Unless and until such Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     Section 2.5 Interest.

     (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 7.00% per year (the “Coupon Rate”) from and including the Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, but excluding, the applicable Maturity Date. Interest on each series of Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears to the Person in whose name the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date as follows:


  (i) on February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10 of each year, commencing on August 10, 2011 with respect to the 2015 Notes and 2016 Notes; and

  (ii) on March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 of each year, commencing on September 10, 2011 with respect to the 2017 Notes.

  Each such date on which interest is payable for a series of Notes is an “Interest Payment Date” for such series.



     (b) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay).

     (c) Interest shall be calculated by the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will provide to the Company the calculation of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date at least 5 Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date.

     (d) The Company shall deposit the funds for any payment of interest with the Trustee or Paying Agent one Business Day prior to any Interest Payment Date.

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF THE NOTES

     Section 3.1 No Sinking Fund or Repayment at Option of the Holder. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund and are not subject to redemption at the option of the Holders. Articles 12 and 13 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

     Section 3.2 Optional Redemption.

     (a) The Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to January 1, 2012. At any time on or after January 1, 2012, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on a relevant record date to receive

-11-











interest due on a relevant Interest Payment Date; provided, that no Notes may be redeemed while any Series A Notes maturing in the same year as such Notes remain outstanding.

     (b) If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 11.3 of the Base Indenture.

     (c) Any redemption of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.2 that is in part processed through DTC shall be treated in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC as a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal” (as defined under such rules and procedures). Except to the extent modified by this Indenture, the provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture shall apply to redemptions of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.2.

     (d) In addition to the Company’s right to redeem Notes as set forth above in this Section 3.2, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in open market transactions, tender offers or otherwise.

     (a) Prior to January 1, 2012, if the Company undertakes an optional redemption of, or an offer to purchase all, or any percentage of, the outstanding Series A Notes maturing in any year, the Company shall make an offer to purchase (a “Pro Rata Purchase Offer”) all, or an equal percentage, respectively, of the outstanding Notes maturing in such year in accordance with the terms, conditions and timing set forth in this Section 3.3. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that an offer to purchase Series A Notes pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 7.15 of the First Supplemental Indenture to the Series A Notes Indenture shall not trigger a Pro Rata Purchase Offer.

     (b) Prior to January 1, 2012, if the Company proposes to optionally redeem or offer to purchase Series A Notes maturing in any year, it shall, concurrently with the delivery of notice of optional redemption or offer to purchase to the holders of Series A Notes (a “Pro Rata Purchase Offer Trigger”), deliver an offer to purchase the Notes maturing in such year to the Holders thereof.

     (c) The amount of Notes maturing in any year subject to a Pro Rata Purchase Offer, as a percentage of the total outstanding amount of Notes maturing in such year, shall be in the same ratio (subject to rounding as required to keep the Notes in principal amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) as the amount of Series A Notes maturing in such year that is subject to such optional redemption or offer to purchase, as a percentage of the total outstanding amount of Series A Notes maturing in such year.

     (d) The offer price for the Notes subject to a Pro Rata Purchase Offer shall be not less than the optional redemption or offer price for the Series A Notes, excluding, in each case, accrued interest, and the offer to purchase period for the Notes shall be the same as the optional redemption notice period or offer to purchase period for the Series A Notes (unless a longer period is required by applicable law).

-12-











     (e) The Pro Rata Purchase Offer shall be subject to the same conditions as the offer to purchase Series A Notes, and if the offer to purchase Series A Notes maturing in any year is consummated, the offer to purchase Notes maturing in such year shall also be consummated (to the extent any Notes are delivered in connection with such Pro Rata Purchase Offer).

     (f) 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 to a Pro Rata Purchase Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Pro Rata Purchase Offer provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Pro Rata Purchase Offer provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

     (g) On the purchase date for the Pro Rata Purchase Offer, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:


       (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Pro Rata Purchase Offer;

       (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price and any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Pro Rata Purchase Offer; and

     (h) The Paying Agent will promptly mail, or cause to be distributed through the clearing agency, to each holder of Notes properly tendered, the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order 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. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Pro Rata Purchase Offer on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the purchase date.

     (i) The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Pro Rata Purchase Offer following a Pro Rata Purchase Offer Trigger will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable, except as described in Section 11.2.

     Section 3.4 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be obligated to make an offer to purchase (a “Change of Control Offer”) and each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in this Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

-13-











principal amount of Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes purchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).

     Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control and conditional upon a Change of Control Triggering Event occurring, the Company will mail, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control payment date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”),
which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as required by law, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the
Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the consummation of the Change of Control on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

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


       (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

       (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

       (iii) 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 Notes being purchased by the Company.



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

     (d) The Change of Control provisions described in this Section 3.4 shall be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable, except in any case in which the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof are applicable. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Section 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable to the purchase 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 the Change of Control provisions of this Section 3.4, the Company shall

-14-











comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.4 by virtue of such compliance.

     (e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly and properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) the Company has given notice to redeem all Notes in accordance with the redemption provisions of Section 3.2 hereof unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any
Change of Control for which a definitive agreement is in place, the Company or a third party has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly and properly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change
of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes validly and properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer.

     Section 3.5 Effect of Redemption. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, (a) interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, (b) the Notes shall become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (c) the Notes shall be void and all rights of the Holders in respect of the Notes shall terminate and lapse (other than the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Notes but without interest on such Redemption Price). Following the notice of a redemption, neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes to be redeemed. The redemption provisions of Sections 11.5 and 11.6 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

     Section 3.6 Redemption Procedures. One Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Redemption Date, the aggregate Redemption Price for Notes being redeemed. If the Company gives an irrevocable notice of redemption with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof in connection with an optional redemption, and the Company has paid to the Trustee the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed, then, on the Redemption Date, the Trustee shall irrevocably deposit such funds with the Depository. The Company shall also give the Depository irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price in immediately available funds to the Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Notes. If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, then the Redemption Price shall be payable on the next Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). Interest to be paid on or before the Redemption Date for any Notes called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders on the Regular Record Date for the related Interest Payment Dates. If any Notes called for redemption are not so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the Coupon Rate. In exchange for the unredeemed portion of such surrendered Notes, new Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such surrendered Notes shall be issued.

     Section 3.7 No Other Redemption. Except as set forth in this Article 3, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date.

the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements)) in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent, or shall be asserted by the Company or any Guarantor to not be, a valid, perfected, second-priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, the Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement) security interest in or Lien on such Collateral covered thereby;
except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee (or an agent or trustee on its behalf) to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it (or such agent or trustee) representing securities pledged under the Security Documents.



     Section 8.2 Effect of Event of Default.

     (a) In the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 8.1(a)(vii), all Outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Holder of Notes of a series may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:


       (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

       (ii) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Pari Passu Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

       (iii) such Holders of Pari Passu Notes have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

       (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

       (v) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Pari Passu Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.



     (d) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Pari Passu Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, including Additional Interest, if any, or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

       (ii) to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has complied in all material respects with all the conditions and covenants imposed on it under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant or agreement, specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would



-27-












  become, an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status thereof.



     (b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any Event of Default or Default.

ARTICLE 9





GUARANTEE OF NOTES

     Section 9.1 Guarantee.

     (a) Subject to this Article 9, 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 Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:


       (i) the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall 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 shall 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 fails to make payments when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall 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.

     (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their Obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Note Guarantee

-28-











shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

     (c) 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, the Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

     (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall 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, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 of the Base Indenture (as amended hereby) 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 (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 of the Base Indenture (as amended hereby), such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note
Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

     Section 9.2 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 Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any 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 Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall,
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 9, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

     Section 9.3 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, another Person, other than another Guarantor, unless:


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

       (ii) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than that Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or



-29-












  merger assumes all obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture and other agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and

       (iii) at the time of the transaction, the surviving Person (if other than the Guarantor) will have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger, transfer, sale, assignment, conveyance, lease or other transaction and the supplemental indenture in respect thereof comply with this Indenture and that all conditions precedent therein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with;



provided, however, that this Section 9.3 shall not apply to any Guarantor whose Note Guarantee is released and discharged in accordance with Section 9.4.

     Section 9.4 Releases.

     (a) A Guarantor shall be automatically released and relieved of its Obligations under the Note Guarantee without the consent of any Holder of the Notes:


       (i) upon (A) the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Series A Notes (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Series A Notes Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements or as a result of or pursuant to any amendment of the Series A Notes Indenture or Intercreditor Agreements), other than as a result of payment under such Guarantee of the Series A Notes following an “Event of Default” under (and as defined in) the Series A Notes Indenture, or (B) payment in full of the Series A Notes;

       (ii) upon the Notes receiving an Investment Grade Rating from each Rating Agency on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such release; or

       (iii) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided under Sections 11.1 and 11.2 hereof.



     (b) Any Guarantor not released from its Obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 9.4 shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 9.

     (c) To the extent that the Obligations of any Guarantor under its Guarantee of the First Lien Obligations are subordinated, then the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be subordinated to the same extent, as required by the Intercreditor Agreements and subject to the subordination of the obligations of any Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Series A Notes to the same extent.

ARTICLE 10





COLLATERAL

     Section 10.1 Intercreditor Agreements. This Article 10 and the provisions of each other Security Document are subject to the terms, limitations and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements.

     Section 10.2 Security Documents. The payment of the Notes and the Note Guarantee when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents which the Company and the Guarantors and other Grantors (as defined in the Security Agreement) have entered into on the Issue Date and shall be secured as provided by all Security Documents hereafter delivered as required by the Indenture, in each case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document and each Intercreditor Agreement, appoints Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas as Notes Collateral Agent as of the Issue Date, authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement by joinder thereto and the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and, by joinder thereto, each Intercreditor
Agreement, and authorizes and empowers each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent to bind the Holders as set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

     Section 10.3 Release of Liens in Respect of Notes. The Holders authorize the Notes Collateral Agent to release or subordinate Liens upon the Collateral in accordance with, and as required by, the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, and to take any further action and enter into any documentation to evidence the release or subordination of such Lien in accordance with the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements.

     Section 10.4 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. The Company shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 314 to the extent applicable. To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b), relating to reports, and, following qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act (if required), Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities subject to the Lien of the Security Documents and to the substitution therefor of any property to be pledged as Collateral for the Notes, to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) shall be made by an officer of the Company,
except in cases where Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4, the Company shall not be required to comply with all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) if it reasonably determines that under the terms of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) is inapplicable to any release or series of releases of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, certain “no action” letters issued by the Commission have permitted an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act to contain provisions permitting

-31-











the release of Collateral from Liens under such indenture in the ordinary course of the issuer’s business without requiring the issuer to provide certificates and other documents under Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d).

     Section 10.5 Notes Collateral Agent.

     (a) The Holders authorize the Trustee to appoint the Notes Collateral Agent, and the Trustee, on the terms and conditions hereof, hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the Security Documents, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of the Indenture and the Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Notes Collateral Agent shall, subject to the terms hereof, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents: (i) receive the grant of the security interests under the Security Agreement, (ii) hold, manage, receive, endorse and collect on any Collateral,

The execution of this Supplemental Indenture by the Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed an acceptance by the Notes Collateral Agent of the appointment made under this Section 10.5.

     (b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the duties and obligations of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and any other Security Document to which it is a party and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set out in this Indenture or such Security Document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be under no liability to any party hereto by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other Person to perform such Person’s obligations under any such document.

     (c) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in any manner for the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or of any Collateral delivered under the Security Documents, or for the value or collectibility of any Obligations or other instrument, if any, so delivered, or for any representations made or obligations assumed by any party other than the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to examine or inquire into or be liable for any defect or failure in the right or title of the Company or any Guarantor to all or any of such assets whether such defect or failure was known to the Notes Collateral Agent or might have been discovered upon examination or inquiry and whether capable of remedy of not.

     (d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any unsuitability, inadequacy, expiration or unfitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any

-32-











other Security Document nor shall it be obligated to make any investigation into, and shall be entitled to assume, the adequacy and fitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other Security Document.

     (e) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake in act or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     (f) The Notes Collateral Agent may seek the advice, at the expense of the Company, of legal counsel (i) in the event of any dispute or (ii) any question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Indenture or an ambiguity with respect to its duties hereunder or under any Security Document or applicable law, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the advice or written opinion of such counsel.

     (g) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, approval or other paper or document.

     (h) In no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if such loss or damage was foreseeable or it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     (i) In no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, strikes, work stoppages, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, fire, riot, embargo, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture.

     (j) The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to accept and act upon facsimile transmission of written instructions pursuant to this Indenture; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Notes Collateral Agent in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions.

     (k) In the event of (i) any dispute or (ii) any question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Indenture or an ambiguity with respect to its duties hereunder or any of the Security Documents or applicable law, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to seek written directions from the Holders or their representative, prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents, any Collateral instrument or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.

     (l) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Holder for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Security Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.

     (m) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for or liability with respect to monitoring compliance of any other party to the Security Documents, this Indenture or any other document related thereto. The Notes Collateral Agent has no duty to monitor the value or rating of any Collateral on an ongoing basis.

     (n) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Notes Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in any of the Security Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or under any of the Security Documents unless it is indemnified to its satisfaction and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any person for any loss occasioned by any delay in taking or failure to take any such action while it is awaiting an indemnity satisfactory to it.

     (o) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Notes Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Notes Collateral Agent (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel.

     (p) The Notes Collateral Agent may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying in good faith on the opinion or advice of, or information obtained from, any counsel, accountant, investment banker, appraiser or other expert or adviser, whether retained or employed by the Company or by the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise.

     (q) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders or their representative pursuant to this Indenture, unless offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee.

     (v) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Notes Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges,
assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to or monitor the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security
Documents by any other Person.

     (w) The Company and the Guarantors shall on a joint and several basis defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Notes Collateral Agent from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way related to, (w) the presence, disposal, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials which are on, from, or affecting the soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons, animals, or otherwise; (x) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such

For purposes of this paragraph, “Hazardous Materials” includes, without limit, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances, or

Sections 9601, et. seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Sections 5108, et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901, et seq.), and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other Federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance, rule, or regulation. The provisions of this paragraph shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities the Company may have to the Notes Collateral Agent at common law, and shall survive the termination of this Indenture. The provisions of this Section 10.5(w) shall survive the satisfaction, termination or discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Notes Collateral Agent.

     (x) The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree (i) to pay to the Notes Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Notes Collateral Agent shall from time to time agree in writing, (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Notes Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined
to have been caused by its own or its representatives’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct; and (iii) to indemnify the Notes Collateral Agent (which for purposes of this Section 10.5(x) shall include its officers,
directors, employees and agents) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its own or its representatives’ or agents’ part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the agency or agencies under this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents or the Registration Rights Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under such documents, except to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense shall be determined to have been caused by the Notes
Collateral Agent’s own or its representatives’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section 10.5(x) shall survive the satisfaction, termination or discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation
or removal of the Notes Collateral Agent.

     (y) The Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right to conduct an environmental audit prior to foreclosing on any real estate Collateral or mortgage Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right to forebear from foreclosing in its own name if to do so may expose it to undue risk.

     (z) Upon any payment or distribution of assets hereunder, the Notes Collateral Agent, and the Holders shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to

       (ii) with respect to such series of Notes, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;



-37-












       (iii) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series; and

     Section 11.2 Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

     (a) The Company may at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes of any series and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees of such series (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:


       (i) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest including Additional Interest, if any, or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 11.2(c);

-38-











with respect to Notes of any series (“Covenant Defeasance”), and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, the events set forth under Section 8.1(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) hereof shall no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series.

     (c) The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 11.2(a) or (b) to any Outstanding Notes of any series:


       (i) The Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such series, Cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Obligations, or a combination of Cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Obligations, in amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest, premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Outstanding Notes of such series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

       (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

       (iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

       (v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;



-39-












       (vi) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of such series over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

     Section 12.2 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, will have any liability for any Obligation of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such Obligations or their creation.

The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

     Section 12.3 Subordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment obligations hereunder are subject to the provisions of: (i) the Senior Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the Junior Intercreditor Agreement.

		 	FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL SECURITY
		 	 
		1.	Interest
	 
		 	CIT GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and
		assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”),
		promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.
		The Company shall pay interest quarterly on February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10
		of each year, commencing August 10, 2011. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most
		recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from June [ ], 2011.
		Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
	 
		2.	Method of Payment
	 
		 	The Company shall 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 10, May 10, August
		10 and November 10 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after
		the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a
		Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in
		money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
		private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including
		principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
		funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company shall make all
		payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest)
		by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however , that
		payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account
		maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire
		transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating
		such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or
		such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).
	 
		3.	Paying Agent and Security Registrar
	 
		 	Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying
		Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent,
		Security Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary
		may act as Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-registrar.
	 
		4.	Indenture
	  
		 	The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of
		March 30, 2011 and a Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with
		the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) dated as of June [ ], 2011, among the Company, the
		Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the




Exhibit A-1-6









			
	  	Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
		(15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Act”). Terms defined
		in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The
		Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a
		statement of those terms.
	 
		 	The Notes are secured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, to
		issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Base Indenture. The Notes issued on
		the Issue Date and any Additional Securities shall be treated as a single class for all purposes
		under the Indenture.
	 
		5.	Optional Redemption

		a part of any Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
		redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the date of
		redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on a relevant record date to receive
		interest due on a relevant Interest Payment Date; provided, that no Notes may be redeemed while
		any Series A Notes maturing in the same year as such Notes remain outstanding.
	 
		 	If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes shall be
		redeemed on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 11.3 of the Base Indenture.
	 
		 	Any redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Indenture that is in
		part processed through DTC shall be treated in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC
		as a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal” (as defined under such rules and
		procedures). Except to the extent modified by this Indenture, the provisions of Article 11 of the
		Base Indenture shall apply to redemptions of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.2.
	 
		 	In addition to the Company’s right to redeem Notes as set forth in Section 3.2 of the
		Supplemental Indenture, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in
		open market transactions, tender offers or otherwise.
	 
		6.	Purchase at the Option of Holders Upon Optional Redemption or Purchase of Series A
		 	Notes
	 
		 	Prior to January 1, 2012, if the Company consummates an optional redemption of, or an
		offer to purchase all, or any percentage of, the outstanding Series A Notes maturing in any year,
		the Company shall make an offer to purchase for all, or an equal percentage, respectively, of the
		outstanding Notes maturing in such year on the same basis in accordance with the procedures
		described under Section 3.3 of the Supplemental Indenture.

		 	Any redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Indenture that is in
		part processed through DTC shall be treated in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC
		as a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal” (as defined under such rules and
		procedures). Except to the extent modified by the Indenture, the provisions of Article 11 of the
		Base Indenture shall apply to redemptions of Notes pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Supplemental
		Indenture.
	 
		8.	Change of Control
	 
		 	Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be
		obligated to make an offer to purchase and each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the
		Company to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple
		of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth
		herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in
		cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased plus accrued and
		unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes purchased to the date of purchase,
		subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
		relevant Interest Payment Date.
	 
		9.	Guarantees
	 
		 	The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Notes
		is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by each of the
		Guarantors on the terms set forth in the Indenture.
	 
		10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange
	 
		 	The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal
		amount and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange
		Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Security Registrar may require a Holder, among
		other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and
		fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Security Registrar need not register the
		transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be
		redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15
		days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

		if the Company deposits with the Trustee Cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
		Obligations, or a combination of Cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Obligations,

The Company shall pay interest quarterly on February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10 of each year, commencing August 10, 2011. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from June [ ], 2011. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment

     The Company

payments.  The Company  shall pay  principal and interest in money of the United
States  that at the time of  payment is legal  tender for  payment of public and
private  debts.  Payments in respect of the Notes  represented  by a Global Note
(including  principal,  premium,  if any,  and  interest)  shall be made by wire
transfer  of  immediately  available  funds  to the  accounts  specified  by The
Depository  Trust  Company.  The Company shall make all payments in respect of a
certificated  Security (including  principal,  premium, if any, and interest) by
mailing  a  check  to  the   registered   address   of  each   Holder   thereof;
provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security shall
be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a
bank in the United  States if such  Holder  elects  payment by wire  transfer by
giving  written  notice  to the  Trustee  or the  Paying  Agent  to such  effect
designating  such  account  no  later  than 30 days  immediately  preceding  the
relevant  due date for  payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in
its discretion).

3. Paying Agent and Security Registrar

In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes purchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

Facsimile: (212) 553-2460

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration



Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[   ] principal amount of the [    ] % Series C Second-Priority Secured Notes due [    ] (the “Notes”) of CIT Group Inc. (the “Company”).

     Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

Name:___________________

Address:___________________

Taxpayer ID Number:___________________

     The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

     1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

     2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which either the Company or any affiliate of such Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a

Exhibit D-1









qualified institutional buyer (as defined in
rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of
Rule  144A,  (b)  outside  the  United  States  in an  offshore  transaction  in
accordance  with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant
to an exemption from registration  under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144
thereunder  (if  applicable)  or  (d)  pursuant  to  an  effective  registration
statement  under  the  Securities  Act,  in each of  cases  (a)  through  (d) in
accordance  with any  applicable  securities  laws of any  state  of the  United
States. In addition,  we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify
any purchaser of the Note evidenced hereby of the resale  restrictions set forth
above.  The foregoing  restrictions  on resale will not apply  subsequent to the
Resale  Restriction  Termination  Date.  If any resale or other  transfer of the
Notes  is   proposed  to  be  made  to  an   institutional   “accredited
investor”  prior  to  the  Resale  Restriction  Termination  Date,  the
transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee  substantially in the form
of this letter to the Company and the Trustee,  which shall provide, among other
things,   that   the   transferee   is  an   institutional   “accredited
investor”  within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1),  (2), (3) or (7) under
the Securities  Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment  purposes
and not for  distribution  in violation of the  Securities  Act. Each  purchaser
acknowledges  that the Company  and the  Trustee  reserve the right prior to the
offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale  Restriction  Termination Date
of the Notes pursuant to clause 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) above to require the delivery
of an opinion of counsel,  certifications or other  information  satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee.
