     2. REGISTRATION.

          a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall use best efforts to keep the
Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and
available for sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of (i) the
date as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the
date on which the Investors shall have sold all the Registrable Securities under the Purchase
Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or
supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

          b. Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities
regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the
Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with
sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investors and their
counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its
filing with the SEC. The Investors shall use their reasonable best efforts to comment upon such
prospectus within one (1) Trading Day from the date the Investors receive the final version of such
prospectus.

          c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares
available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement
(a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as
practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Trading Days after the necessity therefor
arises. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. The Investors
and their counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any such amendment
and/or New Registration Statement prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investors shall use their
reasonable best efforts to comment upon any such amendment and/or New Registration Statement

 

 

within two (2) Trading Days from the date the Investors receive the final version of any such
amendment and/or New Registration Statement.

     3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

     With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be
registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the
following obligations:

          a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such
period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth
in such registration statement.

          b. The Company shall permit the Investors to review and comment upon the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two
(2) Trading Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which
Investors reasonably object. The Investors shall use their reasonable best efforts to comment upon
the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements
thereto within two (2) Trading Days from the date all the Investors receive the final version
thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investors, without charge any correspondence from the
SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement.

          c. The Company shall furnish to the Investors, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and
all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, at least one copy of the
prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or
such other number of copies as the Investors may reasonably request) and (iii) such other
documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investors may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by the Investors.

          d. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by a registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of
such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investors reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file
in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to
such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof
during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for
sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investors who holds Registrable Securities of
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration
or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky”
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

 

          e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall
notify the Investors in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a
result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration
statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver at least one copy of such
supplement or amendment to the Investors (or such other number of copies as the Investors may
reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investors in writing (i) when a
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a
registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investors by facsimile on the same day of such
effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements
to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the
Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement
would be appropriate.

          f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible
moment and to notify the Investors of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its
receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities
exchange or trading system on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company
are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the
rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities
on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying
its obligation under this Section.

          h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any
registration statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the
Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

          i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its
Common Stock.

          j. If reasonably requested by the Investors, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in
a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investors believe
should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities
being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the
Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration
statement.

          k. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
covered by any registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

          l. Within one (1) Trading Day after any registration statement which includes the Registrable
Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal
counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with
copies to the Investors) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective
by the SEC substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

 

          m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Investors
to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
registration statement.

     4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.

          a. The Company shall notify the Investors in writing of the information the Company reasonably
requires from the Investors in connection with any registration statement hereunder. The Investors
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held
by the Investors and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as
shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

          b. The Investors agree to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement hereunder.

          c. The Investors agree that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of
3(e), the Investors will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly
deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the
Investors have entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investors’ receipt of a notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investors have not yet settled.

     5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions and legal fees and disbursements
of counsel to the Investors, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, shall be paid by the Company.

     6. INDEMNIFICATION

     a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Investors, each Person, if any, who controls an Investor, the respective
members, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investors and
each Person, if any, who controls an Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs,
attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”)
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding,
investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether
or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of
them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification
of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which
Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement

 

 

of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of
such registration statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii)
any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation
thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation of this Agreement (the
matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company
shall, subject to Section 6(d) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal fees or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained
in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant
to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure
to the benefit of any Indemnified Person from whom the person asserting a Claim purchased the
Registrable Securities that are offered for sale by the preliminary prospectus (or to the benefit
of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact
contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c)
or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the
incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person,
notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is
based on a failure of the Investors to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made
available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to
Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim
if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive
the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

          b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the
Investors shall, and hereby do, indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the
same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
(collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim
or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Investors expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section
6(d), the Investors will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained
in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

          c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or
proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a

 

 

written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying
party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying
party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying
party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written
consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or
condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which
indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying
party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except
to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

          d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
Indemnified Damages are incurred.

          e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action
or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or
others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

     7. CONTRIBUTION.

          To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law,
the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for
which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable
Securities.

     8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

          With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit
the Investors to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
the Company agrees to:

          a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144;

 

 

          b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to
such requirements and the filing of such reports; and

          c. furnish to the Investors so long as the Investors own Registrable Securities, promptly upon
request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with any applicable reporting
and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so
filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the
Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

     9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Investors, including by merger or consolidation. The Investors may
not assign their rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than
to an affiliate.

     10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Investors.

     11. MISCELLANEOUS.

     a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is
deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

          b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:
(i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party); or (iii) one (1) Trading Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses
and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

furnished.

          SECTION 2.07 Transfer and Exchange.

          Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Senior Notes are presented to the Registrar with a
request from the Holder of such Senior Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an
equal principal amount of Senior Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall
register the transfer as requested. Every Senior Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company shall issue and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate new Senior Notes evidencing such
transfer or exchange at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to the Holder for
any registration of transfer or exchange. The Company may require from the Holder payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section
2.11, 3.06, 4.08, 4.12 or 8.05 (in which events the Company shall be responsible for the payment of
such taxes). The Registrar shall not

37

 

be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Senior Subordinated Note for a period of
15 days immediately preceding the redemption of Senior Subordinated Notes, except the unredeemed
portion of any Senior Subordinated Note being redeemed in part.

          Any Holder of the Global Senior Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Senior Note, agree
that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Senior Note may be effected only through
a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Senior Note (or its agent), and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Senior Note shall be required to be reflected in a
book entry.

          Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any duty
to monitor the Company’s compliance with or have any responsibility with respect to the Company’s
compliance with any Federal or state securities laws.

          SECTION 2.08 Replacement Senior Notes.

          If a mutilated Senior Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of
a Senior Note claims that the Senior Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Senior Note if the Holder of such
Senior Note furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the
ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Senior Note and if the requirements of Section
8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met.
If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the
judgment of all to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of
them may suffer if such Senior Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the
Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Senior Note and the Trustee may
charge the Company for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) in replacing such Senior Note. Every replacement Senior Note shall constitute a
contractual obligation of the Company.

          SECTION 2.09 Outstanding Senior Notes.

          The Senior Notes outstanding at any time are all Senior Notes that have been authenticated by
the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to
the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set
forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied, those Senior Notes theretofore authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding.
Subject to Section 2.10, a Senior Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one
of its Affiliates holds the Senior Note.

          If a Senior Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Senior Note is held by a bona fide
purchaser in whose hands such Senior Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

          If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, money sufficient to
pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Senior Notes payable on that date and is
not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the

38

 

terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Senior Notes cease to be outstanding
and interest on them ceases to accrue.

          SECTION 2.10 Treasury Notes.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Senior Notes have
concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent
or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Senior Notes owned by the Company
or any other Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding,
except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this
Indenture, only Senior Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received
an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Senior Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Senior Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee
established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the
Senior Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Senior Notes or
any of their respective Affiliates.

          SECTION 2.11 Temporary Senior Notes.

          Until definitive Senior Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and
the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Senior Notes. Temporary Senior Notes shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Senior Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Senior Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Senior Notes in exchange for temporary Senior
Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Senior Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits
and privileges as definitive Senior Notes.

          SECTION 2.12 Cancellation.

          The Company at any time may deliver Senior Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Senior Notes surrendered to them
for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Senior Notes
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall
deliver such canceled Senior Notes to the Company. The Company may not reissue or resell, or issue
new Senior Notes to replace, Senior Notes that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          SECTION 2.13 Defaulted Interest.

          If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on the Senior Notes, it shall pay the
defaulted interest, plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent
special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The
Company shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the
Trustee. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder a
notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest,
and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Company may make payment

39

 

of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
(if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Senior Notes may be listed and, upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

          SECTION 2.14 CUSIP Number.

          The Company in issuing the Senior Notes may use a “CUSIP” number, and if so, such CUSIP number
shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that
any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the
CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Senior Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Senior Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any such CUSIP number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Senior
Notes and of any change in the CUSIP number.

          SECTION 2.15 Deposit of Moneys.

          Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the
Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient
to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may
be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Senior
Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered
owner and the sole Holder of the Global Senior Notes represented thereby. The principal and
interest on Physical Senior Notes shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of
the Paying Agent.

          SECTION 2.16 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Senior Notes.

          (a)    Rule 144A Senior Notes shall be represented by one or more Senior Notes in registered,
global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Restricted Global Senior Note”).
Regulation S Senior Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Senior Notes in registered,
global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Senior Note,” and,
together with the Restricted Global Senior Note and any other global notes representing Senior
Notes, the “Global Senior Notes”). The Global Senior Notes shall bear legends as set forth in
Exhibit D. The Global Senior Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository
or the nominee of such Depository, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member (or, in
the case of the Regulation S Global Senior Notes, of Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream
Banking Luxembourg (“Clearstream”)), (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such
Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit B with respect to Restricted Global
Senior Notes and Exhibit C with respect to Regulation S Global Senior Notes.

          Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have
no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Senior Note held

40

 

on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Senior
Notes, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Senior Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent
of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization (which may be in electronic form) furnished by the Depository or impair, as between
the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise
of the rights of a Holder of any Senior Note.

          (b)    Transfers of Global Senior Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in
part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial
owners in the Global Senior Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Senior Notes in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.17. In
addition, a Global Senior Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Senior Notes if (i) the
Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for
such Global Senior Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act, and, with respect to (x) or (y), the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depository
within 90 days of such notice or cessation, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee
in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of such Physical Senior Notes in exchange for any
or all of the Senior Notes represented by the Global Senior Notes or (iii) there shall have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes. In all cases,
Physical Senior Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Senior Note or beneficial interests
therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or
on behalf of the Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures).

          (c)    In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in
any Global Senior Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one
or more Physical Senior Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of the Global Senior Note in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Senior Note to be transferred, and the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order from the Company authenticate
and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Senior Notes of like tenor and amount.

          (d)    In connection with the transfer of Global Senior Notes as an entirety to beneficial
owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Senior Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its
beneficial interest in the Global Senior Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical
Senior Notes of authorized denominations.

          (e)    Any Physical Senior Note constituting a Restricted Senior Note delivered in exchange
for an interest in a Global Senior Note pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (d) shall, except as
otherwise provided by paragraph (c) of Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend or, in the
case of the Regulation S Global Senior Note, the legend set forth in Exhibit C, in each case,
unless the Company determine otherwise in compliance with applicable law.

41

 

          (f)    Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Senior Notes that is transferred to a
Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Senior Note shall, upon
transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Senior Note and become an interest in such other
Global Senior Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and
other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Senior Note for as long as
it remains such an interest.

          (g)    The Holder of any Global Senior Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take
any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Senior Notes.

          SECTION 2.17 Special Transfer Provisions.

          (a)    Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the
registration or any proposed registration of transfer of a Senior Note constituting a Restricted
Senior Note to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

     (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by
a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on such Holder’s Senior
Note stating, or to a transferee who has advised the Company and the Registrar in
writing, that it is purchasing the Senior Note for its own account or an account
with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any
such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to
it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such
information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has
determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor
is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144A; and

     (ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Senior Notes to be
transferred consist of Physical Senior Notes which after transfer are to be
evidenced by an interest in the Global Senior Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of
instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the Registrar’s
procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an
increase in the principal amount of the Global Senior Note in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the Physical Senior Notes to be transferred, and the Trustee
shall cancel the Physical Senior Notes so transferred.

          (b)    Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors and Non-U.S. Persons. The
following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a
Senior Note constituting a Restricted Senior Note to any Institutional Accredited Investor which is
not a QIB or to any Non-U.S. Person:

     (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Senior Note constituting a
Restricted Senior Note whether or not such Senior Note bears the Private Placement
Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the second

42

 

anniversary of the Issue Date (provided, however, that neither the Company nor
any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial interest in such Senior Note,
or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of the Issue
Date) or (y)(1) in the case of a transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor
which is not a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons), the proposed transferee has
delivered to the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F
hereto and any legal opinions and certifications required thereby or (2) in the case
of a transfer to a Non-U.S. Person, the proposed transferor has delivered to the
Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto; and

     (ii) if the proposed transferor is a Participant holding a beneficial interest
in the Global Senior Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the certificate, if
any, required by Section 2.17(b)(i) and (y) written instructions given in accordance
with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures; whereupon (a) the Registrar
shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not
involve a transfer of outstanding Physical Senior Notes) a decrease in the principal
amount of such Global Senior Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Global Senior Note to be transferred and (b) the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical
Senior Notes of like tenor and amount; and

     (iii) in the case of a transfer to a Non-U.S. Person, if the proposed
transferee is a Participant, and the Senior Notes to be transferred consist of
Physical Senior Notes which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in a
Regulation S Global Senior Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of written
instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s
procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an
increase in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Senior Note in an
amount equal to the principal amount of Physical Senior Notes to be transferred, and
the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Senior Notes so transferred.

          (c)    Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of
Senior Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Senior Notes
that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or
replacement of Senior Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only
Senior Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Registrar
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that
neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain
compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such Senior Note has been sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Registrar has
received an Officers’ Certificate from the Company to such effect or (iii) the requested transfer
is after the second anniversary of the Issue Date (provided, however, that neither the Company nor
an Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial interest in such Senior Note or portion thereof
at any time since the Issue Date).

          (d)    On or prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the
Senior Notes represented by the Regulation S Global Senior Note and the issue

43

 

date of such Senior Note (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted
Period”), a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Senior Note may be transferred to a Person
who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding Restricted Global Senior Note
only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that
such transfer is being made (i)(a) to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB
that is purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act which is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel regarding the availability
of such exemption and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the
United States or any other jurisdiction.

          (e)    Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Senior Note may be transferred to a
Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Senior Note,
whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first
delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that such transfer is being made in
accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available).

          (f)    General. By its acceptance of any Senior Note bearing the Private Placement Legend,
each Holder of such Senior Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Senior Note set
forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such
Senior Note only as provided in this Indenture.

Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture:

     (i) no Exchange Notes may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for a Senior Note

          The Registrar shall retain for a period of two years copies of all letters, notices and other
written communications received pursuant to Section 2.16 or this Section 2.17. The Company shall
have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written
communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Senior Notes to be redeemed and
the redemption price, and deliver to the Trustee, no later than two Business Days prior to the

Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.01 may not be revoked after the time that notice is given to
Holders pursuant to Section 3.03.

          SECTION 3.02 Selection by Trustee of Senior Notes To Be Redeemed.

          The Trustee shall select the Senior Notes to be redeemed, if the Senior Notes are then listed
on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the rules of such exchange or, if the Senior
Notes are not so listed, either on a pro rata basis or by lot, or such other method as the Trustee
in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that, in the case of a redemption
pursuant to paragraph 5 and 6 of the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall select the Senior Notes only
on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures of
the Depository). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the Senior Notes selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Senior Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal
amount of the Senior Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. Senior Notes and portions
thereof the Trustee selects shall be redeemed in principal amounts of $2,000 or larger integral
multiples of $1,000. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Senior Notes called for redemption also apply to
portions of Senior Notes called for redemption. In the event the Company is requested to make a
Change of Control Offer or Offer to Purchase and the amounts available for any such offer is not
evenly divisible by $1,000, the Trustee shall promptly refund to the Company any remaining funds,
which in no event shall exceed $1,000.

          SECTION 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

          At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail,
or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Senior Notes to
be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the
Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04.

45

 

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

     (A)    the Redemption Date;

     (B)    the appropriate calculation of the redemption price;

     (C)    if fewer than all outstanding Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the portion of

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

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

     (F)    that unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on
Senior Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

     (G)    which subsection of paragraph 5 of the Senior Notes is the provision of the
Senior Notes pursuant to which the redemption is occurring; and

     (H)    the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that are being redeemed.

          At the Company’s written request made at least five Business Days prior to the date on which
notice is to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at
the Company’s sole expense.

          SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

          Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is mailed, Senior Notes called for
redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, including any
premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such
Senior Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to
the Redemption Date; provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or
prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the
redeemed Senior Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a
Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.
Such notice, if mailed in the manner provided in Section 3.03, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

46

 

          SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

          On or prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Senior Notes to be redeemed on
that date other than Senior Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have

          On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of,
including premium, if any, and accrued interest on Senior Notes called for redemption shall have
been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Senior Notes called
for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Senior Notes
will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the first proviso in Section
3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Senior Notes to the Redemption Date. If any Senior Note
surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date
until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Senior Note and any interest
not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the
Senior Notes.

          SECTION 3.06 Senior Notes Redeemed in Part.

          Upon surrender of a Senior Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Senior Note equal in principal amount to
the unredeemed portion of the original Senior Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of
the original Senior Note surrendered, except that if a Global Senior Note is so surrendered, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depository, a new
Global Senior Note in denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Global Senior Note so surrendered.

          SECTION 3.07 Sinking Fund.

affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Senior Notes may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Senior Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Senior Notes and this Indenture
may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain
any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoint the Trustee as their agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Senior Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

          The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or
agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04.

          SECTION 4.03 Legal Existence.

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

          SECTION 4.04 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance; Compliance with Law.

          (a)    The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, at all times
cause all material properties used or useful in the conduct of their respective businesses to be
maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonable wear and tear excepted)
and supplied with all necessary equipment, and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto; provided, however, that

48

 

nothing in this Section 4.04(a) shall prevent the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of such material properties if
such discontinuance is, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders.

          (b)    The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep at all
times all of their material properties which are of an insurable nature insured against such loss
or damage with insurers believed by the Company to be responsible to the extent that Property of a
similar character is usually so insured by corporations similarly situated and owning like
Properties in accordance with good business practice. The Company shall, and shall cause each of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds from any such insurance policy to repair, replace
or otherwise restore the Property to which such proceeds relate.

          (c)    The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with
all statutes, laws, ordinances or government rules and regulations to which they are subject,
non-compliance with which would materially adversely affect the business, financial condition or
results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          SECTION 4.05 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

          The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time
insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise) or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law which may affect
the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that they may lawfully do
so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

          SECTION 4.06 Compliance Certificate.

          (a)    The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate, one of the signers of which shall be the principal
executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company,
stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of Section 5.01 or Sections 4.01 to 4.17, inclusive, and if the Company shall be in
default, specifying all such defaults, the nature and status thereof of which they may have
knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Such
determination shall be made without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace.

          (b)    The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event no later
than 10 Business Days after the Company becomes aware or should reasonably become aware of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time
or both, would constitute a Default or Event of Default, an Officers’

49

 

Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default, and the action
which the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect to such Default or Event of Default.

          (c)    The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year, a written statement by the Company’s independent public accountants stating whether, in
connection with their audit of the Company’s financial statements, any event which would constitute
an Event of Default as defined herein insofar as they relate to accounting matters has come to
their attention and, if such an Event of Default has come to their attention, specifying the nature
and period of the existence thereof.

          SECTION 4.07 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

          The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or
cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all material taxes,
assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or upon the income, profits or Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (2) all
material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a
lien upon the Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings.

          SECTION 4.08 Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control.

          (a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Senior Notes will have the
right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or any larger integral
multiple of $1,000) of such Holder’s Senior Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the
“Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date
(the “Change of Control Purchase Price”)); provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence
of a Change of Control, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase the Senior Notes pursuant to
this Section 4.08 in the event that it has mailed the notice to exercise its right to redeem all
the Senior Notes under Section 3.01 at any time prior to the requirement to consummate the Change
of Control and redeem the Senior Notes in accordance with such notice.

          (b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control, or, at the Company’s option, prior to
the consummation of such Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, the Company shall
send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Senior Notes, at such
Holder’s address appearing in the Senior Note register, a notice stating:

     (A)    that a Change of Control has occurred or will occur and a Change of Control
Offer is being made pursuant to Section 4.08 and that all Senior Notes timely tendered and
not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

     (B)    the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”), which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of

50

 

applicable law, a Business Day and a point in time occurring after the consummation of
the Change of Control and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed;

     (C)    the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control; and

     (D)    if the notice is mailed prior to a Change of Control, that the Change of Control
Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control occurring; and

     (E)    the procedures that Holders of Senior Notes must follow in order to tender their
Senior Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that Holders of Senior
Notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Senior Notes (or portions
thereof) for payment.

          Holders electing to have a Senior Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Senior
Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent at the address specified
in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders
shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives, not later than
one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Senior
Note that was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing
its election to have such Senior Note purchased.

          (c)    On or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall irrevocably
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the Change of
Control Purchase Price payable to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.08(c). On the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Senior Notes or portions thereof that have been properly
tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company for payment.

          (d)    The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Change of Control Payment Date, mail or
deliver payment to each tendering Holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price. In the event that
the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Company to
the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver
the excess to the Company immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date.

          (e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of
Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes an offer to purchase (an “Alternate
Offer”), in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in
this Section 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control made by the Company, and purchases all Senior
Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer.

          (f)    The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section
14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection
with the repurchase of Senior Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, including any applicable
securities laws of the United States. To the extent that the provisions of any

51

 

securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company
shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of such compliance with these securities
laws or regulations.

          SECTION 4.09 Limitation on Debt.

          (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any
Debt; provided, however, that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Debt and
Acquired Debt if, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the application of the
proceeds therefrom, the Leverage Ratio of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (on a
consolidated basis) would not exceed 7.25 to 1.0.

          (b)    Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, any or all of the following Debt
(collectively, “Permitted Debt”) may be Incurred:

     (1) Debt under the Subsidiary Credit Facilities and Guarantees of such Debt by the
Company, in the case of the RHDI Credit Facility, and the other guarantors under the

(and, in the case of any revolving subfacility thereunder, permanent commitment reductions)
with Net Available Cash from Asset Sales;

     (2) the Senior Notes (excluding any Additional Senior Notes) and any Exchange Notes
issued in exchange for the Senior Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

acquired, constructed or leased, and

     (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Incurred and then outstanding
pursuant to this clause (3) (together with all Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred
and then outstanding in respect of Debt previously Incurred pursuant to this clause
(3)) does not exceed $150 million;

     (4) Debt of the Company owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Debt of a
Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;
provided, however, that (1) any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event
that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any
subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary)
shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Debt by the issuer
thereof not permitted by this clause (4) and (2) such Debt shall be

52

 

expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations under
the Senior Notes;

     (5) Debt under Interest Rate Agreements entered into by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary for the purpose of limiting interest rate risk in the ordinary course of the
financial management of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and not for speculative

     (6) Debt under Currency Exchange Protection Agreements entered into by the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of limiting currency exchange rate risks directly
related to transactions entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the

Subsidiary, including letters of credit or similar instruments pursuant to self-insurance
and workers’ compensation obligations; provided that upon the drawing of such letters of
credit or other instrument, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such
drawing; provided, further, that with respect to clauses (1) and (2), such Debt is not in
connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit;

     (9) Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising from the honoring by a
bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently
drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Debt
is extinguished within five Business Days of Incurrence of such Debt;

     (10) Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising from agreements for
indemnification and purchase price adjustment obligations Incurred or assumed in connection
with any acquisition or disposition of any assets including Capital Stock; provided that the

53

 

     (11) Debt Incurred by a Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified
Securitization Transaction that is Non-Recourse Debt with respect to the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in the event such Securitization Entity
ceases to qualify as a Securitization Entity or such Debt ceases to constitute such
Non-Recourse Debt, such Debt will be deemed, in each case, to be Incurred at such time;

     (12) Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consisting of a guarantee of or a
Lien securing Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Debt
constitutes Debt that is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09, but subject
to compliance with the other provisions described under Article Four;

     (13) Debt in respect of netting services, overdraft protection and otherwise in
connection with deposit accounts; provided that such Debt remains outstanding for five
Business Days or less;

     (15) Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the Issue Date and
not otherwise described in clauses (1) through (14) above;

Stock in a principal amount or liquidation value, as applicable, outstanding at any one time
not to exceed $400 million in the aggregate for all such Debt and Disqualified Stock.

          For the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item
of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt permitted by this covenant or is
entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company in its sole discretion shall be
permitted to classify on the date of its Incurrence, or later reclassify, all or a portion of such
item of Debt in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.

          Debt permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision
permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more
other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Debt.

          For the purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.09, (a)
guarantees, Liens, obligations with respect to letters of credit and other obligations supporting
Debt otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount will not be included and (b)
any Liens granted to the Holders of the Senior Notes that are permitted in Section 4.11 will not be
treated as Debt.

          For purposes of determining compliance with any dollar-denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Debt, with respect to any Debt which is denominated in a foreign currency,

54

 

the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Debt Incurred pursuant thereto shall be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Debt was
incurred, and any such foreign denominated Debt may be refinanced or replaced or subsequently
refinanced or replaced in an amount equal to the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Debt on
the date of such refinancing or replacement whether or not such amount is greater or less than the
dollar equivalent principal amount of the Debt on the date of initial Incurrence.

          If obligations in respect of letters of credit are incurred pursuant to the Credit Facilities
and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph of this Section
4.09 and the letters of credit relate to other Debt then such other Debt shall be deemed not
Incurred.

          SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

          (a)    The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, any

     (2) the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section
4.09(a) or

     (3) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments
declared or made since December 3, 2002 (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other
than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value) would exceed an amount equal to the sum
of:

     (i) 100% of EBITDA accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (treated as
one accounting period) from October 1, 2002 to the end of the most recent fiscal
quarter ended prior to the date of such proposed Restricted Payment for which
financial statements are available and have been either filed with the Commission or
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.16 (or if the aggregate amount of EBITDA for
such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) less 1.4 times
Consolidated Interest Expense, plus

     (ii) 100% of Capital Stock Sale Proceeds and cash capital contributions to the
Company, plus (without duplication)

     (iii) the sum of:

(A) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after December 3, 2002 of convertible or
exchangeable Debt or Disqualified Stock that has been converted into or exchanged
for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company, and

55

 

(B) the aggregate amount by which Debt (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet on or after December 3, 2002 upon the conversion or exchange of any

for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company, together with, in
the cases of both (A) and (B), the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the
Company at the time of such conversion or exchange, but excluding, in the case of
clause (A) or (B): (x) any such Debt issued or sold to the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of its employees and
(y) the aggregate amount of any cash or other Property distributed by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or exchange, plus (without
duplication)

     (iv) an amount equal to the sum of:

(A) the net reduction in Investments in any Person other than the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances or
other transfers of Property or any other disposition or repayment of such
Investments, in each case to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from any
Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), less the cost of the
disposition of such Investments, and

(B) the Fair Market Value of the Investment of the Company and any Restricted
Subsidiary in an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is
designated a Restricted Subsidiary;

provided, however, that the foregoing sum described in this Section 4.10(a)(3)(iv)
shall not exceed the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a
Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company may:

     (1) pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the declaration thereof if, on

warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock (other than any such Capital Stock
(or options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock) issued or sold to a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan or trust
established by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit

56

 

of its employees and except to the extent that any purchase made pursuant to such
issuance or sale is financed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) or a capital
contribution to the Company; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption,
legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall not be included in the calculation of the
amount of Restricted Payments and the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from such exchange or sale
shall not be included in the calculation pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(3)(ii) above;

     (3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value any

that the aggregate amount of such repurchases and other acquisitions shall not exceed $20

“key-man” life insurance (any such amounts not used in a calendar year shall be available
for use in any subsequent year); provided, further, that such repurchase and other
acquisition shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments and
the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from such sales shall not be included in the calculation
pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(3)(ii) or Section 4.10(b)(2) above;

     (6) make cash payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in connection with the

continuing immediately after making such Restricted Payment; provided, further, that such
payments shall be excluded in the calculation of Restricted Payments;

     (11) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
pay cash dividends on the Company’s common stock or equivalent in an amount not to exceed a
Dividend Yield of 3% (for the avoidance of doubt, such dividend shall be included in the
calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments); and

     (12) repurchase or redeem preferred stock purchase rights issued in connection with any
shareholders rights plan of the Company.

58

 

          The amount of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be equal to the Fair Market
Value thereof at the date of making such Restricted Payment.

          SECTION 4.11 Limitation on Liens.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur or suffer to
exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its Property (including Capital Stock of a
Restricted Subsidiary and intercompany notes), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter
acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom that secures Debt, unless

     (1) in the case of a Lien securing Subordinated Obligations, the Senior Notes are
secured by a Lien on such Property or such interest therein or such income or profits
therefrom that is senior in priority to the Lien securing such Subordinated Obligations for
so long as such Subordinated Obligations are so secured; and

     (2) in all other cases, the Senior Notes are equally and ratably secured by a Lien on
such Property or such interest therein or profits therefrom for so long as such Debt is so
secured.

          SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Asset Sales.

          (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate
any Asset Sale unless:

     (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of
such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Property subject to such
Asset Sale;

     (2) in the case of Asset Sales which are not Permitted Asset Swaps, at least 75% of the
consideration paid to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such
Asset Sale is in the form of (a) cash or Cash Equivalents; (b) the assumption by the
purchaser of liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities
that are by their terms subordinated to the Senior Notes) as a result of which the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities;
(c) 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 (to the extent of the cash received) within 90 days after
receipt; or (d) a combination of the consideration specified in clauses (a) through (c); and

     (3) the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such
Asset Sale complies with the foregoing clauses (1) and (2).

          (b)    The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects
(or is required by the terms of any Debt):

59

 

     (A)    to permanently prepay or permanently repay (i) any Subsidiary Credit Facilities
Debt (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (ii) Debt that ranks
pari passu with the Senior Notes (provided that if the Company shall so reduce obligations
under such Debt, it will equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Senior Notes by
making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Prepayment Offer
(as defined below) to all holders of Senior Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of the Senior Notes), (iii) Debt of a
Restricted Subsidiary, in each case other than Debt owed to the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company; provided that, if an offer to purchase any Debt of RHDI or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is made in accordance with the terms of such Debt, the obligation to
permanently reduce Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be satisfied to the
extent of the amount of the offer, whether or not accepted by the holders thereof, and no
Excess Proceeds in the amount of such offer will be deemed to exist following such offer or
(iv) Debt which shall have been secured by the assets sold in the relevant Asset Sale
(except as provided in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)); and/or

     (B)    to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in
Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Company
or another Restricted Subsidiary).

          (c)    Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with Section
4.12(b) within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute
“Excess Proceeds.” Pending the final application of the Net Available Cash, the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Debt under the revolving portion of the Subsidiary
Credit Facilities or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in Temporary Cash Investments.

          (d)    When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100 million, the Company will be
required to make an offer to purchase (the “Prepayment Offer”) the Senior Notes and any other pari
passu Debt outstanding with similar provisions requiring an offer to purchase such Debt with such
proceeds, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis
according to principal amount or accreted value, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of
oversubscription) set forth herein. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available
Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders of Senior
Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Senior Notes for purchase in accordance with
this Indenture, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any
purpose not restricted by this Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

          The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” will mean the product of:

     (a) the Excess Proceeds and

60

 

     (b) a fraction,

     (1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, together with any accrued and
unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, and

     (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of
the Senior Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, together with any
accrued and unpaid interest and the aggregate principal amount or accreted value of
other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is
pari passu in right of payment with the Senior Notes and subject to terms and
conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to this
Section 4.12 and requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Debt at
substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer (subject to proration in the
event that such amount is less than the aggregate offer price of all Senior Notes
tendered).

          (e)    Within 45 Business Days after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer as
described in Section 4.12(d), the Company shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the
Holders of Senior Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries
as the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with
respect to such Prepayment Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price
and the purchase date (the “Purchase Date”), which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements
of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed.

          (f)    Not later than the date upon which written notice of a Prepayment Offer is delivered to
the Trustee as provided Section 4.12(e), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Prepayment Offer (the “Offer Amount”), (ii) the allocation
of the Net Available Cash from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Prepayment Offer is being
made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with Section 4.12(b). On or before the Purchase
Date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if
the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) in
Temporary Cash Investments (other than in those enumerated in clause (b) of the definition of
Temporary Cash Investments), maturing on the last day prior to the Purchase Date or on the Purchase
Date if funds are immediately available by open of business, an amount equal to the Offer Amount to
be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.12. Upon the expiration of
the period for which the Prepayment Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Senior Notes or portions thereof that have been
properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall,
on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the
purchase price. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Senior Notes delivered by the
Company to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver
the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in
accordance with this Section 4.12.

61

 

          (g)    Holders electing to have a Senior Note purchased shall be required to surrender the
Senior Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent 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 Company receives 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 Senior Note that was delivered for
purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such
Senior Note purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of
Senior Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Senior
Notes to be purchased on pro rata basis for all Senior Notes (with such adjustments as may be
deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Senior Notes in denominations of $2,000, or larger
integral multiples of $1,000, shall be purchased). Holders whose Senior Notes are purchased only in
part shall be issued new Senior Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the
Senior Notes surrendered.

          (h)    At the time the Company delivers Senior Notes to the Trustee that are to be accepted
for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Senior
Notes are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this
Section 4.12. A Senior Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the
Trustee or the Paying Agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

          (i)    The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section
14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection
with the repurchase of Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12, including any applicable
securities laws of the United States. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.12, the Company shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof.

          SECTION 4.13 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

          (a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, conduct any
business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the
purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the
rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate
Transaction”), unless:

          (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are:

     (i) set forth in writing, and

     (ii) no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length
transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company,

          (b)    if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $20
million, the Board of Directors of the Company (including a majority of the disinterested members
of the Board of Directors of the Company or, if there is only one disinterested director,

62

 

such disinterested director) approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith
judgment, believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a)(1)(ii) of this Section
4.13 as evidenced by a Board Resolution, and

          (c)    if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $100
million, the Company obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect
that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.

          (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may
make, enter into or suffer to exist the following:

     (1) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (2) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10 or any
Permitted Investment;

     (3) the payment of compensation (including awards or grants in cash, securities or
other payments) for the personal services of officers, directors, consultants and employees
of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

     (4) payments pursuant to employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements,
employee benefit plans, or arrangements for employees, officers or directors, including
vacation plans, health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans, directors’ and
officers’ indemnification agreements and retirement or savings plans, stock option, stock
ownership and similar plans so long as the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith
shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to
be performed for such compensation to be fair consideration therefor;

     (5) loans and advances to officers, directors or employees (or guarantees of third
party loans to officers, directors or employees) made in the ordinary course of business,
provided that such loans and advances do not exceed $50 million in the aggregate at any one
time outstanding;

     (6) any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any amendment to any such agreement
(so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders of the Senior Notes in
any material respect) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

     (7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods
or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance
with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries or are on terms no less favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at
such time from an unaffiliated party; provided that such transactions are approved by a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith

63

 

(including a majority of disinterested directors of the Board of Directors of the
Company, or if there is only one disinterested director, such director);

     (8) the issuance and sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Company; and

     (9) sales or transfer of dispositions of Receivables and Related Assets to a
Securitization Entity and acquisitions of Investments in connection therewith.

          SECTION 4.14 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

          (a)    The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be
an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

     (x) the Subsidiary to be so designated does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or
own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, and

     (y) the Company would be permitted under Section 4.10 to make a Restricted Payment in
an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Investment in such Subsidiary. For the
purposes of this provision, in the event the Fair Market Value of such assets exceeds $100
million, such Fair Market Value shall be determined by an Independent Financial Advisor.

Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the
Company will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary.

          (b)    Except as provided in Section 4.14(a), no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at
any time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder thereof may
(with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof
to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with
respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right
to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary) except to the extent permitted
under Sections 4.10 and provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may pledge Capital
Stock or Debt or assets of any Unrestricted Subsidiary on a nonrecourse basis as long as the
pledgee has no claim whatsoever against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary other than to
obtain that pledged property.

          The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation,

     (x) the Company could Incur at least $l.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section
4.09(a) and

     (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would
result therefrom.

64

 

          Any such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors of the Company will be
evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution giving effect to such
designation or redesignation and an Officers’ Certificate that:

     (x) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the provisions of
this Section 4.14, and

     (y) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation,

such filing with the Trustee to occur on or before the time financial statements are filed with the
Commission or the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.16 in respect of the fiscal quarter of the Company
in which such designation or redesignation is made (or, in the case of a designation or
redesignation made during the last fiscal quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, on or before the
time financial statements in respect of such fiscal year are filed with the Commission or the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.16).

          SECTION 4.15 Limitation of Company’s Business.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any
business other than the business that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged in on
the Issue Date or a Related Business.

          SECTION 4.16 Reports to Holders.

          Whether or not the Company is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the
Company will electronically file with the Commission, so long as the Senior Notes are outstanding,
the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Company would be required
to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) if the Company were so subject, and
such documents will be filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required
Filing Dates”) by which the Company would be required so to file such documents if the Company were
so subject, unless, in any case, such filings are not then permitted by the Commission.

          If such filings with the Commission are not then permitted by the Commission, or such filings
are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Company will, without charge to the
Holders, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date, transmit by mail to Holders, as their names
and addresses appear in the Senior Note register, and file with the Trustee copies of the annual
reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Company would be required to file
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were
subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) and, promptly upon written request, supply copies of such
documents to any prospective Holder or beneficial owner at the Company’s cost.

          So long as any of the Senior Notes remain restricted under Rule 144, the Company will make
available upon request to any prospective purchaser of Senior Notes or beneficial owner of Senior
Notes in connection with any sale thereof the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act.

65

 

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

          SECTION 4.17 Suspension of Covenants.

          (a)    From and after the first date that: (i) the Senior Notes have Investment Grade Ratings
from one of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:

	 	(1)	 	Section 4.09;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Section 4.10;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Section 4.12;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Section 4.13;
	 
	 	(5)	 	Section 4.15; and
	 
	 	(6)	 	Clause 5 of Section 5.01(a) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

          (b)    Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event (the “Suspension Date”), the amount
of Excess Proceeds from Net Available Cash shall be set at zero. In the event that the Company and
the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a
result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) in the event that only
one Rating Agency had previously provided an Investment Grade Rating on the Senior Notes, then one
of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or lowers the rating assigned to the
Senior Notes below an Investment Grade Rating or, in the event that both of the Rating Agencies
have previously provided Investment Grade Ratings on the Senior Notes, then both of the Rating
Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or lower the Investment Grade Rating assigned to
the Senior Notes below an Investment Grade Rating or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to
the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension
Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.”
Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will
be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during
the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely
on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

          (c)    On the Reversion Date, all Debt incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the
Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to

66

 

Section 4.09(a) hereof or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.09(b) hereof (to the
extent such Debt or Disqualified Stock would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of
the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt incurred or issued prior to the Suspension
Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt or Disqualified Stock would
not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or (b) hereof, such Debt
or Disqualified Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is
classified as permitted under clause (15) of Section 4.09(b) hereof. Calculations made after the
Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.10 hereof
will be made as though Section 4.10 hereof had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout
the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will
reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.10(a) hereof.

          (d)    The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate notifying it
of any such occurrence under this Section 4.17.

anticipated to become, an obligation of the Surviving Person or any Restricted

transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition is of all the assets of the Company as
an entirety or virtually as an entirety) of substantially all of the assets of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries, or

     (B)    a lease,

shall not be released from any obligation to pay the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes
and any accrued and unpaid interest.

          SECTION 5.02 Successor Person Substituted.

          Upon any consolidation or merger, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
either the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.01 above, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which
such transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary under this Indenture with the same effect as if
such successor corporation had been named as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary herein, and
thereafter the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under
this Indenture and the Senior Notes.

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

provided, however, that the liquidation of any Restricted Subsidiary into another Restricted
Subsidiary or the Company other than as part of a credit reorganization, shall not constitute an
Event of Default under this Section 6.01(6);

69

 

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

(A) is for relief against the Company, RHDI or any other Significant Subsidiary in
an involuntary insolvency proceeding;

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company, RHDI or any other Significant Subsidiary or
for any substantial part of its property;

(C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, RHDI or any other
Significant Subsidiary; or

(D) grants any similar relief under any foreign laws;

and in each such case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or

      (8) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an unsecured aggregate amount
(net of any amount covered by insurance issued by a reputable and creditworthy insurer that
has not contested coverage or reserved rights with respect to the underlying claim and that
continues to make payments pursuant to the terms of the relevant policy) in excess of $40
million at the time entered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and shall not
be waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay
of enforcement shall not be in effect or otherwise payable.

          The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.

          A Default under Section 6.01(4) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding notify the Company
(and in the case of such notice by Holders, the Trustee) of the Default and the Company does not
cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify
the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written
notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default and any event that with the
giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action
the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          The Company shall immediately notify the Trustee if a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Company is convened to consider any action mandated by a petition for debt settlement proceedings
or bankruptcy proceedings. The Company shall also promptly advise the Trustee of the approval of
the filing of a debt settlement or bankruptcy petition prior to the filing of such petition.

          SECTION 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission.

          If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes (other than an Event of Default
specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or
the registered Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then
outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the Senior
Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, plus accrued but unpaid
interest to the date of acceleration. In case an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and
6.01(7) shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Senior Notes shall be automatically due
and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the
Holders of the Senior Notes. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on
acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the registered Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding may rescind and annul such acceleration if
(i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) all existing Events of
Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due
solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful,
interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) the Company has paid the Trustee its
reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances and
all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver
of an Event of Default of the type described in either Section 6.01(6) or (7), the Trustee shall
have received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Event of Default has been cured or
waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

          In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Senior Notes because an Event of Default
described in Section 6.01(5) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the
Senior Notes shall be automatically annulled if the Payment Default or other default triggering
such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within the grace period
provided applicable to such default provided for in the documentation governing such Debt and if
(a) the annulment of the acceleration of the Senior Notes would not conflict with any judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) all existing Events of Default, except
nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Senior Notes that became due solely because of
the acceleration of the Senior Notes, have been cured or waived.

          Subject to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture
at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Senior Notes, unless such Holders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to Section 7.07, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding will have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes.

71

 

          No Holder of Senior Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder, unless:

     (1) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default,

     (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to
the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and

     (3) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding,
within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.

          However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Senior Note for
enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Senior Note
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Senior Note.

          SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and
interest on the Senior Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Senior Notes or
this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise,
adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Senior Notes or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. Any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee may
be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements of the
Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes in respect
of which such judgment has been recovered. 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. No remedy is exclusive of
any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative, to the extent permitted by law. Any costs
associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the
Trustee by the Company.

          SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.

          Provided the Senior Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of
acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Senior Notes at the time outstanding
may on behalf of the Holders of all the Senior Notes waive any past Default with respect to such
Senior Notes and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the
Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of

72

 

any Senior Note or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Senior Note
affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior
Notes will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively;
provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

          SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority.

          The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior
Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the Senior Notes not joining in the giving of such
direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such
direction received from Holders of the Senior Notes.

          SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

          No Holder of Senior Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder, unless:

      (1) the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default,

      (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior
Notes make a written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding or pursue such
remedy as trustee,

      (3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any costs, liability or expense,

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

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

          However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Senior Note for
enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Senior Note
on or after the respective due date expressed in such Senior Note.

73

 

          SECTION 6.07 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Stockholders.

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

          SECTION 6.08 Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Senior
Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Senior
Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed
in the Senior Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

          SECTION 6.09 Collection Suit by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section
6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company (or any other obligor on the Senior Notes) for the
whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid.

          SECTION 6.10 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          The Trustee may 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 any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes), its creditors or
its property and, unless prohibited by law, shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive
any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same
after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are
not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07.

          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 or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Senior Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings. All rights of action
and claims under this Indenture or the Senior Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Senior Notes thereof in any

74

 

proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which
such judgment has been recovered.

          SECTION 6.11 Priorities.

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

          FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

      SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Senior Notes for principal,
premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) as to each, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
Senior Notes; and

          THIRD: to the Company.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.11.

          SECTION 6.12 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 Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding.

ARTICLE SEVEN

TRUSTEE

          SECTION 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

          The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice

75

 

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 Senior Notes and this Indenture.

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

      (1) The Trustee need perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others.

      (2) In the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct 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 but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions
which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform
on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Whenever in the
administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved
or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
(unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate, subject to the requirement in
the preceding sentence, if applicable.

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

      (1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b).

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

      (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes received by it pursuant to the terms hereof.

      (4) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights,
powers or duties if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

          (d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, Sections 7.01(a), (b), (c) and (e) shall
govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee.

          (e)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested
in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this
Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity

76

 

satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request.

          (f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law.

      SECTION 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 

      Subject to Section 7.01:

      (1) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original or
facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.

      (2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of
Section 10.05. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

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

      (4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided
that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

      (5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel with respect to legal matters relating to the Senior Notes or this Indenture
shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any
action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel.

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

      (7) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or
other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry
or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books records, and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or

77

 

attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

      (8) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

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

      (10) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take
specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by
any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so
authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not suspended.

          SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Senior
Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the
Company, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 7.10 and
7.11.

          SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

          The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Senior Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use
of the proceeds from the sale of Senior Notes or any money paid to the Company pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Senior Notes or
this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication, except that the Trustee represents
that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Senior Notes and
perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in any Statement of
Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 to be supplied to the Company will be true and accurate
subject to the qualifications set forth therein.

          SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

          If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
give to each Holder a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs in the manner and to the
extent provided in the TIA and otherwise as provided in this Indenture. Except in the case of a
Default in payment of the principal of or interest on any Senior Note (including payments pursuant
to a redemption or repurchase of the Senior Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture),
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 Holders.

78

 

          SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

          If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after August 15 of any year, commencing
2007, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with
TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall
also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c) and TIA Section 313(d).

      Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail:

      (A)    to all Holders of Senior Notes, as the names and addresses of such Holders
appear on the Registrar’s books; and

      (B)    to such Holders of Senior Notes as have, within the two years preceding such
transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose.

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Commission
and each stock exchange on which the Senior Notes are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee when the Senior Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

          SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

          The Company shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time such compensation for their
services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Company
shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and
advances incurred or made by them in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture,
including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
external counsel, except any expense disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          The Company shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and
hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense,
including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or such
Agent) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the
acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement
costs). The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Company in writing promptly of any claim of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee or Agent for
which it may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company
is actually prejudiced thereby. In the event that a conflict of interest exists, the Trustee may
have separate counsel, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

79

 

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or
indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have
a lien prior to the Senior Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and such
money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Senior Notes.

          The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the
Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee, Agents and each
predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture,
including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.

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

          For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed
pursuant to this Article Seven.

          SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

          The Trustee shall comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA, to the extent applicable.

          The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing no later than 15 Business Days
prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Senior Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee in
writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if:

      (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 or Section 310 of the TIA;

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

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

      (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section
7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc.

          If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided such entity shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

          SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section

          SECTION 7.12 Paying Agents.

          The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it
and the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.12:

      (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or

the Company or by any obligor on the Senior Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of
the Senior Notes or the Trustee;

81

 

      (2) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon

	 	(8)	 	to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection
with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
	 
	 	(9)	 	to provide for the issuance of Additional Senior Notes in
accordance with this Indenture, including the issuance of Additional Senior
Notes as restricted securities under the Securities Act and substantially
identical Additional Senior Notes pursuant to an Exchange Offer registered with
the Commission;
	 
	 	(10)	 	to evidence and provide the acceptance of the appointment of a

82

 

	 	(11)	 	to conform the text of this Indenture or the Senior Notes to
any provision of the “Description of notes” contained in the Offering
Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of notes” is
intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the
Notes.

          SECTION 8.02 With Consent of Holders.

          (a)    This Indenture may be amended with the consent of the registered Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Senior Notes) and any past default or
compliance with any provisions may also be waived (except a default in the payment of principal,
premium or interest and Section 8.01) with the consent of the registered Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding.

            (b)    However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Senior Note, no amendment
may,

	 	(1)	 	reduce the amount of Senior Notes whose holders must consent to
an amendment, supplement or waiver,
	 
	 	(2)	 	reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest
on any Senior Note,
	 
	 	(3)	 	reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any
Senior Note,
	 
	 	(4)	 	make any Senior Note payable in money other than that stated in
the Senior Note,
	 
	 	(5)	 	impair the right of any Holder of the Senior Notes to receive
payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Senior Notes on or after
the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment
on or with respect to such Holder’s Senior Notes,
	 
	 	(6)	 	release any security interest that may have been granted in
favor of the Holders of the Senior Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 other than
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture,
	 
	 	(7)	 	waive a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on the Senior Notes (except as set forth under
Section 6.01).

            (c)    The consent of the Holders of the Senior Notes shall not be necessary to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment. It shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance of the proposed amendment.

            (d)    After an amendment that requires the consent of the Holders of Senior Notes becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to each registered Holder of the Senior Notes at such holder’s
address appearing in the security register a notice briefly describing such amendment.

83

 

However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of the Senior Notes, or any defect
therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

          (e)    Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a board resolution authorizing
the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt
by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company
in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

          SECTION 8.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

          Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Senior Notes shall comply with the TIA
as then in effect.

          SECTION 8.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

          (a)    After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to
it by a Holder of a Senior Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
every subsequent Holder of the same Senior Note or portion thereof, and of any Senior Note issued
upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any such Senior Note.

          (b)    The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record
date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether
or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid
or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite
number of Holders has been obtained.

          SECTION 8.05 Notation on or Exchange of Senior Notes.

          If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Senior Note, the Trustee (in
accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall request the Holder of the
Senior Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the
Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Senior Note about the
changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Senior Note shall issue, and the Trustee shall
authenticate, a new Senior Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or issue a new Senior Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment,
supplement or waiver.

84

 

          SECTION 8.06 Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.

          The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article
Eight if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver. In signing or
refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and,
subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 10.04, that such
amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms
(subject to customary exceptions).

ARTICLE NINE

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

          SECTION 9.01 Discharge of Liability on Senior Notes; Defeasance.

          (a)    This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all
Senior Notes issued hereunder when:

	 	(1)	 	either (x) all Senior Notes that have been authenticated,
except lost, stolen or destroyed Senior Notes that have been replaced or paid
and Senior Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and
thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or (y) all Senior Notes that have not been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing
of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within
one year and the Company 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 Obligations, or a combination of
cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Obligations, in amounts as
will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Senior Notes not delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued
interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
	 
	 	(2)	 	no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
on the date of the deposit;
	 
	 	(3)	 	the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by
it under this Indenture; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Senior Notes or the redemption date, as the case may be.

85

 

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

          (b)    Subject to Sections 9.01(c) and 9.02, the Company may, at its option and at any time,
elect to terminate some or all of its obligations under the outstanding Senior Notes and this
Indenture (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”) except for obligations under Sections 2.04, 2.07 and
2.08 and obligations under the TIA. At any time the Company may terminate its obligations (i) under
Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17, (ii) under Section 6.01(5),
(6), (7) or (8) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries) and (iii) under Sections 5.01(a)(5) and
(a)(6) on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”) and thereafter, any omission to comply with any covenant referred to in clause (ii)
above will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes. The
Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant
Defeasance option.

          (c)    If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Senior Notes may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises
its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Senior Notes may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default as described in Section 6.01(3) (insofar as such Event of Default applies to
obligations under Sections 5.01(a)(5), (a)(6)), under Section 6.01(4) (insofar as such Event of
Default applies to obligations under Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16
and 4.17), under Sections 6.01(5), (6), (7) (in the case of Sections 6.01(6) and (7), with respect
to Significant Subsidiaries only) or under Section 6.01(8) or the failure of the Company to comply
with Section 5.01(a)(5).

          (d)    Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company,
the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company
terminates.

          (e)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04,
2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive until such time as the Senior Notes have been
paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive.

          SECTION 9.02 Conditions to Defeasance.

          The Legal Defeasance option or the Covenant Defeasance option, in Section 9.01 may be
exercised only if:

	 	(a)	 	the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee
money or Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Senior Notes to maturity or redemption, as the
case may be;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from an
internationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants
expressing their opinion that the payments of principal, premium, if any, and
interest

86

 

when due and without reinvestment on the deposited Government Obligations
plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times
and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any,
and interest when due on all the Senior Notes to maturity or redemption, as
the case may be;

	 	(c)	 	123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day
period no Default described in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the
Company or any other Person making such deposit which is continuing at the end
of the period;
	 
	 	(d)	 	no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;
	 
	 	(e)	 	such deposit does not constitute a default under any other
material agreement or instrument binding on the Company;
	 
	 	(f)	 	the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is
qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940;
	 
	 	(g)	 	in the case of an election of Legal Defeasance under Section
9.01, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

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

     (2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the
applicable U.S. Federal income tax law,

to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Senior Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Legal Defeasance election and will be subject to U.S. Federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as
would have been the case if such election has not occurred;

	 	(h)	 	in the case of an election of Covenant Defeasance under Section
9.01, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of the Senior Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance
and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such election had
not occurred; and

87

 

	 	(i)	 	the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to an
election under 9.01 have been complied with as required by this Indenture.

          SECTION 9.03 Deposited Money and Government Obligations To Be Held in 
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

          All money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.02(a) in respect of the outstanding Senior Notes shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Senior Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of such
Senior Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any,
and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

          The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or the
principal, premium, if any, 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 Senior Notes.

          Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon a request of the Company any money or Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.02(a) which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          SECTION 9.04 Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 9.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Senior Notes shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Nine until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 9.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Senior Notes because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Senior Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

          SECTION 9.05 Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

          In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by
any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Company,
be paid to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to

88

 

Section 9.02(a), to the Company upon a request of the Company, and thereupon such Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

          SECTION 9.06 Moneys Held by Trustee.

          Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company in trust
for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Note that are
not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Senior Note for two years after the date
upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Senior Note shall have
respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company upon a request of the Company,
or if such moneys are then held by the Company in trust, such moneys shall be released from such
trust; and the Holder of such Senior Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided
that the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may,
at the expense of the Company, either mail to each Holder affected, at the address shown in the
register of the Senior Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04, or cause to be
published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New
York, a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance
of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or the
release of any money held in trust by the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look only to
the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates
another Person.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

R.H. DONNELLEY CORPORATION

8.875% SERIES A-4 SENIOR NOTE DUE 2017

          1. Interest. R.H. DONNELLEY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as issuer (the
“Company”), promises to pay, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment,
interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 8.875% per annum.
Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 2, 2007 to but excluding the date on
which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 15 and October 15,
commencing April 15, 2008. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and actual days elapsed. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on
overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Senior Notes.

          2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest hereon (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on April 1 or October
1 immediately preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must
surrender Senior Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay to the
Paying Agent principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. If a Holder has given wire
transfer instructions to the Company, the Company may pay or cause to be paid by the Paying Agent,
all principal, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on that Holder’s Senior Notes in
accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Senior Notes will be made at the
office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest
payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders.

          3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”) will
act as a Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

          4. Indenture. The Company issued the Senior Notes under an Indenture dated October
2, 2007 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. This is one of an issue of Senior
Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Senior Notes
include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time.
The Senior Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such
Act for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise
defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

          The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and can be issued in an
initial amount of up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount and additional

A-4

 

amounts as part of the same series or new series under the Indenture subject to the provisions of
the Indenture.

          5. Optional Redemption. (a) Except as set forth in this Section 5(b) and (c), the
Senior Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to October 15, 2012.
Thereafter, the Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at
any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the
following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the
12-month period commencing on October 15 of the years set forth below and are expressed as
percentages of principal amount:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Redemption
	Redemption Year	 	Price
	2012
	 	 	104.438	%
	2013
	 	 	102.958	%
	2014
	 	 	101.479	%
	2015 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%

          (b) From time to time prior to October 15, 2010, the Company may at its option on any one or
more occasions redeem Senior Notes (including Additional Senior Notes, if any) in an aggregate
principal amount up to a maximum of 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes
(including Additional Senior Notes, if any) issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of
108.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the
redemption date, subject to the rights of the holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or
more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided that:

     (1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (including
Additional Senior Notes, if any) issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately
after giving effect to any such redemption (excluding Senior Notes held by the Company and
its Subsidiaries); and

     (2) the redemption occurs within 90 days’ of the date of the closing of such Qualified
Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice.

          (c) The Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 15,
2012, at the option of the Company upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed on the
redemption date plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

          For purposes of this Section 5(c), the following terms will have the following definitions:

A-5

 

          “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Senior Note on any redemption date, the
greater of:

     (1) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Note; and

     (2) the excess of:

     (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of
the Senior Note at October 15, 2012 (such redemption price being set forth in the
table appearing under Section 5(a)) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on
the Senior Note through October 15, 2012 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to
the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as
of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over

     (b) the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Note.

          “Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption
date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in
the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available
at least two business days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no
longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the
period from the redemption date to October 15, 2012; provided, however, that if the period from the
redemption date to October 15, 2012, is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually
traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used

          (d) The Trustee will select Senior Notes called for redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5
on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair
and appropriate; provided that no Senior Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. A new
Senior Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name
of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Senior Note. Senior Notes called for
redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 and paragraph 6 hereto become due on the date fixed for
redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest stops accruing on Senior Notes or portions
of them called for redemption.

          6. Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail
at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Senior Notes to
be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Senior
Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Senior Note
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

          7. Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change
of Control or an Asset Sale and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company shall
make an offer to purchase outstanding Senior Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Indenture.

A-6

 

          8. Registration Rights. (a) In addition to the rights of Holders of Senior Notes
under the Indenture, such Holders shall have the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.

          9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Senior Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and larger integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Senior Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay
to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar shall not be
required to exchange or register a transfer of any Senior Note for a period of 15 days immediately
preceding the redemption of Senior Notes, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being
redeemed in part.

          10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Senior Note may be treated
as the owner of this Senior Note for all purposes.

          11. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its
written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as
general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.

          12. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company and the Trustee (if a party
thereto) may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Senior Notes, amend, waive or
supplement the Indenture or the Senior Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other
things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, qualifying the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Company of
its obligations under the Indenture and making any change that does not materially and adversely
affect the rights of any Holder. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Senior
Notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes, subject to certain
exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Senior Notes to be affected.

          13. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Debt, pay
dividends on, redeem or repurchase its Capital Stock, make certain investments, sell assets, enter
into transactions with Affiliates, expand into unrelated businesses, create liens and consolidate,
merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.
Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company must annually report to the Trustee on
compliance with such limitations.

          14. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations
of its predecessor under the Senior Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the
terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in
Article Five, be released from those obligations.

A-7

 

          15. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the Senior
Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7)) shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the registered Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable
the principal amount of all the Senior Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. In case an Event of
Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) shall occur, such amount with respect to all the
Senior Notes shall be automatically due and payable immediately without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Senior Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require
indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Senior Notes. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes
may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of the principal of or interest on any Senior Note (including payments pursuant to a
redemption or repurchase of the Senior Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), the
Trustee may withhold notice of an Event of Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

          16. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to,
accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise
deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

          17. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, agent, member or stockholder or Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes, the Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of Senior Notes by accepting a Senior Note waives and releases all such liabilities. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Senior Notes.

          18. Discharge. The Company’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be
discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of
the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Senior Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the
Trustee of United States dollars or Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of
and interest on the Senior Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

          19. Authentication. This Senior Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the
certificate of authentication on the other side of this Senior Note.

          20. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Trustee and the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
the Indenture or the Senior Notes.
