          WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is incorporated herein by this reference and the Original
Indenture, as may be amended and supplemented to the date hereof, including by this Second
Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the “Indenture”;

          WHEREAS, under the Original Indenture, a new series of securities may at any time be

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

          SECTION 1.01. Definitions. All terms contained in this Second Supplemental
Indenture shall, except as specifically provided herein or except as the context may otherwise

(excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate

          “Combined Leverage Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (x) (i) the

Cash of all Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Cash of any Excluded Project Subsidiary
in the Development Stage) as of such date to (y) the aggregate amount of Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA of all Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of any Excluded
Projected Subsidiary in the Development Stage) for the period of the most recent four consecutive
fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination for which financial statements
prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP are available, provided, however, that:

          (1) if any Restricted Subsidiary:

     (a) has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that
remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise
to the need to calculate the Combined Leverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of
Indebtedness, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Indebtedness for such
period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such
Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such
period (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any
revolving Debt Facility outstanding on the date of such calculation will be deemed
to be (i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal
quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (ii) if
such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average
daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of
such facility to the date of such calculation) and the discharge of any other
Indebtedness repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise
discharged with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness as if such discharge had
occurred on the first day of such period; or

     (b) has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise
discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is no longer
outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the
need to calculate the Combined Leverage Ratio includes a discharge of Indebtedness
(in each case, other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving Debt Facility
unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment
terminated and not replaced), Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated
Indebtedness for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma
basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such
new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period;

          (2) if since the beginning of such period, any Restricted Subsidiary will have made any Asset
Disposition or disposed of or discontinued (as defined under GAAP) any

- 7 -

 

company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of
business or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Combined Leverage Ratio
includes such a transaction, the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the
assets that are the subject of such disposition or discontinuation for such period or increased by
an amount equal to the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for
such period;

          (3) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger
or otherwise) (a) will have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or into a Restricted Subsidiary) or (b) an
acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a
transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all
of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of
business, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma
effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition
occurred on the first day of such period; and

          (4) if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted
Subsidiary or was merged with or into any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period)
will have Incurred any Indebtedness or discharged any Indebtedness, made any disposition or any
Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (1),
(2) or (3) above if made by a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA and Consolidated Indebtedness for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma
effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such period.

          For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation
under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible
financial or accounting officer of the Company (including pro forma expense and cost reductions
calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act). If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest
expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest
Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term
in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an
interest rate at the option of any Restricted Subsidiary, the interest rate shall be calculated by
applying such optional rate chosen by such Restricted Subsidiary.

          “Commodity Agreement” means any long-term or forward purchase contract or option contract to
buy, sell or exchange commodities, commodity futures contract, commodity swap, commodity option or
other similar agreement or arrangement entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
designed to protect the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries against fluctuations in the
price of commodities in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries.

          “Common Stock” means with respect to any Person, any and all shares, interest or other
participations in, and other equivalents (however designated and whether voting or nonvoting) of
such Person’s common stock whether or not outstanding on the Issue Date, and includes, without
limitation, all series and classes of such common stock.

          “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the
Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period:

          (1) increased (without duplication) by the following items to the extent deducted in
calculating such Consolidated Net Income:

     (a) Consolidated Interest Expense; plus

     (b) Consolidated Income Taxes; plus

     (c) consolidated depreciation expense; plus

     (d) consolidated amortization expense or impairment charges recorded in
connection with the application of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 “Goodwill

and non-cash compensation expense recorded from grants of stock appreciation or
similar rights, stock options, restricted stock or other rights to officers,
directors or employees;

          (2) decreased (without duplication) by (a) non-cash items increasing Consolidated Net Income

- 9 -

 

          (3) increased or decreased (without duplication) to eliminate the following items reflected in

provided however, that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (except for the purposes of Section
4.04(a)(4)(c)(i)) will exclude the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA attributable to any Excluded
Project Subsidiaries to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar
distributions by the Excluded Project Subsidiaries of that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is not, as
a result of an Excluded Project Subsidiary Debt Default, then permitted by operation of the terms
of the relevant Excluded Project Subsidiary Debt Agreement (provided that the Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA of the Excluded Project Subsidiary will only be so excluded for that portion of the period
during which the condition described in the preceding proviso has occurred and is continuing).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (1)(b) through (h) of this definition relating to
amounts of a Restricted Subsidiary of a Person will be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of such Person only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that
the net income (loss) of such Restricted Subsidiary was included in calculating the Consolidated
Net Income of such Person and, to the extent the amounts set forth in clauses (1)(b) through (h) of
this definition are in excess of those necessary to offset a net loss of such Restricted Subsidiary
or if such Restricted Subsidiary has net income for such period included in Consolidated Net
Income, only if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be
dividended to the Company by such Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval (that has not been
obtained), pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments, judgments,
decrees, orders, statutes, rules and governmental regulations applicable to that Restricted
Subsidiary or its stockholders.

          “Consolidated Coverage Ratio” means as of any date of determination the ratio of (x) the
aggregate amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
(excluding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of any Excluded Project Subsidiary in the Development
Stage) for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date
of such determination for which financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance
with GAAP are available to (y) Consolidated Interest Expense of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (excluding Consolidated Interest

- 10 -

 

Expense of any Excluded Project Subsidiary in the Development Stage) for such four fiscal
quarters, provided, however, that:

          (1) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary:

     (a) has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that
remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise
to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of
Indebtedness, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for
such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such
Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such
period (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any
revolving Debt Facility outstanding on the date of such calculation will be deemed
to be (i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal
quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (ii) if
such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average
daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of
such facility to the date of such calculation) and the discharge of any other
Indebtedness repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise
discharged with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness as if such discharge had
occurred on the first day of such period; or

     (b) has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise
discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is no longer
outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the
need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes a discharge of
Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving
Debt Facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related
commitment terminated and not replaced), Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and
Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving
effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with
the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the
first day of such period;

          (2) if since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have
made any Asset Disposition or disposed of or discontinued (as defined under GAAP) any company,
division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of business or if the
transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes such a
transaction:

     (a) the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable
to the assets that are the subject of such disposition or discontinuation for such
period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (if
negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; and

- 11 -

 

     (b) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired,
defeased or otherwise discharged (to the extent the related commitment is
permanently reduced) with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted
Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction for such period (or, if the Capital
Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for
such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary
to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer
liable for such Indebtedness after such sale);

          (3) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger
or otherwise) (a) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary)
or (b) an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a
transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all
of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of
business, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be
calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as
if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such period; and

          (4) if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted
Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning
of such period) shall have Incurred any Indebtedness or discharged any Indebtedness, made any
disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment
pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during
such period, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall
be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first
day of such period.

          For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation
under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible
financial or accounting officer of the Company (including pro forma expense and cost reductions
calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act). If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest
expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest
Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term
in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an
interest rate at the option of the Company, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such
optional rate chosen by the Company.

          “Consolidated Income Taxes” means, with respect to any Person for any period, taxes imposed
upon such Person or other payments required to be made by such Person by any governmental authority
which taxes or other payments are calculated by reference to the income

not for speculative purposes); plus

          (2) the total amount of Indebtedness of any other Person, to the extent that the same has
been guaranteed by the referent Person or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
Indebtedness consisting of Hedging Obligations Incurred in the ordinary course of business and not
for speculative purposes); plus

          (3) the aggregate liquidation value of all Disqualified Stock of the Person and all
preferred stock of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Person;

in each case, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

          “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the total

to the extent not included in such interest expense:

          (1) interest expense attributable to Capitalized Lease Obligations and the interest
portion of rent expense associated with Attributable Indebtedness in respect of the relevant lease
giving rise thereto, determined as if such lease were a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP
and the interest component of any deferred payment obligations;

          (2) amortization of debt discount (including the amortization of original issue discount
resulting from the issuance of Indebtedness at less than par) and debt issuance cost; provided,
however, that any amortization of bond premium will be credited to reduce Consolidated Interest
Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such amortization of bond premium has otherwise reduced
Consolidated Interest Expense;

          (3) non-cash interest expense, but any non-cash interest income or expense attributable to
the movement in the mark to market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other derivative instruments
pursuant to GAAP shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense;

          (4) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of
credit and bankers’ acceptance financing;

          (5) interest actually paid by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary under any
Guarantee of Indebtedness or other obligation of any other Person;

          (6) costs associated with entering into Hedging Obligations (including amortization of
fees) related to Indebtedness;

          (7) interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries that was capitalized

which is one minus the then current combined federal, state, provincial and local statutory tax
rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal, in each case, on a consolidated basis and in
accordance with GAAP; and

          (9) the cash contributions to any employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the
extent such contributions are used by such plan or trust to pay interest or fees to any Person
(other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in connection with Indebtedness Incurred
by such plan or trust.

          For the purpose of calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the calculation of
Consolidated Interest Expense shall include all interest expense (including any amounts described
in clauses (1) through (9) above) relating to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary described in the final paragraph of the definition of “Indebtedness.”

          For the purpose of calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Expense
shall exclude the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to any Excluded Project Subsidiary to
the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Excluded
Project Subsidiary of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is not, as a result of an Excluded Project
Subsidiary Debt Default, then permitted by operation of the terms of the relevant Excluded Project
Subsidiary Debt Agreement (provided that the Consolidated Interest Expense of the Excluded Project
Subsidiary shall only be so excluded for that portion of the period during which the condition
described in the preceding proviso has occurred and is continuing).

          For the purpose of (i) calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio and (ii) Section 4.04, the
calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense shall exclude (i) non-cash interest attributable to
the amortization of discounts recorded in connection with the bifurcation of debt between liability
components and equity components in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)

          SECTION 3.02. Mandatory Redemption; Open Market Purchases. (a) The Company shall
not be required to make any mandatory redemption with respect to the Notes.

          (b) The Company may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer,
open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable
securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Second
Supplemental Indenture.

          SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. In case the Company shall desire to exercise
the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it
shall fix a Redemption Date and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer
than 10 calendar days  prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee)
to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense
of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption not less than 30
calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to all holders of record
at their last addresses as the same appear on the Register; provided that if the Company makes such
request of the Trustee, the text of the notice shall be prepared by the

- 41 -

 

Company. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner
herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder
receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice
to the holder of any Notes designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes.

          Each such notice of redemption shall specify:

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

     (b) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes being redeemed;

     (c) the Redemption Date;

     (d) the Redemption Price at which the Notes are to be redeemed;

     (e) the name of the Paying Agent, the place or places of payment and that payment will
be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes;

     (f) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be
paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after such date, interest thereon or on
the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue;

     (g) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are
being redeemed; and

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

          If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the
Notes to be redeemed. In case any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and
after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Notes, a new Note or Notes in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

          Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee written notice of
the Redemption Date, together with an Officers’ Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of
Notes to be redeemed not fewer than 40 calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be
acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date.

          SECTION 3.04. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption,
selection of the Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed
or, if the Notes are not listed, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate or in accordance with DTC
procedures, although no Note of $2,000 in original principal amount or less shall be redeemed in
part.

- 42 -

 

          SECTION 3.05. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon presentation of any Notes redeemed in
part only, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of authorized
denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes
presented.

ARTICLE 4

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

          SECTION 4.01. Reporting Covenant. Section 4.2 of the Original Indenture is hereby
amended and restated with respect to the Notes (but not with respect to any other series of
Securities) as follows:

     “(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on
forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC, if not filed electronically with the SEC through EDGAR (or any successor
system), the Company shall file with the SEC (to the extent permitted by the Exchange Act), and
make available to the Trustee and the Holders, without cost to any Holder, the annual reports and
the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as
the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act with respect to U.S. issuers within the time periods specified therein or in the
relevant forms. The Company will also comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

     (b) In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and
information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall nevertheless make
available such Exchange Act reports, documents and information to the Trustee and the Holders as if
the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
within the time periods specified therein or in the relevant forms, which requirement may be
satisfied by posting such reports, documents and information on its website within the time periods
specified in this Section 4.01.

     (c) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and
such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a
Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section
4.01(b) shall include in the “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations” section, revenue, Consolidated Indebtedness, Consolidated Interest Expense,
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries.

     The Company shall be deemed to have furnished the reports to the Trustee and the Holders if it
has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly
available. The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or

- 43 -

 

not such information, documents, or reports have been filed pursuant to the “EDGAR” system (or
its successor) or the Company’s website.

     Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).”

          SECTION 4.02. Covenant Suspension. Following the first day the Notes have an
Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to
Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). If
at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating
Agency or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then from the date of such
occurrence (the “Reinstatement Date”), the Suspended Covenants shall thereafter be reinstated as if
such covenants had never been suspended and be applicable (including in connection with performing
any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of the Indenture), unless and
until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and
no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no
longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from both of
the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no
Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under the Indenture or the
Notes with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the
Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would have been
permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period
of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date is referred to
as the “Suspension Period.”

          On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be
classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or one of the clauses set forth in
Section 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of
the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension
Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) and 4.03(b) hereof, such Indebtedness will be
deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under Section
4.03(b)(3) hereof. Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be
made as Restricted Payments shall be made as though the covenants described under Section 4.04
hereof had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly,
Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made
as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a).

          During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, neither the Board of Directors
of the Company nor Senior Management may designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries or Excluded Project Subsidiaries.

- 44 -

 

          SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness if on the date thereof and after giving effect thereto on a pro
forma basis:

          (1) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at
least 2.00 to 1.00;

          (2) in the case of Indebtedness Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary, the Combined Leverage
Ratio for the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries is no greater than 4.00 to 1.00; and

          (3) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a
consequence of Incurring the Indebtedness or entering into the transactions relating to such
Incurrence.

          (b) Section 4.03(a) shall not prohibit the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness:

          (1) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred under a Debt Facility
and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with
undrawn trade letters of credit and reimbursement obligations relating to trade letters of credit
satisfied within 30 days being excluded, and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal
amount equal to the face amount thereof) together with the principal component of amounts
outstanding under Qualified Receivables Transactions in an aggregate amount up to $1,770.0 million
less the aggregate principal amount of all principal repayments with the proceeds from Asset
Dispositions made pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(3)(a) in satisfaction of the requirements of such
section;

          (2) Indebtedness represented by the Notes (other than any Additional Notes);

          (3) Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Issue
Date (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2), (4), (5), (7), (10), (11) and (12) of
this Section 4.03);

          (4) Guarantees by (a) Excluded Project Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of any other Excluded
Project Subsidiary; and (b) Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness Incurred by Restricted
Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture;

          (5) Indebtedness of the Company owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a
Receivables Entity) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Company or
any other Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity); provided, however, that

- 45 -

 

     (a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event
which results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other
than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of the
Company; and

     (b) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Entity) of the
Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such
Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

          (6) Indebtedness of Persons Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person became
a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, or merged into, the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred (a) to provide all or any portion of the funds
utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such
Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Company or
(b) otherwise in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition); provided, however,
that at the time such Person is acquired, the Company would have been able to Incur $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant after giving effect to the
Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (6);

          (7) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations that are Incurred in the ordinary course of
business (and not for speculative purposes);

          (8) Indebtedness Incurred as a result of the accounting for an extension of the term of the
Union County Lease as a capital lease under GAAP solely as a result of such extension; provided
that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has incurred Indebtedness for new borrowed
money in connection with such extension;

          (9) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary (excluding Acquired Indebtedness) Incurred (i) to finance all or any part of the cost of
the purchase, lease, construction or improvement of any property, plant or equipment used or to be
used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) as a result of entering
into of any extension of an operating lease entered into to finance all or any portion of the cost
of the purchase, lease, construction or improvement of any property, plant or equipment used or to
be used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, and any Indebtedness of a
Restricted Subsidiary which serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to
this clause (9) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the
principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (9) and then
outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (x) $200.0 million and (y) 5.0% of Total Tangible
Assets at any time outstanding;

          (10) Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of

payment and similar bonds and completion guarantees (not for borrowed money) (including any bonds
or letters of credit issued with respect thereto and all

- 46 -

 

reimbursement and indemnity agreements entered into in connection therewith) and Indebtedness
consisting solely of obligations under Insurance Premium Financing Arrangements or reinsurance
arrangements, provided in the ordinary course of business;

          (11) Indebtedness 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 or acquisition of any business or assets of the Company
or any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of
Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a
Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that:

     (a) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall
at no time exceed (i) in the case of a disposition the gross proceeds, including
non-cash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at
the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value),
actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with
such disposition and (ii) in the case of an acquisition, the Fair Market Value of
such acquired business, asset or Subsidiary being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and

     (b) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote
to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be
deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (11));

          (12) Indebtedness (x) arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a

overdraft protections and otherwise in connection with deposit accounts; provided, however, that
such Indebtedness remains outstanding only for 10 Business Days or less;

          (13) the Incurrence or issuance by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Refinancing
Indebtedness that serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness Incurred as permitted under
Section 4.03(a) and clauses (2), (3), (6) and this clause (13) of Section 4.03(b) or any
Indebtedness issued to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, including additional Indebtedness
Incurred to pay premiums (including reasonable, as determined in good faith by the Company, tender
premiums), defeasance costs, accrued interest and fees and expenses in connection therewith;

          (14) the Incurrence of Non-Recourse Debt by any Excluded Project Subsidiary;

          (15) the Incurrence of Non-Recourse Debt by any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded

- 47 -

 

any Non-Recourse Debt Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary as permitted by the Indenture,
including additional Indebtedness Incurred to pay premiums (including reasonable, as determined in
good faith by the Company, tender premiums), defeasance costs, accrued interest and fees and

          (16) Indebtedness with respect to contingent obligations incurred in exchange (or in

          (18) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (17) above, Indebtedness of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which,
when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this
clause (18) and then outstanding, will not exceed $250.0 million at any time outstanding.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not Incur any Indebtedness under Section
4.03(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Subordinated
Obligations of the Company unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the Notes to at least
the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations. No Restricted Subsidiary may Incur any
Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company, except for
Indebtedness of the Company constituting Guarantees of the Restricted Subsidiary Indebtedness being
refinanced.

          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any
particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 4.03:

          (1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described in Section 4.03(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such
item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and may later classify such item of Indebtedness in
any manner that complies with Section 4.03(b) and only be required to include the amount and type
of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses under Section 4.03(b), provided that all Indebtedness
outstanding on the Issue Date under the Senior Credit Facility shall be deemed Incurred under
Section 4.03(b)(1) and not Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b)(3) and may not later be reclassified;

          (2) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness
that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be
included;

          (3) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt Facility
and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(1) and the letters of credit relate
to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

- 48 -

 

          (4) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,
or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum
mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or
repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

          (5) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.03 need not be permitted solely by reference to
one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and
in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.03 covenant permitting such Indebtedness;

          (6) the principal amount of any Indebtedness outstanding in connection with a Qualified
Receivables Transaction is the Receivables Transaction Amount relating to such Qualified
Receivables Transaction; and

          (7) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount
thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance
with GAAP.

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of
debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of
dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock shall not be
deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.03. The amount of any
Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any
Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal amount outstanding in
the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable in kind and (ii) the principal amount or
liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past
due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

          (e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.03, the Company shall not permit any of its
Unrestricted Subsidiaries or its Excluded Project Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue
any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt.

          (f) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of
such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this
Section 4.03, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 4.03).

          (g) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated
in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in
the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to
refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause
the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded

- 49 -

 

so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal
amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
4.03 the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may Incur pursuant to Section 4.03 shall
not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.
The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a
different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the
currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

          SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to:

          (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution (whether made in cash, securities or
other property) on or in respect of its or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock
(including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries) other than:

     (a) dividends or distributions payable solely in Capital Stock of the Company (other than
Disqualified Stock); and

     (b) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary, so long as, in the
case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any Capital Stock
issued by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Company
or the Restricted Subsidiary holding such Capital Stock receives at least its pro
rata share of such dividend or distribution;

          (2) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, including in connection with any
merger or consolidation, any Capital Stock of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the
Company held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than in exchange
for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock));

          (3) make any principal payment on, or purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise
acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled repayment, scheduled sinking fund payment or
scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Obligations other than the purchase, repurchase, redemption,
defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation
of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due
within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or
retirement); or

          (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions referred to in
clauses (1) through (4) (other than any exception thereto) shall be referred to as a “Restricted
Payment”),

          unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

- 50 -

 

     (a) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result
therefrom);

     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis,
the Company could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a)
hereof; and

     (c) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted
Payments declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date (excluding Restricted
Payments made pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of Section
4.04(b)) would not exceed the sum of (without duplication):

     (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, minus (A) capital expenditures of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries other than Construction Capital Expenditures, and
(B) 140% of Consolidated Interest Expense of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in each case, for the period (treated as one accounting
period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing October 1,
2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date
of such Restricted Payment for which financial statements are available
provided, that the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the
adjustments to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of this clause
(i) shall exclude all amounts attributable to Excluded Project Subsidiaries
that are Excluded Project Subsidiaries as of the date of calculation, other
than to include the aggregate amount of cash that has been distributed
during such period or that is distributable as of such date by such Excluded
Project Subsidiary; plus

     (ii) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the Fair Market Value
of marketable securities or other property received by the Company from the

subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company or its

Investment to an unaffiliated purchaser, repayments of loans or
advances or other transfers of assets (including by way of dividend
or distribution) by such Person to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than for reimbursement of tax payments); or

Subsidiary,

     which amount in each case under this clause (iv) was included in the
calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; provided, however, that no
amount will be included under this clause (iv) to the extent it is already
included in Consolidated Net Income.

          (b) Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit:

               (1) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of

and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

          (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on
the date of such Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or

of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by the Indenture.

          (d) The Company shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary
except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes
of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or as an Excluded Project
Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to
the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an
amount determined as set forth in the definition of “Investment.” Such designation shall be
permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such
Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or Excluded Project
Subsidiary, as applicable. Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to any of the restrictive
covenants set forth in Article IV.

          SECTION 4.05. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock
of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any
Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens:

          (1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations or the Notes are secured by a Lien
on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

          (2) in all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on
such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens.

     Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this covenant shall be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens
described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.05.

          SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction
unless:

- 55 -

 

          (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred Indebtedness in an amount
equal to the Attributable Indebtedness in respect of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to
Section 4.03;

          (2) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to create a Lien on the
property subject to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction under Section 4.05; and

          (3) if the Sale/Leaseback Transaction is an Asset Disposition and all of the conditions of
Section 4.08 (including the provisions concerning the application of Net Available Cash) are
satisfied with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, treating all of the consideration
received in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction as Net Available Cash for purposes of such Section
4.08.

          SECTION 4.07. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control
occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under
Section 3.01, the Company shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes (the “Change of Control
Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an interest
payment date falling on or prior to the date of purchase). Within 30 days following any Change of
Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes under Section 3.01,
the Company shall mail a notice of such Change of Control Offer to each Holder, with a copy to the
Trustee, stating:

          (1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made and that all Notes properly tendered
pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for purchase by the Company at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to
receive interest on an Interest Payment Date);

          (2) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and

          (3) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the Indenture, that a Holder
must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased.

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

          (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of $2,000 or larger integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess 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 of Notes so tendered; and

          (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted
together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or

- 56 -

 

portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.07.

     (c) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so 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 will be in a
principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     (d) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the
related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Payment
Date shall be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is
registered at the close of business on such Record Date.

     (e) The Change of Control provisions described in this Section 4.07 shall be applicable
whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable.

     (f) Prior to making a Change of Control Payment, and as a condition to such payment (1) the
requisite holders of each issue of Indebtedness issued under an indenture or other agreement that
may be violated by such payment shall have consented to such Change of Control Payment being made
and waived the event of default, if any, caused by the Change of Control or (2) the Company shall
repay all outstanding Indebtedness issued under an indenture or other agreement that may be
violated by a Change of Control Payment or the Company shall offer to repay all such Indebtedness,
and make payment to the holders of such Indebtedness that accept such offer, and obtain waivers of
any event of default arising under the relevant indenture or other agreement from the remaining
holders of such Indebtedness.

     (g) 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 the Indenture applicable to a Change of
Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer.

     (h) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the
repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the
Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to
have breached its obligations described in this Second Supplemental Indenture by virtue of the
conflict.

          SECTION 4.08. Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause, make or suffer to exist any Asset Disposition unless:

          (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at
least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined

- 57 -

 

as of the date of entering into a contractual agreement for such Asset Disposition) of the
shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

          (2) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and

          (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, within 365 days from the later of
the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, as follows:

     (a) to permanently reduce (and permanently reduce commitments with respect
thereto): (x) obligations under the Senior Credit Facility or (y) Secured
Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated
Obligations) or Secured Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any
Disqualified Stock) (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company);

     (b) to permanently reduce obligations under other Indebtedness of the Company
(other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness of a
Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock), in each case other than
Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided that the
Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided
under Section 3.01, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are
at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.08(b) for an Asset Disposition
Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of Notes that
would otherwise be prepaid; or

     (c) to invest in Additional Assets;

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with
clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.08(a)(3), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness (including under a revolving Senior Credit Facility) or otherwise
invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture; provided further that
in the case of clause (c), a binding commitment to invest in Additional Assets shall be treated as
a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the
Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith
expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 270 days
of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is
later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection
therewith, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a
“Second Commitment”) within 90 days of such cancellation or termination and with the good faith
expectation that such

- 58 -

 

Net Available Cash will be applied within 180 days of such Second Commitment, it being understood
that if a Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net
Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

     For the purposes of clause (2) of this Section 4.08(a) and for no other purpose, 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 liabilities that are by
their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and
from which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors
in writing;

     (2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into
cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset
Disposition; and

     (3) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with
all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that
time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 2.5% of Total Tangible
Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market
Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without
giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

     (b) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that are not applied or invested as
provided in Section 4.08(a) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day after
an Asset Disposition, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company
shall be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent
required by the terms of outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of such Pari Passu
Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an
amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to receive
interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in
denominations of $2,000 and larger integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company
shall commence an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds by mailing (or otherwise
communicating in accordance with the procedures of DTC) the notice required pursuant to the terms
of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and
Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset
Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess
Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Indenture. If
the aggregate principal

- 59 -

 

amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by
holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select
the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the
aggregate accreted value or principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness. Upon
completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

     (c) The Asset Disposition Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following
its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the
“Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the
Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Company shall apply all
Excess Proceeds to the purchase of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari
Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) required to be purchased pursuant to this
Section 4.08 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer
Amount of Notes (and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness) has been so validly tendered, all
Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer.
Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

     (d) If the Asset Disposition Purchase Date is on or after a 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.

     (e) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful,
accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount
of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer
Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness
so tendered, in the case of integral multiples of $1,000; provided that if, following repurchase of
a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such
repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased shall be reduced
so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase
is $2,000. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Notes so
accepted and an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions
thereof so accepted and that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08.

     (f) The Company shall deliver all certificates and notes required, if any, by the agreements
governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Paying Agent or the Company, as the case may be, shall
promptly, but in no event, later than five Business Days after termination of the Asset Disposition
Offer Period, mail or deliver to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu
Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes or Pari Passu
Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case
may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note,
and the Trustee, upon delivery of an authentication order from the

- 60 -

 

Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new
Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Second Supplemental
Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate shall be required for the
Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; 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. In addition, the
Company shall take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu
Indebtedness. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the
Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on
the Asset Disposition Purchase Date.

     (g) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture,
the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Second Supplemental Indenture by virtue of any
conflict.

          SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other
than Excluded Project Subsidiaries) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit
to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of
any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Excluded Project Subsidiaries) to:

          (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Project Subsidiaries), or with respect to any
other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness or other
obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Excluded Project
Subsidiaries) (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends
or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common
Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

          (2) make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
Excluded Project Subsidiaries) (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances
made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or
advances); or

          (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Project Subsidiary) (it being understood that such transfers
shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above).

     (b) Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of:

- 61 -

 

          (1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility and
related documentation and other agreements or instruments in effect at or entered into on the Issue
Date;

          (2) the Indenture and the Notes;

          (3) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in

outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default
within the time specified in Section 6.01(4) and (5) after receipt of such notice.”

          SECTION 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. Solely with
respect to the Notes, Section 6.2 of the Original Indenture shall be amended and restated in its
entirety by inserting the following in lieu thereof:

          “If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(8) or (9)

Event of Default, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the written request of
such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. In the event of
a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(6)
has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically
annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(6) shall be
remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the
relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and
if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except
nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because
of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. If an Event of Default described in
Section 6.01(8) or (9) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to
nonpayment of principal, premium or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the
Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived.”

          SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Suits. Solely with respect to the Notes, Section 6.7 of
the Original Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety by inserting the following in

when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

          (2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested
the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

          (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense;

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

          (5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given
the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request
within such 60-day period.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture and any provision of
any Notes, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of and accrued interest on
Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Notes or in the event of redemption
or repurchase, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.”

lieu thereof:

          “If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall

Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may
withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. In
addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal
year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof, one of whom
shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting
officer, know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company shall also deliver
to the Trustee, within 10 Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events
which would constitute a Default, their status and what action the Company is taking or proposing

be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company specifies whether the Notes are being defeased
to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

 - 72 - 

 

          (2) in the case of the exercise of the option under Section 8.02, the Company has 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 Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that the
Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of
such legal defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had not
occurred;

          (3) in the case of the exercise of the option under Section 8.03, the Company has delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S.
federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

          (4) such exercise will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Second Supplemental Indenture) to which the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

          (5) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to
make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in
each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) or insofar as Events of Default resulting
from the borrowing of funds or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on
the 91st day after the date of deposit;

          (6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that,
as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, including, that
no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the
deposit and assuming that no Holder is an “insider” of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law,
after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization of similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally;

          (7) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
creditors of the Company or others;

          (8) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each
stating that all conditions precedent to the exercise of the option under Section 8.02 or 8.03, as
the case may be, have been complied with; and

- 73 -

 

          (9) the Company has delivered irrevocable written instructions to the Trustee to apply the
deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may
be (which instructions may be contained in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in clause (8)

compliance with this Second Supplemental Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being
transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (B) such
amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.”

          SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Noteholders. Solely with respect to the Notes,
Section 10.2 of the Original Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety by inserting
the following in lieu thereof:

          “Except as provided in this Section 9.02, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, subject to certain exceptions, any past default or
compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the
consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver may,
among other things:

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

          (2) reduce the stated rate of interest or extend the stated time for payment of interest on
any Note;

          (3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

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

          (5) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any Note or change the
time at which any Note may be redeemed or repurchased as described under Sections 3.01, 4.07 or
4.08 hereof whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or
otherwise (except amendments to the definition of “Change of Control”);

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

- 75 -

 

          (7) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

          (8) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require each Holder’s consent.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under the Indenture to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or supplement. A consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver under the Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such
Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment, supplement or
waiver under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall be required to give to the Holders
a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice shall not impair or
affect the validity of the amendment, supplement or waiver.

          Any Notes held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded (from both
the numerator and the denominator) for purposes of determining whether the holders of the requisite
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have consented to or voted for a modification,
amendment or waiver of the terms of the Indenture.

twelve 30-day months.

          2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are
registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a

interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or
