action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to
the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or
the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.05.

        

        (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 the
certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing
the same. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -29-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        
          (c) The
ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

         

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

        

        

        (e) The
Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders
entitled to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or take any other act, or to vote or consent to any action by vote or
consent authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. Unless
otherwise specified, if not set by the Issuer prior to the first solicitation of
a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any
such vote, prior to such vote, any such record date shall be the later of 30
days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most
recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such
solicitation.

        

        (f)
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Note may do so 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 such appointment with regard to all or any part
of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its
agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this
paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of
each such different part.

        

        (g)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including DTC that
is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies
duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made,
given or taken by Holders, and DTC that is the Holder of a Global Note may
provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such
Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary
practices.

        

        (h) The
Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by DTC entitled under the
procedures of such depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly
appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or
taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record
date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective
if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

        THE
NOTES

        

        Section
2.01           Form
and Dating; Terms.

        

        (a) General. The Notes
and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibits
A-1 and A-2 hereto. The Notes
may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange
rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its

        authentication.
The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

        

        (b) Global Notes. Notes
issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 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
substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1 and
A-2 attached
hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of
Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note
shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the
“Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and
each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount
of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced
or increased, as applicable, 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 or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in
accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section
2.06 hereof.

        

        
          (c)  [RESERVED]

        

        

        
          (d)  Terms.  The
aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered
under this Indenture is unlimited.

        

        

        The terms
and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors 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.

        

        The Notes
shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or
Collateral Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 4.10 hereof or a Change of
Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14 hereof. The Notes shall not be
redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3.

        

        Additional
Notes ranking pari
passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time
by the Issuer without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall have the
same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes; provided that the
Issuer’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuer’s
compliance with Section 4.09 hereof. Except as described under Article 9 hereof,
the Fixed Rate Notes, including any Additional Fixed Rate Notes, and the
Floating Rate Notes, including any Additional Floating Rate Notes, are two
separate series of Notes under this Indenture, but shall be treated as a single
class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation,
waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase (except where otherwise
specified). Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all
purposes of this Indenture include any Additional Notes that are actually
issued. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture
supplemental to this Indenture.

        

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

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -31-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

        

        Section
2.02           Execution
and Authentication.

        

        At least
one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer 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.

        

        A Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form
provided for in Exhibit A-1 or A-2 , as applicable,
attached hereto, by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
under this Indenture.

        

        On the
Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate
and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the
Trustee shall upon an
Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes. Such
Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated
and shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.09 of this
Indenture.

        

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

        

        Section
2.03           Registrar
and Paying Agent.

        

        The
Issuer 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 (“Note Register”) and of
their transfer and exchange. The Issuer 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 Issuer may
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The
Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent
not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain
another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar.

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

        

        The
Issuer initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. to act
as the Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Notes and the
Registrar to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

        

        Section
2.04           Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

        

        The
Issuer 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, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any
default by the Issuer 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 Issuer 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

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -32-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have
no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary 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 Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as
Paying Agent for the Notes.

        

        Section
2.05           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 Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee
is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two
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 Issuer shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section
312(a).

        

        Section
2.06           Transfer
and Exchange.

        

        (a) Transfer and Exchange of
Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06, a
Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another
nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be
exchanged for a Definitive Note unless (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the
Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global
Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer
within 120 days (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default with
respect to the Notes or (iii) under the circumstances set forth in Section
2.06(k). Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or
beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any
approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in
accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or
replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof.
Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global
Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or
2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be,
a Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the
preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above and pursuant to Section 2.06(c) or
(e) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as
provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.06(b), (c), and (j) 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; provided, however, that prior
to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in
the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account
or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -33-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted
Global Note may be transferred to Persons who 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 2.06(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 2.06(b)(i) hereof, 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 another 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;
provided that
in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note prior to (A) the expiration
of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any
certificates required pursuant to Rule 903; provided, further, that, so
long as the Notes are not freely tradeable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders who
are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuer where no conditions of
Rule 144 are then applicable, in no event shall a beneficial interest in a
Global Note be credited, or an Unrestricted Definitive Note be issued, to a
Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuer. Upon
satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial
interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise
applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal
amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h)
hereof.

        

        (iii) Transfer of Beneficial
Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any
Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof
in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the
transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof and the
Registrar receives the following:

        

        (A) if the
transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A
Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable,
attached hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; or

        

        (B) if the
transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the
form of Exhibit
B-1 or
B-2, as applicable, attached hereto, including the certifications in item
(2) thereof.

         

        (iv) Transfer and Exchange of
Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an
Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted
Global Note may be
exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted
Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of
a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer
complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof and:

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -34-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        
        

        
          (A) the
Registrar receives the following:

        

        (1) if the
holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted
Global Note, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 or C-2, as applicable,
attached hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof;
or

        

        (2) if the
holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate
from such holder in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable,
attached hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

        

        and, in
each such case set forth in this subparagraph (A), if the Registrar so requests
or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form
reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or
transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on
transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer
required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act;
or

         

        (B) such
transfer is effected pursuant to an automatic exchange in accordance with
Section 2.06(j) of this Indenture.

        

        If any
such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B) above at a time
when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue
and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02
hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B)
above.

        

        Beneficial
interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred
to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Note.

        

        
          (c)  Transfer or Exchange of
Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.

        

        

        
          (i)  Beneficial
Interests in Restricted Global Notes to Restricted Definitive
Notes.  If any
holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange
such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Note or to transfer such
beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
Restricted Definitive Note, then, upon the occurrence of any of the events in
paragraph (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.06(a) hereof and receipt by the
Registrar of the following documentation:

        

         

        (A) if the
holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
exchange such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Note, a
certificate from such holder substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 or C-2, as applicable,
attached hereto, including the certifications in item (2)(a)
thereof;

        

        (B) if such
beneficial interest is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A,

exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 3.10, 4.10,
4.14 and 9.05 hereof).

        

        (iii)
Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer
of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -42-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

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

        

        (v) The
Issuer 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 day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02
hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in
part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record
Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

        

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

        

        (vii)
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency
of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount.

        

        (viii) At
the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount
upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever
any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement
Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
hereof.

        

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

        

        (j) Automatic Exchange from
Restricted Global Note to Unrestricted Global Note. At the option of the
Issuer and upon compliance with the following procedures, beneficial interests
in a Restricted Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in an
Unrestricted Global Note. In order to effect such exchange, the Issuer shall
provide written notice to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to (i) direct the
Depositary to transfer the specified amount of the outstanding beneficial
interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note
and provide the Depositary with all such information as is necessary for the
Depositary to appropriately credit and debit the relevant Holder accounts and
(ii) provide prior written notice to all Holders of such exchange, which notice
must include the date such exchange is proposed to occur, the CUSIP number of
the relevant Restricted Global Note and the CUSIP number of the Unrestricted
Global Note into which such Holders’ beneficial interests will be exchanged. As
a condition to any such exchange pursuant to this Section 2.06(j), the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer, and rely upon conclusively without
any liability, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer,
in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect
that such transfer of beneficial interests to the Unrestricted Global Note shall
be effected in compliance with the Securities Act. The Issuer may request from
Holders such information it reasonably determines is required in order to be
able to deliver such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. Upon such
exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(j), the Registrar
shall

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -43-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a
decrease and increase, respectively, in the principal amount of the applicable
Restricted Global Note and the Unrestricted Global Note, respectively, equal to
the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred. Following any such
transfer pursuant to this Section 2.06(j) of all of the beneficial interests in
a Restricted Global Note, such Restricted Global Note shall be cancelled.

        

        (k) Transfers of Securities Held
by Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
2.06, any certificate (i) evidencing a Note that has been transferred to an
affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the Issuer, as
evidenced by a notation on the certificate of transfer or certificate of
exchange for such transfer or in the representation letter delivered in respect
thereof, or (ii) evidencing a Note that has been acquired from an affiliate
(other than by an affiliate) in a transaction or a chain of transactions not
involving any public offering or offering pursuant to Regulation S, as evidenced
by a notation on the certificate of transfer or certificate of exchange for such
transfer or in the representation letter delivered in respect thereof, shall,
until one year after the last date on which either the Issuer or any affiliate
of the Issuer was an owner of such Note, in each case, be in the form of a
permanent Definitive Note and bear the Private Placement Legend subject to the
restrictions in this Section 2.06. The Registrar shall retain copies of all
letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this
Section 2.06(k). The Issuer, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right
to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written
communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable advance
written notice to the Trustee.

         

        Section
2.07           Replacement
Notes.

        

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

        

        Every
replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled
to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all
other Notes duly issued hereunder.

        

        Section
2.08           Outstanding
Notes.

        

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

        

        If a Note
is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 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.

        

        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.

        

        If the
Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay
Notes payable on that date, then on

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -44-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer
outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

        

        Section
2.09          Treasury
Notes.

        

        In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by
any Affiliate of the Issuer, 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 has actual knowledge are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be
disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to
the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes
or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

        

        Section
2.10          Temporary
Notes.

        

        Until
certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer 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 Issuer considers appropriate
for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

        

        Holders
and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled
to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively,
of Notes under this Indenture.

        

        Section
2.11           Cancellation.

        

        The
Issuer 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 or, at the
direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else
shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject
to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the
destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

         

        Section
2.12          Defaulted
Interest.

        

        If the
Issuer 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 Issuer 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, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee 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

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -45-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such
special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer
(or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note
Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the
amount of such interest to be paid.

        

        Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each
Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Note.

         

        Section
2.13           CUSIP
and ISIN Numbers.

        

        The
Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally
in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/or ISIN 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
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 Issuer will as promptly as
practicable notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN
numbers.

        REDEMPTION

        

        Section
3.01           Notices
to Trustee.

        

        If the
Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish
to the Trustee, at least 5 Business Days before notice of redemption is required
to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof
(unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee) but not
more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this
Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption
date, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the
redemption price.

        

        Section
3.02          Selection
of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

        

        If less
than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at
any time, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed
or purchased (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange
on which the Notes are listed or (b) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or by lot or by
such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. In the
event of partial
redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased
shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Registrar and Paying Agent from
the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or
purchase.

         

        The
Registrar and Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the
Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected
for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed
or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000
or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less can
be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be
redeemed or

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -46-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

        

        purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such
Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be
redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions
of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

        

        Section
3.03          Notice
of Redemption.

        

        Subject
to Sections 3.09 and 3.10 hereof, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by
first-class mail notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such
Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of
DTC, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a
redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article
13 hereof. Notices of redemption may be conditional.

        

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

        

        
          (a)  the
redemption date;

        

        

        
          (b)  the
redemption price;

        

        

        (c) if any
Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that
Note that is 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 representing the same indebtedness to the extent
not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon
cancellation of the original Note;

        

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

        

        

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

        

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

        

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

        

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

        

        (i) if in
connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(a) or 3.07(e) hereof, any
condition to such redemption.

        

        At the
Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 5 Business Days before
notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders
pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in
writing by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee
give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice
as provided in the preceding paragraph.

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -47-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        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 (except as provided for in Section 3.07(i) hereof). The
notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been 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 Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to
Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue
on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

        

        Section
3.05          Deposit
of Redemption or Purchase Price.

        

        Prior to
10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer
shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay
the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes
to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying
Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption
price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or
purchased.

        

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

        

        Section
3.06           Notes
Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

        

        Upon
surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the
Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased
portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent
not redeemed or purchased; provided that each
new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in
this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion
of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate
such new Note.

        

        Section
3.07           Optional
Redemption.

        

        (a) At
any time prior to June 15, 2012, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes issued under this Indenture
(including any Additional Fixed Rate Notes) at a redemption price of 111.250% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon
to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest
Payment Date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided
that:

        

        
          
            
            

          

          
            -48-

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate
Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Fixed Rate Notes)
remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption
(excluding Fixed Rate Notes held by the Issuer or its Affiliates); and

        Section
4.03           Reports,
Information Regarding Collateral, and Other
Information.

        

        (a) The
Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and, upon request, to beneficial owners and
prospective investors a copy of all of the information and reports referred to
in clauses (i) and (ii) below within the time periods specified in the
Commission’s rules and regulations:

        

        (i) all
quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be
contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer
were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to
the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the
Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm; and

        

        (ii) all
current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form
8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports.

        

        Whether
or not required by the Commission, the Issuer will comply with the periodic
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and will file the reports specified
in the preceding paragraph with the Commission within the time periods specified
above unless the Commission will not accept such a filing. The Issuer agrees
that it will not take any action for the purpose of causing the Commission not
to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission
will not accept the Issuer’s filings for any reason, the Issuer will post the
reports referred to in the preceding paragraph on its website within the time
periods that would apply if the Issuer were required to file those reports with
the Commission.

        

        In
addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, for so long as any Notes remain
outstanding, furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon their
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act.

        

        For the
avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall not be required to provide any information
in such filings pursuant to Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation
S-X.

        

        No
failure to comply with this Section 4.03(a) will be deemed a Default until a
period of 120 days has elapsed from such failure, and any failure to comply with
this Section 4.03(a) shall be automatically cured when the Issuer files all
required reports with the Commission.

        

        (b) The
Issuer will furnish to the Collateral Trustee, with respect to the Issuer or any
Guarantor, prompt written notice of any change in such Person’s (i) corporate
name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (iii) identity or
corporate structure or (iv) Federal Taxpayer Identification Number. The Issuer
will agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding
sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or
otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Trustee to continue at
all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security
interest in all the Collateral. The Issuer also agrees promptly to notify the
Collateral Trustee if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or
destroyed.

        

        Each
year, at the time of delivery of the annual financial statements with respect to
the preceding fiscal year, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate
of a financial officer setting forth the information required pursuant to the
perfection certificate required by the Security Documents or confirming that
there has been no change in such information since the date of the prior
delivered perfection certificate.

        (a) The
Issuer and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the
end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate from the
principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting
officer stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Issuer
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this
Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate,
that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this
Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default
shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have
knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto).

        

        (b) When
any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture of which the
Issuer is aware, or if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of
Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other
action with respect to a claimed Default, the Issuer shall promptly (which shall
be no more than twenty (20) Business Days) deliver to the Trustee by registered
or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate
specifying such event and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect
thereto.

        The
Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully
do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or
usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and
each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they
shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law has been
enacted.

        (iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease

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

duplication, of:

        

        (A) 50% of
the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one
accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the
Issue Date occurs to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter
for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such
Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a

such payment or proceeds are included in the calculation of Consolidated Net
Income), from the release of any Note Guarantee (except to the extent any
amounts are paid under such Note Guarantee) or from redesignations of
Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, not to exceed,

Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor or of any Equity
Interests of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of
the net cash proceeds of a contribution to the common equity of the Issuer or a
substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of,
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; 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
clause (iii)(B) of Section 4.07(a);

payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of Equity Interests
upon conversion or exchange of securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Equity Interests of the Issuer; provided that any such cash
payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitations of this covenant
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Issuer);

        

        
          (ix)  other
Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0

purchase; and

        

        (xi) the

          (a) The
Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Issuer or
any Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the
Issuer’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 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 at the
beginning of such four-quarter period.

          

          (b)
Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit the Incurrence of any of the following items

$800.0 million and (ii) the Borrowing Base plus (y) the principal amount
of Indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement on the Issue

offering of the Notes, less, in the case of clause (y), the aggregate amount of
(a) all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Issuer or any Restricted

however,
that:

          

          (A) if
the Issuer or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the obligee
is not the Issuer or any Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured
and

          expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all
Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Note
Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor;

          

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

          

          (vii) the
Guarantee by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Issuer

connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary
(other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or
any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of
financing such acquisition), so long as the amount does not exceed the gross
proceeds actually received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof in
connection with such disposition;

          

          (x) the
Incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness

          (xv) Indebtedness incurred in connection with an acquisition,
provided that on a pro
forma basis, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Issuer could
Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under Section 4.09(a); and

          

          (xvi) Indebtedness
of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary supported by a letter of credit or
bank guarantee issued pursuant to Credit Facilities in a principal amount not in
excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit or bank
guarantee.

          

          
            (c)
For
purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that any
proposed
Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted
Debt described in clauses (i) through (xvi) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, or is
entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer will be
permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness at the time of its Incurrence in
any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. In addition, any Indebtedness
originally classified as Incurred pursuant to clauses (i) through (xvi) of
Section 4.09(b) may later be reclassified by the Issuer such that it will be
deemed as having been Incurred pursuant to another of such clauses to the extent
that such reclassified Indebtedness could be incurred pursuant to such new
clause at the time of such reclassification. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date
will be deemed to have been Incurred on such date in reliance on the exception
provided by clause (i) of Section 4.09(b).

          

          

          (d)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of
Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be
deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to
the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

          

          (e) The
Issuer will not Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment
to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer unless it is subordinate in right of
payment to the Notes to the same extent. The Issuer will not permit any
Guarantor to Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to
any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor unless it is subordinate in right of
payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee to the same extent. For purposes of
the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of
payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable,
solely by reason of any Liens or Guarantees arising or created in respect
thereof or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness
have entered into intercreditor agreements 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
Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
consummate, an Asset Sale of Term and Notes Collateral, unless:

           

          (1) the
Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration
at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the
Term and Notes Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of;

           

          (2) except
in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration
therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets or a
combination of the foregoing. For purposes of this provision, each of the
following shall be deemed cash:

          

          
            
              
              

            

            
              - 63
-

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

          

          (a) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted
Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities, Indebtedness that is by its terms
subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee and liabilities to the extent
owed to the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer) that are assumed by the
transferee of any such assets pursuant to a written customary assignment and
assumption agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from
further liability therefor;

          

          (b) any
securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the date of such Asset
Sale of Term and Notes Collateral (to the extent of the cash received in that
conversion); and

          

          (c) any
Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market
value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received
pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of $100 million and 3.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of
such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item
of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

          

             
(3) the consideration received from such Asset Sale is concurrently added to the
Term and Notes Collateral.

          

          (b)
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Term
and Notes Collateral, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may
apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

           

          (1) to
make capital expenditures or purchase Replacement Assets (other than current
assets) (or enter into a binding agreement to make such capital expenditures or
purchase such Replacement Assets); provided that (x) such
expenditure or purchase is consummated within 90 days
after the end of such 365 day period and (y) if such expenditure or purchase is
not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (x), the Net Proceeds
not so applied will be deemed to be Collateral Excess Proceeds (as defined
below); and provided,
further, however, that such assets are
concurrently with their acquisition added to the Term and Notes
Collateral;

          

          (2) to
(x) repay the Term Loan Debt or (y) make one or more offers to all Holders of
the Notes and (if the Issuer is required or so elects), the Term Loan Debt and
the Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations to purchase, on a pro rata basis, all
Notes, the Term Loan Debt and such Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations pursuant
to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture, the Term Loan
Credit Agreement and in the documents governing such Other Pari Passu Secured
Obligations; provided,
however, that in
connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant
to this clause (2), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently
retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related revolving obligations (if
any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so
prepaid, repaid or purchased; or

          

          

          
            (3) any
combination of the foregoing.

          

          

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

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              - 64

          (c) On the 366th day after an Asset Sale of Term and Notes
Collateral or such earlier date, if any, as the Issuer determines not to apply
the Net Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale of Term and Notes Collateral as set
forth in clause (b) above (each such date being referred to as a “Collateral Excess Proceeds Trigger
Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Proceeds that has not been applied
on or before the
Collateral Excess Proceeds Trigger Date as permitted in clause (b) above (“Collateral Excess
Proceeds”) will
be applied by the Issuer to make an offer (a “Collateral Asset Sale
Offer”) to all holders of the Notes
and, if the Issuer is required or so elects, the Term Loan Debt and the Other
Pari Passu Secured Obligations, to purchase the maximum principal amount of the
Notes, Term Loan Debt and Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations that may be
purchased out of the Collateral Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any
Collateral Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of
the Notes and the Term Loan Debt or, in respect of such Other Pari Passu Secured
Obligations and the Term Loan Debt, the price set forth in the documentation
governing such Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Term Loan Debt, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the
right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest
due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), and will be payable in
cash.

           

          (d) The
Issuer may defer the Collateral Asset Sale Offer until there are aggregate
unutilized Collateral Excess Proceeds equal to or in excess of $100.0 million
resulting from one or more Asset Sales of Term and Notes Collateral, at which
time the entire unutilized amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds (not only the
amount in excess of $100.0 million) will be applied as provided in clause (c)
above. If any Collateral Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of a
Collateral Asset Sale Offer, such Collateral Excess Proceeds may be used for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes, the Term Loan Debt and such Other Pari Passu Secured
Obligations tendered into such Collateral Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of
Collateral Excess Proceeds, then the Notes, the Term Loan Debt and the Other
Pari Passu Secured Obligations so tendered will be purchased on a pro rata basis
based on the principal amount of Notes, the Term Loan Debt and the Other Pari
Passu Secured Obligations tendered. Upon completion of each Collateral Asset
Sale Offer, the Collateral Excess Proceeds subject to such Asset Sale of
Collateral will no longer be deemed to be Collateral Excess
Proceeds.

          

          

          (e) The
Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale of Term and Notes Collateral)
unless:

          

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

          

          (2) except
in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration
therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of
cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets or a combination of the foregoing.
For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be
cash:

          

          (A)  any
liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most
recent balance sheet) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than
contingent liabilities, Indebtedness that is by its terms subordinated to the
Notes or any Note Guarantee and liabilities to the extent owed to the Issuer or
any Subsidiary of the Issuer) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
assets pursuant to a written customary assignment and assumption agreement that
releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability
therefor;

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              - 65
-

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

           

          (B)  any securities, notes or other obligations received
by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days
after the date of such Asset Sale (to the extent of the cash received in that
conversion); and

          

          (C)  any
Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market
value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received
pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of $100 million and 3.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of
such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item
of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

           

          
            (f) 
Within
365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale under
paragraph
(e) above, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net
Proceeds at its option:

          

          

          (1) to
repay (x) any Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien (including the Credit
Facilities), (y) any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor (and, in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto) or (z) any
Pari Passu Indebtedness, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer
or a Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Issuer
or any Guarantor shall so reduce any Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to clause
(z), the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by
making an offer to all Holders of the Notes (and, if the Issuer is required to
do so or otherwise elects) the Term Loan Debt and the Other Pari Passu Secured
Obligations to purchase, on a pro rata basis, at a purchase price equal to
100.000% of the principal amount thereof, or, in respect of such Other Pari
Passu Secured Obligations, the price set forth in the documentation governing
such Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and such offer shall be conducted pursuant to the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Indenture, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and
the documents governing the Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations;

           

          (2) to
make capital expenditures or purchase Replacement Assets (or enter into a
binding agreement to make such expenditures or purchase such Replacement Assets;
provided that (x) such
expenditure or purchase is consummated within 90 days after the end of such 365
day period and (y) if such expenditure or purchase is not consummated within the
period set forth in subclause (x), the Net Proceeds not so applied will be
deemed to be Excess Proceeds (as defined in clause (g) below)); or

          

          
            (3) any
combination of the foregoing.

          

          

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

          

          (g) On
the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Issuer
determines not to apply the Net Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set
forth in clause (f) above (each such date being referred as an “Excess Proceeds Trigger
Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Proceeds that has not been applied
on or before the Excess Proceeds Trigger Date as permitted in clause (f) above
(“Excess
Proceeds”) shall be applied by the Issuer to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to
all

          Holders of the Notes, and, if the Issuer is so required or elects,
the Term Loan Debt and the Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes, the Term Loan Debt and Other Pari Passu
Secured Obligations that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer
price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100.000% of the principal amount
of the Notes and the Term Loan Debt, or, in respect of such Other Pari Passu
Secured Obligations and the Term Loan Debt, the price set forth in the
documentation governing such Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Term
Loan Debt, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and such offer shall be
conducted pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Indenture, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the documents governing the Other
Pari Passu Secured Obligations.

          

          (h) The
Issuer may defer the Asset Sale Offer until there are aggregate unutilized
Excess Proceeds equal to or in excess of $100.0 million resulting from one or
more Asset Sales, at which time the entire unutilized amount of Excess Proceeds
(not only the amount in excess of $100.0 million) will be applied as provided in
clause (g) above. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset
Sale Offer, such Excess Proceeds may be used for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes, Term
Loan Debt and Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations tendered into such Asset Sale
Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, then the Notes, the Term Loan Debt
and the Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations will be purchased on a pro rata
basis based on the principal amount of the Notes, the Term Loan Debt and the
Other Pari Passu Secured Obligations tendered. Upon completion of each Asset
Sale Offer, the Excess Proceeds subject to such Asset Sale will no longer be
deemed to be Excess Proceeds.

Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make
any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its
properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into,
make, amend, renew or extend any transaction, contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate
Transaction”), unless, in the case of any transaction involving payments
or aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million:

          

          (i) such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Issuer or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a
comparable arm’s-length transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary
with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; and

          

          (ii) the
Issuer delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $25.0 million, a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate
Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the
Issuer.

          

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

          

          

          
            (i)  transactions
between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted
Subsidiaries;

          (iii)  Restricted Payments that are permitted by the
provisions of this Indenture described above under Section 4.07 hereof and any
Permitted Investment;

          

          
            (iv)
any
sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Issuer;

          

          

          (v)  transactions
pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date or any
amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long
as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or
replaced, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Issuer
and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the original agreement or arrangement in
existence on the Issue Date;

          

          (vi) any
employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or reasonable and
customary indemnification arrangements, entered into by the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries with officers and employees of the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries and the payment of compensation to officers and
employees of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including amounts
paid pursuant to employee benefit plans, employee stock option or similar
plans), so long as such agreement or payment have been approved by a majority of
the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer;

          

          (vii)  any
transaction in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, obtains a favorable written opinion from a nationally recognized investment
banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries from a financial point of view;

           

          (viii) the
entering into of a customary agreement providing registration rights to the
shareholders of the Issuer and the performance of such agreements;

          

          (ix)  (A)
transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of
goods or services, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of
goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business or (B)
transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in
the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or industry
norms; or

          

          (x)  sales
of accounts receivable, or participations therein, or any related transaction,
in connection with any Permitted Receivables Financing.

          

          Section
4.12          Liens.

          

          The
Issuer 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.

          

          If the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs any Indebtedness intended to be
secured by Liens on the Collateral (and such Liens are Permitted Liens
hereunder), the lenders with respect to such Indebtedness or their
representative will join the Intercreditor Agreements or enter into an
intercreditor agreement with the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Collateral
Trustee on terms substantially similar to the Intercreditor Agreements, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

          Section
4.13          Corporate
Existence.

          

          (a)
Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate
existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any
such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses
and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the
Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise,
or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, if the Issuer in good faith shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and
its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          

          (b) Upon
request of the Collateral Trustee at any time after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall, and shall cause its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, (i) permit the Collateral Trustee or any advisor, auditor,
consultant, attorney or representative acting for the Collateral Trustee, upon
reasonable notice to the Issuer and during normal business hours, to visit and
inspect any of the property of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to
review, make extracts from and copy the books and records of the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries relating to any such property, and to discuss any matter
pertaining to any such property with the officers and employees of the Issuer
and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Trustee such
reports, including valuations, relating to any such property or any Lien thereon
as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request. The Issuer will promptly
reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Trustee for all costs and expenses incurred
by the Trustee or Collateral Trustee in connection therewith, including all
reasonable fees and charges of any advisors, auditors, consultants, attorneys or
representatives acting for the Trustee or for the Collateral
Trustee.

          

          

          Section
4.14          Offer to
Repurchase upon Change of Control.

          

          (a) If a
Change of Control occurs, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to
require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the
offer described below (the “Change of Control
Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control
Payment”) equal to not less than 101.000% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date (the “Change of
Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of
such Change of Control). No later than 30 days following any Change of Control,
the Issuer shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer (describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control) by
first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee and the Registrar, to each Holder
of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register with a
copy to the Trustee and the Registrar or otherwise in accordance with the
procedures of DTC, with the following information:

          

          (1)  that
a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that
all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be
accepted for payment by the Issuer;

          

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

          

          
            (3)  that any
Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue
interest;

          

          

          
            
              
              

            

            
              - 69
-

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

          

           

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

          

          (5)  that
Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option
of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the
paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice
prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of
Control Payment Date;

          

          (6)  that
Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to
require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the
Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the 30th day
following the date of the Change of Control notice, a telegram, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the
principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes
purchased;

          

          (7)  that
if the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes, the Holders of the
remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The
unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

          

          (8)  the
other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section
4.14, that a Holder must follow.

          

          The
notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the
notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive
such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s
failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that
properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer 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 Notes pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Issuer shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue thereof.

          

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

          

          

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

          

          (2) deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment
in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered (and the Paying Agent
shall promptly remit or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes so tendered the
Change of Control Payment); and

          

          (3) deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted
together with an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or
portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.

          (c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer following 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 applicable to a Change of Control
Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of
Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is
in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of
Control Offer.

          

          (d) Other
than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to
this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02,
3.05 and 3.06 hereof.

          

          Section
4.15           Guarantees.

          

          (a) If
the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another
Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary on or after the Issue Date, then that newly
acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary must become a Guarantor and execute a
supplemental indenture (in the form of Exhibit D) and a joinder agreement to the
Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement or enter into a substantially
similar intercreditor agreement and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the
Trustee.

          

          (b) The
Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to Guarantee the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Issuer
under Credit Facilities that are secured by a Lien on the Collateral unless such
Restricted Subsidiary (i) is a Guarantor or simultaneously executes and delivers
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and a supplemental indenture (in the form
of Exhibit D) providing for the Note Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by
such Restricted Subsidiary, which Note Guarantee will be senior to or pari passu with such
Subsidiary’s Guarantee of such other Indebtedness, and (ii) executes a joinder
agreement to the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement or enters into a
substantially similar intercreditor agreement and delivers an Opinion of Counsel
to the Trustee.

          

          

          (c) 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 Issuer or
another Guarantor, unless:

          

          
            	
                     
      

                  	
                    (1)

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

                  

          

          

          
            	
                     
      

                  	
                    (2)

                  	
                    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 (if other
      than the Guarantor) is organized or existing under the laws of the United
      States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the
      obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and
      the Security Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture (in the form
      of Exhibit D) and agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;
      or

                  

          

          

          
            	
                     
      

                  	
                    (b)

                  	
                    such
      sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger complies with Section
      4.10 hereof.

          Section
4.16          Maintenance
of Insurance.

          

          (a)  At
all times, at its expense, the Issuer shall cause to be carried and maintained
with reputable insurers, insurance (including property insurance, liability
insurance, business interruption insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance)
of the kinds and in the amounts and with deductibles as are customarily
maintained by prudent companies in similar circumstances, carrying on similar
businesses or having comparable properties and reasonably acceptable to the
Collateral Trustee and the Trustee.

          

          

          (b) The
Collateral Trustee shall be named as an additional insured and loss payee (as
applicable) with respect to all insurance maintained by the Issuer on the
Collateral. Upon request of the Collateral Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to
the Collateral Trustee such information relating to its property and property of
its Restricted Subsidiaries and liability insurance carriers as may be
reasonably requested from time to time.

          

          (c) No
provision of this Section 4.16 shall impose on the Collateral Trustee or the
Trustee any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the
insurance coverage maintained by the Issuer or the Guarantors, nor shall the
Collateral Trustee or the Trustee be responsible for any representations or
warranties made by or on behalf of the Issuer to any insurance company or
underwriter. Any failure on the part of the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee or
Holders to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Section
4.16 from the Issuer or the Guarantors and/or failure of the Collateral Trustee,
the Trustee or Holders to point out any non-compliance of such evidence of
insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in
this Section 4.16; and

          

          (d) 
During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, all insurance
proceeds or condemnation proceeds received by the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries in respect of Term and Notes Collateral shall, if so directed by
the Collateral Trustee be held in the Term Collateral Account held by the
Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Holders pending application of such
proceeds as permitted by the Indenture.

          

          Section
4.17          After-Acquired
Property.

          

          (a) Promptly
following the acquisition by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any material
After-Acquired Property (but subject to the limitations, if applicable, under
the Security Documents and clause (b) below), the Issuer or such Guarantor shall
execute and deliver or procure, as applicable, such mortgages, deeds of trust,
security instruments, financing statements, title insurance (for refineries)
(and surveys if required by the title insurer), and certificates and Opinions of
Counsel as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Trustee a
perfected security interest or other Liens in or on such After- Acquired
Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the Term and Notes
Collateral or the Revolver Collateral, as applicable, and thereupon all
provisions of this Indenture relating to the Term and Notes Collateral or the
Revolver Collateral, as applicable, shall be deemed to relate to such After-
Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and
effect.

          

          (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be required to take any
steps to perfect security interests on the Collateral consisting of motor
vehicles, and shall not be required to grant or perfect security interests on
real property consisting of terminals, convenience stores, retail store
locations or card locks, or on aircraft used for Company business. In addition,
Navajo Convenient Stores Co, LLC will not be required to pledge any assets so
long as the book value of its assets is less than $5.0 million. Finally, the
Issuer and the Guarantors need not pledge assets or properties to the extent
that, in its reasonable judgment, the cost of creating or perfecting liens
thereon will be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Holders
of the Notes; provided
that the Issuer and

          Guarantors
may not rely on this provision if the Term Loan Agent makes a contrary
determination under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and requires a pledge of such
assets.

of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

          

          (a) The
Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Issuer to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that:

          

          (i)  the
aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer
and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary being so designated (including
any Guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) will be deemed to be a Investment made as of
the time of such designation and that such Investment would be permitted under
Section 4.07 hereof;

          

          (ii) such
Subsidiary does not hold any Liens on any property of the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary thereof;

          

          
            (iii) the
Subsidiary being so designated:

          

          

          (A) is
not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer unless the terms of any such
agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the
time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Issuer or would be permitted
under Section 4.11 hereof; and

          

          (B) is
a Person with respect to which neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (1) to subscribe for
additional Equity Interests or (2) to maintain or preserve such Person’s
financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of
operating results, except as would be permitted under Section 4.07
hereof;

          

          
            (iv) no
Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such
designation.

          

          

          
            (b) Any
designation of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary
will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee the Board Resolution
giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that
such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by
this Indenture. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary (x) would fail to
meet any of the preceding requirements described in subclauses (A) or (B) of
clause (iii) of Section 4.18(a), it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness, Investments, or
Liens on the property, of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred or made
by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such
Indebtedness, Investments or Liens are not permitted to be Incurred or made as
of such date under this Indenture, the Issuer will be in Default under this
Indenture.

          

          

          (c) The
Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that:

          

          (i) such
designation will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if such Indebtedness is
permitted under the covenant described under Section 4.09 hereof;

          (ii) all outstanding Investments owned by such Unrestricted
Subsidiary will be deemed to be made as of the time of such designation and such
designation will only be permitted if such Investments would be permitted under
Section 4.07 hereof;

          

          (iii) all
Liens upon property or assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary existing at the
time of such designation would be permitted under Section 4.12 hereof;
and

          

          
            (iv) no
Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such
designation.

          

          

          Section
4.19          Payments
for Consent

          

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

          

          Section
4.20           Real
Estate.

          

          On or
prior to the Issue Date, or as reasonably practicable after the Issue Date, but
in no event later than 45 days after the Issue Date (such time and date, the
“Mortgage Closing
Date”), the Issuer and the Guarantors will deliver to the Collateral
Trustee:

          

          (a) the
favorable opinions of Andrews Kurth LLP, Montgomery & Andrews, P.A.,
Fennemore Craig, P.C. and McGuire Woods LLP, counsel for certain Guarantors, or
other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee, in form and

          (b) modifications
to or amendments and restatements of the deeds of trust, trust deeds and
mortgages delivered pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Existing Mortgages”)
in substantially the form delivered in July 2007 in connection with the Term
Loan Credit Agreement (with such changes as may be required to account for local
law matters and the substitutions of the beneficiary or mortgagee thereunder)
and covering the Refineries and Pipeline System and amending the first priority
Lien thereon (in each case as the same may be amended from time to time, the
“Mortgages”) to
secure on a pari passu basis the Term Loan Obligations and the Notes Obligations
under this Indenture, duly executed by the Issuer or the appropriate Subsidiary,
together with:

          

          (i)  evidence
that counterparts of the Mortgages have been either (x) duly recorded on or
before the Mortgage Closing Date or (y) duly executed, acknowledged and
delivered in form suitable for filing or recording in all filing or recording
offices that the Collateral Trustee shall deem reasonably necessary or in its
reasonable judgment desirable in order to create a valid first and subsisting
Lien on the property described therein in favor of the Collateral Trustee for
the benefit of the Term and Notes Secured Parties, and that all filing and
recording taxes and fees have been paid (including any mortgage recording taxes)
(or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee have been
made for such payment), and that all other actions necessary to perfect and
protect the liens secured by the Mortgages have been taken,

          

          (ii)  fully
paid American Land Title Association Lender’s Extended Coverage title insurance
policies (the “Mortgage Policies”)
in the form, with the endorsements, and in the amounts of the title insurance
policies insuring the Existing Mortgages. The Mortgage Policies shall be issued
by the title insurers that issued the existing policies from 2007 or, if such
title insurers are unable or unwilling to issue such policies, such policies may
be issued by a nationally recognized title

          company satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, in either case in
the form of the 2007 title policies (taking into account the additional property
in El Paso Refinery and other Permitted Liens). The Mortgage Policies shall
insure the Mortgages covering the Refineries and Pipeline System to be valid
first and subsisting liens on the property described therein, free and clear of
all defects and encumbrances, excepting only the Liens and other matters
included as exceptions on such existing title policies and Permitted Liens. To
the extent that the Issuer is in the position to deliver all of the items set
forth in this Section 4.20 except for Mortgage Policies with the deletion of
creditors’ rights exclusion, the Issuer shall deliver all such items, including
the Mortgage Policies without such exclusion, and shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver, no later than the Mortgage Closing Date, the
Mortgage Policies with such creditors’ rights exclusion,

upon request by the Collateral Trustee, the Issuer shall (and shall cause any of
its Subsidiaries to and each Subsidiary shall) do, execute, acknowledge,
deliver, record, re-record, file, re- file, register and re-register, any and
all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, security agreements, mortgages,
assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements and continuations
thereof, termination statements, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates,
assurances and other instruments the Collateral Trustee may reasonably require
from time to time in order to (i) carry out more effectively the purposes of any
Security Document, (ii) subject to the Liens created by any of the Security
Documents any of the properties, rights or interests (other than Excluded
Property) intended to be covered by any of the Security Documents, (iii) perfect
and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Security
Documents and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) better assure,
convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the Collateral

(iii) of Section 5.01(a) will be suspended (such suspended covenants, the “Suspended Covenants”)
and cease to have any further effect from and after the first date when the
Notes are rated Investment Grade; provided, that if the Notes cease to have an
Investment Grade Rating, then, from and after such time, the obligation of the
Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the Suspended Covenants
shall be reinstated.

          

          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such
reinstatement shall give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this
Indenture upon reinstatement; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted
Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments
made on or after the Issue Date will be calculated as though Section 4.07 had
been in effect during the entire period after such date; and (2) all
Indebtedness, Incurred, during the suspension period will be deemed to have been
Incurred as Existing Indebtedness and (3) promptly, and in any event within 10
Business Days of such reinstatement, any Restricted Subsidiary that would have
been required prior to such reinstatement

          property of the Issuer, Guarantor 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;
or

          

          (3)
orders the liquidation of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any of the Issuer’s
Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary;

          

          and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive
days;

          

          (b) In
the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of
Default described in clause (v) under Section 6.01(a) has occurred and is
continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically
annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of
Default pursuant to such clause (v) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the
holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of
Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 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 or interest on the Notes that became due solely
because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or
waived.

           

          Section
6.02          Acceleration.

          

          
            (a) If any
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (ix)
or (x)
of
Section 6.01(a) hereof with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing
under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium,
if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding
Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such
declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines acceleration is
not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes.

          

          

          
            (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause
(ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) hereof with respect to the Issuer, all
outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or
notice.

          

          

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

           

          Section
6.03          Other
Remedies.

           

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

          

          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 not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes. 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.

          

          Subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee,
however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of
any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal
liability.

          

          Section
6.06         Limitation
on Suits.

          

          Subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and subject to Section 6.07 hereof,
no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the
Notes or any Security Document unless:

          

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

          

          

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

          

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

          

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

          

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

          

          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.

          

          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

after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection
with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control

respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of any
such Holder.

          

          Section
6.08          Collection
Suit by Trustee.

          

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

          

          Section
6.09         Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.

          

          If the
Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and such Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding has been instituted.

          

          Section
6.10          Rights and
Remedies Cumulative.

          

          Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

          

          Section
6.11          Delay or
Omission Not Waiver.

          

          No delay
or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

          

          Section
6.12          Trustee May
File Proofs of Claim.

          

          Subject
to the Intercreditor Agreements, 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 Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the
Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered
to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in
such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it

          for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and 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. Subject to the
Intercreditor Agreements, 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.

          (i) to
the Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, their agents and attorneys
for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent and the costs and expenses of
collection;

          

          (ii) to
Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes (of the applicable
series, if only received with respect to one series) for principal, premium, if
any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if
any, and interest, respectively; and

          

          (iii) to
the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct
including a Guarantor, if applicable.

          

          The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of
Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13.

          

          Section
6.14           Undertaking
for Costs.

          

          In any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a
court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion
may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any
party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not

7.01          Duties of
Trustee.

          

          (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

circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

          

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

          

           

          (i)  the
duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee;
and

          

          (ii) in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture.

          

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

          

          

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

          

          

          (ii) the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
and

          

          (iii) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section
6.05 hereof.

          

          
            (d) Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture
that in
any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 7.01.

          

          

          (e) The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers
under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the
Notes unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

          

          (f) The
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as
the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the

7.02          Rights of
Trustee.

          

          (a)  The
Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the
sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of
any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

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

          

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

          

          (d)  The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Indenture.

          

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

          

          (f)  None
of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not assured to it.

           

          (g)  The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of or be charged with the knowledge
of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in
fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this
Indenture.

          

          

          (h) In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action.

          

          (i)  The
Trustee may from time to time request that the Issuer deliver an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the names and/or titles of officers authorized at such
time to take specified actions under this Indenture.

          

          (j)  The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and
shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and
each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

          

          Section
7.03          Individual
Rights of Trustee.

          

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

for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the

          If a
Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it
occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the
Holders notice of any continuing Default 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. The Trustee shall not be deemed to
know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is such a Default
is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the

complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in
Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also
shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also
transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section
313(c).

          

          A copy of
each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed

          The
Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from
time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, 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.

          

          The
Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee
for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including
this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any
Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connective with

hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which
it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not
relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the
claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel if (i) the Issuer shall have failed to assume
the defense thereof or employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
or (ii) the Trustee shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be
one or more defenses available to it which are different from or additional to
those available to the Issuer (in which case the Issuer shall not have the right
to assume the defense on behalf of the Trustee). The Issuer need not reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad
faith.

          

          The
obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

          

          Notwithstanding
anything contrary in Section 4.12 hereto, to secure the payment obligations of
the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a
claim prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular
Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.

          

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

          

          The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section
313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. As used in this Section 7.07, the term
“Trustee” shall also include each of the Paying Agent, Registrar, and Transfer
Agent, as applicable.

appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing
at any time and the Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent may resign with
90 days prior written notice and be discharged from the trust hereby created by
so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and
the Issuer in writing and may remove the Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer
Agent by so notifying such Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, as
applicable, with 90 days prior written notice. The Issuer may remove the Trustee
if:

          

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

          

          

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

          

          
            (c)
a

the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          

          

          If the
Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee
for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within
one year after the successor Trustee

          takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor
Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

          

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

          

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

          

          A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. 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 Trustee to the
successor Trustee; provided all sums
owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          

          As used
in this Section 7.08, the term “Trustee” shall also include each of the Paying
Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent, as applicable.

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

Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          

          The
Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or

Defeasance and Discharge.

          

          Upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of any
series and Note Guarantees of such series on the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”).
For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes
of such series, 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 (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under the Notes of such series and this Indenture including that of
the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:

          

          

          (i)  the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive payments in

          (ii) the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes of such series concerning issuing
temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for
security payments held in trust;

          

          (iii) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s
and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith;

          

          
            (iv) this
Section 8.02; and

          

          

          
            (v)  the Legal
Defeasance provisions of this Indenture.

          

          

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

Defeasance.

          

          Upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07,
4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21,
4.22 and clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 5.01(a) with respect to the
outstanding Notes of any series on and after the date the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes of such series 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 (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
of such series, the Issuer 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 the Notes of
such series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
Sections 6.01(iii), 6.01(iv), 6.01(v), 6.01(vi), 6.01(vii) and 6.01(viii) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default.

to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

          

          The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes of any series:

Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes of such series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable

accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, and
interest due on the outstanding Notes of such series on the Stated Maturity or
on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must
specify whether the Notes of such series are being defeased to maturity or to a
particular redemption date;

          

          (2) in

Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the
Issuer 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 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 of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not
occurred;

          

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

          

          (4) no
Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit;

          

          (5) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to
which

Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders
over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others;

          

          (7) if
the Notes of such series are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, the

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

          

          Subject
to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee,
collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, 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 Issuer or a Guarantor 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 interest, but such money need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

          

          The
Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the cash or 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.

          

          Anything
in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer any
money or 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

          Section
8.06          Repayment
to Issuer.

          

          Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, 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 or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request
or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall
thereupon cease.

          Section
8.07          Reinstatement.

          

          If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 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 Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.04 or 8.05
hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such money in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, as the case may be;
provided that,
if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer 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.

          Section
9.02          With
Consent of Holders of Notes.

          

          (a)
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note
Guarantees and any Security Document with the consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any)
then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or
purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any
existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default
in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes,
except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded)
or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the
Security Documents or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes
are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section
9.02.

          

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

          

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

          

          After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Issuer shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly
describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer 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.

          

          

          (b) Without
the consent of each Holder of Notes of a series affected, an amendment or waiver
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 of such series or
alter the provisions, or waive any payment, with respect to the redemption of
the Notes;

          

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

          

          

          (iv) waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest, or
premium, 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 of such series 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, if any, on, the Notes;

          

          (vii) release
any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under
its Note Guarantee with respect to such series or this Indenture, except in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

          

          (viii)  release
all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens created by the
Security Documents except as specifically provided for in this Indenture and the
Security Documents;

          

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

          

          (xi)  amend
or modify any of the provisions of this Indenture or the related definitions
affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Note Guarantee in any manner adverse
to the Holders of any Notes or any Note Guarantee; or

          

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

             

          

          
            Section
9.03          [Reserved].

            

            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. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with
its terms and thereafter binds every Holder; provided that any amendment or
waiver that requires the consent of each affected Holder shall not become
effective with respect to any non-consenting Holder although it will bind a
Holder of Notes transferred from any consenting Holder.

          

          The
Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or
waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding
paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly
designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such
amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given,
whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such
record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been
obtained.

          Section
9.05          Notation on
or Exchange of Notes.

          

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

          

          Failure
to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note 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 amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to
this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any
amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
(subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in
addition to the documents required by Section 14.03 hereof, an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended
or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that
such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any
amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this
Indenture.

is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest on any

defect or deficiency as to any such matters.

          

          (c) Subject

terms or the terms of this Indenture, authorizes and directs the Trustee and the
Collateral Trustee to enter into the Security Documents to which it is a party,
authorizes and empowers the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee to execute and

empowers the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee to bind the Holders of Notes and
other holders of Term and Notes Obligations as set forth in the Security
Documents to which they are a party and the Intercreditor Agreements and to
perform their obligations and exercise its rights and powers
thereunder.

          

          

          (b) Each

Intercreditor Agreements or enter into any additional intercreditor agreement or

governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise
invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order
would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests
of Holders or the Trustee.

may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security
Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of

Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been
met, the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee shall execute any documents
indicating such release at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) under any one or
more of the following circumstances:

          

          (1)  to
enable the disposition or other use of such property or assets to the extent

            (b)  The Liens
on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees of a series

of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, and premium, if any, on, the
Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Note Guarantees and
the Security Documents with respect to such series that are due and payable at
or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest
are paid or (ii) a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under Article 8
hereof with respect to such series or a discharge under Article 13
hereof.

          

          

          For the
avoidance of doubt, Sections 314(b) and 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act
Section shall not apply to this Indenture.

the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully
appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 11 upon the Issuer or a
Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such
property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed
by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar
instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof
required by the provisions of this Article 11; and if the Trustee or the
Collateral Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any
provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or
the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be.

full of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this

Trustee shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the
Trustee, and the Trustee shall do or cause to be done, at the Issuer's sole cost
and expense, all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien in favor of the
Trustee as soon as is reasonably practicable.

GUARANTEES

          

          Section
12.01       Note
Guarantee.

          

          Subject
to this Article 12, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully
and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns,
irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or
the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal
of, interest, premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest
on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and
all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same
shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise. 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.

           

          The
Guarantors hereby agree that 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 Issuer, 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 Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance
of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

           

          Each
Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing
any rights under this Section 12.01.

          

          If any
Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar
official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount
paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect.

          

          Each
Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until
payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further
agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of
this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding

          any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) 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 Guarantees.

          

          Each Note
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation,
reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned
by any obligee on the Notes or Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

          

          In case
any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          

          Each
payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made
without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or
nature.

          

          As used
in this Section 12.01, the term “Trustee” shall also include each of the Paying
Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent, as applicable.

          

          Section
12.02       Limitation on Guarantor
Liability.

          

          Each
Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it
is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor
not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy
Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note
Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and
the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such
maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor
that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections
from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of
any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under
this Article 12, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under
applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee
shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this
Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such
other Guarantor’s pro
rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all
the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with
GAAP.

12.03       Execution and
Delivery.

          Financial Officer, one of its Senior Vice Presidents, one of its
Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents.

          

          Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01
hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the
endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.

          

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

          

          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.

          

          If
required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any newly created or
acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.16
hereof and this Article 12, to the extent applicable.

          

          Section
12.04       Subrogation and
Subordination.

          

          Each
Guarantor will agree that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in
full in cash of all applicable obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees,
this Indenture and the Security Documents it shall waive any claim and shall not
exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any
performance by it of its Note Guarantee, whether by subrogation or otherwise,
against either the Issuer or any other Guarantor. The Issuer and each Guarantor
will agree that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the obligations with
respect to the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture and the Security
Documents.

          

          Section
12.05       Benefits
Acknowledged

          

          Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee
and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.

12.06       Release of Note

any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in
U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in
such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of
interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and
accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

             

            (ii)  no
Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing on the date of

amount of this Note at 11.250% per annum from June 12, 2009 until
maturity.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on
June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day,
on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
date of issuance; provided that the
first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2009.  The Issuer
will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on

will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months.

             

            2.           METHOD
OF PAYMENT.  The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on June 1 or
December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest.  Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the
Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, provided that payment
by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes and all other
Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the
Issuer or the Paying Agent.  Holders must surrender the Notes to the
Paying Agent to collect the principal.  All payments with respect to
the Notes shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts.

             

            3.           PAYING
AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A. will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.

             

            4.           INDENTURE.  The
Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of June 12, 2009 (the
“Indenture”),
among Western Refining, Inc., the Guarantors named therein, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  This Note is one of a

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.

            (g)           Any

provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.

             

            6.           MANDATORY
REDEMPTION.  The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                A-2-7

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

               

            

            7.           NOTICE
OF REDEMPTION.  Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, notice
of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date (except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the
Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered
address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in
part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the
Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the
redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption.

             

            8.           OFFERS
TO REPURCHASE.

             

            (a)           If
a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to
require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control
Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control
Payment”) equal to not less than 101.000% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date (the “Change of
Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of
such Change of Control).  The Change of Control Offer shall be made in
accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.

             

            (b)           In
accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to
offer to purchase the Notes upon certain asset sales.

             

            9.           SECURITY
FOR THE NOTES.  The Notes and the Note Guarantees will be secured on a
first-priority basis by the Term and Notes Collateral and on a second-priority
basis by the Revolver Collateral as provided in the Indenture and the Security
Documents.

             

            10.           DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof.  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 Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Issuer need
not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes or portion of Notes selected
for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in
part.  Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of
any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed.

             

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

             

            12.           AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

             

            13.           DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES.  The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined
in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.  If any 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 the principal, premium, if any,
interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to
be due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce the
Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees except as provided in the
Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority

            in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee
in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating
to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest.  As set forth in the
Indenture, 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 and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder.  The
Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within five (5)
Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a
statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take
with respect thereto.

             

            14.           AUTHENTICATION.  This
Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the
Trustee.

             

            15.           GOVERNING
LAW.  THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND ANY GUARANTEE WILL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

             

            16.           CUSIP/ISIN
NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP/ISIN
numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP/ISIN 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
Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy
of the Indenture.  Requests may be made to the Issuer at the following

            Senior
Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2014

             

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

             

            1.           INTEREST.  Western
Refining Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note quarterly, in arrears, at the rate per annum, reset
quarterly, equal to the three month LIBOR (as defined below) plus 7.50% (the
“Calculated Interest
Rate”), which Calculated Interest Rate shall be subject to the adjustment
set below.  The Issuer shall pay interest quarterly on March 15, June
15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
date of issuance; provided that the
first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2009.  The Issuer
will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on
demand at the interest rate on the Notes; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from
time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes.  Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year based on the actual number of
days elapsed.

             

            “LIBOR” means, with
respect to an Interest Period, the greater of (a) 3.25% or (b) the interest rate
determined by the Calculation Agent as follows:

             

            (1) the
arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for the
three-month period that appear on “Reuters Page LIBOR 01” (or if such page by
its terms provides for a single rate, such single rate) at approximately 11:00
a.m., London time, on the date that is two (2) Business Days before the interest
determination date. “Reuters Page LIBOR 01” means the display page designated as
“LIBOR 01” on the Reuters service for the purpose of displaying London interbank
offered rates of major banks, or any successor page on the Reuters service
selected by the Issuer with the consent of the Calculation Agent, or if the
Issuer determines that no such successor service exists on Reuters, an
equivalent page on any successor service selected by the Issuer with the consent
of the Calculation Agent; or

             

            (2) If a
rate cannot be determined under clause (1) above, the Calculation Agent shall
determine LIBOR on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are
offered by four major banks in the London interbank market (selected by the
Calculation Agent after consulting with the Issuer) at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on the date that is two (2) Business Days before the interest
determination date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of
three months in principal amounts of at least $1,000,000, which rates are
representative for single transactions in such market at such time. In such
case, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London office of each
such major bank to provide a quotation of that rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, LIBOR for the applicable interest reset date will be
the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are
provided as requested, LIBOR for the applicable interest reset date shall be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City, New
York (selected by the Calculation Agent after consulting with the Issuer) at
approximately 11:00 a.m. New York time, on the date that is two (2) Business
Days before the interest determination date for the applicable interest reset
date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading banks for a period of three months
commencing on such interest reset date and in a principal amount equal to an
amount not less than $1,000,000, which rates are representative for

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                A-2-5

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

            

             

            single
transactions in such market at such time. If fewer than three quotations are
provided as requested, LIBOR for the following Interest Period shall be the same
as the rate determined for the then-current Interest Period.

             

            As used
herein, “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including the
Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, with the exception that the first
Interest Period shall commence on and include the Issue Date and end on and
include September 15, 2009.

             

            All
percentages resulting from the calculation of the interest rate with respect to
the Notes shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth
of a percentage point, with five one-millionth of a percentage point rounded
upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or
..0987655) and 9.876544% (or 0.9876544) would be rounded to 9.87654% (or
0.987654), and all dollar amounts in or resulting from any such calculation
shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
upward)).

             

            Promptly
upon determination, the Calculation Agent shall inform the Trustee and the
Issuer of the interest rate for the next Interest Period.  The
Calculation Agent shall also, upon the request of the Holder of any Notes,
provide the interest rate in effect for the then-current Interest Period and, if
it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest
Period.  All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence
of willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error will be conclusive for all
purpose and binding on the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes.

             

            All
interest rate on the Floating Rate Note will in no event be higher than the
maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United
States law of general application.

             

            2.           METHOD
OF PAYMENT.  The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on March 1,
June 1, September 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as
the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes
are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to
defaulted interest.  Payment of interest may be made by check mailed
to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, provided that payment
by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes and all other
Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the
Issuer or the Paying Agent.  Holders must surrender the Notes to the
Paying Agent to collect the principal.  All payments with respect to
the Notes shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts.

             

            3.           PAYING
AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A. will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.

             

            4.           INDENTURE.  The
Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of June 12, 2009 (the
“Indenture”),
among Western Refining, Inc., the Guarantors named therein, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent.  This Note is one of a
duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its Senior Secured
Floating Rate Notes due 2014.  The Issuer shall be entitled to issue
Additional Floating Rate Notes pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 4.09 of the
Indenture.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the

            (d)           In

any Floating Rate Notes held by the Issuer or its Affiliates); provided further that each
such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such
Equity Offering.

             

            (e)           Any
notice of any redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any
such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or

Equity Offering or other corporate transaction.

             

            (f)           If

Paying Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under
Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                A-2-7

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

            

             

             

            (g)          Any

REDEMPTION.  The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

             

            7.           NOTICE
OF REDEMPTION.  Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, notice
of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date (except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the
Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered
address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in
part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the
Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the
redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption.

             

            8.           OFFERS
TO REPURCHASE.

             

            (a)           If
a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to
require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control
Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control
Payment”) equal to not less than 101.000% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date (the “Change of
Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of
such Change of Control).  The Change of Control Offer shall be made in
accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.

             

            (b)           In
accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to
offer to purchase the Notes upon certain asset sales.

             

            9.           SECURITY FOR THE
NOTES.  The Notes
and the Note Guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis by the Term
and Notes Collateral and on a second-priority basis by the Revolver Collateral
as provided in the Indenture and the Security Documents.

             

            10.         DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof.  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 Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Issuer need
not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes or portion of Notes selected
for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in
part.  Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of
any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed.

             

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

             

            12.         AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

             

            13.         DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES.  The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined
in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.  If any 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 the principal, 

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                A-2-8

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

            

             

            premium,
if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding
Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce
the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees except as provided in the
Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee
in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating
to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest.  As set forth in the
Indenture, 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 and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder.  The
Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within five (5)
Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a
statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take
with respect thereto.

             

            14.         AUTHENTICATION.  This
Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the
Trustee.

             

            15.         GOVERNING
LAW.  THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND ANY GUARANTEE WILL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

             

            16.         CUSIP/ISIN
NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP/ISIN
numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP/ISIN 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
Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy
of the Indenture.  Requests may be made to the Issuer at the following

execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

             

            NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually
covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes
as follows:

             

            (1)           Capitalized
Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

             

            (2)           Agreement to
Guarantee.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as
follows:

             

            (a)           Along
with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally
unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the
Transfer Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer
hereunder or thereunder, that:

             

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

             

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

             

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                E-1

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

            

             

            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 and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately.  This is a guarantee of payment
and not a guarantee of collection.

             

            (b)           The
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor.

             

            (c)           The
following is hereby waived:  diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

             

            (d)           This
Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this Supplemental
Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a
Guarantor under the Indenture.

             

            (e)           If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer, the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any
custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect.

             

            (f)           The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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.

             

            (g)           As
between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture 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 6 of the Indenture, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Note
Guarantee.

             

            (h)           The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 this Note Guarantee.

             

            (i)           Pursuant
to Section 12.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable
Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance 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 Article 12 of the Indenture, this new Note Guarantee shall
be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Note Guarantee will not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

             

            
              
                
                

              

              
                E-2

                
                  

                

              

              
                
                

              

            

             

             

            (j)           This
Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation,
reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned
by any obligee on the Notes and Note Guarantee, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by
such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.

             

            (k)           In
case any provision of this Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

             

            (l)           Each
payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Note
Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution
of any kind or nature.

             

            (3)           Execution and
Delivery.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of
the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee.

             

            (4)           Releases.  The
Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

             

            (a)           if
the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction permitted
under the Indenture, including through the disposition of Capital Stock of such
Guarantor;

             

            (b)           if
the Issuer properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary under the Indenture; or

             

            (c)           solely
in the case of a Note Guarantee created pursuant to Section 4.15(b) of the
Indenture, upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee which resulted in the
creation of such Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15(b) of the Indenture,
except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such
Guarantee.

             

             (5)           No Recourse Against
Others.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or
stockholder of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing
Subsidiary) under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this
Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder by accepting
Notes waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

             

            (6)           Governing
Law.  THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

             

            (7)           Counterparts.  The

Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement.

            (8)           Effect of
Headings.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.

             

            (9)           The
Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental
Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which
recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary.

             

            (10)           Subrogation.  The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary will agree that until the indefeasible payment and
satisfaction in full in cash of all applicable obligations under the Notes, the
Note Guarantees, the Indenture and the Security Documents, it shall waive any
claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by
reason of any performance by it of its Note Guarantee, whether by subrogation or
otherwise, against either the Issuer or any other Guarantor.  The
Issuer and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary agree that all Indebtedness and other
monetary obligations owed by it to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Issuer shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of the obligations with respect to the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the
Indenture and the Security Documents.

             

            (11)           Benefits
Acknowledged.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee is
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.  The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and this
Supplemental Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to
this Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits.

             

            (12)           Successors.  All
agreements of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in this Supplemental Indenture shall
bind its Successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 2(k) hereof or
elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture.  All agreements of the
Trustee in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors.

Closing Date, and, thereafter, in each Settlement Statement,
the Servicer shall calculate the Deferred Purchase Price as
of the last day of the full Accounting Period most recently
completed,

3

 

	 	 	 	which shall be an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Credit
Enhancement Reserve, plus (2) the Yield Reserve, plus
(3) the Servicer’s Compensation Reserve; provided,
that if a Liquidation Day occurs, the Deferred Purchase
Price will thereafter be the amount of the Deferred Purchase
Price at the close of business on the day immediately
preceding such Liquidation Day.”

	 	(n)	 	Each of Section 9.01(i)(1) and Section 9.03(i)(1) of the RPA shall be amended
by (i) deleting the word “and” set forth at the end of clause (i) therein, and (ii)
adding the following at the end thereof as a new clause (iii):

	 	 	 	“, and (iii) if the Seller or the Servicer is unable to
place an appropriate code or notation in its Records with
respect to any Receivable which is or which will be included
in the Receivables Pool, a schedule, by Obligor, of all
Receivables in or to be included in the Receivables Pool, as
of the last day of the most recently completed Accounting
Period, and the Account Balance of each such Receivable as
of such date, in CD-ROM format or other written or
electronic format as requested by the Administrative Agent.”

	 	(o)	 	Section 10.01(r) and Section 10.01(s) of the RPA shall each be amended by
replacing them in their entirety with the following:

	 	“(r)	 	the average Default Ratio for
any three consecutive Accounting Periods is greater
than 2%; or

	 	(s)	 	the average Dilution Ratio for any three
consecutive
Accounting Periods is greater than 3.5%.”

	 	(p)	 	Section 12.08 of the RPA shall be amended by replacing it in its entirety with
the following:

	 	 	 	“12.08 Amendments and Waivers. The Administrative
Agent, the Managing Agents, the Buyers, the Company and the
Seller may from time to time enter into agreements amending,
modifying or supplementing this Agreement, and the
Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Buyers, in
their sole discretion, may from time to time grant waivers
of the provisions of this Agreement or consents to a
departure from the due performance of the obligations of the
Seller or any Originator under this Agreement. Any such
agreement, waiver or consent must be in writing and shall be
effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing. Any waiver of any

4

 

	 	 	 	provision hereof, and any consent to a departure by the
Seller from any of the terms of this Agreement, shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given and if such amendment, waiver or
departure would have a material adverse effect on the rights
or obligations of the Administrative Agent, any Managing
Agent, any Buyer or any Affected Party, such amendment,
departure or waiver shall not be effective until consented
to by the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent, such
Buyer or such Affected Party.”

in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and
