4. Additional Guarantors. 



          (1) Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Target Companies shall merge into each of NextRx
Sub I, NextRx Sub II and NextRx Sub III and shall become successor guarantors to the NextRx Subs by
executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee. If, after the date of the
Indenture, any Subsidiary of the Company that is not then a Guarantor guarantees, becomes a
borrower or guarantor under, or grants any Lien to secure any obligations pursuant to, the Existing
Credit Facility or the Bridge Loan, any refinancing or replacement thereof or any other
Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of 15% of the Company’s
Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the Company’s most recent quarter for which financial
statements are available (such Consolidated Net Worth to be measured at the time of the incurrence
of each such guarantee or borrowing or the granting of such Lien), then in any such case such
Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the
Trustee promptly (but in any event, within two Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or
incurred such Indebtedness or granted such Lien, as the case may be).



          (2) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Guarantee by a Guarantor that was issued
pursuant to this Section 6.4 solely as a result of its guarantee or incurrence of, or granting of a
Lien in respect of, any such Indebtedness shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon
the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiary’s
Guarantee (or upon such Subsidiary ceasing to be a borrower or the release of Liens granted by such
Subsidiary, as the case may be), except a discharge or release as a result of payment under such
guarantee, or of the refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness that is guaranteed or
incurred by such Guarantor.

with or merge with or into any other Person, permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge
with and into the Company or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties

organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or

and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual
payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Outstanding Notes and the

a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company at the time of such transaction, there shall not be any Event of Default or
event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default;



35









 






     (3) if, as a result of any such transaction, the properties or assets of the Company
would become subject to a Lien which would not be permitted under Section 6.1 of this Third
Supplemental Indenture, the Company or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall
take those steps that are necessary to secure all the Outstanding Notes equally and ratably
with Indebtedness secured by that Lien; and




     (4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an

and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Third
Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person has been
named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease to another Person, the
predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture, this
Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (to the extent the Company was the predecessor Person).



ARTICLE IX




Guarantors




          Article 15 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.



          SECTION 9.1. Guarantee. 



          (1) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally and fully and
unconditionally guarantees (each a “Guarantee”), 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 Third Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes or the
obligations of the Company or any other Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be duly and
promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if
any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantor to the Holders of or



36









 







the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including fees, expenses or others) (collectively, the
“Obligations”) 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
Obligations (with or without notice to such Guarantor), the 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. If the Company shall fail to pay when due, or to perform,
any Obligations, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay in cash, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same promptly. An Event of Default
under this Third Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall entitle the Holders of the Notes to
accelerate the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Obligations of the Company.



          (2) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Third Supplemental
Indenture or the 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 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the
Indenture or the Notes, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any
particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Guarantor.



          (3) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of
the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article IV of this Third Supplemental Indenture for the purposes
of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Obligations, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such
Obligations as provided in Article IV of this Third Supplemental Indenture, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the
purposes of its Guarantee.



          SECTION 9.2. Waiver.



          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors 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 covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes, this Third Supplemental Indenture
and Indenture.



          SECTION 9.3. Guarantee of Payment.



          Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment,
performance and compliance when due and not a guarantee of




37











 




collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any
Holder of the Notes to the security, if any, held for payment of the Obligations.




          SECTION 9.4. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.




          Subject to Section 9.10 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the obligations of each of the
Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, termination, impairment or
for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be
subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Trustee or any Holder of the
Notes to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Third Supplemental
Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes, any other guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in
the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission or delay to do any other act
that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).




          SECTION 9.5. Defenses of Company Waived. 




          To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on
or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
the Company, other than final payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each of the Guarantors
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates to impair or
to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of each of the
Guarantors against the Company or any security.




          SECTION 9.6. Continued Effectiveness. 




          Subject to Section 9.10 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, each of the Guarantors further
agrees that its Guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.




          SECTION 9.7. Subrogation. 




          In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right of each of the
Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and




38









 




will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, forthwith pay,
or cause to be paid, to the Holders in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations, and thereupon
the Holders shall, assign (except to the extent that such assignment would render a Guarantor a
“creditor” of the Company within the meaning of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code
as now in effect or hereafter amended or any comparable provision of any successor statute) the
amount of the Obligations owed to it and paid by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee to such
Guarantor, such assignment to be pro rata to the extent the Obligations in question were discharged
by such Guarantor, or make such other disposition thereof as such Guarantor shall direct (all
without recourse to the Holders, and without any representation or warranty by the Holders). If
(a) a Guarantor shall make payment to the Holders of all or any part of the Obligations and (b) all
the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be paid
in full, the Trustee will, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from such payment by such Guarantor.




          SECTION 9.8. Information. 




          Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Company’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each of the
Guarantors assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
will have no duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.




          SECTION 9.9. Subordination. 




          Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Holders, as provided above, all rights of
such Guarantor against the Company, arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or
otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations to the Trustee; provided, however, that any right of
subrogation that such Guarantor may have pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture is subject
to Section 9.7 hereof.




          SECTION 9.10. Release of Guarantor. 




          (1) A Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Third Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder;
provided that such Guarantor would not, immediately after such release and discharge, be required
to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof if such Guarantor had incurred its
then-existing guarantees, indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases) and Liens at
the time of such release and discharge:




39









 






     (i) upon notice by the Company to the Trustee, at any time such Guarantor is not a
borrower or guarantor under, and has not granted any then-existing Lien to secure any
obligations pursuant to, the Existing Credit Facility as amended, or the Bridge Loan, any
refinancing or replacement thereof (including as a result of any release from such
obligations in connection with being designated an “exempt subsidiary” by the Company (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) or any other Indebtedness for borrowed money
(including capital leases) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of
15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Worth (other than obligations arising under this
Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the 2012 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2012 Notes and the 2014 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2014 Notes) except where
resulting from a discharge or release as a result of payment under such guarantee;
provided, however, that no Guarantor shall be released under this subsection unless the
Guarantor is substantially concurrently released from its guarantees under the 2012 Notes
Supplemental Indenture and the 2012 Notes and the 2014 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2014 Notes, or such guarantees have previously been terminated or released;




     (ii) upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 6.4 hereof, of
which the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee; or




     (iii) upon the sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the
equity interests or assets of the Guarantor to another Person (other than to the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates).



          (2) A Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all
obligations under this Third Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder upon any Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to
the Notes, subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 1306 of the Indenture.




          (3) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt
of a request of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance
with this Section. Any Guarantor not so released will remain liable for the full amount of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes provided in this Third Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee.




          SECTION 9.11. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.




          (1) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Third
Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum aggregate amount which,
after giving




40









 




effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving
effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of, any other Guarantor in respect
of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this Third Supplemental Indenture, will result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.




          (2) The Guarantee is expressly limited so that in no event, including the acceleration of the
maturity of the Securities, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in respect of interest on
the Securities (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) exceed the maximum
permissible amount under applicable law, as in effect on the date hereof and as subsequently
amended or modified to allow a greater amount of interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment
for the use of funds) to be paid under the Guarantee. If for any reason the amount in respect of
interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) required by the Guarantee
exceeds such maximum permissible amount, the obligation to pay interest under the Guarantee (or
fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) shall be automatically reduced to such
maximum permissible amount and any amounts collected by any holder of any Security in excess of the
permissible amount shall be automatically applied to reduce the outstanding principal on such
Security.




          SECTION 9.12. Contribution from Other Guarantors.




          Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to
seek contribution from each other non-paying Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets
of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect
in the United States of America as of the date hereof so long as the exercise of such right does
not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.




          SECTION 9.13. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company.




          Neither the Trustee, any Holder nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or
exhaust any rights or remedies or take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or
against the Company or any other Person or any Property of the Company or any other Person before
the Trustee, such Holder or such other Person is entitled to demand payment and performance by any
or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantee.




          SECTION 9.14. Execution and Delivery of the Guarantee. 




          (1) To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in this Article IX, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form of Section 3.4 hereof shall be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or
facsimile signature of an officer, manager or member, as applicable, of each Guarantor.




41









 








          (2) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article IX
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a
notation of such Guarantee.




          (3) If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Third Supplemental Indenture or a
Guarantee no longer holds that office or is no longer a manager or member, as applicable, at the
time the Trustee authenticates such Guarantee or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee
of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.




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




          SECTION 9.15. Successor Guarantor. 




          Unless otherwise released and discharged from its obligations in accordance with this Third
Supplemental Indenture, upon any consolidation or merger by any Guarantor with or into any other
Person, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or merger shall sign a supplemental
indenture and guarantee and succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Guarantor under this Third Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person has been named as a Guarantor herein, and thereafter the
predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture, this
Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (to the extent the Guarantor was the predecessor
Person).




ARTICLE X




Discharge of Obligations Under the Third Supplemental Indenture,

the Indenture and the Notes; Defeasance




          SECTION 10.1. Termination of the Obligations of the Company.




          The obligations of the Company with respect to the Notes under this Third Supplemental
Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes shall cease to be of further effect or, at the option of the
Company, the Company shall no longer be under any obligation to comply with the covenants described
in Articles VI, VII, VIII and IX of the Third Supplemental Indenture and Article 15 of the
Indenture and the Events of Default relating to those covenants shall no longer apply to the
Company if (a) either (i) all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 306
of the Indenture) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes
have become due and payable on the Maturity Date or pursuant to Article V or Section 6.3, and in
any case the Company irrevocably deposits, prior to the applicable due date, with the Paying Agent
or Trustee (if the Paying Agent is not the Company or any of its Affiliates) cash in money of the
United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts,
sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all Outstanding



42









 






Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 306 of the Indenture) on the Maturity
Date, Redemption Date, Special Mandatory Redemption Date or Change of Control Payment Date, as the
case may be; (b) the Company pays to the Trustee or Paying Agent all other sums payable hereunder
by the Company; (c) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall exist on the
date of such deposit; (d) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
Default or Event of Default under, this Third Supplemental Indenture or any other agreement or
instrument of which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; and (e) the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent provided for in this Third Supplemental Indenture relating to the
termination of the obligations of the Company hereunder have been complied with provided, however,
that (i) Sections 303, 304, 305, 306, 308, 309, 606, 607, 610, 611, 1002 and 1003 of the Indenture,
and (ii) Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of the Third Supplemental Indenture and Articles I and X of the
Third Supplemental Indenture and (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee under the Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture shall survive any discharge of
obligations pursuant to this Section 10.1 until such time as the Notes have been paid in full and
there are no Notes Outstanding.




          SECTION 10.2. Repayment to Company. 




          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of, and pay to the Company
upon the request of the Company, any excess money held by them at any time. The Trustee or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall provide written notice to the Company of any money that has
been held by it and has, for a period of two years, remained unclaimed for the payment of the
principal of, or any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall pay to the Company upon the written request of the Company any money held by them for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes that
remains unclaimed for two years; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before
being required to make any such repayment, shall (in no event later than five days after the
Company requests repayment pursuant to this Section 10.2), at the expense of the Company, cause to
