discharges any Indebtedness (other than (i) ordinary working capital borrowings and (ii) in the

average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues, repurchases or
redeems preferred equity subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio is being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the
calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Fixed

and cost reductions and other operating improvements that have occurred or are reasonably expected

four-quarter period, and if, since the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, any Person

its other Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any
acquisition, Investment, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation, in each case
with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to

thereto for such period as if such Asset Acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger
or consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period.
Any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have
been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time during such four-quarter period.

the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting
officer of the Company. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given
pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on
the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any

     (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by
law,

29

 

stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The
Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

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

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

     (c) 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

Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

     At least one Officer must sign the Notes for each 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 will nevertheless be valid.

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

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

     The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers 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
Issuers.

30

 

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

     The Issuers will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer
and exchange. The Issuers 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 Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to
any Holder. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent
not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuers or any of the Company’s
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

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

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

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

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

     (1) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling
or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency
registered under

31

 

the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Issuers within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

     (2) the Issuers, at their option and subject to the procedures of the Depositary,
determine that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for
Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or

     (3) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

     Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes
shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may
be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 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. A Global Note may not be exchanged for
another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a
Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

     (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial
interests in the Restricted Global Notes will 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 will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2)
below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

     (1) 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 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)(1).

     (2) 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)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the
Registrar either:

     (A) both:

     (i) 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

32

 

     (ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with
such increase; or

     (B) both:

     (i) 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

     (ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing

them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for their expenses in replacing a
Note.

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

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

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

     If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected 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 Issuers, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of
any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

     In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers or any Guarantor, or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
the Issuers or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be
so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

     The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such
canceled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the

44

 

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

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers.

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

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

     If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section
3.07 hereof, they must furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

	 	(1)	the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;
	 
	 	(2)	the redemption date;
	 
	 	(3)	the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed;
	 
	 	(4)	the redemption price; and
	 
	 	(5)	applicable CUSIP Numbers.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

     If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes
for redemption or purchase as follows:

45

 

     (1) 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

     (2) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata
basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, based on DTC’s method that most nearly approximates
a pro rata selection).

     In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or
purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called
for redemption.

     The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole
multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed
in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

     (a) Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address,
except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

     The notice will identify the Notes (including CUSIP Numbers) to be redeemed and will state:

     (1) the redemption date;

     (2) the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

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

46

 

     (9) if in connection with any conditional notice of redemption pursuant to Section
3.07(e) hereof, any condition to the related redemption.

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

     Notice of any redemption of Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion of a related Equity Offering
and, in the case of a redemption with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, may be given prior to the
completion thereof. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption unless
redemption is conditioned upon the closing of a specified transaction.

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 3.03 and 3.07(e) hereof. The notice, if mailed in accordance
with Section 3.03 hereof, 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 designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

     One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying
Agent will promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent
by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed.

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

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part.

     Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers will issue and, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers
a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered, provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this
Indenture to the contrary, only an

47

 

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) On any one or more occasions prior to April 1, 2014, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes

Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if

accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

     (c) On any one or more occasions prior to April 1, 2015, the Issuers may also redeem all or a
part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class

principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date
(subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date).

     (d) Except pursuant to this Section 3.07 above, the Notes will not be redeemable at the
Issuers’ option prior to April 1, 2015. The Issuers will not, however, be prohibited from
acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open
market purchase or otherwise.

     (e) Any notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 may be given prior to the
redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject
to one or

48

 

more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity
Offering or other corporate transaction.

     (f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption.

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

the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

promulgated by the SEC, the Company will file with the SEC, and provide the Trustee and Holders

on the other hand.

securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be

parent company of the Company that occurs after the Issue Date; provided that the
amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other
acquisition, or dividend or distribution will not increase the amount available for
Restricted Payments under clause (2)(B)(i) of Section 4.07(a) hereof or any portion
of Incremental Funds resulting from clause (2)(B)(i) of Section 4.07(a) hereof or
clause (2) of Section 4.07(b) hereof; plus

contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) above in any single calendar year; or

     (6) the purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value
of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of options, warrants, incentives,
rights to acquire Equity Interests or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests
represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchase, repurchase,
redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of
withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of options, warrants,
incentives or rights to acquire Equity Interests;

     (7) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends or
distributions (A) with respect to preferred units of the Company outstanding on the Issue
Date or issued as an in-kind distribution pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and (B) to
holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company issued on or after the Issue Date in accordance with the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio test described under Section 4.09(a) hereof;

company of the Company, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the payment of dividends
or distributions to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock) of any direct or indirect parent company of the Company issued after the
Issue Date; provided, however, that (A) the Company would, at the time of such issuance of
Designated Preferred Stock and after giving pro forma effect to such issuance (and the
payment of dividends or distributions thereunder) as if such Restricted Payment had been
made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at
least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
forth in Section 4.09(a) and (B) the aggregate amount of
dividends declared and paid pursuant to this clause (9) does not exceed the net cash
proceeds actually received by the Company (including any such proceeds contributed to the
Company by any direct or indirect parent company of the Company) from any such sale of
Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) issued after the Issue Date;

     (10) any payments made in connection with the consummation of the offering of the

Indenture;

     (14) cash dividends or other distributions on the Company’s Capital Stock used to, or
the making of loans to any direct or indirect parent of the Company to, fund the payment of
fees and expenses owed by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries to Affiliates, to the
extent permitted by Section 4.11 hereof (other than Section 4.11(b)(6) hereof);

     (15) the payment of dividends or distributions on the Company’s common equity (or the

equity) of up to 6.0% per calendar year of the net proceeds received by the Company from any
public Equity Offering or contributed to the Company by a direct or indirect parent company
of the Company from any public Equity Offering; provided that the amount of any such net
cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause

55

 

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment

the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or
issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted
Payment. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, in the event that a
Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments
described in clauses (1) through (17) of Section 4.07(b) hereof, or is permitted pursuant to
Section 4.07(a) hereof, the Company will be entitled to classify such Restricted Payment (or
portion thereof) on the date made or later reclassify such
Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07.
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will limited partner interests of the Company issued in
kind as a distribution pursuant to the Partnership Agreement be considered to be a Restricted
Payment.

Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

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

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

Credit Facility and other Credit Facilities in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments,
restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings
of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive,
taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those
contained in those agreements on the Issue Date;

     (2) this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees (and any Additional Notes and
related guarantees under this Indenture);

     (3) applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar
restriction;

     (4) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition
(except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or
in

56

 

contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to
any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the
property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness,
such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

     (5) customary non-assignment provisions or subletting restrictions in contracts, leases
and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

     (6) purchase money obligations for property (including Capital Stock) acquired in the

property purchased or leased of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(3) hereof;

Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that restricts distributions by that Restricted
Subsidiary pending closing of the sale or other disposition;

     (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the
agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more
restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the
Indebtedness being refinanced;

     (9) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of
the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

     (10) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property or
transfer of Capital Stock in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback
agreements, stock sale agreements, limited liability company organizational documents, and
other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with
past practice or with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is
applicable only to the assets, property or Capital Stock that are the subject of such
agreements;

     (11) restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities or other deposits or
net worth imposed by customers or lessors under contracts or leases entered into in the

     (13) encumbrances on property that exist at the time the property was acquired by the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

     (14) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date and any
amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications,
renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more
restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions
than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date;

     (15) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant
to or by reason of an agreement that the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a party to or entered
into before the date on which such Unrestricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary;

57

 

provided that such agreement was not entered into in anticipation of the Unrestricted
Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction does not
extend to any assets or property of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary other
than the assets and property of such Unrestricted Subsidiary;

     (16) any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any
agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (x) the encumbrance or
restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a
financial
covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (y) the Company determines that any such
encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make
principal or interest payments on the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive;

     (17) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments or refinancings of the
contracts, instruments or obligations referred to above in clauses (1) through (16);
provided that such amendments or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as
a whole, than such encumbrances and restrictions prior to such amendment or refinancing; and

     (18) provisions with respect to the receipt of a rebate on an operating lease until all
obligations due to a lessor on other operating leases are satisfied or other customary
restrictions in respect of assets or contract rights acquired by a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction.

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity.

     (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred equity; provided,
however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified
Stock, and the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt) or issue preferred equity, if on the date thereof the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is
incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred equity is issued, as the case may be, would
have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application
of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the
Disqualified Stock or the preferred equity had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of
such four-quarter period.

     (b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the
following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

     (1) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
and letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances under Credit Facilities in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit
being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (A) $500.0
million and (B) the sum of (i) $350.0 million and (ii) 30.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets;

58

 

     (2) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
to the extent outstanding on the Issue Date;

     (3) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any
future Guarantor) of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees
to be issued on the Issue Date and the Exchange Notes and the related exchange guarantees to
be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

     (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings, industrial revenue bonds,
purchase money obligations or other Indebtedness or preferred equity, or synthetic lease
obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
purchase price or cost of design, development, construction, installation or improvement of
property (real or personal and including Capital Stock), plant or equipment used in the
business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case, whether through
the direct purchase of such assets or the Equity Interests of any Person owning such
assets), in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed the greater of (A) $40.0 million and (B)
5.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of the date of such incurrence;

     (5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew,
refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany
Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a)
hereof or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (12), (13), (15) or (16) of this Section 4.09(b);

     (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany
Indebtedness and cash management pooling obligations and arrangements between or among the
Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

     (A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the
payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and
expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then
due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuers, or the Note Guarantee, in
the case of a Guarantor; and

     (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in
any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such
Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such
Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that
was not permitted by this clause (6);

     (7) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred equity; provided, however, that:

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

59

 

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

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

     (8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging
Obligations and Bank Product Obligations other than for speculative purposes;

     (9) the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
and cash management pooling obligations and arrangements of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is
subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or
pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

     (10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in connection
with health or other types of social security benefits, unemployment or other insurance or
self-insurance obligations, reclamation, statutory obligations, bankers’ acceptances, bid,
performance, surety or similar bonds and letters of credit or completion or performance
guarantees (including without limitation, performance guarantees pursuant to supply
agreements or equipment leases), or other similar obligations in the ordinary course of
business or consistent with past practice;

     (11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check,
draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds;

     (12) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company incurred or issued to finance an acquisition or of Persons that
are acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or merged into a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
provided, however, that for any such Indebtedness outstanding under this clause (12) in
excess of $40.0 million, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew,
refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
clause (12), after giving effect to such acquisition and the incurrence of such
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred equity either:

     (A) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section
4.09(a); or

     (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be less than immediately prior to
such acquisition;

     (13) the incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of the Company of Indebtedness in an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (13), including
all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace,
defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed
10.0% of the total assets of the Foreign Subsidiaries of the Company as shown on the most
recent balance sheet of the Company;

60

 

     (14) the incurrence of Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase
price, earn outs, or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection
with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred or assumed
by any Person
acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of
financing such acquisition;

     (15) Contribution Indebtedness; and

     (16) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional
Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in an aggregate
principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) or having an aggregate liquidation
preference, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund,
refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause
(16), not to exceed the greater of (A) $40.0 million and (B) 5.0% of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets as of the date of such incurrence (it being understood that any
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity incurred pursuant to this clause (16)
shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this Section 4.09 from and
after the date on which the Company could have incurred such Indebtedness or Disqualified
Stock or preferred equity under Section 4.09(a) without reliance upon this clause (16)).

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

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of
proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity meets the criteria of more than one
of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (16) above or is entitled to
be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item
of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity on the date of its incurrence and will only
be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred
equity in one of the above clauses, although the Company may divide and classify an item of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one or more of the types of Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and may later reclassify all or a portion of such item of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity, in any manner that complies with this Section
4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the Issue Date will initially be deemed
to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the
definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization
of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred equity as Indebtedness due to a
change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred equity
in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and
unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the
application of SFAS No. 133) will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance
of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity for purposes of this Section 4.09. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any
Restricted

61

 

Subsidiary of the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be deemed to
be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

     For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency,
the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the
establishment of the facility or instrument under which such Indebtedness was incurred;
provided, however, that if such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a
Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and
interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars
will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing
Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S.
Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that (i) such U.S. Dollar
Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness
will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the
refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in
which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as appropriate, will be determined on the
date such refinancing Indebtedness is incurred.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

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

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

     (2) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received from such Asset Sale and all
other Asset Sales since the Issue Date, on a cumulative basis, by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Additional Assets, or any
combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed
to be cash:

     (A) any liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
(other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms
subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee
of

62

 

any such assets and as a result of which the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary is released from further liability;

     (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any
such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the
receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that
conversion;

     (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, taken together with the Fair Market
Value at the time of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received
pursuant to this clause (C) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously realized in
cash from prior Designated Non-cash Consideration is less than the greater of (x)
2.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible 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) and (y) $15.0 million; and

     (D) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (B), (D) or
(E) of Section 4.10(b)(1) hereof.

     (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may:

     (1) apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

     (A) to repay (w) Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility
secured by a Permitted Lien, (x) any Indebtedness that was secured by the assets
sold in such Asset Sale, (y) other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes
(provided, that in the case of this clause (y), the Issuers shall also equally and
ratably reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by making an Asset Sale Offer to all
Holders of Notes at a price payable in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to rights of
Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
payment date), or (z) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is
not a Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company; or

     (B) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock
of, another Permitted Business; provided, that in the case of any such acquisition
of Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
or

     (C) to make capital expenditures; or

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

     (E) to invest in Additional Assets or make a Permitted Investment; or

63

 

     (2) enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to clauses (B),
(C), (D) or (E) of Section 4.10(b)(1) hereof; provided that such binding commitment shall be
treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment
until the
earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated, and
(y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period.

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

     (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section
4.10(b) hereof will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” If at any time the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, or on any earlier date if the Company so elects, the Company will
make an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”) and all holders of other Indebtedness
that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this
Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets
to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and
expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be
payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose
not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other
pari passu Indebtedness tendered into (or required to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed in
connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will
select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based
on the amounts tendered or required to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of each
Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

     (d) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.10 by
virtue of such compliance.

     (e) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to
the Trustee as provided above, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as
to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset
Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such
allocation with the provisions of this Section 4.10. Upon the expiration of the period for which
the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee
for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be
accepted by the Issuers. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of
purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In
the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee is greater than the
purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Issuers
immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this
Section 4.10.

64

 

     (f) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note,
with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note duly completed, to
the Issuers at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the
purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuers
receive not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which
was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes are tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase, selection of such Notes
for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so
listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no
Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part.

     (g) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at
least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder at such Holder’s
registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that
relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be
purchased.

     (h) A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in
part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On
and after the purchase date, unless the Issuers default in payment of the purchase price, interest
shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

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

     (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the
Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a
comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated
Person; and

     (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$35.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company
approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying
that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11.

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

     (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director
indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past
practice and payments pursuant thereto;

65

 

     (2) transactions (including a merger) between or among the Company and/or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries;

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

     (4) payment of reasonable fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers,
directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
any direct or indirect parent company of the Company;

     (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to
Affiliates of the Company or to any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company
or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, and the granting and performance of
registration rights in connection therewith;

     (6) Restricted Payments and Investments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof;

     (7) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business or
consistent with past practice;

     (8) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the
case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment
banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the
requirements of clause (1) of Section 4.11(a);

     (9) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any acquisition agreements or members’
or stockholders’ agreement or related documents to which it is a party as of the Issue Date
and any amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter;
provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing
agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be
permitted by this clause (9) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement,
together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or such new agreement are not
otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes taken as a whole than the
original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

     (10) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers, joint
venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of
property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with
the terms of this Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs
and benefits associated with such transactions), materially no less favorable to the Company
or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable
transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, in the
reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or senior management of
the Company, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at
such time from an unaffiliated party;

     (11) (x) guarantees of performance by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of

66

 

Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (y) pledges of Equity Interests of
Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

     (12) if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as a holder of
Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
where such Person is treated no more favorably than the other holders of Indebtedness or
Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

     (13) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date and any
amendment, modification or replacement of such agreement (so long as such amendment or
replacement is not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company,
materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes, taken as a whole); and

     (14) payments of fees and expenses in connection with any financial advisory, financing
or other investment banking activities, including without limitation, in connection with
acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Company.

Section 4.12 Liens.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise suffer to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any
kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter
acquired, securing Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantors unless all payments due under this
Indenture and the Notes are secured on at least an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so
secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

     Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding
paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally
released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien and any other Liens that
would have triggered any Obligations pursuant to this Section 4.12.

Section 4.13 Business Activities.

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

Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of
Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase
(subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”)). Within 30 days following
any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem
the Notes in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture, the Company will mail a notice to each
Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and
stating:

67

 

     (1) that the 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;

     (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days
and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control
Payment Date”);

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

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

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

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

     (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess of $2,000;

provided that a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and
conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of
Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions
of this Section 4.14 hereof, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.14 by
virtue of such compliance.

     (b) On the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company
will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control
Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes accepted for payment.

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

     (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in a minimum principal amount of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) properly tendered pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer and not properly withdrawn; and

68

 

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

     The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of
Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount
of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

     (d) The provisions described above in this Section 4.14 that require the Company to make a
Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control are applicable whether or not any other
provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described in this Section 4.14 with respect
to a Change of Control, Holders are not permitted under this Indenture to require that the Company
repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

     (e) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any
other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described below, purchases
all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the
right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days
following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all
Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the
applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control
Payment, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant interest payment date).

     (f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and purchases all
Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of
redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in
payment of the applicable redemption price.

     (g) The Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to this Section 4.14
may be waived or modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.

Section 4.15 Additional Note Guarantees.

     If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic
Subsidiary of the Company, after the Issue Date, then that newly acquired or created Domestic
Subsidiary, if such Domestic Subsidiary guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company for borrowed
money (other than intercompany debt), will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture
and deliver an Opinion of Counsel who is satisfactory to the Trustee within 30 days of the date on
which it was acquired or created. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit D
hereto.

69

 

Section 4.16 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

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

     Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced
to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying
that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07
hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for
purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted
to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in default of such
covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be
deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any
outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be
permitted if (1) (x) the Company could incur such Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio test described under Section 4.09(a) hereof, or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma
basis taking into account such designation; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in
existence following such designation.

Section 4.17 Changes in Covenants upon Notes being Rated Investment Grade.

     During any period of time and beginning on the day that (a) the Notes have an Investment Grade
Rating and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture,
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants contained in
Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13 and 4.16 hereof, and clause (4) of Section 5.01 shall
terminate. During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Company’s Board
of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to
Section 4.16 hereof.

     If the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to these covenants for any
period of time as a result of the previous paragraph (a “Fall-Away Period”) and, subsequently, the
ratings assigned to the Notes are withdrawn or downgraded so the Notes no longer have an Investment
Grade Rating then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to
these covenants. The ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make Restricted
Payments after the time of such withdrawal or downgrade will be calculated as if Section 4.07
hereof had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the continued existence after the end of the Fall-Away Period of facts and
circumstances or obligations arising from transactions that occurred

70

 

during a Fall-Away Period shall not constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause an Event of
Default hereunder.

Section 4.18 Restrictions on Activities of the Co-Issuer.

     The Co-Issuer will not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations or
engage in any significant business activities; provided that the Co-Issuer may be a co-obligor with
respect to Indebtedness if the Company is a primary obligor of such Indebtedness and the net
proceeds of such Indebtedness are received by the Company or one or more of the Company’s
Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer).

ARTICLE 5

SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01 Consolidation, Amalgamation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.

     The Company will not, directly or indirectly: (i) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or
into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity); or (ii) sell, assign,
transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or
assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in one
or more related transactions to another Person, unless:

     (1) either:

     (A) the Company is the surviving entity; or

     (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability
company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the
United States or the District of Columbia; and, if such entity is not a corporation,
a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation organized or existing under any such
laws;

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

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

     (4) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro
forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at
the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00
of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in
Section 4.09(a) hereof; or (B) have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the successor
entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries not less than the actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction.

71

 

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

     This Section 5.01 will not apply to any consolidation, amalgamation, merger, or any sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company
and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. Clauses (3) and (4) of this Section 5.01 will not apply to
any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company (1) with or into one of its Restricted
Subsidiaries for any purpose or (2) with or into an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose
of reincorporating the Company under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States
or the District of Columbia.

Section 5.02 Successor Substituted.

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

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

     Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

     (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest, or Additional Interest, if
any, with respect to, the Notes;

     (2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the
principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

     (3) failure by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days
(or 180 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after notice to the Company by the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture;

     (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued
or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary of the

72

 

Company, or any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by
the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or
Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date (but excluding Indebtedness owing
to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), if that default:

     (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness following the Stated
Maturity of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

     (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated
Maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together

a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0
million or more;

     (5) failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a

of 60 days;

     (6) any Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant

     (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or

Law that:

     (A) is for relief against any Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the

Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or any
group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary of the Company, is held in any judicial proceeding to be
unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect (other than
in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and this Indenture), or any Guarantor,
or any Person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations
under its Note Guarantee and such Default continues for ten days.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

     In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 hereof, with
respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be
due and payable immediately.

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

     In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01, such Event of
Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting Payment Default on the
Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee
or the Holders of Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers
an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the
basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the Holders thereof have rescinded or
waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default
or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood
that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be
annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

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, interest or Additional Interest, if any on
the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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.

74

 

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written
notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or
waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or
Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes. Upon any such rescission or waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

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

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

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

75

 

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10 Priorities.

     If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, or, after an Event of Default,
any money or other property distributable in respect of the Issuers’ obligations under this
Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

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

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

76

 

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

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable and
documented attorneys’ fees and expenses against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard
to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section
6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof,
or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

     (2) 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, with respect to certificates or opinions specifically required by any
provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee will 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:

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

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

in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.04 and
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) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
incur any liability.

     (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the

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

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits

Officer’s name appears on the certificate described in Section 7.02(k).

it by this Indenture at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder has offered to the
Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

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.

     (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has 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.

authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

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

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee will mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after
it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium
or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if
and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     (a) Within 60 days after each July 1 beginning with the July 1 following the date of this
Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders a
brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event
described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report
need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also
transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

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

79

 

are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

     (a) The Issuers will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time
to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers will reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable and documented disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or
made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the
reasonable and documented compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel.

     (b) The Issuers and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee against
any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers and
the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any
such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuers promptly of any claim of which a Responsible
Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Issuers will not relieve the Issuers or any of the Guarantors of their obligations
hereunder. The Issuers or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in
the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Guarantors, as
applicable, will pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel provided,
however that the Issuers and any Guarantor shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if
it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment,
there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such
parties in connection with such defense or if the subject matter will not adversely affect the
business of the indemnified parties. Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor need pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

     (c) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and
the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

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

     (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     (f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

80

 

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of

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

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

     (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     (c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for
any reason, the Issuers will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the

outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Issuers.

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

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

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

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

     If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act will
be the successor Trustee. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by
the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt

81

 

such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with
the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

     There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

     This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1),
(2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuers.

     The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein.

Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for
the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that,
with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company, the Co-Issuer and the
Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such
covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will
be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

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

     (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers must deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel who is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (subject to
customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that:

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

83

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

84

 

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

Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuers.

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

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

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

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders.

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

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

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

85

 

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

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

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

     (6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guaranttes or the Notes to any
provision of the “Description of notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent
that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation
of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes;

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

     (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee
with respect to the Notes and to release any Guarantor from a Note Guarantee in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture.

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

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the
Issuers will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

     Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof)
and the Notes or the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, Additional
Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to
Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or
interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been
rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single
class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender
offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are
considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

86

 

     Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards 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 as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee will join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may
in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

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

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

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

     (2) reduce the principal of or extend the fixed maturity of any Note;

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

     (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if
any, interest or Additional Interest, 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 then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from
such acceleration);

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

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

     (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (for the avoidance of doubt, a
payment required by Sections 4.10 or 4.14 hereof is not a redemption payment);

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

     (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions or the provision
of this clause (9).

87

 

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

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

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

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

     (1) the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Interest, 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 Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or

88

 

thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

     (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise.

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

     (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, 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 either Issuer, any right to require
a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant
that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

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

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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

89

 

Guarantor under this Article 10, result in
the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Intentionally Omitted.

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

     Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.04, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into
(whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company,
the Co-Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

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

     (2) either:

     (A) such Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person acquiring the property
in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this
Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement on the terms set
forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee; or

     (B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale or conveyance and upon the
assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same
effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to
be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder
which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the
Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.

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

Section 10.05 Releases.

     The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

     (1) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation) to
a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company
or a

90

 

Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not violate Section 4.10 hereof;

     (2) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of Capital Stock of that
Guarantor after which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not violate Section 4.10 hereof;

     (3) if the Company designates any Material Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to
be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture;

     (4) upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof; or

     (5) upon the release of such Guarantor’s guarantee of, and other Obligations with
respect to, all other Indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money (other than
intercompany debt).

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

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

     (1) either:

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

     (B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or
otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or may be called for
redemption within one year and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely
for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government
Securities, in 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 of, premium on, if any,
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to the date of maturity or
redemption;

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

91

 

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

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

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of
Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing
in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by
their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and
interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

7.75% Senior Notes due 2019

[Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture]

[Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture]

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

     (1) INTEREST. Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Company”), and Crestwood Midstream Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Co-Issuer” and, together, with the Company, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 7.75% per annum from April 1, 2011 until maturity and shall
pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 4 of the Registration
Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers will pay interest and Additional Interest,
if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such day
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from April 1, 2011 until the principal hereof is
due. The first Interest Payment Date shall be October 1, 2011. The Issuers will pay
interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the
close of business on the March 15 or September 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date,
even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest
Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes (including principal,
premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The
Issuers will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal,
premium, if any, and interest), at the office of each Paying Agent, except that, at the
option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered
address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be
made in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by
wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United
States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or a Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days
immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee
may accept in its discretion). Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

     (3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers
may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any
of the Company’s Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

     (4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 1,
2011 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the

A-3

 

Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by
reference to the TIA. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all the terms and
provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the
express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.

     The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers. This Note is one of the
Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes, any
Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional
Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange
Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture
imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay
dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions
upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries,
issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter
into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset
sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuers and each
Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease
all or substantially all of its property.

     To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes
and all other amounts payable by the Issuers under the Indenture and the Notes when and as
the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Obligations of the Issuers under the Notes on a
senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

     (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

     (A) On any one or more occasions prior to April 1, 2014, the Issuers may redeem
up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture

equal to 107.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but not including, the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders 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:

     (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally
issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuers and the
Company’s Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence
of such redemption; and

     (ii) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing
of such Equity Offering.

     (B) On any one or more occasions after April 1, 2015, the Issuers may redeem
all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at
the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes
redeemed to, but

not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month
period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below (subject to the rights of
Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant

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

     (C) On any one of more occasions prior to April 1, 2015, the Issuers may also
redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus the
Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,

(subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date).

     (D) Except pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, the Notes will not be
redeemable at the Issuers’ option prior to April 1, 2015. The Issuers will not,
however, be prohibited from acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption,
whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise.

     (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuers will not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

     (7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at
least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be

of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger
than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of
$2,000.

“Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder’s Notes
at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the
Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the rights
of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
