date of the most
recent financial statements for Parent reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $100,000 the
fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of

and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16-2, as of the date hereof, there is no
existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which Parent is a party
requiring, and there is no membership interest or other capital stock of Parent outstanding which
upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by Parent of any additional membership
interests or other capital stock of Parent or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for
or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other capital stock
of Parent.

          Section 3.17 SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

          (a) Parent and XM Satellite have filed all required reports and other documents with the SEC
required to be filed by each of them since January 1, 2008. The information contained or
incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports was true and correct in all material respects as of
the respective dates of the filing thereof with the SEC (or if amended or superseded by a filing
prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing); and, as of such respective
dates, the SEC Reports (taken together with each other SEC Report filed on or prior to such date)
did not contain an 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 under
which they were made, not misleading.

11

 

All of the SEC Reports, as of their respective dates,
complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

          (b) The financial statements included in the SEC Reports (collectively, the “Financial

2008, and (ii) liabilities that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

reputable insurance companies, and pays all premiums and costs related to, insurance coverage in
such amounts (with no greater risk retention) and against such risks as are customarily maintained
by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses as Parent and its
Subsidiaries.

          Section 3.19 Margin Regulations. Neither the issuance of the XM Satellite Notes in the Exchanges hereunder will not violate
the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board.

          Section 3.20 No Registration. Subject to compliance by the Purchasers with the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 5.1, it is not necessary to register the XM Satellite Notes or the Structuring Fee
Shares under the Securities Act or to qualify the XM Satellite Notes Indenture under the TIA in

Agreement of the XM Satellite Notes to the Purchasers on the Closing Date or (2) the issue and
delivery of the Structuring Fee Shares to the Purchasers on the Delivery Date.

material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign
assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B,

12

 

Chapter V,
as
amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the
PATRIOT Act. No part of the proceeds of the XM Satellite Notes will be used, directly or

appropriate to accomplish the foregoing. Neither Guarantor has any liability as a primary obligor
or guarantor under any of the debt instruments, indentures or agreements to which the Parent, XM
Satellite or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party. Neither of the Guarantors is a
“Restricted Subsidiary” as defined in any of the material indentures or other credit agreements to
which Parent is a party. Neither Guarantor has any material indebtedness, and each Guarantor has
valid and marketable title to their respective interests in the Mortgaged Property, free and clear

that it conforms with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
SEC promulgated thereunder until at least March 2, 2009; provided, that if Parent meets the
requirements of a “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act) on March 2, 2009, Parent shall keep its WKSI Shelf effective, supplemented and
amended as required by the Securities Act until the Purchasers have sold all of the Structuring Fee
Shares.

Shelf.

          (a) No later than the Closing Date and subject to receipt of all required information from
each Purchaser, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, Parent shall file a supplement to Parent’s
WKSI Shelf (a “Prospectus Supplement”) naming each of the Purchasers as selling

term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) that is not a “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer.”
Immediately upon losing its status as a “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer,” Parent shall file a new
non-automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a post-effective amendment to its
existing shelf (in either case, a “Non-WKSI Shelf” and, together with Parent’s WKSI Shelf,

Registration Statement by written notice to the Purchasers for a period not to exceed an aggregate
of 15 days in any 90-day period (each such period, a “Suspension Period”) if an event
occurs and is continuing as a result of which the Registration Statement, any related prospectus,
any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein would, in
Parent’s judgment, 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 the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, Suspension Periods shall
not exceed an aggregate of 60 days in any 360-day period. Parent shall not specify in the written
notice to the Purchasers the nature of the event giving rise to the Suspension Period.

Purchasers in completing any sale process undertaken in connection with the resale of the Notes or
any portion thereof as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

          Section 4.6 Rules 144 and 144A. Parent shall file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and if, at any time Parent is not required
to file such
reports, it will make publicly available other information necessary to permit sales pursuant
to Rule 144 and Rule 144A. Upon the written request of any holder of the XM Satellite Notes,
Parent shall deliver to it a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information
and requirements.

          Section 4.7 Existing Convertible Notes. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, XM Satellite shall not and shall
not allow its Subsidiaries to purchase Existing Convertible Notes for cash or exchange new
indebtedness for Existing Convertible Notes.

all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal
expenses) incurred in enforcing or defending any rights or remedies under this Agreement or in

connection with this Agreement. XM Satellite will pay, and will save the Purchasers harmless from,
all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses if any, of brokers and finders in relation to
the Exchanges or the issuance of the Structuring Fee Shares.

          Section 7.2 Indemnification.

18

 

          (a) XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchasers and each of their respective Affiliates, partners, stockholders, members,
directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to any such Indemnitee in connection with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or the performance by the parties of their
respective obligations hereunder and under the XM Satellite Notes Indenture and the Security
Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the
Exchanges or the issuance of the Structuring Fee Shares); (ii) the issuance of the XM Satellite
Notes or the Structuring Fee Shares; (iii) the breach by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

          (b)

          (i) XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all actual losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to any such Indemnitee arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any issuer free
writing prospectus or prospectus relating to the Structuring Fee Shares (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading;

          (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as
incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission;

          (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing
or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that
any such expense is not paid under Section 7.2(b)(i) or (ii).

          (c) Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless XM
Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent, and each of their respective Affiliates, partners,
stockholders, members, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons, to the same
extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (b)(i) above, in each case to the extent, but only
to the extent, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with any information relating to such Purchaser or furnished to the Company in writing
by such Purchaser expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any prospectus or any issuer
free writing prospectus (provided that, for the

19

 

avoidance of doubt, such information shall be
deemed to include any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Purchaser);
provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of any Purchaser for indemnification under
this Section 7.2(c) exceed the amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Purchaser from the
sale of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

          Section 7.3 Contribution.

          (a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.2 is for any reason unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified person in respect of any or all actual losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, the indemnifying person shall contribute to the
aggregate amount of such actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees,
as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent on the one hand and the Indemnitees on the other hand from
the Transactions or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent on the one
hand and of the Indemnitees on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The obligations of XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent pursuant to
this Section 7.3(a) shall be joint and several and the obligations of each Purchaser pursuant to
this Section 7.3(a) shall be several and not joint.

          (b) The relative benefit received by XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent in connection
with the Transactions shall be equal to the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes (before
deducting expenses) received by Sirius XM and the Guarantors. The relative benefit received by an
Indemnitee in connection with the Transactions shall be the net proceeds received by the applicable
Purchaser in the sale of the Structuring Fee Shares.

          (c) The relative fault of XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent on the one hand and the
Indemnitees on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
matters for which the Indemnitees are granted indemnification from XM Satellite, the Guarantors and
Parent arise pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or, in the case of matters for which the Indemnitees are
granted indemnification under Section 7.2(b) or matters for which XM Satellite, the Guarantors and
Parent are granted indemnification under Section 7.2(c), whether such untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent or by the Indemnitees and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.

          (d) XM Satellite, the Guarantors and Parent on the one hand and the Indemnitees on the other
hand agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7.3. The aggregate amount
of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnitee and referred to
above in this Section 7.3 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation,
or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

          Section 7.4 Waiver of Punitive Damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and
each hereby waives, any claim against the other parties (including their respective Affiliates,
partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons),
on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or

20

 

punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby (including
the Exchanges, the issuance of the XM Satellite Notes and the issuance of the Structuring Fee
Shares).

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

QUESTIONNAIRE

The undersigned beneficial owner of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), of Sirius XM Radio Inc. (the “Company”) understands that the Company has filed a shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-156495) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and intends to file with the SEC a prospectus
supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Shelf Registration Statement for registration and
resale of shares of Common Stock (the “Registrable Common Stock”) issued to the undersigned
pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, certain stockholders and other
parties named therein (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).

In order to sell or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Common Stock pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Common Stock generally will be required
to be named as a Selling Stockholder in the Prospectus Supplement, deliver the Prospectus
Supplement to purchasers of Registrable Common Stock (or a notice of registration pursuant to Rule
173 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and be bound by those provisions of the Note
Purchase Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification
provisions). Beneficial owners are required to complete and deliver this Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire so that such beneficial owners may be named as Selling Stockholders in the Prospectus
Supplement.

Certain legal consequences may arise from being named as Selling Stockholders in the Prospectus
Supplement. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Common Stock are advised to
consult their own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being
named as a Selling Stockholder in the Prospectus Supplement.

     (b) an Officers’ Certificate delivered in accordance with to Section 14.4 and Section
14.5.

     The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint
an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent
may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. Certificates of
authentication may be executed by the Trustee or a duly authorized authentication agent by manual
or facsimile signature.

     The Notes shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of
$2,000 of principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, except PIK Notes
may be issued in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple thereof, and any increase
in the principal amount of Notes as a result of a payment of PIK Interest may be made in integral
multiples of $1.00.

     Section 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent.

     The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
repurchase, redemption or payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency

21

 

where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture
may be served. Pursuant to Section 6.5, the Company shall at all times maintain a Registrar, Paying
Agent and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Notes and this Indenture may be served in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.

     The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The
term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including any named pursuant to Section
6.5.

     The Company may enter into an appropriate limited agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying
Agent or co-registrar (in each case, if such Registrar, agent or co-registrar is a Person other
than the Trustee). Each such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate
to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If
the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall
be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 9.7.

     The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection
with the Notes. The initial office of the Registrar and Paying Agent shall be the office of the
Trustee that is located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, which office is presently
located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005.

     Section 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust.

     Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date
of payments in respect of any Note, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash (in
immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) sufficient to make such payments when so
becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all
cash held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Notes and shall notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all cash held by it to the Trustee, and to account for any funds
disbursed by it, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon
the written request to the Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to forthwith pay to the Trustee
all cash so held in trust. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the
cash.

     Section 2.5. Holder Lists.

     The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee on or before each semiannual interest
payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and
as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

22

 

     Section 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

     (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section
2.12, when a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to
exchange such Note for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the
Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that
every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed
or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate, each in the form
included in Exhibit A attached hereto and in form satisfactory to the Registrar and each duly
executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration
of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or exchange at
an office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate, Notes of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s
request. Any transfer or exchange shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges
that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Notes from the Holder
requesting such transfer or exchange. The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar
need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of
Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period
of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

     Neither the Company, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a
transfer of any Notes in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and
not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the
case of Notes to be repurchased in part, the portion thereof not to be repurchased).

     All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

     (b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 shall provide to the Trustee such
information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar
of Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes.

     (c) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note between or among Agent Members or other
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and
when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

     Section 2.7. Replacement Notes.

23

 

     If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee, or (b)
the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company, the Registrar and
the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of any notice to the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a certificate number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become
due and payable or redeemed by the Company pursuant to ARTICLE IV, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay, redeem or repurchase such Note, as the case may be.

     Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the
Registrar) connected therewith.

     Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Notes duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Notes.

     Section 2.8. Outstanding Notes; Determinations of Holders’ Action.

     Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee, except for those
cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.8 as
not outstanding. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, the replaced Note ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by
a bona fide purchaser unaware that such Note has been replaced.

     Subject to Section 2.12(f), a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate thereof holds the Note; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Notes have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected conclusively in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows
to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the

24

 

foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any
such determination.

     If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, on a redemption
date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, money sufficient to
pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof)
to be redeemed, repurchased or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date, such
Notes (or portions thereof) shall cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Interest, if
any, on such Notes (or portions thereof) shall cease to accrue.

     Section 2.9. Temporary Notes.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of
the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Notes may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

     If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be
exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of
the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive
Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as
definitive Notes.

     Section 2.10. Cancellation.

     All Notes surrendered for payment, repurchase by the Company pursuant to Article V, redemption
or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it or, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed, paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedure.

     Section 2.11. Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Note is

25

 

registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of,
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Note, and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     Section 2.12. Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.

     (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

     (i) Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for interests in the
Global Securities only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Securities or if at any
time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange
Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation, and a successor Depositary is
not appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days or (x) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Registrar receives a request from the Depository
that the notes be issued in definitive form. In any such case, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company
agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver Certificated Securities in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Securities
in exchange therefor. Only Restricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in
exchange for beneficial interests in Restricted Global Securities, and only
Unrestricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial
interests in Unrestricted Global Securities. Certificated Securities issued in
exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be registered in such
names and shall be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct
the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Certificated
Securities to the Persons in whose name such Notes are so registered. Such exchange
shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

     (ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture other than the
provisions set forth in Section 2.12(a)(i), a Global Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee
of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary.

     (b) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. In the event that Certificated
Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities in accordance with
Section 2.12(a)(i), and, on or after such event, Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder
to the Registrar with a request:

     (x) to register the transfer of the Certificated Securities to a person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of Certificated Securities only; or

26

 

     (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of
Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations,

such Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however,
that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange:

     (i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in accordance with the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 2.6(a); and

     (ii) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security, such request shall be
accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

     (A) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being delivered to the
Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without
transfer, or such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to
the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, a certification to that effect
from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer
Certificate);

     (B) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to a
person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB in compliance with Rule 144A,
pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification
to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the
Transfer Certificate); or

     (C) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than to a QIB
in accordance with Rule 144A), that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to
the Trustee a certificate containing certain representations and warranties
by such Institutional Accredited Investor (in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit B), an Opinion of Counsel if required by the Company or the
Trustee and a certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially
the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate).

     (c) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Security for a Beneficial
Interest in an Unrestricted Global Security. Any person having a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer such
beneficial interest to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery thereof in the form
of an Unrestricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions, or such
other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee
on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security and the
following additional information and documents in such form as is customary for the Depositary

27

 

from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of the person having such beneficial interest in
the Restricted Global Security (all of which may be submitted by facsimile or electronically):

     (i) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from
the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); or

     (ii) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144, a
certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in
the Transfer Certificate), the Trustee, as the Registrar, shall reduce or cause to
be reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the
appropriate principal amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the
aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security by a like principal
amount. Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures. If no Unrestricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the
Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver an Unrestricted Global
Security.

     (d) Transfers of Certificated Securities for Beneficial Interests in Global
Securities. In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial
interests in Global Securities and, thereafter, the events or conditions specified in Section
2.12(a)(i) which required such exchange shall cease to exist, the Company shall mail notice to the
Trustee and to the Holders stating that Holders may exchange Certificated Securities for interests
in Global Securities by complying with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and briefly
describing such procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be given.
Thereafter, if Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

     (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities to a person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, which request
shall specify whether such Global Security will be a Restricted Global Security or an
Unrestricted Global Security, or

     (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of
beneficial interests in a Global Security, which beneficial interests shall be owned by the
Holder transferring such Certificated Securities (provided that in the case of such an
exchange, Restricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Restricted Global
Securities and Unrestricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Unrestricted
Global Securities), the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as
requested by canceling such Certificated Security and causing, or directing the Registrar to
cause, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security to be increased
accordingly and, if no such Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver
promptly) authenticate and deliver a new Global Security;

28

 

provided, however, that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange:

     (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
accordance with the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 2.6(a);

     (2) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security to be transferred for a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, such request shall be accompanied by
the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

     (i) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to
that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer
Certificate); or

     (ii) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred pursuant to
the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form
set forth in the Transfer Certificate);

     (3) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged
for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security, such request shall be accompanied
by a certification from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer
Certificate) to the effect that such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred
to a person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB (which, in the case of an exchange,
shall be such Holder) in compliance with Rule 144A or, in the case of a transfer to an
Institutional Accredited Investor (other than to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A), by a
certificate containing certain representations and warranties by such Institutional
Accredited Investor (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B), an Opinion of
Counsel if required by the Company or the Trustee and a certification to that effect from
the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); and

     (4) in the case of an Unrestricted Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged
for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, such request need not be
accompanied by any additional information or documents.

     (e) Legends.

     (1) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), each Global
Security and Certificated Security (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or upon
registration of transfer or replacement thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the
form called for by footnote 2 to Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “Transfer Restricted
Security”), for so long as it is required by this Indenture to bear such legend. Each
Transfer Restricted Security shall have attached thereto a certificate (a “Transfer
Certificate”) in substantially the form called for by footnote 4 to Exhibit A attached
hereto.

29

 

     (2) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (x) pursuant to Rule
144 or (y) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act:

     (i) in the case of any Restricted Certificated Security, any Registrar shall
permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Restricted Certificated Security for an
Unrestricted Certificated Security, or (under the circumstances described in Section
2.12(d)) to transfer such Restricted Certificated Security to a transferee who shall
take such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
Security, and in each case shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of such
Note; and

     (ii) in the case of any beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security,
the Trustee shall permit the beneficial owner thereof to transfer such beneficial
interest to a transferee who shall take such interest in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Security and shall rescind any restriction on
transfer of such beneficial interest; provided, that such Unrestricted Global
Security shall continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(a)(ii).

     (3) Upon the expiration of the holding period pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities
Act, the Company shall remove any restriction of transfer on such Note, and the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such
legend and that do not have a Transfer Certificate attached thereto.

     (f) Transfers to the Company. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in the Notes
shall prohibit the sale or other transfer of any Notes (including beneficial interests in Global
Securities) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company shall ensure that if any such
Notes shall be reissued, such reissuance shall comply with applicable law and any Notes reissued as
Transfer Restricted Securities shall be assigned a different “CUSIP” number than any other Notes.

     (g) Amendments to Rule 144. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, if
Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act is amended to shorten the one-year period under
Rule 144, then the references to “one year” in the restrictive legend of each Transfer Restricted
Security shall be deemed to refer to such shorter period from and after receipt by the Trustee of
the documents described in Section 2.12(d)(2) from the Company or from a Holder of a Transfer
Restricted Security; provided that a Transfer Restricted Security shall not be deemed to refer to
such shorter period if to do so would be prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of,
the U.S. federal securities laws applicable at the time. As soon as practicable after a Responsible
Officer of the Company receives notice of the effectiveness of any such amendment to shorten the
one-year period under Rule 144, unless causing the Transfer Restricted Securities to refer to such
shorter period would otherwise be prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the U.S.
federal securities laws applicable at the time, the Company shall provide to the Trustee the
documents described in Section 2.12(d)(2) respecting the effectiveness of such amendment.

     Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers.

30

 

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

     Section 2.14. Payment of PIK Interest .

     (a) The Company shall be entitled make a payment of PIK Interest under this Indenture, at its
option, either in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or issuing
PIK Notes.

     (b) With respect to the issuance of any PIK Notes, no later than the relevant Interest Payment
Date, the Company shall deliver to the trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee),
(i) if such PIK Notes are definitive Notes, the required amount of new definitive Notes (rounded up
to the nearest whole dollar) and an order to authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes or (ii) if
such PIK Notes are Global Notes, an order to increase the outstanding principal amount of Notes by
the required amount (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) (or, if necessary pursuant to the
requirements of the Depositary or otherwise, new Global Notes and an order to authenticate and
deliver such new Global Notes). Any PIK Notes shall, after being executed and authenticated
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, be (i) if such PIK Notes are definitive Notes, mailed to
the person entitled thereto as shown on the Register for the definitive Notes as of the relevant
Record Date or (ii) if such PIK Notes are Global Notes, deposited into the account of the Holder or
Holders thereof as of the relevant Record Date.

     (c) Alternatively, in connection with any payment of PIK Interest, the Company may direct the
Paying Agent to make appropriate amendments to the schedule of principal amounts of the relevant
Global Notes outstanding for which PIK Notes will be issued and arrange for deposit into the
account specified by the Holder or Holders thereof as of the relevant Record Date.

     (d) Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes as a result
of a payment of PIK Interest, the Global Notes will bear interest on such increased principal
amount from and after the date of such payment. Any PIK Notes issued in certificated form or as
new Global Notes will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest
from and after such date. All Notes issued pursuant to a payment of PIK Interest will mature on
June 1, 2011 and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, this
Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue
Date. Any PIK Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note.

     (e) Payment shall be made in such form and terms as specified in this Section 2.14 and the
Company shall and the Paying Agent may take additional steps as is necessary to effect such
payment.

payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of
acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of this
Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company promptly to make any such payment of principal

acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

     (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that its
obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the

failure to enforce the provisions of such Note or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification,
consent or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Note or
the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge

by law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against
the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Note or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or

full of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Note or as otherwise set
forth in this Indenture. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely of
collectability and the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is not contingent upon
the genuineness, validity, enforceability of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any
other instrument relating to the creation or performance of the Company’s obligation which are the
subject of the Note Guarantees or the pursuit by the Trustee of any remedies which the Trustee or
the Holders may have with respect thereto at law, in equity or otherwise. The Subsidiary
Guarantors shall pay all sums due to the

Trustee hereunder in respect to the Note Guarantees without regard to any counterclaim,
setoff, deduction, or defense of any kind and without abatement, suspension, deferment or reduction
on account of any occurrence whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation hereunder shall be
unaffected, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any claims based upon any
of the following: (a) any amendment or modification of the provisions of this Indenture or any
Security Document; (b) any extension of the time for or performance under this Indenture or any of
the Security Documents; (c) the release of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor from

foreclosure of any security interest therein in whole or in part; and (e) the filing of any
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief from creditors by or against the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any right or claim or right to cause a marshalling of the
assets of any party obligated under the Indenture or Security Documents. No invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Notes or the Obligations
shall effect, impair or be a defense to the obligations of the Note Guarantors.

against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Subsidiary Guarantors
pursuant to the provisions of the Note Guarantees; provided, however, that the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon
such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Notes issued
under this Indenture shall have been paid in full.

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

     (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any Note Guarantee to the contrary, all
rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder or under the Note Guarantee and all other rights of
indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the
part of any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required hereunder or any Note Guarantee (or
any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its Obligations hereunder,
and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

     (f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary
obligations owed by it to any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations.

on the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article III shall not be construed as preventing
the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     Section 3.5. Release of Note Guarantees.

Guarantee shall be released with respect to the Notes related thereto, and the provisions thereof

similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Note Guarantees. To effectuate the

case of the Global Securities) is a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change
Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be so
paid pursuant to this Section 5.1 only if the Note so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform

determined by the Company.

     The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 5.1, a portion of
a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

have no duty or responsibility to review such reports, information or documents. In the event that
the Company or Parent shall provide the Trustee with any such report and shall not have filed such
report on EDGAR, the Trustee shall promptly mail copies of such reports to each Holder (other than
reports provided solely pursuant to TIA Section 314(a)).

     (b) Each of the Company and Parent intends to file the reports referred to in paragraph (a)
above in this Section 6.2 hereof with the SEC in electronic form pursuant to Regulation S-T of the
SEC using the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. Compliance
with the foregoing shall constitute delivery by the Company or Parent of such reports to the
Trustee in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.2(a) and TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee
shall have no duty to search for or obtain any electronic or other filings that the Company or
Parent makes with the SEC, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or
otherwise. Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.2(b) shall be solely for the purposes of compliance with this

43

 

Section 6.2(b) and with TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information
and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the consent thereof or of any matter
determinable from the content thereof, including the Company’s or Parent’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder, as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely upon Officers’ Certificates.

     Section 6.3. Compliance Certificate.

     The Company and Parent shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 calendar days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company or Parent, as applicable, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether
or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in compliance with all conditions
and covenants under this Indenture.

     Section 6.4. Further Instruments and Acts.

     Upon request of the Trustee, or as otherwise necessary, the Company and Parent shall execute
and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or
proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

     Section 6.5. Maintenance of Office or Agency of the Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent.

     The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, an office or
agency of the Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent where Notes may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, repurchase or
redemption and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The office of the Trustee presently located at 100 Wall Street, Suite
1600, New York 10005, shall initially be such office or agency for all of the aforesaid purposes.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in
the location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the office of
the Trustee). 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 14.2.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the 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.

     Section 6.6. Delivery of Information Required Under Rule 144A.

     Prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales of the Notes under Rule 144
of the Securities Act (or any successor provision), upon the request of a Holder or any beneficial
owner of Notes, the Company shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, promptly furnish or cause to be furnished the information required
pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to such Holder or any beneficial owner of
Notes, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any

44

 

such holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or
holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of any such security.
Whether a person is a beneficial owner shall be determined by the Company to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction.

     Section 6.7. 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, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal
amount or Fundamental Change Purchase Price in respect of Notes, or any interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on such amounts, as contemplated herein, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

     Section 6.8. Statement by Officers as to Default.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable and in any event within five
Business Days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
that is continuing, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of
Default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

     Section 6.9. Redemption of Notes. 

          Upon the occurrence of a sale/leaseback, other financing, sale or other disposition of
substantially all of the Mortgaged Property or any other Collateral of a Subsidiary Guarantor to a
Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a
Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company (but excluding any transaction subject to Article VII
where the recipient is required to become the obligor of the Notes or the Note Guarantees, as
applicable), the Company covenants to use all Net Available Cash received by the Company and/or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, in connection with such transaction to make a redemption
of the Notes pursuant to Article IV of this Indenture within 60 days of receipt; provided, however,
that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9 shall not be construed to authorize the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor to engage in any sale/leaseback, other financing, sale or other
disposition transaction except as permitted hereunder.

ARTICLE VII

SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

     Section 7.1. When Company or Subsidiary Guarantors May Merge or Transfer Assets.

45

 

     Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, shall
consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, unless:

     (a) either (i) the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be
the continuing corporation or (ii) the Person (if other than the Company or such Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or
such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is merged or the Person which acquires by
conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be,
substantially as an entirety (1) shall be organized and validly existing under the laws of
the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (2) shall expressly
assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company or such
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Notes, the Note Guarantees (in the case
of the Subsidiary Guarantors), this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration
Rights Agreement;

     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; and

     (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
sale, lease or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection
with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with this ARTICLE VII and that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been
satisfied.

     For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise) of the
properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries, which, if such assets were owned by the Company,
together with the assets of all of the other Subsidiaries of the Company, would constitute all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer
of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company unless such transfer is to
the Company or another Subsidiary.

     The successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantors, as the case may be, is merged or the successor Person to which such conveyance,
transfer, sale, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and
may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may
be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company or
the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a
conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition and any obligations the Company or the
Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, may have under a supplemental indenture, the Company or
the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be discharged from all obligations and
covenants under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable. Subject to
Section 11.6, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, the Trustee and the
successor Person shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the

46

 

succession and substitution of such successor Person and such discharge and release of the
Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Indenture or in the Notes or the Note
Guarantees will prevent:

     (1) any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Company or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor;

     (2) any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor; or

     (3) any Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or
convey, transfer, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties
and assets to any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company so long as such Subsidiary or Affiliate
(1) shall be organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State
thereof or the District of Columbia, (2) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental
hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all
of the obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, under the
Notes, the Note Guarantees (in the case of the Subsidiary Guarantors), this Indenture, the Security
Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement and (3) such Subsidiary or Affiliate is an entity
whose sole permitted business purpose is to own the real property and other assets now owned by
such Subsidiary Guarantor.

     Section 8.2. Acceleration.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(i) or Section
8.1(j) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing (including an Event of Default
specified in Section 8.1(i) or Section 8.1(j) with respect to one or more Significant
Subsidiaries), the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding,
by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder) may rescind an

49

 

acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any,
that have become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under

right consequent thereto.

     Section 8.3. Other Remedies.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or
does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

     Section 8.4. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Subject to Section 8.7 and Section 11.2, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any
other Holder), may waive an existing Default and its consequences except:

     (a) a Default described in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b); or

     (b) a Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, which, under
Section 11.2, cannot be amended or modified without the consent of each Holder affected
thereby.

     When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 8.4 shall be in lieu of
Section 316(a)1(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this
Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

     Section 8.5. Control by Majority.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee
determines in good faith is prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee
in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it. This Section 8.5
shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(A) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(A) is hereby expressly
excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

50

 

     Section 8.6. Limitation on Suits.

     A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

     (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is
continuing;

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

     (c) such Holder or Holders offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

     (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of security or indemnity; and

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

     A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an
affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to
such Holders).

     Section 8.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of the principal, Fundamental Change Purchase Price, interest and Additional Interest, if
any, in respect of the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
the Notes and in this Indenture, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected
adversely without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 8.8. Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company or another obligor on the Notes for the whole amount owing with respect to the Notes and
the amounts provided for in Section 9.7.

     Section 8.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor
or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal, Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, interest and Additional Interest, if any, in respect of the Notes shall then be due

51

 

and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any such amount) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal, Fundamental Change
Purchase Price, interest and Additional Interest, if any, and to file such 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 or any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
9.7) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

     (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official 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 the Trustee any amount due 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 9.7.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

the following order:

     FIRST: to the Trustee and Collateral Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.7;

     SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for the principal, Fundamental
Change Purchase Price, interest and Additional Interest, if any as the case may be, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Notes;
and

     THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be.

     The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 8.10. At least 10 calendar days prior to such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be
paid.

     Section 8.11. Undertaking for Costs.

52

 

     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 (other than the Trustee) 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
8.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 8.7 or a suit
by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding.
This Section 8.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby
expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to
be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but

9.1;

faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in

omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant

Certificate;

rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the

     (j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee or

     Section 9.3. Individual Rights of Trustee.

55

 

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee; provided that the Trustee must comply with Section 9.10 and Section 9.11. Any
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar may do the same with like rights.

     Section 9.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the
Notes, it shall not be responsible for any statement in any registration statement for the Notes
under the Securities Act or in any offering document for the Notes, this Indenture or the Notes
(other than its certificate of authentication), or the determination as to which beneficial owners
are entitled to receive any notices hereunder.

     Section 9.5. Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default occurs and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder
notice of the Default within 90 calendar days after it occurs or, if later, within 15 calendar days
after it is known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the
giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except in the case of a Default
described in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(k), 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 interest of the Holders. The preceding sentence shall be in lieu of the
proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby expressly excluded from this
Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

     Section 9.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that
complies with TIA Section 313(a), if required by such Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA Section 313(b).

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and
each securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to notify the
Trustee promptly whenever the Notes become listed on any securities exchange and of any delisting
thereof.

     Section 9.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Company agrees to:

     (a) pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the
Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder
(which compensation shall not be limited (to the extent permitted by law) by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

56

 

     (b) reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
(including the compensation and the reasonable expenses, advances and disbursements of its
agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable
to its own negligence or willful misconduct; and

     (c) fully indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to
hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability, cost or expense
(including attorney’s fees and expenses, and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by
or determined by the income of the Trustee)) incurred without the Trustee’s negligent
action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any
other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section
9.7.

     With regard to its indemnification rights under this Section 9.7(c) where the Company has
assumed the defense in any action or proceeding, the Trustee shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense
thereof, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel;
provided, however, that the Trustee may only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company
if in the judgment of the Trustee (i) a conflict of interest exists by reason of common
representation or (ii) there are legal defenses available to the Trustee that are different from or
are in addition to those available to the Company or if all parties commonly represented do not
agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.

     To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 9.7, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in
trust to pay the principal amount, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or interest and Additional
Interest, if any, as the case may be, on particular Notes.

     The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall survive the discharge of
this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses
after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 8.1(i) or Section 8.1(j), the expenses
including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel, are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     Section 9.8. Replacement of Trustee.

     The Trustee or Collateral Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company; provided, however,
that no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee has
accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 9.8. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee or Collateral Trustee
by so notifying the Trustee or Collateral Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove the
Trustee or Collateral Trustee if:

57

 

     (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10;

     (b) the Trustee or Collateral Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

     (c) a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee or
its property; or

     (d) the Trustee or Collateral Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

     A successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form
and substance to the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee and the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee or Collateral Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Trustee to the successor Trustee
or Collateral Trustee, upon payment of all the retiring Trustee’s or Collateral Trustee’s fees and
expenses then due and payable and subject to the lien provided for in Section 9.7.

     If a successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Collateral
Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the
time outstanding may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction at
the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee.

     If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10, any Holder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     Section 9.9. Successor Trustee by Merger.

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

     Section 9.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

     The Trustee and any successor Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(b). The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the
application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b). If at any

58

 

time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
9.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

     Section 9.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT
 DEFEASANCE

     Section 10.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

     (a) When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than Notes
replaced or repaid pursuant to Section 2.7) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Notes have
become due and payable (whether at the Stated Maturity, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or upon
acceleration, or on a redemption date as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant
to Article IV hereof) and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to
pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to
Section 2.7), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 9.7, cease to be of further effect. The
Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

     (b) Subject to Sections 10.1(c) and 10.2, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all its
obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations

(with respect to the covenants so defeased), 8.01(g), 8.01(h) and 8.01(k) and the limitations
contained in Section 7.1(b) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal
defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

     If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the 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 Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default specified in Sections 8.01(e), 8.01(f) (with respect to the covenants so defeased),
8.01(g), 8.01(h) and 8.01(k) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section
7.1(b).

     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.

sufficient to pay principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest when
due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

     (3) 123 days pass after the deposit is made, and during the 123-day

change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that,
the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

     (7) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax

60

federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not

     The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any cash or
securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains
unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company,
Holders entitled to the cash or securities must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person and the Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall have no further liability to the Holders with respect to such cash or
securities for that period commencing after the return thereof.

     Section 10.5. Indemnity for Government Obligations.

accordance with this Article X 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 Notes so discharged or
defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article
X until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article X; provided, however, that, if the Company
has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive
such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights under the Security
Documents in accordance therewith.

     (d) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the related Note Guarantees,
acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents, the Collateral as now or
hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders and the Trustee, and that
the Note Liens and the Security Documents in respect of the Trustee and the Holders are subject to
and qualified and limited in all respects by the Security Documents and actions that may be taken
thereunder.

     Section 12.2. Maintenance of Collateral. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their best
efforts to maintain the Collateral in good, safe and insurable operating order, condition and
repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and do all other acts as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to maintain and preserve the value of the Collateral, except where the failure to
maintain such value would not have a material adverse effect on the Collateral. The Subsidiary

66

 

Guarantors shall pay all real estate and other taxes (except for those being contested in good
faith and for which adequate reserves have been made), and maintain in full force and effect all
material permits and certain insurance coverages, except to the extent that the failure to maintain
such permits and coverages follows the sale, in accordance with this Indenture, of the assets to
which such permits or coverages relate or where such failure would not have a material adverse
effect on the Collateral.

     Section 12.3. Further Assurances; Insurance.

     (a) The Subsidiary Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, do all acts reasonably requested
by the Collateral Trustee which may be reasonably necessary to confirm that the Collateral Trustee
holds, for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee, duly created, enforceable and perfected Note
Liens and security interests in the Collateral as contemplated by this Indenture and the Security
Documents.

     (b) The Subsidiary Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver
such documents and instruments and take all such further actions (including the filing and
recording of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of
trust and other documents), (i) that may be required under any applicable law or regulation to
cause the Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied at all times or (ii) that the Trustee
or Collateral Trustee may reasonably request for purposes of implementing or effectuating the
provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, or of more fully perfecting or renewing
the rights of the Collateral Trustee in the Collateral or ensuring the priority of the Note Liens,
all at the expense of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

     (c) The Subsidiary Guarantors will:

     (1) keep the Collateral adequately insured at all times by financially sound and
reputable insurers;

     (2) maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against such risks (and with such
deductibles, retentions and exclusions), including fire and other risks insured against by
extended coverage and coverage for acts of terrorism, as is customary with companies in the
same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including public
liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring
upon, in, about or in connection with the use of any Collateral;

     (3) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law; and

     (4) maintain such other insurance as may be required by the Security Documents.

     Each such policy of insurance shall (a) name the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of Holders, as
an additional insured thereunder, (b) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss
payable clause or endorsement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, that
names the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of Holders, as the loss payee thereunder and (c) provide
for at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee of any cancellation of such policy.

67

 

     (d) The Company will otherwise comply with the provisions of TIA §314(b).

     (e) To the extent applicable, the Company will cause TIA §313(b), relating to reports, and TIA
§314(d), relating to the release of property and the substitution therefore of any property to be
pledged as Collateral for the Notes and the Note Guarantees thereof, to be complied with. Any
certificate or opinion required by TIA §314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company except in
cases where TIA §314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person,
which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.03(e),
the Company will not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA §314(d) if it determines,
in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of TIA §314(d) and/or any
interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no
action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA §314(d) is inapplicable to one or a
series of released Collateral.

     Section 12.4. Impairment of Security Interest. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
Guarantors shall take or omit to take any action which would materially adversely affect or impair
the Note Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee and the Holders with respect to the Collateral.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantors shall grant to any Person, or permit any Person
to retain (other than the Collateral Trustee), any interest whatsoever in the Collateral, other
than the Permitted Liens. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantors shall enter into any
agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay,
redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as
permitted by this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents. The
Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, execute
and deliver all such agreements and instruments as necessary or as the Collateral Trustee or
Trustee shall reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the assets and property
intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Security Documents.

     Section 12.5. Release of Note Liens.

     (a) The Note Liens will be released with respect to the Notes and/or a Note Guarantee, as
applicable:

     (i) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture;

     (ii) in whole, upon legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes and/or
the Note Guarantees;

     (iii) in whole, upon payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any,
on), interest on and all other Obligations on the Notes;

     (iv) with the consent of each Holder affected thereby (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for, or purchase of, Notes);

68

 

     (v) in part, as to any asset constituting Collateral other than the
Mortgaged Property with a fair market value of less than $1,000,000 that is sold or
otherwise disposed in a transaction or series of transactions that are part of a
common plan by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors to any Person, other than
the Company or any Subsidiary (but excluding any transaction subject to Article VII
where the recipient is required to become the obligor of the Notes or the Note
Guarantees, as applicable), to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of;

     (vi) in whole with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon a sale/leaseback,
other financing, sale or other disposition of substantially all of the Mortgaged
Property or other Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not
(either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a
Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company (but excluding any transaction subject
to Article VII where the recipient is required to become the obligor of the Notes or
the Note Guarantees, as applicable); provided, however, that (1) in the case of the
Mortgaged Property, (a) the total proceeds received by the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor in connection with such transaction are at least equal to the fair market
value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of such
Collateral and (b) Net Available Cash of at least $50,000,000 in immediately
available funds is received by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor at closing
of such sale/leaseback, other financing, sale or other disposition; and (2) in the
case of the Mortgaged Property and any other Collateral not subject to Section
12.5(a)(v) above, all Net Available Cash received is used within 60 days of receipt
to make a partial or full redemption of the Notes pursuant to Article IV of this
Indenture; and

     (vii) automatically upon the release thereof by the consent of at least 66-2/3%
in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

provided, that, in the case of any release in whole pursuant to clause (a)(iii) above, all amounts
owing to the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security
Documents have been paid.

     (b) To the extent required pursuant to Section 314(d) of the TIA, the Company and each
Subsidiary Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, prior to each proposed
release of Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents and this Indenture:

     (i) an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture and the Security Documents to
such release have been complied with; and

     (ii) all documents required by TIA §314(d), this Indenture and the Security
Documents.

     Upon compliance by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, with the
conditions precedent set forth above, and if required by this Indenture upon delivery by the

69

 

Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such conditions have been complied with, the Trustee or the Collateral
Trustee shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Company, or the relevant
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, the released Collateral, and the Trustee and Collateral
Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor, as
the case may be, such instruments of release or reconveyance and other documents as the Company or
the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor may request.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall
not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA §314(d) if they determine, in good faith
based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or
guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff, including “no action” letters
or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA §314(d) is inapplicable to the released Collateral.

     (d) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, among other things, without any release or
consent by the Trustee, conduct ordinary course activities with respect to Collateral as provided
for in the Collateral Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral
Trustee, within 30 calendar days following the end of each six-month period beginning on June 1 and
December 1 of any year, an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that all releases and withdrawals
during the preceding six-month period (or since the Issue Date, in the case of the first such
certificate) pursuant to this Section 12.5(d) in which no release or consent of the Trustee and the
Collateral Trustee was obtained in the ordinary course of the Company’s and the Subsidiary
Guarantors’ business were not prohibited by this Indenture.

     Section 12.6. Acknowledgment by Holders. By acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Holder
(i) irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Trustee by the
terms of the Security Documents and this Indenture, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (ii) acknowledges and consents to the provisions of this Indenture and the
Security Documents, and that it shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Security Documents or
this Indenture except pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.

     Section 12.7. Trust Indenture Act. For purposes of this Article XII only, “TIA” or “Trust
Indenture Act” shall mean the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect
on the Issue Date to the extent permitted by law.

not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless
otherwise indicated.

1. Interest.

     The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 10.0% Cash
Interest per annum from December 1, 2008 to December 1, 2009; at 10.0% Cash Interest per annum and
2.0% PIK Interest per annum from December 1, 2009 to December 1, 2010; and 10.0% Cash Interest per
annum and 4.0% PIK Interest per annum from December 1, 2010 to the Stated Maturity. The Company
shall pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such
day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if
no interest has been paid, from [December 1, 2008][the date of issuance]; provided that the first
Interest Payment Date shall be [June 1, 2009].

     The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall, except as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date
for such interest, which shall be the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the
case may be, next preceding the corresponding Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).

     Any such interest and Additional Interest, if any, not so punctually paid or duly provided for
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid (a)
to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close
of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the
Trustee (a “Special Record Date”), notice whereof shall be given to Holders not less than 10
calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or (b) at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     If the Holder elects to require the Company to purchase this Note pursuant to Section 6 of
this Note, on a date that is after the Regular Record Date and on or before the corresponding
Interest Payment Date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, accrued and unpaid hereon to, but
excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall be paid to the same Holder to whom the
Company pays the principal of this Note. Interest and Additional Interest, if any, accrued and

A-4

 

unpaid hereon at the Stated Maturity also shall be paid to the same Holder to whom the Company
pays the principal of this Note.

     The Company will not be required to make any payment on the Notes due on any day which is not
a Business Day until the next succeeding Business Day. The payment made on the next Business Day
will be treated as though it were paid on the original due date and no interest will be payable on
the payment date for the additional period of time.

     All references herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall, without
duplication, be deemed to include Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement.

principal. Payment of Cash Interest and Additional Interest, if any, on Certificated Securities in
the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less shall be made by check mailed to the address

Interest and Additional Interest, if any, on Certificated Securities in aggregate principal amount
in excess of $5,000,000 shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds if requested
in writing by the Holder, otherwise by check mailed to the address of the Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as the Notes are registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all

Indenture and (2) if the payment of PIK Interest is made by increasing the principal amount of
