	3.	 	ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE PLAN.

	 	(a)	 	GENERAL. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the
exclusive authority and responsibility to make all determinations and take all other actions
necessary or desirable for the Plan’s administration, including, without limitation, the power to:
(i) select Participants; (ii) determine the amount of Awards granted to Participants under the
Plan; (iii) determine the conditions and restrictions, if any, subject to which the payment of
Awards will be made; (iv) certify that the conditions and restrictions applicable to the payment of
any Award have been met; (v) interpret the Plan; and (vi) adopt, amend, or rescind such rules and
regulations, and correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the
Plan in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to carry out its responsibilities
under the Plan. All decisions of the Committee on any question concerning the selection of
Participants and the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties. The Committee may rely on information, and consider recommendations
provided by the Board or the executive officers of the Company.
	 
	 	(b)	 	PLAN EXPENSES. The expenses of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
	 
	 	(c)	 	UNFUNDED ARRANGEMENT. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or
separate fund or make any other segregation of assets to assume the payment of any Award under the
Plan. The Plan shall be “unfunded” for all purposes and Awards hereunder shall be paid out of the
general assets of the Company as and when the Awards are payable under the Plan. All Participants
shall be solely unsecured general creditors of the Company. If the Company decides in its sole
discretion to establish any advance accrued reserve on its books against the future expense of the
Awards payable hereunder, or if the Company decides in its sole discretion to fund a trust from
which Plan benefits may be paid from time to time, such reserve or trust shall not under any
circumstance be deemed to be an asset of the Plan.
	 
	 	(d)	 	DELEGATION. The Committee may, in its discretion, delegate its authority and
responsibility under the Plan unless prohibited by applicable law.
	 
	 	(e)	 	ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS. The Committee shall maintain such accounts and records regarding
the fiscal and other transactions of the Plan and such other data as may be required to carry out
its functions under the Plan and to comply with all applicable laws.
	 
	 	(f)	 	RETENTION OF PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE. The Committee may employ such legal counsel,
accountants and other persons as may be required in carrying out its duties in connection with the
Plan.
	 
	 	(g)	 	INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as
members of the Board, the members of the Committee and the Board shall be indemnified by the
Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by

A-2

 

	 	 	 	reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any right
granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided
that such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by
them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding; provided that
any such Board or Committee member shall be entitled to the indemnification rights set forth in
this Section 3(g) only if such member has acted in good faith and in a manner that such member
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was
unlawful; and provided, further, that upon the institution of any such action, suit
or proceeding, a Board or Committee member shall give the Company written notice thereof and an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board or Committee
member undertakes to handle and defend it on such Board or Committee member’s own behalf.

	4.	 	ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.

     Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those employees of the Company or its
subsidiaries selected by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion, and no person
shall be entitled to any Award for a Performance Period unless the individual is designated as a
Participant for the Performance Period. The Committee may add to or delete individuals from the
list of designated Participants at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion,
provided that once a person is designated as a Participant for a Performance Period such
person shall not be removed as a Participant during such Performance Period. No Participant who is
granted an Award under the Plan shall have any right to a grant of future Awards under the Plan.
By accepting any payment under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through
such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated such person’s acceptance and
ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company or the Committee.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, determinations made by the Committee under the
Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among eligible employees under the Plan,
whether or not such employees are similarly situated.

	5.	 	GRANT OF AWARDS; PAYMENT OF AWARDS.

	 	(a)	 	AWARDS. The Committee shall establish the terms and conditions applicable to any Award
granted under the Plan and a Participant shall be eligible to receive an Award under the Plan in
accordance with such terms and conditions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may grant
Awards subject to any or all of the following: (i) attainment of time-based vesting conditions;
(ii) attainment of any Performance Goal established by the Committee with respect to any
Performance Period; or (iii) the Committee’s evaluation of a Participant’s individual performance
for the Company and/or its subsidiaries. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend or
modify the terms and conditions applicable to an Award (provided that the consent of an
affected Participant shall be required prior to any amendment or modification that adversely
affects a Participant’s outstanding Awards) and may elect to pay all or any portion of an Award to
a Participant regardless of whether any Award is payable in accordance with the terms and
conditions originally established by the Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	TIME OF PAYMENT. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(d) hereof, Awards under the Plan
shall be paid not later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the expiration of

A-3

 

	 	 	 	the applicable Performance Period with respect to which the Awards are earned.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may defer payment of all or any portion of any Awards
with such conditions as the Committee may determine and may permit a Participant electively to
defer receipt of all or a portion of an Award, in each case, taking into account the requirements
of Section 409A.

	 	(c)	 	FORM OF PAYMENT. In the sole discretion of the Committee, Awards may be paid in whole or
in part in cash, Common Stock or other property, provided that any Common Stock to be
awarded as part of an Award hereunder shall be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of any
stockholder-approved equity plan of the Company (if any) as in effect from time to time. To the
extent that there is no stockholder-approved equity plan of the Company with an available share
reserve to cover the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the payment of any Award
hereunder, the full amount of the Award shall be paid in cash.
	 
	 	(d)	 	IMPACT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion, the right to any payment in respect of an Award hereunder shall be subject to the
Participant’s continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries on the applicable date of
payment of the Award.

	6.	 	NON-ASSIGNABILITY.

     No Award or payment thereof nor any right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to
anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, garnishment, execution or levy of
any kind or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber and to
the extent permitted by applicable law, charge, garnish, execute upon or levy upon the same shall
be void and shall not be recognized or given effect by the Company.

	7.	 	SUCCESSORS.

     For purposes of the Plan, the Company shall include any and all successors or assignees,
whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company and such successors and assignees shall
perform the Company’s obligations under the Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. In
the event that the surviving corporation in any transaction to which the Company is a party is a
subsidiary of another corporation, the ultimate parent corporation of such surviving corporation
shall cause the surviving corporation to perform the obligations of the Company under the Plan in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform such
obligations if no such succession or assignment had taken place. In such event, the term
“Company,” as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company, as hereinbefore defined, and any
successor or assignee (including the ultimate parent corporation) to the business or assets thereof
which by reason hereof becomes bound by the terms and provisions of the Plan.

A-4

 

	8.	 	NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT.

     Nothing in the Plan or in any notice of an Award shall confer upon any person the right to
continue in the employment of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affect the right of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Participant at any time or
for any reason (or no reason).

	9.	 	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.

     The Board reserves the right, subject to shareholder approval to the extent required by
applicable law, regulation or exchange listing rules, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at
any time, provided that no amendment, suspension or termination may adversely affect the
rights of any Participant with regard to any outstanding Award. In no event may any such
amendment, suspension or termination result in an increase in the amount of compensation payable
pursuant to any Award under the Plan.

	10.	 	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN.

     The Board approved the Plan effective as of February 10, 2011,

	11.	 	SEVERABILITY.

     In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in the Plan shall, for any
reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan and the Plan shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained
therein.

	12.	 	WITHHOLDING.

     The Company shall have the right to make such provisions as it deems necessary or appropriate
to satisfy any obligations it may have under applicable law to withhold federal, state or local
income or other taxes incurred by reason of the payment of Awards under the Plan.

	13.	 	GOVERNING LAW.

     The Plan and any amendments hereto shall be construed, administered, and governed in all
respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the law that might
otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws).

	14.	 	COMPANY RECOUPMENT OF AWARDS.

	 	(a)	 	GENERAL. In the event of a material inaccuracy in the Company’s statements of earnings,
gains or other criteria that reduces previously reported net income or increases previously
reported net loss, the Company shall have the right to take appropriate action to recoup from a
Participant any portion of any Award received by a Participant the payment of which was tied to the
achievement of one or more specific earnings targets (e.g., revenue, expenses, operating
income, net income, etc.), with respect to the period for which such financial statements are
materially inaccurate, regardless of whether such Participant engaged in any

A-5

 

	 	 	 	misconduct or was at fault or responsible in any way for causing the material inaccuracy, if,
as a result of such material inaccuracy, such Participant otherwise would not have received payment
in respect of such Award (or portion thereof). In the event that the Company is entitled to, and
seeks, recoupment under this Section 14, such Participant shall promptly reimburse the after-tax
portion (after taking into account all available deductions in respect of such reimbursement) of
such Award which the Company is entitled to recoup hereunder. In the event that such Participant
fails to make prompt reimbursement of any such Award which the Company is entitled to recoup and as
to which the Company seeks recoupment hereunder, the Company shall have the right to (i) deduct the
amount to be reimbursed hereunder from the compensation or other payments due to the Participant
from the Company, or (ii) take any other appropriate action to recoup such payments. The Company’s
right of recoupment pursuant to this Section 14 shall apply only if the demand for recoupment is
made not later than three (3) years following the payment of the applicable Award.

	 	(b)	 	REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE LAW. The rights contained in this Section 14 shall be in
addition to, and shall not limit, any other rights or remedies that the Company may have under law
or in equity, including, without limitation, (i) any right that the Company may have under any
other Company recoupment policy or other agreement or arrangement with a Participant, or (ii) any
right or obligation that the Company may have regarding the clawback of “incentive-based
compensation” under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as determined
by the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission).

	15.	 	SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE.

     The Plan is intended to either comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section
409A. To the extent that the Plan is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, the Plan is
intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and
interpreted in accordance with such intent. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to amend
the provisions of the Plan at any time and in any manner without the consent of Participants solely
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of the additional tax,
interest or income inclusion under Section 409A on any payment to be made hereunder while
preserving, to the maximum extent possible, the intended economic result of the Award of any
affected Participant. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax,
interest, income inclusion or other penalty that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A or
for damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the
Plan, to the extent that the payment of an Award is to be made as a result of a Participant’s
“separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) and such Participant is a “specified
employee” (as defined under Section 409A) of the Company at the time of such “separation from
service,” the payment of the Award shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such
“separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of such Participant’s death) and shall instead
be paid in the manner set forth for the applicable Award upon expiration of such delay period.

A-6

 

	16.	 	TITLES AND HEADINGS.

     The headings and titles used in the Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Plan.

THE NOTES

     Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

          (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by
law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The
Notes shall be issued in registered, global form without interest coupons and only shall be in
minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

          The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of
this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to
the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the
provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

          (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached 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 shall be

and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each
Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each

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 shall be made by the
Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.07
hereof.

          (c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating

by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

          One Officer of the Company shall 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 shall nevertheless be valid.

27

 

          A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence and the only evidence, that the Note has been authenticated
and delivered under this Indenture.

          The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is unlimited.

          The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company
(an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue on the date hereof of $300.0
million. At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue in aggregate
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order. The Authentication Order shall specify
the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated.
In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in
relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in
relying upon:

     (A) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company in or pursuant to which the terms of the Notes were established, certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted
by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such
certificate;

     (B) an Officers’ Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 12.04(i)
hereof; and

     (C) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state:

     (1) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights and to general equity principles; and

     (2) that all laws and corporate requirements in respect of the
execution and delivery by the Company of such Notes have been complied with.

          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this
Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be
taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to
personal liability to existing Holders.

          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

28

 

by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders
or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03 Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes.

          If a Holder of Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company shall
pay all principal, interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in
accordance with those instructions. All other payments on Notes shall be made at the office or
agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company
elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
register of Holders.

Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.

          (a) The Company shall 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 shall 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 prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall 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.

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

          (c) 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 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
the Paying Agent shall 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 shall 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 one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company
or one of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall 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 shall serve as Paying Agent for the
Notes.

29

 

Section 2.06 Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.07
Transfer and Exchange.

          (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole
except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the
Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be
exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice
from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is
no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the
Depositary; (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but
not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect
to the Trustee or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the
Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in
Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu
of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or 2.11
hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global
Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.07(a), however,
beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section
2.07(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

          (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial
interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to
those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii)
below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

     (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in
any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the
transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in
any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who

30

 

take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar
to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.07(b)(i).

     (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In
connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to
Section 2.07(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the
Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given
to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to
credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Global Note in an amount equal
to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant
account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or
an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the
beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the
Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1)
above. Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section
2.07(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section 2.07(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been
satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of
Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global
Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to
subparagraph (b)(iv), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) to this

has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be
returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or

registration of transfer or exchange.

     (v) The Company shall not 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

required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture,
and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof.

Section 2.08 Replacement Notes.

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

          (b) Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to

outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof.

42

 

          (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide
purchaser.

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

          (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of the
foregoing) 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 shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
shall cease to accrue interest.

any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

Section 2.11 Temporary Notes.

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

          (b) Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.12 Cancellation.

          The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of
canceled Notes in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of canceled securities in
effect as of the date of such disposition (subject to the record retention requirement of the

Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest.

          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall 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 shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and
payment date, provided that no such special record date shall 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) shall 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.

Section 2.14 CUSIP Numbers.

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

maturity thereof to be redeemed. No Notes in amounts of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of
Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption
also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.08 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before a redemption date, the Company shall 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.

          The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP numbers) to be redeemed and shall
state:

     (i) the redemption date;

     (ii) the redemption price;

     (iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount at
maturity 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 of the
original Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the
original Note;

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

     (v) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect

name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee,
at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate

such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice, if mailed in the manner provided
herein shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

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 Price.

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

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

less shall be redeemed in part.

Section 3.08 Repurchase Offers.

          In the event that, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, the Company shall be required to
commence an offer to all Holders to purchase their respective Notes (a “Repurchase Offer”), it
shall follow the procedures specified below.

          The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its
commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law
(the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period
(the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer
Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any
Notes so purchased shall 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 shall 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 shall
be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer.

          Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a
notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender

47

 

Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders.
The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall state:

     (i) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.08 and Section
4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer shall remain open;

     (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or
accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any;

thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall cease to accrete or
accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after the Purchase Date;

$1,000 only;

shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect

Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address
specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

     (vii) that Holders shall 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 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;

     (viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer
Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis or in
accordance with the procedures of the Depositary (with such adjustments as may be deemed
appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

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

          On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro
rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered
pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes (or
portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with

48

 

the terms of this Section 3.08. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or
deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such
Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company, shall
promptly issue a new Note. The Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate
and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount at maturity equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the
results of the Repurchase Offer as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

          The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.

          Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.08, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.08 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.09 Application of Trust Money.

          All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.02 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent)
as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, 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.

plus

     (C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after October
20, 2009 is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of
(i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the
cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted
Investment; plus

53

 

     (D) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company is
redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after October 20, 2009, the lesser of (i)
the fair market value of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in
such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) the fair market value
of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of
the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary to the extent such Investment was treated as a Restricted Payment, plus
the amount of any Investments made in such Subsidiary subsequent to such designation
(or in the case of any Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of October
20, 2009, subsequent to October 20, 2009) to the extent any such Investment was
treated as a Restricted Payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; plus

     (E) 100% of any other dividends or other distributions received by the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary since October 20, 2009 from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of
the Company to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in
Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period in an amount not to exceed
the amount of Restricted Investments previously made by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary.

          (b) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the
preceding provisions will not prohibit:

     (i) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of the
dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend payment would have complied with the
provisions of this Indenture;

     (ii) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any
subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the
Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other
than Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are
utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition
will be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(3)(B);

     (iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence
of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

     (iv) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its
Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

     (v) repurchases of Equity Interests of the Company deemed to occur upon the exercise of
stock options if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof;

     (vi) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity
Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by

54

 

any member of the Company’s (or any Restricted Subsidiary’s) management; provided that
the aggregate amount expended pursuant to this clause (vi) shall not exceed $4.0 million in
any twelve-month period; and

     (vii) Restricted Payments not otherwise permitted in an amount not to exceed $200.0
million.

          The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the
date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued
by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.
The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section
4.07 shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company whose resolution with respect
thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. Except with respect to a Restricted Payment permitted by
Section 4.07(b) above, the Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or
appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $10.0 million. Not later than the date on which such Restricted Payment
was made, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by
this Section 4.07 were computed.

Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or
consensual restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

     (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

     (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries.

          (b) However, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.08(a) will not apply to encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of:

     (i) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and the Credit Facilities as in effect
on the date hereof and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the
amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacement or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with
respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those
agreements on the date hereof;

55

 

     (ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Exchange Notes;

     (iii) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

     (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition
(except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or
in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to
any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the
property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that in the case of Indebtedness,
such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

     (v) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or agreement entered into in
the ordinary course of business and customary provisions restricting subletting or transfer
of any interest in real or personal property contained in any lease or easement agreement of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

     (vi) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of
business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in Section
4.08(a)(iii);

     (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that
Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets or Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary;

     (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in
the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to dividends
and other payments are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those
contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

     (ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under Section 4.12
that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

     (x) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in
joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

     (xi) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

     (xii) any Indebtedness incurred in compliance with the Section 4.09 by any Foreign
Subsidiary or any Guarantor, or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness is issued,
if the encumbrance or restriction applies only to such Foreign Subsidiary or Guarantor and
only in the event of a payment default or default with

56

 

respect to a financial covenant contained in the Indebtedness or agreement and the
encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the
Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company) and the Board of Directors of the Company determines that any such encumbrance
or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to pay interest or principal
on the Notes; or

     (xiii) an arrangement or circumstance arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of
business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that does not, individually or in the
aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided,
however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified
Stock, and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock and any Foreign
Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most
recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available
immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a
pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the preferred stock or Disqualified Stock had been
issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

          (b) Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of
Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock, as set forth below (collectively, “Permitted
Debt”):

     (i) the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness under
the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this
clause 4.09(b)(i) not to exceed $1,000.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net
Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to repay any
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit
Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, pursuant to
Section 4.10;

     (ii) the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of Existing
Indebtedness;

     (iii) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness represented by the Notes to be
issued on the date hereof and any Guarantees thereof by any Guarantor;

57

 

     (iv) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness
represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations,
in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or
cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including all
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to this clause 4.09(b)(iv), not to exceed the greater of (i) $100.0
million and (ii) 5.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets, at any time outstanding;

     (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund,
refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted
by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (ii), (iii), (v), or (xi)
of this Section 4.09(b);

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

          (1) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of
all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note
Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

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

     (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations
that are incurred for the purpose of fixing, hedging or swapping interest rate risk with
respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
outstanding or for hedging foreign currency exchange risk, in each case to the extent the
Hedging Obligations are incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s financial
management and not for any speculative purpose;

     (viii) the Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of
this Section 4.09;

     (ix) 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, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in

58

 

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
Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued;

     (x) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness,
including Indebtedness represented by letters of credit for the account of the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary, incurred in respect of workers’ compensation claims,
self-insurance obligations, performance, proposal, completion, surety and similar bonds and
completion guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary
course of business; provided that the underlying obligation to perform is that of the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and not that of the Company’s Unrestricted
Subsidiaries; provided further that such underlying obligation is not in respect of borrowed
money;

     (xi) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of additional
Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time
outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance
or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xi), not to exceed $125.0
million;

     (xii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness,
including but not limited to Indebtedness represented by letters of credit for the account
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, arising from agreements of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar
obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any
business, assets or Equity Interests of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than
guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such
business, assets or Equity Interests for the purpose of financing such acquisition;

     (xiii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness
arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient
funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished
within five Business Days of incurrence; or

     (xiv) the issuance of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company that is
pledged to secure the Credit Agreement, provided that any subsequent transfer that results
in such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary will be deemed to constitute an issuance of preferred stock not permitted by this
clause (xiv).

          (c) For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is not denominated in U.S. dollars, the amount of such
Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of incurrence of such
Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness not

59

 

denominated in U.S. dollars is subject to a Hedging Obligation with respect to U.S. dollars
covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of
such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Hedging Obligation. The
principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the
Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced,
except to the extent that (i) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Hedging
Obligation, in which case the Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance
with the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the
U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness is Incurred.

          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item
of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt
described in clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant
to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date
of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner
that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the
date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture will be deemed to have
been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided in Section 4.09(b)(i).

          (e) The Company shall not, and shall 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 or such Note Guarantee on substantially identical
terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor will be deemed to be
contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any
Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of secured
Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor arrangements giving one or more of such holders
priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless:

     (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration 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 (except in respect of
Designated Assets sold pursuant to a Designated Asset Contract);

     (ii) the fair market value or Designated Asset Value, as applicable, in the case of any
Asset Sales or series of related Asset Sales having a fair market value of $25.0 million or
more, is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of
Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

60

 

     (iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this
Section 4.10(a)(iii) only, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

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

          (2) 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 or Cash Equivalents within 90 days after the
applicable Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in
that conversion;

          (3) notes or other obligations or Indebtedness actually received by the Company
or any such Restricted Subsidiary as consideration for the sale or other disposition
of a Designated Asset pursuant to a Designated Asset Contract, but only to the
extent that such notes or other obligations or Indebtedness were explicitly required
to be included, or permitted to be included solely at the option of the purchaser,
in such consideration pursuant to such contract;

          (4) Indebtedness actually received by the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary as consideration for the sale or other disposition of an Unoccupied
Facility, in an aggregate principal amount, in any fiscal year of the Company, when
taken together with all Indebtedness received as consideration pursuant to this
clause (4) since the date hereof (but, to the extent that the principal of any
Indebtedness received pursuant to this clause (4) is repaid in cash or such
Indebtedness is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus the amount of such cash
received), not to exceed $20 million; and

          (5) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale, in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year
of the Company (measured on the date such Designated Non-Cash Consideration was
received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), when taken together
with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received as consideration pursuant
to this clause (5) during such fiscal year (but, to the extent that any such
Designated Non-Cash Consideration is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus
the lesser of (x) the amount of the cash received (less the cost of disposition, if
any) and (y) the initial amount of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration), not to
exceed $25 million.

          (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section 4.10, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may engage in Asset Swaps; provided that:

61

 

     (i) immediately after giving effect to such Asset Swap, the Company would be permitted
to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof; and

     (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the fair market value of the
assets received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Swap is not less
than the fair market value of the assets disposed of by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Swap and such determination is evidenced by a resolution of the
Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee.

          (c) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds, at its option:

     (i) to repay permanently Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and with respect to
Net Proceeds of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, Indebtedness of such
Restricted Subsidiary) and, if the Indebtedness permanently repaid is revolving credit
Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

     (ii) to acquire, or enter into a definitive agreement to acquire, all or substantially
all of the assets of, a Permitted Business or a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person
engaged in a Permitted Business, provided that such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary
and provided further, however, in the case of a definitive agreement, that such acquisition
closes within 120 days of such 360 day period;

     (iii) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted
Business (provided that the completion of (a) construction of new facilities, (b) expansions
to existing facilities and (c) repair or construction of damaged or destroyed facilities, in
each case, which commences within such 360 days may extend for an additional 360 day period
if the Net Proceeds to be used for such construction, expansion or repair are committed
specifically for such activity within such 360 days); or

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

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

          (d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the
preceding paragraph, or that the Company determines will not be applied or invested as provided in
the preceding paragraph, will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all
Holders of Notes and, at the Company’s option, 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, to purchase on a pro rata basis
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

62

 

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 shall be payable in cash. If
any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this 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 Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness shall be
purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess
Proceeds will be reset at zero.

          (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with 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 Asset Sale
provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 4.10 by virtue
of such conflict.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

          (a) The Company shall not, and shall 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 amend any contract, agreement, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”),
unless:

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

     (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

          (1) 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 this Section
4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

          (2) except with respect to leases of facilities entered into in the ordinary
course of business with a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, 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 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 shall be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will
not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):

63

 

     (i) indemnity agreements and reasonable employment arrangements (including
severance and retirement agreements) entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, in each case approved by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of
the Company;

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

     (iii) payment of reasonable directors fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates
of the Company;

     (iv) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company;

     (v) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07;

     (vi) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash,
securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of employment arrangements, stock
options and stock ownership plans and other reasonable fees, compensation, benefits and
indemnities paid or entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business to or with officers, directors or employees of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

     (vii) any pledge of any Government Operating Agreement to secure Non-Recourse Project
Financing Indebtedness related to the facility that is the subject of such Government
Operating Agreement.

Section 4.12 Liens.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create,
incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other
than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless
all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable or prior
basis with the Obligations so secured until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by
a Lien.

Section 4.13 Business Activities.

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

Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer

64

 

described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon,
if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date
(the “Change of Control Payment Date”) specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than
30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures
described in Section 3.08 and described in such notice. The Company shall comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to such
Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall be deemed not to have breached its obligations under Section 4.14 by virtue
of such conflict.

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

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company shall not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable
to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.15 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 or Event of Default. If a
Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value
of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be Investments made as of the time of the
designation, subject to the limitations on Restricted Payments. 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

65

 

of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if
the redesignation would not cause a Default; provided that such designation shall 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 shall only be permitted if (1)
such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, 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 4.16 Payments for Consent.

          The Company shall not and shall 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 Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale
and Leaseback Transaction; provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a
Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:

     (i) the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred
Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in Section 4.09(a) hereof and (b)
incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.12;

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

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

Section 4.18 Additional Note Guarantees.

          (a) The Notes shall initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Initial
Guarantors and may be guaranteed by additional Subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to this Section
4.18.

          (b) The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which are not Guarantors
directly or indirectly, to Guarantee the payment of

66

 

     (i) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor under any Credit Facility or

     (ii) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor evidenced by bonds, notes or
other debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million or more, unless, in
each case, such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental
indenture, in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, providing for the Guarantee of the
payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall be senior to or
pari passu with such Subsidiary’s Guarantee of such other Indebtedness.

Section 4.19 Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.

          (a) If on any date following the date hereof:

     (i) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s or BBB- or better by Standard &
Poor’s (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the
control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other
“nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section
3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and

     (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
(collectively, a “Covenant Suspension Event”);

then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of Section 4.19(b), the following
sections shall be suspended:

          (1) Section 4.10;

          (2) Section 4.07;

          (3) Section 4.09;

          (4) Section 4.08;

          (5) Section 4.15;

          (6) Section 4.11;

          (7) clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a);

          (8) clauses (i)(a) and (iii) of Section 4.17; and

          (9) Section 4.13.

          (b) During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended (a “Suspension
Period”), the Company’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its

67

 

Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof unless such
designation would have been permitted if a Suspension Period had not been in effect at such time.

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.19(a) above, if the rating assigned by such
rating agency should subsequently decline and the Notes are not rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s nor
BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s (or if either such agency ceases to rate the Notes, the
equivalent investment grade credit rating from another nationally recognized statistical rating
organization), the foregoing covenants will be reinstated as of and from the date of such rating
decline. Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.07 will be made as if Section 4.07 had been
in effect since the date hereof except that no default will be deemed to have occurred solely by
reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended. Notwithstanding that the
suspended covenants may be reinstated, no default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a
failure to comply with such suspended covenants during any period such covenants have been
suspended.

          (d) The Company shall give prompt written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event and the
termination of any Covenant Suspension Event to the Trustee.

Section 4.20 Liquidated Damages Notice

          (a) In the event that the Company is required to pay Liquidated Damages to holders of Notes
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will provide written notice (the
“Liquidated Damages Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Liquidated Damages no later
than fifteen days prior to the proposed payment date for the Liquidated Damages, and the Liquidated
Damages Notice shall set forth the amount of Liquidated Damages to be paid by the Company on such
payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder
of Notes to determine the Liquidated Damages, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation
of the amount of Liquidated Damages owed, or with respect to the method employed in such
calculation of the Liquidated Damages.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

          (a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

     (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages
with respect to, the Notes;

     (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

     (iii) failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, to comply with the

     (iv) failure by the Company or any Guarantor for 60 consecutive days after notice to
comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture;

     (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued
or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is
created after the date hereof, if that default:

          (1) is caused by a failure to make any payment when due at the final maturity
of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

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

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default
or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

     (vi) failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay final judgments not
covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $25.0 million, which judgments are not paid,
discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

     (vii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee shall be held in any
judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in
full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor,
shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Note Guarantee;

     (viii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

     (1) commences a voluntary case,

70

 

     (2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case,

     (3) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

     (4) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and

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

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

          (2) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the

Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or

          (3) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is
a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

          (a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (viii) or (ix) of Section 6.01
hereof, with respect to the Company or 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. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of Default.

          (b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in clause
(v) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically
annulled if the holders of any Indebtedness described in clause (v) of Section 6.01(a) hereof have
rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of the Indebtedness within 30 days of the date
of the declaration and if:

     (i) the annulment of the acceleration of Notes would not conflict with any judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

71

 

     (ii) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal or interest on the
Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or
waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

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

          (b) 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.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

          Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the
Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in
connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders
have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver,
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from
this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. 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 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 and the Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 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. 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

72

 

relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

     (iii) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the
Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction;

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

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

          (b) 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 (it being understood
that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

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, if any, interest on, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with
respect to, 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(a)(i) or (a)(ii) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated
Damages, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium, if
any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, and such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,

73

 

including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

          (a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, 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, expense and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

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

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

74

 

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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit
by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders
of more than ten percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
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:

whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

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

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 become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or any of its Affiliates with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires
any conflicting interest as described in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10

the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of
this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any

of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

77

 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

          (a) Within 60 days after each May 1 beginning with the May 1 following the date hereof, and
for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief
report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described
in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need
be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also
transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

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

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

          (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be
agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and
services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of
a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall 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 shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

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

discharge of this Indenture and resignation of removal of the Trustee.

          (d) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

Section 7.08.

Company.

          (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee

in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six

jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (f) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as

79

 

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 or Section 7.09, the Company’s obligations under Section
7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

(2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein. The Trustee hereby waives any right to set-off any claim that it may have
against the Company in any capacity (other than as Trustee and Paying Agent) against any of the
assets of the Company held by the Trustee; provided, however, that if the Trustee is or becomes a
lender of any other Indebtedness permitted hereunder to be pari passu with the Notes, then such
waiver shall not apply to the extent of such Indebtedness.

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

          Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of
the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under
this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall
be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee

ARTICLE EIGHT

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

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

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding
Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged with respect to
their obligations under the Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the
Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, respectively, which shall thereafter be deemed
to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under
such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on reasonable demand of and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following
provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights
of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04
hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of,
premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due,
(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 concerning issuing
temporary Notes, registration of Notes and mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Company’s
obligations under Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article Eight.
Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, 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 shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08,
4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof and clause (iv) of
Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall
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 shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder

81

 

(it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).
For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall 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(a)(iii) through (vii) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

          (a) The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof to the outstanding Notes:

the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date,
as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to
maturity or to a particular redemption date and, if the Notes are being defeased to a
particular redemption date, the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable
notice of redemption;

     (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or
(b) since the date hereof, 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 will 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;

     (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the
Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for 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;

     (iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing either (a) on the
date of such deposit or (b) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency

82

 

events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 123rd day after the date
of deposit;

     (v) 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;

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

     (vii) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and after the passage of 123 days following the deposit, the trust fund will not be
subject to the effect of Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New
York Debtor and Creditor Law; and

     (viii) 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.

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

          (a) Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the 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.

          (b) The Company shall 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.

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

83

 

Section 8.06 Repayment to the Company.

          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Company as Trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense of the 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 shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

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

such consent approves the substance thereof.

          (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company
shall 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, shall
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 then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) may
waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, or
the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

     (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change the
optional redemption dates or optional redemption prices from those provided in Section 3.07
of this Indenture;

     (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

     (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or
premium, or Liquidated Damages, if any, 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 Notes
and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

     (v) make any Note payable in money other than U.S. dollars;

     (vi) 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;

     (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note;

86

 

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

     (ix) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with
respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees;

     (x) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate an
Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof after
the obligation to make an Asset Sale Offer has arisen or the obligation of the Company to
make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in
accordance with Section 4.14 hereof after a Change of Control has occurred, including, in
each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto; or

     (xi) 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 shall be set forth in an amended
or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

          (a) 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.

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

          The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or Note authorized pursuant to
this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental
indenture or Note until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any

87

 

amended or supplemental indenture or Note, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section
7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon 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 and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and that all conditions precedent to such
execution have been met.

Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of,

all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of

in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

          (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law,
their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder 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 covenants that

such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect.

          (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of
all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors,

obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in, but subject to the provisions of,
Article Six 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
(y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any 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
such Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to 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 Ten, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

Guarantee.

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

longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall
be valid nevertheless.

89

 

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

          (d) If required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute
supplemental indentures to this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.18 hereof and this Article
Ten, to the extent applicable.

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

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

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

     (ii) either:

     (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the

the Trustee; or

     (B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger complies with

and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by a
Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with the same
effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.

Section 10.05. Release of a Guarantor.

hereunder, (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of
such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before
or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale of
all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section 4.10 hereof; (ii) if the Company
properly designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture; (iii) upon
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as permitted

Section 12.14 Acts of Holders.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by
agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where
it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section
12.14.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such witness, notary or officer the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority

96

 

of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.14, the principal
amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Holder, and the date of holding the same, shall be
proved by the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.

          (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of the Notes any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by
or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding
TIA § 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such
resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation
of Holders generally in connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders
forwarded to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not later
than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after
such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall
be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion
of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the then
outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization,
agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 90 days after the
record date.

          (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note
issued upon the registration or transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

          (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Note may do so itself with regard to all or any part of the principal
amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to

Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original
issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this

          2. Method of Payment. The Company shall 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 record date immediately 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 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall 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 in The City of New York maintained for such purposes, 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, and provided that

under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying

A-5

 

          4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 10, 2011
(“Indenture”) among the Company, the Initial 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
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. 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 conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued
provides that an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

          5. Optional Redemption. (a) At any time on or prior to February 15, 2014, the Company may on
any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally
issued hereunder (including any Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 106.625% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (A) at
least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture
(including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption, excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (B) the redemption must
occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

          (b) At any time prior to February 15, 2016, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a
part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price
equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (B) the Applicable Premium as of
the date of redemption, plus (C) accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
date of redemption.

          (c) Except as set forth in clauses 5(a) and 5(b) above, the Company shall not have the option
to redeem the Notes on or prior to February 15, 2016. Thereafter, the Company may redeem all or a
part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the
twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Percentage	 
	2016
	 	 	103.3125	%
	2017
	 	 	102.2083	%
	2018
	 	 	101.1042	%
	2019 and thereafter
	100.0000	%

          6. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each
Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the
offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and

A-6

 

Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Within 30 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 offering to
repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days
and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

          (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds, at its option: (i) to repay
permanently Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and with respect to Net Proceeds of a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary) and, if
the Indebtedness permanently repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto; (ii) to acquire, or enter into a definitive agreement to acquire,
all or substantially all of the assets of, a Permitted Business or a majority of the Voting Stock
of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business, provided that such Person becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary and provided further, however, in the case of a definitive agreement, that such
acquisition closes within 120 days of such 360 day period; (iii) to make a capital expenditure in
or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business (provided that the completion of (a) construction
of new facilities, (b) expansions to existing facilities and (c) repair or construction of damaged
or destroyed facilities, in each case, which commences within such 360 days may extend for an
additional 360 day period if the Net Proceeds to be used for such construction, expansion or repair
are committed specifically for such activity within such 360 days); or (iv) to acquire other
long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. Pending the final application of
any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise
invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. Any Net Proceeds
from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding sentence or that the
Company determines will not be applied or invested as provided in the preceding sentence will
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million,
the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, at the
Company’s option, 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, to purchase on a pro rata basis 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 shall be payable
in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may
use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by 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 Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness shall
be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess
Proceeds will be reset at zero.

          7. Selection and Notice of Redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or
purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or
purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes

A-7

 

are not so listed, on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered), by lot or in accordance
with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial
redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notices of redemption may not be
conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to
that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of
the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due
on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

          8. 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 is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption.
Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before
the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes.

          9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as its owner for
all purposes.

          10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single
class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender
offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision
of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or
the Notes 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 any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a
merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s
assets; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of
Notes or that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
Holder; to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of
the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to allow any Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes; to
conform the text of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the
“Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such provision in the “Description
of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Notes; to provide for the
issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations described herein; or to allow a
Subsidiary to

A-8

 

execute a supplemental indenture for the purpose of providing a Note Guarantee in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture.

          11. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from 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, 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 principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company
specifying the Event of Default. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes
except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
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 Liquidated Damages) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in
the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the principal of, the Notes.

          12. 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.

          13. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder
of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or of the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees, or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of
Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive
liabilities under the federal securities laws.

          14. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

          15. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.
In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global
Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement dated as of February 10, 2011, between the Company and the parties named on the
signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights
agreement, if any, between the Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the

A-9

 

other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the
purchasers of Additional Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

          16. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes
and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers placed thereon.

          The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the
Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to:
