     (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will
be substantially in the form of Exhibits A1 or
A2 hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in
the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the
form of Exhibit Al hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of
Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent
such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it
represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any
endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder
thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

     (c) Temporary
Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued
initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on
behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its New York office
currently located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, as custodian for the Depositary,
and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of
designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated

25

 

by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will be terminated upon the receipt
by the Trustee of:

     (1) a written certificate from the Depositary, together with copies of certificates
from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of
non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof
who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption
from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial
ownership interest in a 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note bearing a Private Placement
Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof); and

     (2) an Officers’ Certificate from the Company.

     Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent
Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the
Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global
Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation
S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with
transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

     (3)
Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The
provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of
Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer
Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note that are held
by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

     At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

     If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

     A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

     The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by at least one
Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly
issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of
Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized
for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in
Section 2.07 hereof.

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

26

 

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

     The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and
exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any
Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a
party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or
Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent or Registrar. If the Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company and
the Company is the Paying Agent, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premiums and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with these instructions. All other
payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within
the City and State of New York currently located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286,
unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address
in the register of Holders.

     The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with
respect to the Global Notes. The Company may change the Depository at any time without notice to
any Holder, but the Company will notify the Trustee of the name and address of any new Depository.

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

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

     The Company and the Guarantors shall furnish or caused to be furnished to the Trustee at
stated intervals of not more than six months, and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing, all information in the possession or control of such obligor, or any of its paying
agents, as to the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Trustee shall preserve, in as
current form as is reasonably practicable, all such information so furnished to it or received by
it in the capacity of Paying Agent. The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall otherwise
comply with TIA § 77111(a).

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

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

     (2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but

Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion
thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and

the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a
U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than
an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global
Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form

Registrar to effect the transfers described in this
Section 2.06(b)(1).

and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the Registrar so

     (3) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. A Holder of
Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery

     (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order
in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate:

     (1) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the

Definitive Notes so accepted Unrestricted Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON.”

     (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests
in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note
has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be
returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or
transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such
Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an

38

 

endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction
of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or
transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will
be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to
reflect such increase.

(i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

     (1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and
the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an
Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

     (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10,
3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

     (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

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

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

     (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and
the next succeeding interest payment date.

     (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the
Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note
is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee,
any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

39

 

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

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

     If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, which may include a
certificate from the Holder thereof in accordance with Section 12.05 of the Indenture, the Company
will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company,
an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee
and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from
any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Note.

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

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

     The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for
those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in
a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those
described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the
Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

     If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it, which may include a certificate in accordance with
Section 12.05 of the Indenture, that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser and shall
be deemed cancelled for all purposes.

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

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

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

     In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred
in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control
with the Company or any Guarantor, shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or
consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

40

 

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

     Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this
Indenture.
 Section 2.11 Cancellation.

     The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled
Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the
destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company promptly following cancellation.
The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

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

	 	(2)	 	the redemption date;
	 
	 	(3)	 	the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	the redemption price.

41

 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

     If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any
time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis unless
otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

     In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or
purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60
days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not
previously called for redemption or purchase.

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

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days
before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a
notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address,
except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

     The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

     (1) the redemption date;

     (2) the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

42

 

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

     Notes.

     At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name
and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45
days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding
paragraph.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

     One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the
Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and
accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that
date. Such funds deposited with the Trustee will be held in a money market account with Bank of New
York, N.A. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Notes
to be redeemed or purchased.

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

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

     Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the
expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased
portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

Equity Interests.

     (b) [intentionally omitted].

     (c) On or after November 1, 2010, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not
less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the

Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

     (e) At any time prior to November 1, 2010, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the
Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each
Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages,
if any, to the applicable date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption.

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

Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

     In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an
offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures
specified below.

     The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that
is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale
Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and
not more than 30 Business

44

 

Days,
except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable
law (the “Offer Period”).
No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”),
the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”)to the purchase of Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer
Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale
Offer. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as
interest payments are made.

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

     Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a
notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain
all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the
Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

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

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

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

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

     (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may
elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only;

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

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

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

45

     In addition, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Registration

     (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such
preferred stock being held by a Person other than Parent, HoldCo, the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

     (B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not
either Parent, HoldCo, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such
Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

     (8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations
as required under the Credit Agreement or in the ordinary course of business;

     (9) the guarantee by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness of
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another
provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated
to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee shall be
subordinated or pari passu, as
applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

     (10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in
respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances,
performance bonds, completion bonds, bid bonds, appeals bonds and surety bonds, or other similar
bonds or obligations, in the ordinary course of business, and any Guarantees or letters of credit
functioning as or supporting any of the foregoing;

     (11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar
instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered
within five Business Days;

55

 

     (12) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit required to be issued on behalf of Royal Street
in accordance with the Royal Street Agreements or in connection with any Permitted Joint
Venture Investment;

     (13) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness for relocation or clearing obligations relating to the Company’s or any of its
Restricted Subsidiary’s FCC licenses in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed $50.0 million;

     (14) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Contribution Indebtedness;

     (15) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) used to finance an acquisition or a merger
with another Person, provided that, the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any
such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), on the
date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing
transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter
period, would either (a) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof or (b) have
a Debt to Cash Flow Ratio no greater than the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction; and

     (16) the incurrence by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of additional
Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time
outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund,
refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause
(16), not to exceed $75.0 million.

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

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of
proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt
described in clauses (1) through (16) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section
4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of
Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of
Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Credit
Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this
Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception
provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest, the accretion
or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the
form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as
Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on
Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will
not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for
purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in
Consolidated Interest

56

 

Expense of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the
maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to
this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in
exchange rates or currency values.

     The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

     (132) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued
with original issue discount;

     (133) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness;
and

     (134) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of
the specified Person, the lesser of:

     (A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

     (B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

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

     (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the
assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

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

     (A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance
sheet (or as would be shown on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of the
date of such Asset Sale), of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the
Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets
pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

     (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any
such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 30 days after such Asset Sale, to the
extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

     (C) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the
next paragraph of this Section 4.10.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to above shall be deemed satisfied
with respect to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration
received

57

 

therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision on an after-tax basis, is equal
to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with
the aforementioned 75% limitation

     Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds:

     (1) to prepay, repay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire Indebtedness and
other Obligations under a Credit Facility or Indebtedness secured by property that is
subject to such Asset Sale and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving
credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

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

     (3) to make a capital expenditure; or

     (4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and
that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a binding written agreement
irrevocably committing the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to an application of funds of the
kind described in clause (2), (3) or (4) above, and as to which the only condition to closing not
satisfied within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds is the receipt of required
governmental approvals, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be in
violation of the preceding paragraph so long as such application of funds is consummated within 545
days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds.

     Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce
revolving credit borrowings or otherwise use the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited
by this Indenture.

     An amount equal to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the third paragraph of this Section 4.10 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, within ten (10) days thereof, the
Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness
that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance
with Section 3.09 hereof to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale
Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds
remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale
Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select
the Notes and such other pari
passu Indebtedness to be purchased on &pro rota basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer,
the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable in

58

 

connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09
hereof or this Section 4.10 or compliance with Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 would
constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

     (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any
payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or
purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of
the Company (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

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

     (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

     (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of
this Section 4.11(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

     (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, an
opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate
Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing.

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

     (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, agreement or plan relating to
employee or officer compensation, officer or director indemnification agreement or any
similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
existing on the date of the Indenture, or entered into thereafter in the ordinary course of
business, and any indemnities or other transactions permitted or required by bylaw,
statutory provisions or any of the foregoing agreements, plans or arrangements and payments
pursuant thereto;

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

     (3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company)
that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a
Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

59

 

     (4) payment of reasonable directors’ fees;

     (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to, or receipt of any capital contribution from, any Affiliate of the Company;

     (6) transactions with Royal Street in accordance with the applicable Royal Street
Agreements and transactions in connection with any Permitted Joint Venture Investment;

     (7) any Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07
hereof; and

     (8) any contracts, agreements or understandings existing as of the date of the
Indenture and disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Parent for
the year ended December 31, 2005 or for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and any
amendments to or replacements of such contracts, agreements or understandings so long as
any such amendment or replacement, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the
Company or to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement
as in effect on the date of the Indenture.

Section 4.12 Liens.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness upon any asset
now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless the Notes are equally and ratably
secured (except that Liens securing Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the Notes
shall be expressly subordinate to any Lien securing the Notes to at least the same extent that
such Indebtedness is subordinate to the Notes).

Section 4.13 Business Activities.

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

Section 4.14 Corporate Existence.

     Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect:

     (1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same
may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and

     (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries;

     provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license
or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss
thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes; provided, further,
that the foregoing shall not prohibit any

60

 

merger, conversion, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 5.01 of the
Indenture.

Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of
Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date
(the “Change of Control Payment”). Within thirty days following any Change of Control, the Company
will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the
Change of Control and stating:

     (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and
that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

     (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days
and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control
Payment Date”);

     (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

     (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment,
all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue
interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

     (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the
Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the
third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

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

     (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple
thereof.

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions
of Sections 3.09 or 4.15 hereof or compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.09 or 4.15 hereof
would constitute a violations of any such laws or regulations, the Company will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

61

 

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

     (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer;

     (2) 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

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

     The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five Business Days after
the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount
of $2,000 or an integral amount of $1,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the
Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company will not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (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 Section 4.15 and Section 3.09 hereof and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption
has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of
the applicable redemption price.

Section 4.16 Payments for Consent.

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

Section 4.17 Additional Note Guarantees.

     If (a) the Company or any of the Company’s Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or
creates another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture or (b) any
Subsidiary of Parent (other than the Company) Guarantees any Credit Facility of the Company after
the date of the Indenture, then the Company or Parent, as applicable, will cause that newly
acquired or created Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Subsidiary of Parent to execute a Note
Guarantee in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, pursuant to a supplemental
indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, and deliver an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee within 10 Business Days after the date on which it
was acquired or created or guarantees such Credit Facility, as applicable.

Section 4.18 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

     The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary
is

62

 

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

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

Section 4.19 Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade

     If on any date following the date of the Indenture:

     (1) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or any successor company acquiring
all or substantially all of its assets) and BBB- or better by S&P (or any successor company
acquiring all or substantially all of its assets) (or, if either such entity ceases to exist
or ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the
equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized
statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the
Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and

     (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than
with respect to Sections of the Indenture listed in the following list),

then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the
provisions of the following Sections of the Indenture will be suspended: 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.18 and clause (3) (to the extent that a Default or Event of Default exists by reason of
one or more of the Sections in this list) and (4) of Section 5.01.

     During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Company’s Board of
Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant Section
4.18 or the second paragraph of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

63

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the rating assigned by either such rating agency should
subsequently decline to below Baa3 or BBB-, respectively, the foregoing covenants will be
reinstituted as of and from the date of such rating decline and any actions taken, or omitted to
be taken, before such rating decline that would have been prohibited had the foregoing covenants
been in effect shall not form the basis for a Default or an Event of Default. Calculations under
the reinstated Section 4.07 will be made as if Section 4.07 had been in effect since the date of
the Indenture except that no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by
reason of a Restricted Payment made while Section 4.07 was suspended.

ARTICLE 5

SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

     The Company shall not: (i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not
the Company is the surviving corporation); or (2) directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer,
convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another
Person, unless:

     (1) either:

     (A) the Company is the surviving corporation; or

     (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition has been made is a corporation, limited liability company or
partnership organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of
the United States or the District of Columbia; provided that if such Person is not a
corporation, such Person immediately causes a Subsidiary that is a corporation
organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
States or the District of Columbia to be added as a co-issuer of the Notes under the
Indenture;

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

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

     (4) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro
forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at
the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either (a) be permitted to incur at
least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set
forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof or (b) have a Debt to Cash Flow Ratio no greater than the
Debt to Cash Flow Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such transaction.

64

 

     In addition, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of
the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more
related transactions, to any other Person.

     This Section 5.01 will not apply to:

     (135) a merger of the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of
reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction; or

     (136) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance,
lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries.

Section 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted.

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

Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after
the date of this Indenture, if that default:

     (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on,
such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness
on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

     (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment
Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or

during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or decree, by reason of pending appeal or
otherwise, is not in effect;

     (7) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any

that:

66

 

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

     (B) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary; or

     (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted

days; or

     (9) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and
effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or
disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

     In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof,
with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

     Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if
any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

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

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

67

 

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event
of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest
on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such
acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

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

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

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

     (1) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is
continuing;

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

     (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

     (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

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

     A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a
Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

68

 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any,
and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and outside counsel, and the reasonable and actual expenses of its inside
counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10 Priorities.

     If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in
the following order:

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

69

 

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

     Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall
direct.

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any
such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

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

     (1) the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are
specifically set out in this Indenture; and

     (2) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
such Trustee, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but the Trustee shall examine the evidence furnished to it
pursuant to TIA § 77nnn to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the
requirements of this Indenture.

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

     (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

     (2) the Trustee will not be liable for and shall be protected pursuant to the
indemnification provisions in Section 7.07 hereof from, any error of judgment made in good
faith

70

 

by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

     (3) the Trustee will not be liable for and shall be protected pursuant to the
indemnification provisions in Section 7.07 hereof from, any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05

any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.

     (e) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and

have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in the document.

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee
may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be
full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

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

     (f) The Trustee will 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 unless such Holders have
offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against the losses, liabilities and
expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest it

71

 

must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee
(if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like
rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any
provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with
the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall give to Holders of Notes in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection
(c) of TIA § 77mmm, notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence
thereof; provided, that the Indenture shall automatically be deemed to provide that, except in the
case of default in the payment of principal of or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if
any, on any Notes, the Trustee shall be protected pursuant to the indemnification provisions in
Section 7.07 hereof in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers, of the Trustee
in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

     (a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the
Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 77mmm(a) (but if no
event described in TIA § 77mmm(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting
date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 77mmm(b)(2). The
Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 77mmm(c).

     (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by
the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which

Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse
the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred
or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and outside counsel
and the reasonable and actual expenses of its inside counsel.

72

 

     (b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing
this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other
Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it
may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or
any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the
claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the
Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any
Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent.

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

     (d) To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien
will survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture.

     (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(7) or (8) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     (f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 77mmm(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

     (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section
7.08.

     (b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such
resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may
remove the Trustee if:

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

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

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

     (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

73

 

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

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

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

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

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:

     (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the

     (4) this Article 8.

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

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

     Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants
contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15,4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 hereof and
clause (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and
the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with
such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes
hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).
For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to

75

 

the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with
and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(8)
(in the case of Sections 6.01(7) and 6.01(8), only with respect to the Company’s Subsidiaries)
hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

     In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof:

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

     (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

     (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling; or

     (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and
will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not
occurred;

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

     (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be 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 deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute

76

 

a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor
is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

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

     (6) 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 Notes over
the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding any creditors of the Company or others;

     (7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

     (8) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exclusions), stating
that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (2), (3) and (5) of this Section 8.04, as
applicable, have been complied with; provided that the Opinion of Counsel with respect to
clause (5) of this Section 8.04 may be to the knowledge of such counsel.

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

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

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

     Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable
Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)
hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect
an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

77

 

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company.

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

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

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

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

     Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee
may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of
any Holder of Note:

     (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

     (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes;

     (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the
Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor
pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

     (4) to effect the release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee and the termination of
such Note Guarantee, all in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture governing such
release and termination;

     (5) to add any Subsidiary Guarantee or to secure the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee;

78

 

     (6) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any
Holder;

     (7) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

     (8) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated
October 26, 2006, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such
provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes;

     (9) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations
set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; or

     (10) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee
with respect to the Notes.

     Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company
and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into
such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

     Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and
the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation,
Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and,
subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if
any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has
been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note
Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any)
voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall
determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

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

79

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required
by Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof);

     (8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this
Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

     (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

80

 

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

     Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a
Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of
the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on the Business Day immediately prior to the date the
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

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

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

     (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of
this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

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

     (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in

81

 

accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise.

     Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection.

     (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 of the Notes with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will 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, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force
and effect.

     (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof 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 (2) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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

82

 

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

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

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

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

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

     In the event that (a) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires
any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture or (b) any Subsidiary of
Parent (other than the Company) Guarantees any Credit Facility of the Company after the date of
the Indenture, if required by Section 4.17 hereof, the Company or Parent, as applicable will cause
such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Subsidiary of Parent to comply with the provisions of
Section 4.17 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

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

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor (other than Parent) may
sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or
merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other
than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

     (2) either:

          (a) subject to Section 10.05 hereof and if it is not already a Guarantor, the Person
acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that
Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement on
the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

          (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10
hereof.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the
successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by
the Guarantor,

83

 

such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as
if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed
any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note
Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture
as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.

     Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b)
above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation
or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale
or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05 Releases.

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

     (b) Upon designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its
Note Guarantee.

     (c) Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved
of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

     Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this
Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this
Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

     This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes
issued hereunder, when:

84

 

     (1) either:

          (a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that
have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or

          (b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become
due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will
become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the
benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any
reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

     (2)  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)

      (3) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company
or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

      (4) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it
under this Indenture; and

      (5) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this
Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the
redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the
Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

     In addition, the Company must deliver to the trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate, stating
that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above have been satisfied, and
(b) an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and
qualifications), stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (3) and (5) above have
been satisfied; provided that the Opinion of Counsel with respect to clause (3) above may be to
the knowledge of such counsel.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of
Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be

the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled
thereto, of the principal (and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any) and interest for whose
payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

     If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in
accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof;
provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages,
if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Indenture]

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

     (1) Interest. MetroPCS Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9
1/4% per annum from                     , 20     
until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5
of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year,
or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance;
provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note
is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 1, 2007.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     (2) Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the April 15 or October 15 next preceding the Interest Payment
Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest
Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any,
and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or
without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their
addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest,
premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders
of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.
Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

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

     (4) Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture
dated as of November 3, 2006 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the
extent any provision of this Note

A1-2

 

     conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The
Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued
thereunder.

     (5) Optional Redemption.

     (a) On or after November 1, 2010, the Company will have the option to redeem all or a
part of the Notes upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the
rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment
date:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Percentage	 
	2010
	 	 	104.625	%
	2011
	 	 	102.313	%
	20 12 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%

     Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable
redemption date.

     At any time prior to November 1, 2010, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the
Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each
Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, to the applicable date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior
to November 1, 2009, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture with the net cash proceeds of one
or more sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or contributions
to the Company’s common equity capital made with the net cash proceeds of one or more sales of
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Parent; provided that at least 65% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the
Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption and that such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale
of Equity Interests.

     (6) Mandatory Redemption.

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

     (7) Repurchase at The Option Of Holder.

          (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an
offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date (the “Change of Control

A1-3

 

Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each
Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the
Indenture.

          (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates any Asset Sales,
within ten days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0
million, the Company will commence an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in
the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an
“Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon
to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the
extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company
(or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by
the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select
the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of
Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the
Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing
the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

     (8) Notice Of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its
registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a
redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a
satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder
are to be redeemed.

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

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

     (11) Amendment, Supplement And Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent
of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes

A1-4

Event or Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note
Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class.
Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may
be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the
assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note
Guarantees in case of a merger or consolidation, to effect the release of a Guarantor from its Note
Guarantee and the termination of such Note Guarantee (all accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture governing such release and termination), to add any Subsidiary Guarantee or to secure the
Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the
Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to conform the text of the Indenture or
the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering
Memorandum dated October 26, 2006, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent
that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes; to provide for the issuance of
Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any
Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect
to the Notes.

     (12) Defaults And Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in
the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to the Notes;
(ii) default in the payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes when
the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption (including in connection with an
offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries for 30 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding
voting as a single class to comply with Section 4.10 or 4.15 (in each case other than a failure to
purchase Notes which will constitute an Event of Default under clause (ii)) or 5.01 of the
Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after
notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class to
comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture or the Note; (v) default under certain
other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default results in the acceleration
of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) certain final judgments for the payment
of money aggregating in excess of $25.0 million that remain undischarged for a period of 60
consecutive days, (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and (viii) except as
permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be
unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor
or any Person acting on its behalf denies or disaffirms its obligations under such Guarantor’s
Note Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to
be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become
due

A1-5

 

and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or
the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the
payment of principal or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any,) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding 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

issued thereunder.

redemption date.

     At any time prior to November 1, 2010, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the

$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment

other part passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer
price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness
tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or
such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited
by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pan passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a

to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
Notes; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations
set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to

its behalf denies or disaffirms its obligations under such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. If any Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is
a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust
or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or
Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or
interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any,) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
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 or premium or
Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver
to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is
required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a
statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

     (32) Trustee
Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

     (33) No
Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder
of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
