Dear Michael:

This letter (the “Letter Amendment”) amends the letter agreement between you and Platinum
Underwriters Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) dated July 24, 2008 (the “Letter Agreement”) as
follows:

1. To replace Section 1 of the Letter Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“1. Term of Employment.

Your employment hereunder shall commence on October 29, 2009 (the “Effective
Date”) and, subject to termination as provided in Section 11 hereof, shall end on
July 31, 2013; provided that, on August 1, 2013 and on each August 1 thereafter, the
term of your employment shall automatically be extended by an additional year unless
you or the Company gives the other party written notice, at least 120 days prior to
the end of the current term, that you or the Company has determined that the term
shall not be so extended. Such employment period, as extended, shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “Term”.”

2. To replace Section 3 of the Letter Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“3. Base Salary.

During the Term, the Company shall pay you a base salary (“Base Salary”) at an
annual rate of US$750,000 for the period from the Effective Date through December
31, 2009 and at an annual rate of US$980,000 beginning on January 1, 2010, payable
in cash in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices as in effect from time to
time.”

3. To replace Section 4 of the Letter Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“4. Annual Bonus.

During each calendar year of the Term, you shall be eligible for an annual
performance bonus (“Annual Bonus”) pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended
and Restated Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”). Your Annual Bonus shall have an
incentive target equal to 200% of Base Salary for 2009 and 150% of Base Salary for
each year thereafter (the “Target Bonus”). You will be eligible for an Annual Bonus
equal to the Target Bonus multiplied by the “Performance Bonus Multiplier” as
defined in the AIP (the “Formula Bonus Amount”); provided, however,
that the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will, in its sole
discretion, determine the actual Annual Bonus paid to you. The Performance Bonus
Multiplier shall be a percentage, ranging from 0% to 200%, depending on the
“Performance Goals” relative to the “Performance Criteria,” as such terms are
defined in the AIP, all as established by the Committee for all participants in the
AIP. Your Annual Bonus shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the AIP
following the end of the calendar year to which it relates, subject to such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall require. Pursuant to the terms of the AIP,
payment of your Annual Bonus shall be made in cash, restricted share units or a
combination thereof, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at
the time of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the AIP to the
contrary, (i) as long as you are in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines
adopted by the Board (as they may be amended from time to time by the Board, the
“Guidelines”), the Annual Bonus shall be paid 100% in cash, and (ii) you shall be
entitled to receive a prorated Annual Bonus for the period from January 1 through
July 31 of the last calendar year of the Term in cash in an amount equal to 7/12ths
of the Formula Bonus Amount for such year, subject to modification in the sole
discretion of the Committee, payable at the time provided for in Section 15 hereof
(the “Prorated Bonus Payment”), provided that such payment shall be conditioned upon
compliance with Section 16 hereof.”

4. To replace Section 5 of the Letter Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“5. Restricted Share Award.

As of the Effective Date, you shall be granted by the Company under the
Company’s 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) an award of restricted shares
with respect to 65,682 common shares, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Company
(the “Common Shares”) that vest in two equal installments on July 31 of each of 2012
and 2013 (the “Restricted Share Award”). The terms of the Restricted Share Award
shall be provided for in a Restricted Share Award Agreement between you and the
Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.”

5. To replace Section 6 of the Letter Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“6. Executive Incentive Plan Awards.

During the Term, you shall be a participant in the Company’s Amended and
Restated Executive Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). On or prior to February 28 of each
calendar year during the Term, you will be eligible for an award under the EIP (an
“EIP Award”) of that number of share units under the EIP equal to 100% of your Base
Salary divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2006 Share Incentive
Plan) of a Common Share on the date of grant of such EIP Award, with a Performance
Cycle (as defined in the EIP) of three years. The actual amount, terms and
conditions and the form of payment of any EIP Award will be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms of the EIP;
provided, however, that, on or prior to February 28, 2010, you shall
receive an EIP Award of that number of share units under the EIP equal to 100% of
your Base Salary divided by the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of
grant of such EIP Award with a Performance Cycle of three years. In the event that
your employment with the Company terminates upon or after the expiration of the
Term, you shall be entitled to receive payment in respect of each EIP Award on a
prorated basis based on your period of service with the Company and the performance
levels achieved by the Company for the Performance Cycle as of the end of the fiscal
quarter preceding the termination of your employment with the Company, provided that
such payment shall be conditioned upon compliance with Section 16 hereof. The terms
and conditions, including the date and the form of payment, of each EIP Award shall
be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms
of the EIP and the award agreement reflecting such EIP Award.”

6. To replace Section 11(f)(i)(F) of the Letter Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“you abandon Bermuda or such other location as the Board shall establish for the
Company’s corporate headquarters as your primary residence prior to the end of the
Term without the prior written consent of the Governance Committee of the Board,
or”.

7. To add “or such other location as the Board shall establish for the Company’s corporate
headquarters” after “New York” and before “;or” in Section 11(f)(ii)(D) of the Letter Agreement.

8. To replace “2011 Bonus Payment” with “Prorated Bonus Payment” throughout Section 15 of the
Letter Agreement.

9. To replace Exhibit A of the Letter Agreement with Exhibit A attached hereto.

All other terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement remain in full force and effect. This
Letter Amendment is intended to be a binding obligation upon the Company and you. If this Letter
Amendment correctly reflects your understanding, please sign and return one copy to the Company for
the Company’s records.

RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 29, 2009 (the “Date
of Grant”), between Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd., a Bermuda company (the “Company”) and
Michael D. Price (the “Grantee”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the
meanings attributed to them in the Company’s 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been supplied to the Grantee, and the
Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt thereof.

Section 1. Restricted Share Award. The Company grants to the Grantee, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, a restricted share award with respect to 65,682 common
shares of the Company, par value US$.01 per share (the “Restricted Shares”).

Section 2. Vesting of Restricted Shares. Subject to Section 3 hereof, the
Restricted Shares shall become vested and nonforfeitable based on the continued employment of the
Grantee with the Company or a Subsidiary in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Vesting Date

	 	Number of Shares 

	 

	 	 	 	 
	1. July 31, 2012

	 	 	32,841	 
	 

	 	 	 	 
	2. July 31, 2013

	 	 	32,841	 
	 

	 	 	 	 

Section 3. Termination of Employment; Breach of Certain Restrictive Covenants.
If the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated prior to the
occurrence of any otherwise applicable vesting date provided in Section 2 hereof, the Grantee shall
(i) forfeit his interest in the Restricted Shares that have not yet become vested, (ii) assign,
transfer, and deliver any certificates evidencing ownership of such shares to the Company, and
(iii) cease for all purposes to be a shareholder with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (A) if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Grantee for “Good Reason” or by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries without “Cause” (each as defined in the Grantee’s employment
agreement with the Company, dated October 29, 2009, (the “Employment Agreement”)), then the
transfer restrictions and forfeiture conditions imposed hereunder on any unvested Restricted Shares
shall immediately lapse and all such unvested Restricted Shares shall become fully vested without
regard to the vesting requirements set forth in Section 2 hereof, (B) if the Grantee’s employment
is terminated on account of the Grantee’s death or “Disability” (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), then the transfer restrictions and forfeiture conditions imposed hereunder on that
number of unvested Restricted Shares that would have become vested in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2 in the one-year period following such death or Disability had Grantee’s
employment not been terminated shall immediately lapse and such unvested Restricted Shares shall
become fully vested, and (C) if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or
if the Grantee breaches Section 12(c) or Section 12(d) of the Employment Agreement, then the
Company may require the Grantee to return to the Company any or all of the Common Shares granted
hereunder, whether vested or unvested, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be
required by the Committee.

Section 4. Rights as a Shareholder. Subject to the otherwise applicable
provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee will have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Restricted Shares granted to the Grantee hereunder, including the right to vote the shares and
receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto.

Section 5. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Agreement nor any
Restricted Shares covered hereby may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or
pledged by the Grantee, otherwise than to the Company, unless as of the date of any such sale,
assignment, transfer, encumbrance, hypothecation or pledge, such Restricted Shares to be thus
disposed of have become vested in accordance with Section 2 hereof. The certificate or
certificates representing shares delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a legend referring
to the nontransferability or assignability of such shares pursuant to this Section, and a
stop-transfer order against such certificate or certificates will be placed by the Company with its
transfer agents and registrars. At the discretion of the Committee, in lieu of issuing a share
certificate to the Grantee, the Company may hold the Restricted Shares in escrow during the period
such shares remain subject to the vesting restrictions and other restrictions provided hereunder.

Section 6. Investment Representation. Upon acquisition of Restricted Shares
at a time when there is not in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
relating to the Common Shares, the Grantee hereby represents and warrants, and by virtue of such
acquisition shall be deemed to represent and warrant, to the Company that the Restricted Shares
shall be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and not with any
present intention of distributing the same, and the Grantee shall provide the Company with such
further representations and warranties as the Company may require in order to ensure compliance
with applicable federal and state securities, blue sky and other laws. No Restricted Shares shall
be acquired unless and until the Company and/or the Grantee shall have complied with all applicable
federal or state registration, listing and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements
of law or of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, unless the Committee has received
evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the applicable securities laws. Any determination in this connection by the
Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company reserves the right to legend any
certificate for Common Shares, conditioning sales of such shares upon compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws and regulations.

Section 7. Changes in Common Shares. If there shall occur any
recapitalization, reclassification, share dividend, extraordinary dividend, share split, reverse
share split, or other distribution with respect to the Common Shares, or any merger,
reorganization, consolidation or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Shares,
the Committee shall, in the manner and to the extent that it deems appropriate and equitable to the
Grantee and consistent with the terms of the Plan, cause an adjustment in (i) the number and kind
of shares subject to the Award and (ii) any other terms of the Award that are affected by the
event.

Section 8. No Right of Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall
confer upon the Grantee any right to continue as an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or to
interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any
time.

Section 9. Section 83(b) Election; Withholding. The Grantee may make an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the grant of Restricted Shares by filing a
copy of such election with the Company within 30 days of the Date of Grant. If the Grantee makes
such an election, the grant of Restricted Shares shall be conditioned upon the prompt payment by
the Grantee to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable federal, state and local income
taxes and other amounts required by law to be withheld (the “Withholding Taxes”) in connection with
such election. If the Grantee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with
respect to the grant of Restricted Shares, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any applicable
Withholding Taxes upon the lapse of the vesting restrictions, and the lapse of the restrictions
shall be conditioned upon the prior payment of any such applicable Withholding Taxes by the
Grantee.

Section 10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the legatees, distributees, and personal representatives of the Grantee and the
successors of the Company.

Section 11. Notices. All notices or other communications which are required
or permitted hereunder shall be deemed sufficient if contained in a written instrument given by
personal delivery, telex, telecopier, telegram, air courier or registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address set forth below

Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is
unlimited.  All Securities shall be identical in all respects other
than issue prices and issuance dates.  The Securities may be issued in

    Subject

(which shall distinguish the Securities of the series from Securities of any
other series);

    (2)
the aggregate principal amount of such Securities to be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture, which may be issued for an unlimited aggregate
principal amount (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities
of the same series pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 or 3.06 or
Appendix A and except for Securities which, pursuant to Section 2.03,
are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder);

     

    (3)
the issue price and issuance date of such Securities, including the date from
which interest payable with respect to such Securities shall
accrue;

     

    (4)
if applicable, that such Securities shall be issuable in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective
depositories for such Global Securities; the form of any legend or legends that
shall be borne by any such Global Security in addition to or in lieu of that set
forth in Exhibit 1 to Appendix A and any circumstances in addition to
or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.3 of Appendix A in which
any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered; and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be
registered in the name or names of Persons other than the depository for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof; and

     

    (5)
if applicable, that such Securities shall not be issued in the form of Initial
Securities subject to Appendix A, but shall be issued in the form of Exchange
Securities as set forth in Exhibit A.

     

    SECTION
2.02.  Form
and Dating.  Provisions relating to the Initial Securities and
the Exchange Securities are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture.  The
Initial Securities of each series and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to Appendix
A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this
Indenture.  The Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture.  The
Securities of each series may have notations, legends or endorsements required
by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any,
or usage; provided that any
such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Company.  Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication.  The terms of the Securities of each series set forth
in Exhibit 1 to Appendix A and Exhibit A are part of the terms of
this Indenture.

     

    SECTION
2.03.  Execution and
Authentication.  An Officer (and for purposes of this
Section 2.03, the term Officer shall include any Vice President of the
Company authorized by the Board of Directors) shall sign the Securities for the
Company by manual or facsimile signature.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          40

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the
time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid
nevertheless.

     

    At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the
Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such written
order of the Company shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities.

     

    A
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee
manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security.  The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
under this Indenture.

     

    The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company
to authenticate the Securities.  Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the
Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication
by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent
for service of notices and demands.

     

    SECTION
2.04.  Registrar and Paying
Agent.  The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the
City of New York where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer
or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an
office or agency in the City of New York where Securities may be presented for
payment (the “Paying
Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities
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.

     

    The
Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar,
Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall
incorporate the terms of the TIA.  The 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 7.07.  The Company or any of its
domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

     

    The
Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in
connection with the Securities.

2.05.  Paying Agent To Hold Money
in Trust.  Prior to each due date of the principal and interest
on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum
sufficient to pay such principal and interest 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

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          41

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    money
held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
any such payment.  If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as
Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold
it as a separate trust fund.  The Company at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any
funds disbursed by the Paying Agent.  Upon complying with this
Section 2.05, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the
money delivered to the Trustee.

     

    SECTION
2.06.  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 furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days
before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

     

    SECTION
2.07.  Replacement
Securities.  If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that such Security has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder
satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee.  If
required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity
bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from
any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced.  The
Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a
Security.

     

    Every
replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

     

    SECTION
2.08.  Outstanding
Securities.  Securities outstanding at any time are all
Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08
as not outstanding.  A Security does not cease to be outstanding
because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the
Security.

     

    If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to
them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

     

    If
the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this
Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all
principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or
portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and
after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding
and interest on them ceases to accrue.

     

    SECTION
2.09.  Temporary
Securities.  Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          42

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    temporary
Securities.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form
of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities
and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

     

    SECTION
2.10.  Cancellation.  The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and
dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act)
all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or
cancellation and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company upon its
request therefor unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled
Securities to the Company.  The Company may not issue new Securities
to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

     

    SECTION
2.11.  Defaulted
Interest.  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on
the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest
payable with respect to such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any
lawful manner.  The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the
persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date.  The
Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment
date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to
each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and
the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

     

    SECTION
2.12.  CUSIP
Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither
the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the
“CUSIP” number that appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or
redemption notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers.

such redemption is being made pursuant to such paragraph 5 of the
Securities.

    The
Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.01 at least 45 days before the redemption date unless the
Trustee consents to a shorter period.  Such notice shall be
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate from the Company to the effect that such
redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

     

    SECTION
3.02.  Selection of Securities To
Be Redeemed.  If fewer than all the Securities are to be
redeemed pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that complies with
applicable legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and that the
Trustee considers fair and appropriate and in accordance with methods generally
used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar
circumstances.  The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding
Securities not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee may
select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have
denominations larger than $1,000.  Securities and portions of them the
Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called
for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for
redemption.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the
Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

     

    SECTION
3.03.  Notice of
Redemption.  At least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail a notice of
redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at
such Holder’s registered address.

     

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

     

    (1)
the redemption date;

     

    (2)
the redemption price;

     

    (3)
the name and address of the Paying Agent;

     

    (4)
that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price;

     

    (5)
if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
identification and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be
redeemed;

     

    (6)
that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date, and the only remaining right of the Holders is to
receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent;
and

     

    (7)
that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          44

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense.  In such event, the
Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this
Section 3.03 at least 40 days before the redemption date and at least
five days prior to the Trustee giving the notice of redemption.

     

    SECTION
3.04.  Effect of Notice of
Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities
called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the
redemption price stated in the notice.  Upon surrender to the Paying
Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the
notice, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
redemption).  Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to
any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other
Holder.

     

    SECTION
3.05.  Deposit of Redemption
Price.  Prior to or on the redemption date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary
is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption), on
all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of
Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the
Trustee for cancellation.

     

    SECTION
3.06.  Securities Redeemed in
Part.  Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at
the Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal
and interest then due.

     

    The

therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of

Company shall not be so obligated to file such information, documents and

provided further, however, that the
Company shall be required also to provide to Holders any such information,
documents or reports that are not so filed.  The Company shall also
comply with the other provisions of TIA

Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations
hereunder for purposes of clause (d) of Section 6.01 until
120 days after the date any report hereunder is due.  Delivery of
such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational

constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively
on Officers’ Certificates).

     

    SECTION
4.03.  Limitation on
Debt.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt unless, after
giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, no Default or Event of
Default would occur as a consequence of such Incurrence and no Default or Event
of Default would be continuing following such Incurrence and application of
proceeds and either:

in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any
business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Debt incurred by any
Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted
Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that
(1) such Debt is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote or
footnotes to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance
sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of
this clause (1)) and (2) the maximum assumable liability in respect of such
Debt will at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the
fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received

    For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, (1) in the event
that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt
described herein, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify such item
of Debt at the time of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and
type of such Debt in one of the above clauses, (2) the Company will be
entitled at the time of such Incurrence to divide and classify an item of Debt
in more than one of the types of Debt described herein and (3) with respect
to Debt permitted under clause (k) of this Section 4.03 in respect of Sale
and Leaseback Transactions that are not Capital Lease Obligations on the Issue
Date, any reclassification of such Debt as a Capital Lease Obligation shall not

have been Incurred pursuant to clause (b) of the second paragraph of this
Section 4.03; (B) all outstanding Debt evidenced by the 9.750% Notes
due 2016 will be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (b) of the

to clause (1) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.03, to the
extent such Debt could be Incurred pursuant to such clause at the time of such
reclassification, and (G) any Permitted Debt may later be reclassified as
having been Incurred pursuant to any other

    SECTION
4.04.  Limitation on Restricted
Payments.  The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment if
at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted
Payment:

     

    (a)
a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;

     

    (b)
the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause
(1) of the first paragraph of Section 4.03; or

     

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

     

    (1)
50% of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period
(treated as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal
quarter that commences after the Issue Date to the end of the most recent fiscal
quarter for which financial statements have been filed with the Commission (or,
if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a
deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); plus

     

    (2)
100% of Capital Stock Sale Proceeds; plus

     

    (3)
the sum of:

     

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

     

    (B)
the aggregate amount by which Debt (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet after the Issue Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Debt
(other than convertible or exchangeable debt issued or sold after the Issue
Date) for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Company;

     

    excluding,
in the case of clause (A) or (B):

     

    (x) any
such Debt issued or sold to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or an
employee stock ownership

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          50

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    plan
or trust established by the Company or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of
their employees; and

     

    (y)
the aggregate amount of any cash or other Property distributed by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or exchange;

     

    plus

     

    (4)
an amount equal to the sum of:

     

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

     

    (B)
the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Unrestricted
Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted
Subsidiary (provided that such
designation occurs after the Issue Date);

     

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

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing limitation, the Company may:

     

    (a)
pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the declaration thereof if,
on said declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with
this Indenture; provided, however, that at the
time of such payment of such dividend, no other Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom); provided further,
however, that,
if declared on or after the Issue Date, such dividend shall be included in the
calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

     

    (b)
purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value
Capital Stock of the Company or Subordinated Obligations on or after the Issue
Date in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other
than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company or an employee
stock ownership plan or trust established by the Company or any such Subsidiary
for the benefit of their employees); provided, however,
that:

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          51

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (1)
such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or
retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted
Payments; and

     

    (2)
the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from such exchange or sale shall be excluded
from the calculation pursuant to clause (c)(2) above;

     

    (c)
purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value any
Subordinated Obligations on or after the Issue Date in exchange for, or out of
the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Permitted Refinancing
Debt; provided,
however, that
such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or
retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted
Payments;

     

    (d)
[intentionally omitted];

     

    (e)
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the
repurchase or other acquisition on or after the Issue Date of shares of, or
options to purchase shares of, Capital Stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries from employees, former employees, directors or former directors of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such
employees, former employees, directors or former directors), pursuant to the
terms of the agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or
amendments thereto) approved by the Board of Directors under which such
individuals purchase or sell or are granted the option to purchase or sell,
shares of such Capital Stock; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of such repurchases and other acquisitions shall not exceed
$15.0 million; provided further,
however, that
such repurchases and other acquisitions shall be included in the calculation of
the amount of Restricted Payments;

     

    (f)
make payments not to exceed $2.5 million in the aggregate to enable the Company
to make payments to holders of its Capital Stock in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares of its Capital Stock on or after the Issue Date; provided, however, that such
payments shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted
Payments; and

     

    (g)
make any other Restricted Payments on or after the Issue Date not to exceed an
aggregate amount of $40.0 million; provided, however, that such
payments shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted
Payments.

     

    SECTION
4.05.  Limitation on
Liens.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any
Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its Property (including Capital
Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter
acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom.  If the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor creates any
additional Lien upon any Property to secure any Secured

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          52

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    Obligations,
it must concurrently grant a second priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens)
upon such Property as security for the Securities or Subsidiary Guarantees of
the Securities such that the Property subject to such Lien becomes Second
Priority Collateral subject to the Second Priority Liens, except to the extent
such Property constitutes cash or cash equivalents required to secure only
letter of credit obligations under Credit Facilities following a default under
such Credit Facilities.

     

    Notwithstanding
anything in the preceding paragraph, (1) the aggregate principal amount of
Senior Obligations constituting Debt and any other Debt secured by a Lien on the
Collateral that shares in the distribution of proceeds of Collateral prior to
the Securities, at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of the
aggregate amount of Debt that at such time may be outstanding at any one time
under clause (b) of the second paragraph of Section 4.03 and
$200 million; and (2) the Company shall not, and shall not permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, create or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of the
Collateral (including Collateral consisting of Capital Stock or Debt of any
Subsidiary of the Company) now owned or hereafter acquired by it securing any
Public Debt unless the holders of such Public Debt share in the distribution of
proceeds from the foreclosure on Collateral either (A) on an equal and
ratable basis with the holders of the Senior Obligations or (B) on an equal
and ratable basis with the Holders (and any other obligations that share on an
equal and ratable basis with the Holders).

     

    SECTION
4.06.  Limitation on Asset Sales
and Specified Collateral Dispositions.  The Company shall not,
and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,
consummate any Asset Sale unless:

     

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

     

    (b)
at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of Qualified
Consideration; and

     

    (c)
the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that
such Asset Sale complies with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

     

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

     

    (a)
to Repay any Secured Obligations or any other Debt of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary secured by a Lien on Property of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed
to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company); provided, however, that to the
extent the proceeds from any Asset Sale, including a Specified Collateral
Disposition, will be allocated pursuant to the terms of any other Second
Priority

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          53

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    Debt
Obligations to Repay or provide for the Repayment of such Second Priority Debt
Obligations, a pro rata portion of such proceeds must, to the extent not
inconsistent with the terms of such other Second Priority Debt Obligations, be
allocated to Repay the Securities pursuant to an Asset Sales Prepayment Offer
and the full amount of such allocated portion (1) will be deemed Excess
Proceeds and (2) will, upon such Asset Sales Prepayment Offer, be deemed
Allocable Excess Proceeds; or

     

    (b)
to reinvest in Additional Assets or Expansion Capital Expenditures (including by
means of an Investment in Additional Assets or Expansion Capital Expenditures by
a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Company or
another Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that
(1) the Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales from
the Company to any Subsidiary must be reinvested in Additional Assets or
Expansion Capital Expenditures of the Company and (2) if the assets that
were the subject of such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, then such Net
Available Cash must be reinvested in Additional Assets that are pledged at the
time as Collateral to secure the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees of the
Securities, subject to the Collateral Documents, or in Expansion Capital
Expenditures to improve assets that constitute Collateral securing the
Securities or Subsidiary Guarantees of the Securities at the time.

     

    Pending
application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.06, which
shall not be required in respect of an Asset Sale that is not a Specified
Collateral Disposition if the Net Available Cash from such Asset Sale is less
than $1.0 million, such Net Available Cash, to the extent not inconsistent
with the terms of any Senior Obligations, shall be invested in Temporary Cash
Investments or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit
indebtedness.  If the Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale that is
not an Asset Sale referenced in paragraph (a) above (including a Specified
Collateral Disposition) equals or exceeds $1.0 million, any Net Available
Cash from such Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph
within 270 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash or that
is not segregated from the general funds of the Company for investment in
identified Additional Assets in respect of a project that shall have been
commenced, and for which binding contractual commitments have been entered into,
prior to the end of such 270-day period and that shall not have been completed
or abandoned shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided, however, that the
amount of any Net Available Cash that ceases to be so segregated as contemplated
above and any Net Available Cash that is segregated in respect of a project that
is abandoned or completed shall also constitute “Excess Proceeds” at the time
any such Net Available Cash ceases to be so segregated or at the time the
relevant project is so abandoned or completed, as applicable; provided further,
however, that
the amount of any Net Available Cash that continues to be segregated for
investment and that is not actually reinvested within 24 months from the date of
the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall also constitute “Excess
Proceeds”.

     

    When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million (taking into
account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company
will

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          54

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    be
required to make an offer to purchase (the “Asset Sales Prepayment
Offer”) the Securities which offer shall be in the amount of the
Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount at
maturity, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures
(including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth
herein.  To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available
Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all
Holders have been given the opportunity to tender their Securities for purchase
in accordance with this Indenture, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may
use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by this Indenture and the
amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

     

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

     

    (a)
the Excess Proceeds; and

     

    (b)
a fraction,

     

    (1)
the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
outstanding on the date of the Asset Sales Prepayment Offer; and

     

    (2)
the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities outstanding on the date of the Asset Sales Prepayment Offer and the
aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date
of the Asset Sales Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of
payment with the Securities and subject to terms and conditions in respect of
Asset Sales similar in all material respects to this covenant and requiring the
Company to make an offer to purchase such Debt or otherwise repay such Debt at
substantially the same time as the Asset Sales Prepayment Offer.

     

    Within
five Business Days after the Company is obligated to make an Asset Sales
Prepayment Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall send
a written notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders, accompanied by such
information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Company in good
faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with
respect to such Asset Sales Prepayment Offer.  Such notice shall
state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date (the “Purchase Date”),
which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed.  Nothing shall prevent the Company from conducting
an Asset Sales Prepayment Offer earlier than as set forth in this
paragraph.

     

    Not
later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sales Prepayment Offer
is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (a) the amount of the Asset
Sales

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          55

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    Prepayment
Offer (the “Offer
Amount”), (b) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the
Asset Sales pursuant to which such Prepayment Offer is being made and
(c) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of clause (b) of
the second paragraph of this Section 4.06.  On or before the
Purchase Date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the
Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) in Temporary Cash Investments
(other than in those enumerated in such clause (b) of the definition of
Temporary Cash Investments), maturing on the last day prior to the Purchase Date
or on the Purchase Date if funds are immediately available by open of business,
an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be held for payment in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4.06.  Upon the expiration of the
period for which the Prepayment Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions
thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the
Company.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Purchase Date,
mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase
price.  In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the
Securities delivered by the Company to the Trustee is less than the Offer
Amount, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver the excess to the Company
immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in
accordance with this Section 4.06.

     

    Holders
electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the
Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent
at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the
Purchase Date.  Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to
the Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting
forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security that was
delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased.  If at the
expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of Securities
surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the
Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis for all Securities (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities
in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be
purchased).  Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall
be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
the Securities surrendered.

     

    At
the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee that are to be accepted
for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating
that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of this Section 4.06.  A Security shall
be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee or the
Paying Agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering
Holder.

     

    The
Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of
Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or
regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this
Section 4.06.  To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          56

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    Section 4.06,
the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06
by virtue thereof.

     

    SECTION
4.07.  Limitation on Restrictions
on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Company
shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual
restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

     

    (a)
pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in
respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the
Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

     

    (b)
make any loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary;
or

     

    (c)
transfer any of its Property to the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary.

     

    The
foregoing limitations will not apply:

     

    (1)
with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c), to restrictions:

     

    (A)
in effect on the Issue Date;

     

    (B)
relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary and existing at the time it became a
Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or
in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which
such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the
Company;

     

    (C)
that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to an agreement
referred to in clause (1)(A) or (B) above or in clause (2)(A) or (B) below;
provided that
such restriction is no less favorable to the Holders in any material respect, as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board
Resolution), than those under the agreement evidencing the Debt so
Refinanced;

     

    (D)
resulting from the Incurrence of any Debt permitted pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided that
(i) the restriction is no less favorable to the Holders in any material
respect, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (as evidenced by a
Board Resolution), than the restrictions of the same type contained in this
Indenture and (ii) the Board of Directors determines (as evidenced by a
Board Resolution) in good faith that such restrictions will not impair the
ability of the Company to make payments of principal and interest on the
Securities when due;

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          57

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    
 

    (E)
existing by reason of applicable law; or

     

    (F)
any contractual requirements incurred with respect to Qualified Receivables
Transactions relating exclusively to a Receivables Entity that, in the good
faith determination of the Board of Directors, are customary for Qualified
Receivables Transactions; and

     

    (2)
with respect to clause (c) only, to restrictions:

     

    (A)
relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured pursuant to
Sections 4.03 and 4.05 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the
Property securing such Debt;

     

    (B)
encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restriction relates solely to the
Property so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation
of such acquisition;

     

    (C)
resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of
leases or customary provisions in other agreements that restrict assignment of
such agreements or rights thereunder; or

     

    (D)
customary restrictions contained in agreements relating to the sale or other
disposition of Property limiting the transfer of such Property pending the
closing of such sale.

     

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

     

    (a)
the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are:

     

    (1)
set forth in writing;

     

    (2)
in the best interest of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
may be; and

     

    (3)
no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction
with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company;

     

    (b)
if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value to the
Affiliate in excess of $25.0 million in any 12-month period, the Board of
Directors

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          58

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (including
a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such
Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such
Affiliate Transaction complies with clauses (a)(2) and (3) of this
Section 4.08 as evidenced by a Board Resolution promptly delivered to the
Trustee; and

     

    (c)
if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value to the
Affiliate in excess of $75.0 million in any 12-month period, the Company obtains
a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the
consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate
Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

     

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

     

    (a)
any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that no more
than 5% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock (on a fully diluted basis)
of any such Restricted Subsidiary is owned by an Affiliate of the Company (other
than a Restricted Subsidiary);

     

    (b)
any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.04 or any
Permitted Investment (other than pursuant to clauses (a)(3), (b), (g), (h), (i),
(k) or (l) of the definition of “Permitted Investment”);

     

    (c)
the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit
plans) for the personal services of and related indemnities provided to
officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company or any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as the Board of Directors in good faith shall
have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or
thereafter to be performed for such compensation to be fair consideration
therefor;

     

    (d)
loans and advances to employees made in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with applicable law and consistent with the past practices of the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided that such
loans and advances do not exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate at any one time
outstanding;

     

    (e)
any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction or any
transaction involving the transfer of accounts receivable of the type specified
in the definition of “Credit Facilities” and permitted under clause (b) of
Section 4.03;

     

    (f)
payments of customary fees by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to Leonard Green & Partners L.P. or any of its Affiliates made for any
corporate advisory services or financial advisory, financing, underwriting or
placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities
including,

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          59

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    without
limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which are approved
by a majority of the Board of Directors in good faith;

     

    (g)
any Affiliate Transaction, if such Affiliate Transaction is with any Person
solely in its capacity as a holder of Debt or Capital Stock of the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, where such Person is treated no more
favorably than any other holder of such Debt or Capital Stock of the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

     

    (h)
any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long
as such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect)
or any transaction contemplated thereby.

     

    SECTION
4.09.  Guarantees by
Subsidiaries.  i) The Company shall cause each Subsidiary that
becomes or is a Collateral Subsidiary Guarantor or an obligor with respect to
any of the Secured Obligations (except a Foreign Subsidiary that becomes an
obligor solely in respect of Debt or other obligations of itself or another
Foreign Subsidiary), in each case, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by becoming
a party to this Indenture, the Second Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement, if such Subsidiary is not already a Subsidiary
Guarantor party thereto, and delivering evidence thereof to the Trustee at the
time such Person becomes a Collateral Subsidiary Guarantor or such an
obligor.

     

    (b)
The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary
Guarantor to Guarantee the payment of any Debt or Capital Stock of the Company
(other than Guarantees permitted pursuant to clauses (j) or (o) of
Section 4.03), except that a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary
Guarantor may Guarantee Debt of the Company; provided
that:

     

    (1)
such Debt and the Debt represented by such Guarantee is permitted by
Section 4.03;

     

    (2)
such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental
indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee of payment of the
Securities by such Restricted Subsidiary and such Guarantee of Debt of the
Company:

     

    (A) unless
such Debt is a Subordinated Obligation, shall be pari passu (or
subordinate) in right of payment to and on substantially the same terms as (or
less favorable to such Debt than) such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee with
respect to the Securities; and

     

    (B) if
such Debt is a Subordinated Obligation, shall be subordinated in right of
payment to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee with respect to the Securities
to at least the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the
Securities.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          60

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (c)
Upon any Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor as described above, such
Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that:

     

    (1)
such Guarantee of the Securities has been duly executed and authorized;
and

     

    (2)
such Guarantee of the Securities constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of such Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including all laws relating
to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to
general principles of equity.

     

    In
addition, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall Guarantee, directly or indirectly,
(1) any Debt of the Company that is subordinate or junior in right of
payment (without regard to any security interest) to any other Debt of the
Company unless such Guarantee is expressly subordinate in right of payment to
the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor or (2) any Debt of
the Company other than Senior Obligations unless such Guarantee is expressly
subordinate in right of payment (without regard to any security interest) to or
ranks pari
passu with, the
Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

     

    SECTION
4.10.  Limitation on Sale and
Leaseback Transactions.  The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction with respect to any Property unless:

     

    (a)
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to:

     

    (1)
Incur Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale
and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.03; and

     

    (2)
create a Lien on such Property securing such Attributable Debt without also
securing the Securities or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to
Section 4.05; and

     

    (b)
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is effected in compliance with
Section 4.06; provided that such
Sale and Leaseback Transaction constitutes an Asset Sale.

     

    SECTION
4.11.  Designation of Restricted
and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  The Board of Directors may
designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
if:

     

    (a)
the Subsidiary to be so designated does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or
own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary and is not required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this
Indenture; and

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          61

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (b)
either:

     

    (1)
the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less;
or

     

    (2)
such designation is effective immediately upon such entity becoming a Subsidiary
of the Company.

     

    Unless
so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a
Subsidiary of the Company will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such
Subsidiary shall not be designated a Restricted Subsidiary and shall be
automatically classified as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if either of the
requirements set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of the second immediately
following paragraph will not be satisfied after giving pro forma effect to such
classification as a Restricted Subsidiary or if such Person is a Subsidiary of
an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

     

    Except
as provided in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, no Restricted
Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  In
addition, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time be
directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder thereof
may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or
cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated
Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien or
other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take
enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary).

     

    The
Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted
Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation,
(x) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to
clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 4.03 and (y) no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result
therefrom.

     

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

     

    (a)
certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the foregoing
provisions; and

     

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

     

    such
filing with the Trustee to occur within 45 days after the end of the fiscal
quarter of the Company in which such designation or redesignation is made (or,
in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal
quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such
fiscal year).

     

    SECTION
4.12.  Additional Security
Documents.  From and after the Issue Date, if the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company executes and delivers in respect of any Property
of such Person any mortgages, deeds of trust, security

    agreements,
pledge agreements or similar instruments to secure Debt or other obligations
that at the time constitute Secured Obligations (except for a Foreign Subsidiary
that does so solely in respect of Debt or other obligations of itself or another
Foreign Subsidiary), then the Company shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to,
execute and deliver substantially identical mortgages, deeds of trust, security
agreements, pledge agreements or similar instruments in order to vest in the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee a perfected second priority security
interest, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Intercreditor Agreement, in
such Property for the benefit of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee on
behalf of the Holders of the Securities, among others, and thereupon all
provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral will be deemed to relate
to such Property to the same extent and with the same force and
effect.

     

    SECTION
4.13.  Change of
Control.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase
all or any part of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the offer described
below (the “Change of
Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase
Price”) equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date (subject to
the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date).  If the purchase date is
on or after a record date and on or before the relevant interest payment date,
the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the person or entity in
whose name the Security is registered at the close of business on that record
date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Securities
shall be subject to purchase.

     

    (b)
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall (1) cause
a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow
Jones News Service or similar business news service in the United States and
(2) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder,
at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, a notice
stating:  (A) that a Change of Control Offer is being made
pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that all Securities timely tendered will
be accepted for payment; (B) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the
purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of
applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”); (C) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the
Change of Control (including, to the extent reasonably practicable, information
with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after
giving effect to the Change of Control); and (D) the procedures that
Holders must follow in order to tender their Securities (or portions thereof)
for payment and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an
election to tender Securities (or portions thereof) for payment.

     

    (c)
Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the
Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent
at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the
Change of Control Payment Date.  Holders shall be entitled to withdraw
their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one
Business Day prior to the Change

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          63

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    of
Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security that
was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased.

     

    (d)
On or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall irrevocably
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of
its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust) in cash an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price
payable to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 4.13.  On the Change of
Control Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Securities or
portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by
the Company for payment.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on
the Change of Control Payment Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering
Holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price.  In the event that the
aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by
the Company to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent,
as the case may be, shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after
the Change of Control Payment Date.

     

    (e)
The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of
Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or
regulations in connection with the purchase of Securities pursuant to this
Section 4.13.  To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Section 4.13, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
this Section 4.13 by virtue thereof.

     

    SECTION
4.14.  Further Instruments and
Acts.  Upon request of the Trustee or as necessary, the Company
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 purpose
of this Indenture.

     

    SECTION
4.15.  Covenant
Suspension.  (a)  During any period of time
that:

     

    (1)
the Securities have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies
and

     

    (2)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

     

    the
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following
Sections of this Indenture: Section 4.03, Section 4.04,
Section 4.06, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, clauses (a)(1) and
(b) of Section 4.10, clause (x) of the fourth paragraph (and such
clause (x) as referred to in the second paragraph) of
Section 4.11, and clause (a)(5) of Section 5.01 (collectively,
the “Suspended
Covenants”).

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          64

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (b)
Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of permitted Liens under
Section 4.05 during any Suspension Period (as defined below) and without
limiting the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to Incur
Indebtedness during any Suspension Period, to the extent that calculations in
Section 4.05 refer to Section 4.03, such calculations shall be made as
though Section 4.03 remains in effect during the Suspension
Period.  In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.15 and, on any subsequent date (the
“Reversion
Date”), one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or
downgrades the ratings assigned to the Securities below the required Investment
Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then
the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to
the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the
Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension
Period.”  Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be
reinstated, no Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure
to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period. On the
Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be
classified to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the first
paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of
Section 4.03 (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred
thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred
prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion
Date).  To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred
pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in
the second paragraph of Section 4.03, such Debt will be deemed to have been
outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under
clause (k) of the second paragraph of Section 4.03.  Calculations
made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted
Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had
been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue
Date.  Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension
Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under
the first paragraph of Section 4.04 following any Reversion Date, and the
items specified in clauses (c)(1) through (c)(4) of the first paragraph of
Section 4.04 will increase the amount available to be made under the first
paragraph thereof following any Reversion Date.  For purposes of
determining compliance with the first five paragraphs of Section 4.06, on
the Reversion Date, the Net Available Cash from all Asset Sales not applied in
accordance with the covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero.

when the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for a period
of 30 days;

    (c)
the Company fails to comply with Article V;

     

    (d)

    (e)
a default under any Debt by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that
results in acceleration of the final maturity of such Debt, or the failure to
pay any such Debt at final maturity (giving effect to applicable grace periods),
in an aggregate amount in excess of $35.0 million or its foreign currency
equivalent at the time (the “cross acceleration
provisions”);

     

    (f)
the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law:

     

    (1)
commences a voluntary case;

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          68

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (2)
consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary

    (3)

    (4)

    or

insolvency;

     

    (g)
a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy

    (1)
is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an
involuntary case;

     

    (2)
appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any
substantial part of its property; or

     

    (3)
orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary;

     

    and
in each such case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 45
days; or

     

    (h)
any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in
excess of $35.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time is
rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and shall not be
waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 30 consecutive days during
which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect (the “judgment default
provisions”);

     

    (i)
any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force
and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority
Collateral Documents and this Indenture as each may be amended from time to
time) and such default continues for 20 days after notice or any Subsidiary
Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations
under its Subsidiary Guarantee (the “guarantee
provisions”); and

     

    (j)
the material impairment of the security interests under the Second Priority
Collateral Documents (other than in accordance with the terms of the Second
Priority Collateral Documents and this Indenture as each may be amended from
time to time) for any reason other than the satisfaction in full of all
obligations under this Indenture and discharge of the Second Priority Collateral
Documents and this Indenture or any security interest created thereunder shall
be declared invalid or unenforceable or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
asserting, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such
security interest is invalid or unenforceable (the “security default
provisions”).

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          69

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

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

     

    A
Default under clause (d), (i) or (j) is not an Event of Default until the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding notify the Company (and in the case of such notice
by Holders, the Trustee) of the Default and the Company does not cure such
Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.  Such
notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such
notice is a “Notice of Default”.

     

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

     

    SECTION
6.02.  Acceleration.  If
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities (other than an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) with respect to the
Company) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee by notice to the
Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount at maturity of
all the Securities then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the
date of acceleration on all the Securities to be due and
payable.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall
be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) with respect to the Company occurs, the
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities shall,
automatically and without any action by the Trustee or any Holder, become and be
immediately due and payable.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee and the
Company may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration 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 principal, premium or
interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.  No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

     

    SECTION
6.03.  Other
Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of
or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of
the Securities or this Indenture.

     

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

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          70

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    SECTION
6.04.  Waiver of Past
Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an
existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on a Security or (ii) a
Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended
without the consent of each Holder affected.  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.

     

    SECTION
6.05.  Control by
Majority.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then 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 with respect to the
Securities.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that
the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or
would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction.  Prior to taking any action or
following any direction hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses
caused by taking or not taking such action.

     

    SECTION
6.06.  Limitation on
Suits.  A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Securities unless:

     

    (1)
such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default;

     

    (2)
the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding shall have made a written request, and such Holder or Holders shall
have offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to pursue a
remedy; and

     

    (3)
the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding and has not received from
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60
days after such notice, request and offer.

     

    The
foregoing limitations on the pursuit of remedies by a Holder shall not apply to
a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of the principal of
and premium, if any, or interest payable with respect to such Security on or
after the applicable due date specified in such Security.  A Holder
may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to
obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

     

    SECTION
6.07.  Rights of Holders to Receive
Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and
interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          71

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

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

     

    SECTION
6.08.  Collection Suit by
Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any
unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in
Section 7.07.

     

    SECTION
6.09.  Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or
applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any
Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Holders (it being understood it
shall be under no obligation to do so), to pay to the Trustee any amount due it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07.

     

    SECTION
6.10.  Priorities.  If
the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it
shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

     

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

     

    SECOND:  to
Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively;
and

     

    THIRD:  to
the Company.

     

    The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
pursuant to this Section 6.10.  At least 15 days before such
record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that
states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

     

    SECTION
6.11.  Undertaking for
Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
the party litigant.  This Section 6.11 does not

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          72

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    apply
to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a
suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities.

     

    SECTION
6.12.  Waiver of Stay or Extension
Laws.  The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) 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 wherever enacted, now or
at any time hereafter in force, that 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 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
6.13.  Enforcement of
Remedies.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any
enforcement of the Guarantees under the Second Priority Guarantee Agreement or
any remedies with respect to the Second Priority Collateral under the Second
Priority Collateral Documents is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement.

    SECTION
7.01.  Duties of
Trustee.  (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as

in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, in the case of
certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be
furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but
need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations stated
therein).

Section 7.01;

     

    (2)

    (f)

    (g)

its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers.

     

    (h)
Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the
liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the

of this Article VII shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Registrar,
Paying Agent and Security Custodian.

     

    (i)
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of
Default unless (i) the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the

    SECTION
7.02.  Rights of
Trustee.  (a)  The Trustee may conclusively rely on
any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper person.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in the document.  The Trustee may, however, in its
discretion make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further
inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney.

     

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

of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the
Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from

expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction.

     

    (h)
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of
Default unless a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written

at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the
Securities and this Indenture.

     

    (i)

    SECTION
7.03.  Individual Rights of
Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not

with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10
and 7.11.

    SECTION
7.05.  Notice of
Defaults.  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after it is
known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the
Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold
the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Holders.

     

    SECTION
7.06.  Reports by Trustee to
Holders.  Within 60 days after February 1 each year
beginning with February 1, 2010, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a
brief report dated as of such February 1 that complies with TIA
§ 313(a), if and to the extent required by such subsection.  The
Trustee shall also comply with TIA § 313(b).

     

    A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with
the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are
listed.

     

    The
Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become
listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

     

    SECTION
7.07.  Compensation and
Indemnity.  The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
for its services.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company
and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel,
accountants and experts.  The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and administration of this
trust and the performance of its duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Trust Officer has received
notice for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          76

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    not
relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder unless the Company has been
prejudiced thereby.  The Company shall defend the claim, and the
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made by the
Trustee without the Company’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld.  All indemnifications and releases from liability granted
hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors and assigns.

     

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

     

    The
Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive
the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge or termination of
this Indenture.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence
of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the
Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under the Bankruptcy Law.

     

    The
provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.

     

    SECTION
7.08.  Replacement of
Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying
the Company.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities the outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the
Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee; provided that so long
as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall have the right to consent to the successor Trustee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall remove the Trustee
if:

     

    (1)
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

     

    (2)
the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

     

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

     

    (4)
the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

     

    If
the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and such
Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being
referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          77

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07.

     

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

     

    If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition at the
expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     

    Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the
retiring Trustee.

     

    SECTION
7.09.  Successor Trustee by
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 or banking association, the resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall
be the successor Trustee.

     

    In
case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the
name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the
Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which
it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the
certificate of the Trustee shall have.

     

    SECTION
7.10.  Eligibility;
Disqualification.  The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the
requirements of TIA § 310(a).  The Trustee shall have (or, in the
case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related
bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most
recent published annual report of condition.  The Trustee shall comply
with TIA § 310(b), subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; provided, however, that there
shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          78

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    of
interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if
the requirements for such exclusion set forth in
TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

     

    SECTION
7.11.  Preferential Collection of
Claims Against Company.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA
§ 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§ 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be
subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

    Discharge of Indenture;
Defeasance

     

    SECTION
8.01.  Discharge of Liability on
Securities; Defeasance.

     

    (a)  When
(i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other
than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or
(ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at
maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to
Article III and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds
sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities,
including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than
Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the
Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this
Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further
effect.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the
Company.

     

    (b)
Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate
(i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance
option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03,
4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 4.14 and the
operation of Sections 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g), 6.01(h), 6.01(i) and
6.01(j) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(f) and (g), with respect only to
Significant Subsidiaries) and the limitations contained in
Section 5.01(a)(5) (“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 Securities may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.  If the Company
exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d)
(with respect to the covenants of Article IV identified in the immediately
preceding paragraph), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g), 6.01(h), 6.01(i) or 6.01(j)
(with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries in the case of Sections 6.01(f)
and 6.01(g)) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with the
limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(5).  If the Company
exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the
Second Priority Lien, as it pertains to the Securities, will be released and
each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee, as it pertains to the Securities.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          79

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    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.

     

    (c)
Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in
Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until
the Securities have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Company’s
obligations in Sections 7.07 and 8.05 shall survive such satisfaction and
discharge.

     

    SECTION
8.02.  Conditions to
Defeasance.  The Company may exercise its legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

     

    (a)
the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

     

    (b)
the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants expressing their opinion that
the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the
deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without
investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all the Securities to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

     

    (c)
123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default
specified in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) occurs with respect to the Company
or any other Person making such deposit which is continuing at the end of the
period;

     

    (d)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of
such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

     

    (e)
such deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement or
instrument binding on the Company;

     

    (f)
the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a
regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940;

     

    (g)
in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that

     

    (1)
the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling;
or

     

    (2)
since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable
Federal income tax law, to the effect, in either case, 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

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          80

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such defeasance had not occurred;

     

    (h)
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 purposes as a result of
such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

     

    (i)
the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and
discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article VIII have been
complied with.

     

    Before
or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with
Article III.

     

    SECTION
8.03.  Application of Trust
Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S.
Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this
Article VIII.  It shall apply the deposited money and the money
from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance
with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities.

     

    SECTION
8.04.  Repayment to
Company.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn
over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at
any time.

     

    Subject
to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of
principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter,
Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors.

     

    SECTION
8.05.  Indemnity for Government
Obligations.  The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the
Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against
deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on
such U.S. Government Obligations.

     

    SECTION
8.06.  Reinstatement.  If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII 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 Securities shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this
Article VIII 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 VIII; provided, however, that, if the
Company

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          81

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    has
made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section 9.01.

     

    SECTION
9.02.  With
Consent of Holders.  (a)  The Company, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may

Indenture, as provided in Section 6.04), with the consent of the Holders of
at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange offer for the Securities).  However, without the consent of
each Holder affected thereby, an amendment may not:

     

    (1)
amend this Indenture to reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders are
required to consent to an amendment or waiver;

    (4)

enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities or any
Subsidiary Guarantee (except as set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement);

     

    (6)
amend this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee to subordinate the Securities
or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any other obligation of the Company or the
applicable Subsidiary Guarantor (except in the case of the Second Priority
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, as permitted by paragraph (b)
below);

     

    (7)
amend this Indenture to reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any
Security or change the time at which any Security may be redeemed in accordance
with Article III;

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          83

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (8)
amend this Indenture to reduce the premium payable upon a Change of Control or,
at any time after a Change of Control has occurred, amend the definition of
“Change of Control” or change the time at which any Change of Control Offer
relating thereto must be made or at which the Securities must be repurchased
pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; or

     

    (9)
at any time after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the
Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, amend this Indenture to change the time at
which such Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the Securities must be
repurchased pursuant thereto.

     

    (b)
Without limiting the foregoing, the Holders will be deemed to have consented for
purposes of the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including for purposes of
determining actions of the Second Priority Instructing Group) to (i) any
amendment, waiver or other modification (including any consent thereunder) of
the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including any annexes, exhibits or
schedules thereto) that would not be adverse to the Holders in any material
respect, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (as evidenced by a
Board Resolution), and (ii) to any of the following amendments, waivers and
other modifications to the Second Priority Collateral Documents (the “Second Priority Collateral
Documents Amendments”):

     

    (1)
an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement to modify the restriction on changes
to Second Priority Collateral Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents
without the consent of holders of Senior Obligations or their representatives
(but without modifying any provisions relating to consent of Holders or other
Second Priority Debt to various actions);

     

    (2)
to the extent such amendment, waiver or modification relates to the amount
(including amounts of Senior Obligations and Second Priority Debt) or the terms
of Debt (including as reflected in related definitions such as “Replacement
Second Priority Debt”) that may be secured by Liens on the Collateral, as may be
consented to by the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the applicable
Second Priority Collateral Document (but without limiting any of the restrictive
covenants and related definitions contained in this Indenture);

     

    (3)
an amendment to the Second Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement to
subordinate, on comparable terms to those provided therein with respect to
Senior Loan Obligations, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the
Second Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement to the prior payment when due of
the guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Additional Senior Debt; provided that such
amendment applies equally with respect to all Second Priority Debt;

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          84

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

     

    (4)
an amendment to the Second Priority Collateral Documents to provide for a class
of Secured Obligations having rights in respect of the Collateral that are
subordinated to the Second Priority Debt Obligations to at least the same extent
that the Second Priority Debt Obligations are subordinated to the Senior
Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (as evidenced by
a Board Resolution); provided that
(A) such Debt is not secured by Liens on any assets other than Collateral
and (B) to the extent such Secured Obligations represent Debt of a

an amendment, waiver or modification permitted pursuant to
Section 9.01.

     

    At

    by
the Company to give effect to any such amendment, waiver or modification.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent or deemed consent shall be deemed
or construed to represent an amendment or waiver, in whole or in part, of any
provision of this Indenture or the Securities.

     

    The
foregoing shall not limit the right of the Company to amend, waive or otherwise
modify the Second Priority Collateral Documents in accordance with their
terms.

     

    (c)
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, (x) Collateral securing a
Subsidiary Guarantee of the Securities or (y) a Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Securities provided by a Subsidiary Guarantor may be released only in respect of
the Securities:

     

    (i) upon
request of the Company without consent of any Holder unless, within 20 Business
Days after written notice of the proposed release of such (1) Collateral
from the Liens securing Subsidiary Guarantees of the Securities or
(2) Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is mailed to the Trustee and
the Holders, Holders of 25% of the outstanding principal amount of Securities
deliver to the Company a written objection to such release; or

     

    (ii) with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

     

    Under
the circumstances described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Holders shall also be
deemed to have consented to such release for purposes of any consent required
under the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including for purposes of
determining actions of the Second Priority Instructing Group).

     

    At
the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents,
instructions or instruments evidencing the consent of the Holders to such
release.  The Trustee, in its capacity as Second Priority
Representative for Holders, shall take such action under the Second Priority
Collateral Documents or otherwise as may be reasonably requested by the Company
to give effect to any such release.

     

    The
consent of the Holders of the Securities is not necessary to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment.  It shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

     

    After
an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register a notice
briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to
all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of
an amendment under this Section.

     

    SECTION
9.03.  Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act.  Every amendment to this Indenture or the
Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

    SECTION
9.04.  Revocation and Effect of
Consents and Waivers.  A consent to an amendment or a waiver by
a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that
Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not
made on the Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder
may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the
Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver becomes effective.  After an amendment or waiver
becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.  An amendment or waiver
becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the
Trustee.

     

    The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action
described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this
Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to
take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after
such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for
more than 120 days after such record date.

     

    SECTION
9.05.  Notation on or Exchange of
Securities.  If an amendment changes the terms of a Security,
the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver such Security to
the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the
Security regarding the changed terms and return such Security to the
Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines,
the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.  Failure
to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the
validity of such amendment.

     

    SECTION
9.06.  Trustee To Sign
Amendments.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment or release
authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or release does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee.  If such amendment or release does adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may but
need not sign it.  In signing such amendment or release the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to
receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
amendment or release is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

     

    SECTION
9.07.  Payment for
Consent.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company
shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration,
whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be
paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame
set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or
agreement.

originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time
in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture, authorizes and

Indenture.

     

    Subject
to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, the
Trustee is authorized and empowered to institute and maintain, or direct the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee to institute and maintain, such suits and
proceedings as it may deem reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Second
Priority Liens or the Second Priority Collateral Documents to which the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee or Trustee is a party or to prevent any impairment
of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Second
Priority Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings
as the Trustee may deem reasonably expedient, at the Company’s sole cost and
expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders
of Securities in the Collateral, including power to institute and maintain suits
or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative
or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment,
rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to
the interests of Holders or the Trustee.

will be resold initially only to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the
Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and in reliance on Regulation S under the

executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in this
Indenture.  The Rule 144A Global Security, IAI Global Security,
and Regulation S Global Security are collectively referred to herein as
“Global Securities.”  The aggregate principal amount of the Global
Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made
on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter
provided.

     

    (b)  Book-Entry

    (b) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s
instructions or held by the Trustee as Securities Custodian.

     

    Members
of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights
under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by
the Depository or by the Trustee as Securities Custodian or under such Global
Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the
Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such
Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial
interest in any Global Security.

     

    (c)  Definitive

Agreement, for a like principal amount of Initial Securities or Private Exchange
Securities, as applicable, upon a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company.  Such order shall specify the amount of the
Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial
Securities or Exchange Securities.

     

    2.3  Transfer and
Exchange.  (a)  Transfer and Exchange of
Definitive Securities.  When Definitive Securities are
presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request:

     

    (x) 
to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or

     

    (y)  to
exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal amount of Definitive

    the
Registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as
requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the
Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

     

    (i)  shall
be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing;
and

    (ii)  if

transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are
accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as
applicable:

     

    (A)  if
such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for
registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from
such Holder to that effect; or

     

    (B)  if
such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification
to that effect; or

     

    (C)  if
such Definitive Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from
registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in
reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth
on the reverse of the Initial Security) and (ii) if the Company so requests
as provided in the form set forth on the reverse of the Initial Security, an
opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the
compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in

Global Securities.  (i)  The transfer and exchange of
Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depository, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions
on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository
therefor.  A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security
shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s
procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the
Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security, and
such account shall be credited in accordance with such instructions with a
beneficial interest in the Global Security, and the account of the Person making
the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in
the Global Security being transferred.  In the case of a transfer of a
beneficial interest in a Global Security to an IAI, the transferee must furnish
a signed letter to the Trustee containing certain representations and agreements
in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

     

    (ii)  If
the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global
Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar
shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal
amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and
the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which
such interest is being transferred.

     

    (iii)  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in
Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by
the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of
the

    Depository
to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or
any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor
Depository.

     

    (iv)  In
the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant
to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities,
such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are
substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the
certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Securities
intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or
such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as
the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted
by the Company.

INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR HOLDING THIS SECURITY AGREES THAT IT WILL
FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION
AS THEY MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT TRANSFER BY IT OF THIS SECURITY
COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.  THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY
PURCHASING THIS SECURITY, REPRESENTS AND AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY
THAT IT IS (1) A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF
RULE 144A OR (2) PURCHASING FROM A PERSON NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE INITIAL
DISTRIBUTION OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR SECURITY), THAT IT IS AN
INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1),

    Each
Definitive Security will also bear the following additional legend:

     

    “IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND
TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT
MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING
RESTRICTIONS.”

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (ii) 
Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any
Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act:

     

    (A)  in
the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is a Definitive Security, the
Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted
Security for a Security that does not bear the legends set forth above and
rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security;
and

     

    (B)  in
the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is represented by a Global
Security, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such
Transfer Restricted Security for a Security that does not bear the legends set
forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer
Restricted Security,

     

    in
either case, if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its
request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such
certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Initial
Security).

     

    (iii)  After
a transfer of any Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case
may be, during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement
with respect to such Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities, all
requirements pertaining to restricted securities legends on such Initial
Security or such Private Exchange Security will cease to apply, and an Initial
Security or Private Exchange Security, as the case may be, in global form
without restricted security legends will be available to the transferee of the
beneficial interests of such Initial Securities or Private Exchange
Securities.  Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances described
in this paragraph, the Company will deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the
Trustee instructing the Trustee to issue Securities without restricted security
legends.

     

    (iv)  Upon
the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial
Securities pursuant to which certain Holders of such Initial Securities are
offered Exchange Securities in exchange for their Initial Securities, Exchange
Securities in global form without the restricted security legends will be
available to Holders or beneficial owners that exchange such Initial Securities
(or beneficial interests therein) in such Registered Exchange
Offer.  Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in
this paragraph, the Company will deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee
instructing the Trustee to issue Securities without restricted security
legends.

     

    (d)  Cancellation or Adjustment
of Global Security.  At such time as all beneficial interests
in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Securities,
redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned by the
Depository to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the
Trustee.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial
interest in a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed,
repurchased or canceled, the principal

    amount
of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced, and an
adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then
the Securities Custodian for such Global Security) with respect to such Global
Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such
reduction.

     

    (e)  Obligations with Respect to
Transfers and Exchanges of Securities.

     

    (i)  To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and Global Securities at
the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s request.

     

    (ii)
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Sections 3.06, 4.06, 4.13 and 9.05 of this Indenture).

     

    (iii)  The
Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or
exchange of any Security for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a
notice of redemption or an offer to repurchase Securities or 15 days before an
interest payment date.

     

    (iv)  Prior
to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may
deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute
owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     

    (v)  All
Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer
or exchange.

     

    (f)  No Obligation of the
Trustee.

     

    (i)  The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a
Global Security, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or any other
Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its
nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership
interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant,
member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any
notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any
amount, under or with respect to such Securities.  All notices and
communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders
under the Securities shall be given or made only to the registered

    Holders
(which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global
Security).  The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security
shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules
and procedures of the Depository.  The Trustee may rely and shall be
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with
respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

     

    (ii)  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
Security (including any transfers between or among Depository participants,
members or beneficial owners 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.

amount equal to all or part of the principal amount of such Global Security, in
exchange for such Global Security, only if such transfer complies with

unwilling or unable to continue as a Depository for such Global Security or if
at any time the Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the
Exchange Act, and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within
90 days of such notice, or (ii) a Default or an Event of Default has

of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive
Securities of authorized denominations.  Definitive Securities issued

Section shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of
$2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in
such names as the Depository shall direct.  Any Definitive Security

Senior Secured Notes due 2019

     

    1.  Interest

     

    (a)  RITE
AID CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein
called the “Company”), promises
to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum
shown above.  The Company will pay interest semiannually on
April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15,
2009.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from
October 26, 2009.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal at the rate per annum borne by the Securities plus 1% per
annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate
per annum borne by the Securities to the extent lawful.

     

    (b) Special
Interest.  The holder of this Security is entitled to the
benefits of a Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October
26, 2009, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and the
Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b)
but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration
Rights Agreement.  In the event that (i) neither the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
may be, is filed with the Commission on or prior to the date which is
150 days following the date of the original issuance of the Securities,
(ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration
Statement, as the case may be, is not declared effective within 210 days
after the original issuance of the Securities, (iii) if the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is declared effective, the Registered Exchange Offer is
not consummated on or prior to 270 days after the date of the original
issuance of Securities, (iv) if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
are required to file the Shelf Registration Statement, or designate an existing
Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the offer and sale of Restricted
Securities in accordance with Section 2 of the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor does not so file the Shelf
Registration Statement on or prior to the 30th day after the Company’s
obligation to file such Shelf Registration Statement arises, (v) the
applicable Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but shall
thereafter cease to be effective (at any time that the Company is obligated to
maintain the effectiveness thereof) without being again effective within
30 days or being succeeded within 30 days by an additional
Registration Statement filed and declared effective, provided that such
30-day period shall toll during a Suspension Period or during any Shelf
Suspension Period, or (vi) any Suspension Periods exceed, in the aggregate, 75
days during any 365-day period (each such event referred to in clauses (i)
through (vi), a “Registration Default”), the Company shall be obligated to pay
Additional Interest from and including the date on which the first such
Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all
Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the
applicable

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    principal
amount of Securities held by such Holder for the first 90-day period immediately
following the occurrence of a Registration Default, and such rate will increase
by an additional 0.25% with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all
Registration Defaults have been cured, provided that the
maximum additional rate may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum.

     

    2.  Method of
Payment

     

    The
Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the
Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 1
or October 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities
are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment
date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments.  The Company will pay principal and interest in
money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments in respect
of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal and
interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the Depository.  The Company will make all
payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal and interest),
by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that
payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least
$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if
such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later
than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or
such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

     

    3.  Paying Agent and
Registrar

     

    Initially,
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a banking association organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), will act
as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may appoint and change any
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice.  The Company
or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

     

    4.  Indenture

     

    The
Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of October 26,
2009 (the “Indenture”), among
the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and the
Trustee.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”).  Terms
defined in the Indenture and not defined in the Securities have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all
such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of those terms.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    The
Securities are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the
Company.  The Company’s obligations under the Securities are
Guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, by the Subsidiary Guarantors
pursuant to Subsidiary Guarantees, subject to release of the Subsidiary
Guarantees as provided in the Indenture or such Subsidiary
Guarantee.  This Security is one of the Original Securities referred
to in the Indenture issued in an aggregate principal amount of
$270,000,000.  The Securities include the Original Securities, an
unlimited aggregate principal amount of additional Initial Securities that may
be issued under the Indenture, and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange
for Initial Securities.  The Original Securities, such additional
Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of
securities under the Indenture.  The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay
dividends and other distributions, incur Debt, enter into consensual
restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such
Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with
Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales.  The Indenture
also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Subsidiary
Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or sell,
transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of the Property of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor.

     

    5.  Optional
Redemption

     

    The
Company may choose to redeem the Securities at any time.  If it does
so, it may redeem all or any portion of the Securities, at once or over time,
after giving the required notice under the Indenture.

     

    To
redeem the Securities prior to October 15, 2014, the Company must pay a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption
Date).  Any notice to Holders of such a redemption shall include the
appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but need not include the
Redemption Price itself.  The actual redemption price must be set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two
Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.

     

    “Applicable Premium”
means, with respect to any Security on any Redemption Date, the greater of
(i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Security and (ii) the excess
of (A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) the Redemption
Price of such Security at October 15, 2014 (such Redemption Price being set
forth in the table below) plus (2) all required interest payments due on
such Security through October 15, 2014 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest),
computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate on such Redemption
Date plus 75 basis points over (B) the principal amount of such
Security.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    “Treasury Rate” means,
as of any Redemption Date, the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of
United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and
published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)
that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the
Redemption Date (or, if such statistical release is no longer published, any
publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the
period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2014; provided, however, that if the
period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2014 is less than one year, the
weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

     

    Beginning
on October 15, 2014, the Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time
or in part from time to time at the following Redemption Prices (expressed in
percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date), if redeemed
during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of the years set forth
below:

     

    

    
      	 
      	
              Redemption
      Year

            	 
      	
              Price

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2014

            	 
      	
              105.125%

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2015

            	 
      	
              103.417%

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2016

            	 
      	
              101.708%

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2017
      and thereafter

            	 
      	
              100.000%

            	 
      

    

    

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to October 15, 2012, the
Company may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Securities (including Securities issued after October 26, 2009, if any) with the
proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, at a Redemption Price
equal to 110.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption
Date); provided, however, that after
giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate
principal amount of the Securities (including Securities issued after October
26, 2009, if any) remains outstanding.  Any such redemption shall be
made within 75 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice.

     

    If
the optional Redemption Date is on or after a record date and on or before the
relevant Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be
paid to the person or entity in whose name the Security is registered at the
close of business on that record date, and no additional interest will be
payable to Holders whose Securities shall be subject to repurchase.

     

    6.  Sinking
Fund

     

    The
Securities are not subject to any sinking fund.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    7.  Notice of
Redemption

     

    Notice
of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address.  Securities in
denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000.  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price
of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed
on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the
redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such
date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof)
called for redemption.

     

    8.  (a)  Repurchase of Securities at
the Option of Holders upon Change of Control

     

    Upon
a Change of Control, any Holder will have the right, subject to certain
conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or
any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the
Indenture.

     

    8.  (b)  Prepayment Offer Upon Asset
Sale

     

    When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million (taking into
account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company will be
required to make an offer to purchase (the “Asset Sales Prepayment
Offer”) the Securities, which offer shall be in the amount of the
Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount at
maturity, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with
the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth
in the Indenture.  To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net
Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided
that all Holders have been given the opportunity to tender their Securities for
purchase in accordance with the Indenture, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by the
Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

     

    9.  Guarantees;
Security

     

    The
Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, the Securities will be
guaranteed pursuant to Subsidiary Guarantees.  Subsidiary Guarantees
may be released in various circumstances, including in certain circumstances
without the consent of Holders.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    The
Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, the Securities or
Subsidiary Guarantees must be secured by Liens on certain Property of the
Company or Subsidiary Guarantors.  Liens securing the Securities or
Subsidiary Guarantees may be released in various circumstances, including in
certain circumstances without the consent of Holders.

     

    10.  Denominations; Transfer;
Exchange

     

    The
Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and
whole multiples in excess thereof of $1,000.  A Holder may transfer or
exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture.  Upon any
transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to
pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The
Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected
for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the
portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any
Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be
redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

     

    11.  Persons Deemed
Owners

     

    The
registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all
purposes.

     

    12.  Unclaimed
Money

     

    If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years,
the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its
written request unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person.  After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must
look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

     

    13.  Discharge and
Defeasance

     

    Subject
to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal
and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may
be.

     

    14.  Amendment, Waiver, Deemed
Consents, Releases

     

    Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, the
Second Priority Collateral Documents or the Securities may be amended without
prior notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and
(ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities.  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in
the Indenture, without the consent of any Holders, the

    Company,
when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee
may amend the Indenture or the Securities and, subject to any consent required
by the terms of the applicable Second Priority Collateral Documents, the Second
Priority Collateral Documents to: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect
or inconsistency; (ii) provide for the assumption by a successor
corporation of the obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under
the Indenture or any Second Priority Collateral Documents; (iii) provide
for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated
Securities; provided, however, that the
uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of
Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the
uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the
Code; (iv) add additional Guarantees with respect to the Securities or
release Subsidiary Guarantors from Subsidiary Guarantees as provided by the
terms of the Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees; (v) further secure the
Securities (and if such security interest includes Liens on Property of the
Company, provide for releases of such Property on terms comparable to the terms
on which Collateral constituting Property of Subsidiary Guarantors may be
released), release any Collateral used, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Collateral
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, add to the covenants of the Company
or the Subsidiary Guarantors for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Company under the Indenture; (vi) in the
case of the Indenture, make any change that does not adversely affect the rights
of any Holder; (vii) make any change to the subordination provisions of a
Subsidiary Guarantee or any Second Priority Collateral Documents that would
limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Obligations
under such provisions; (viii) make any change to comply with any
requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or (iv) to conform the text of the
Indenture or the Securities to any provision of the “Description of Notes”
contained in the Offering Memorandum.

     

    Without
limiting the foregoing, the Holders will be deemed to have consented for
purposes of the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including for purposes of
determining actions of the Second Priority Instructing Group) to (i) any
amendment, waiver or other modification (including any consent thereunder) of
the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including any annexes, exhibits or
schedules thereto) that would not be adverse to the Holders in any material
respect, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (as evidenced by a
Board Resolution) and (ii) to specified Second Priority Collateral
Documents Amendments.

     

    At
the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents,
instructions or instruments evidencing such deemed consent of the Holders. The
Trustee, in its capacity as Second Priority Representative to Holders, shall
take such action under the Second Priority Collateral Documents as may be
requested by the Company to give effect to any such amendment, waiver or
modification.

     

    In
addition and without limiting the foregoing, (x) Collateral securing a
Subsidiary Guarantee of the Securities or (y) a Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Securities provided by a Subsidiary Guarantor may be released only in respect of
the Securities

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (i) upon
request of the Company without consent of any Holder unless, within 20 Business
Days after written notice of the proposed release of such (1) Collateral
from the Liens securing Subsidiary Guarantees of the Securities or
(2) Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is mailed to the Trustee and
the Holders, Holders of 25% of the outstanding principal amount of Securities
deliver to the Company a written objection to such release or (ii) with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding.

     

    Under
the circumstances described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Holders
shall also be deemed to have consented to such release for purposes of any
consent required under the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including for
purposes of determining actions of the Second Priority Instructing
Group).

     

    At
the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents,
instructions or instruments evidencing the consent of the Holders to such
release.  The Trustee, in its capacity as Second Priority
Representative for Holders, shall take such action under the Second Priority
Collateral Documents or otherwise as may be requested by the Company to give
effect to any such release.

     

    15.  Defaults and
Remedies

     

    If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding,
subject to certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately
due and payable.  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are
Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being immediately due and
payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default without any further act of
the Trustee or any Holder.

     

    Holders
of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or
the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or
security.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the
Indenture.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind any declaration of 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 principal,
premium or interest that has become due solely because of the
acceleration.

     

    16.  Trustee Dealings with the
Company

     

    Subject
to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the
Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

    17.  No Recourse Against
Others

     

    A
director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or
the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation.  By accepting a Security, each
Securityholder waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities.

     

    18.  Successors

     

    Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, when a successor assumes all
the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities and the Indenture in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the predecessor will be released
from those obligations.

     

    19.  Authentication

     

    This
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the
other side of this Security.

     

    20.  Abbreviations

     

    Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such
as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN
(=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST
(=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

     

    21.  Governing
Law

     

    THIS
SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAW.

     

    22.  CUSIP
Numbers

     

    Pursuant
to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on
the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Securityholders.  No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

Senior Secured Notes due 2019

     

    1.  Interest

     

    RITE
AID CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein
called the “Company”), promises
to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum
shown above.  The Company will pay interest semiannually on
April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15,
2009.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from
October 26, 2009.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal at the rate per annum borne by the Securities plus 1% per
annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate
per annum borne by the Securities to the extent lawful.

     

    2.  Method of
Payment

     

    The
Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the
Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 1
or October 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities
are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment
date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments.  The Company will pay principal and interest in
money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments in respect
of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal and
interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the Depository.  The Company will make all
payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal and interest),
by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that
payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least
$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if
such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the
Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later
than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or
such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

     

    3.  Paying Agent and
Registrar

     

    Initially,
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a banking association organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), will act
as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may appoint and change any
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice.  The Company
or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    4.  Indenture

     

    The
Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of October 26,
2009 (the “Indenture”), among
the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and the
Trustee.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”).  Terms
defined in the Indenture and not defined in the Securities have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all
such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of those terms.

     

    The
Securities are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the
Company.  The Company’s obligations under the Securities are
Guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, by the Subsidiary Guarantors
pursuant to Subsidiary Guarantees, subject to release of the Subsidiary
Guarantees as provided in the Indenture or such Subsidiary
Guarantee.  This Security is one of the Original Securities referred
to in the Indenture issued in an aggregate principal amount of
$270,000,000.  The Securities include the Original Securities, an
unlimited aggregate principal amount of additional Initial Securities that may
be issued under the Indenture, and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange
for Initial Securities.  The Original Securities, such additional
Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of
securities under the Indenture.  The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay
dividends and other distributions, incur Debt, enter into consensual
restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such
Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with
Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales.  The Indenture
also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Subsidiary
Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or sell,
transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of the Property of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor.

     

    5.  Optional
Redemption

     

    The
Company may choose to redeem the Securities at any time.  If it does
so, it may redeem all or any portion of the Securities, at once or over time,
after giving the required notice under the Indenture.

     

    To
redeem the Securities prior to October 15, 2014, the Company must pay a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption
Date).  Any notice to Holders of such a redemption shall include the
appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but need not include the
Redemption Price itself.  The actual redemption price must be set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two
Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    “Applicable Premium”
means, with respect to any Security on any Redemption Date, the greater of
(i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Security and (ii) the excess
of (A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) the Redemption
Price of such Security at October 15, 2014 (such Redemption Price being set
forth in the table below) plus (2) all required interest payments due on
such Security through October 15, 2014 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest),
computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate on such Redemption
Date plus 75 basis points over (B) the principal amount of such
Security.

     

    “Treasury Rate” means,
as of any Redemption Date, the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of
United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and
published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)
that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the
Redemption Date (or, if such statistical release is no longer published, any
publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the
period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2014; provided, however, that if the
period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2014 is less than one year, the
weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

     

    Beginning
on October 15, 2014, the Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time
or in part from time to time at the following Redemption Prices (expressed in
percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date), if redeemed
during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of the years set forth
below:

     

    

    
      	 
      	
              Redemption
      Year

            	 
      	
              Price

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2014

            	 
      	
              105.125%

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2015

            	 
      	
              103.417%

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2016

            	 
      	
              101.708%

            	 
      
	 
      	
              2017
      and thereafter

            	 
      	
              100.000%

            	 
      

    

    

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to October 15, 2012, the
Company may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Securities (including Securities issued after October 26, 2009, if any) with the
proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, at a Redemption Price
equal to 110.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption
Date); provided, however, that after
giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate
principal amount of the Securities (including Securities issued after October
26, 2009, if any) remains outstanding.  Any such redemption shall be
made within 75 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    If
the optional Redemption Date is on or after a record date and on or before the
relevant Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be
paid to the person or entity in whose name the Security is registered at the
close of business on that record date, and no additional interest will be
payable to Holders whose Securities shall be subject to repurchase.

     

    6.  Sinking
Fund

     

    The
Securities are not subject to any sinking fund.

     

    7.  Notice of
Redemption

     

    Notice
of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address.  Securities in
denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000.  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price
of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed
on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the
redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such
date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof)
called for redemption.

     

    8.  (a)  Repurchase of Securities at
the Option of Holders upon Change of Control

     

    Upon
a Change of Control, any Holder will have the right, subject to certain
conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or
any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the
Indenture.

     

    8.  (b)  Prepayment Offer Upon Asset
Sale

     

    When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million (taking into
account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company will be
required to make an offer to purchase (the “Asset Sales Prepayment
Offer”) the Securities, which offer shall be in the amount of the
Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount at
maturity, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with
the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth
in the Indenture.  To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net
Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided
that all Holders have been given the opportunity to tender their Securities for
purchase in accordance with the Indenture, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary may use such remaining amount

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    for
any purpose permitted by the Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be
reset to zero.

     

    9.  Guarantees;
Security

     

    The
Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, the Securities will be
guaranteed pursuant to Subsidiary Guarantees.  Subsidiary Guarantees
may be released in various circumstances, including in certain circumstances
without the consent of Holders.

     

    The
Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, the Securities or
Subsidiary Guarantees must be secured by Liens on certain Property of the
Company or Subsidiary Guarantors.  Liens securing the Securities or
Subsidiary Guarantees may be released in various circumstances, including in
certain circumstances without the consent of Holders.

     

    10.  Denominations; Transfer;
Exchange

     

    The
Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and
whole multiples in excess thereof of $1,000.  A Holder may transfer or
exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture.  Upon any
transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to
pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The
Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected
for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the
portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any
Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be
redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

     

    11.  Persons Deemed
Owners

     

    The
registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all
purposes.

     

    12.  Unclaimed
Money

     

    If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years,
the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its
written request unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person.  After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must
look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

     

    13.  Discharge and
Defeasance

     

    Subject
to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal
and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may
be.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    14.  Amendment, Waiver, Deemed
Consents, Releases

     

    Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, the
Second Priority Collateral Documents or the Securities may be amended without
prior notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and
(ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities.  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in
the Indenture, without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized
by a Board Resolution, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture or the Securities and, subject to any consent required by the terms of
the applicable Second Priority Collateral Documents, the Second Priority
Collateral Documents to: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency; (ii) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation
of the obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the
Indenture or any Second Priority Collateral Documents; (iii) provide for
uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;
provided, however, that the
uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of
Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the
uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the
Code; (iv) add additional Guarantees with respect to the Securities or
release Subsidiary Guarantors from Subsidiary Guarantees as provided by the
terms of the Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees; (v) further secure the
Securities (and if such security interest includes Liens on Property of the
Company, provide for releases of such Property on terms comparable to the terms
on which Collateral constituting Property of Subsidiary Guarantors may be
released), release any Collateral used, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Collateral
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, add to the covenants of the Company
or the Subsidiary Guarantors for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Company under the Indenture; (vi) in the
case of the Indenture, make any change that does not adversely affect the rights
of any Holder; (vii) make any change to the subordination provisions of a
Subsidiary Guarantee or any Second Priority Collateral Documents that would
limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Obligations
under such provisions; (viii) make any change to comply with any
requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or (iv) to conform the text of the
Indenture or the Securities to any provision of the “Description of Notes”
contained in the Offering Memorandum.

     

    Without
limiting the foregoing, the Holders will be deemed to have consented for
purposes of the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including for purposes of
determining actions of the Second Priority Instructing Group) to (i) any
amendment, waiver or other modification (including any consent thereunder) of
the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including any annexes, exhibits or
schedules thereto) that would not be adverse to the Holders in any material
respect, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (as evidenced by a
Board Resolution) and (ii) to specified Second Priority Collateral
Documents Amendments.

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    At
the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents,
instructions or instruments evidencing such deemed consent of the Holders. The
Trustee, in its capacity as Second Priority Representative to Holders, shall
take such action under the Second Priority Collateral Documents as may be
requested by the Company to give effect to any such amendment, waiver or
modification.

     

    In
addition and without limiting the foregoing, (x) Collateral securing a
Subsidiary Guarantee of the Securities or (y) a Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Securities provided by a Subsidiary Guarantor may be released only in respect of
the Securities (i) upon request of the Company without consent of any
Holder unless, within 20 Business Days after written notice of the proposed
release of such (1) Collateral from the Liens securing Subsidiary
Guarantees of the Securities or (2) Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may
be, is mailed to the Trustee and the Holders, Holders of 25% of the outstanding
principal amount of Securities deliver to the Company a written objection to
such release or (ii) with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding.

     

    Under
the circumstances described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Holders
shall also be deemed to have consented to such release for purposes of any
consent required under the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including for
purposes of determining actions of the Second Priority Instructing
Group).

     

    At
the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents,
instructions or instruments evidencing the consent of the Holders to such
release.  The Trustee, in its capacity as Second Priority
Representative for Holders, shall take such action under the Second Priority
Collateral Documents or otherwise as may be requested by the Company to give
effect to any such release.

     

    15.  Defaults and
Remedies

     

    If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding,
subject to certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately
due and payable.  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are
Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being immediately due and
payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default without any further act of
the Trustee or any Holder.

     

    Holders
of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or
the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or
security.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the
Indenture.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind any declaration of 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

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    except
nonpayment of principal, premium or interest that has become due solely because
of the acceleration.

     

    16.  Trustee Dealings with the
Company

     

    Subject
to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the
Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

     

    17.  No Recourse Against
Others

     

    A
director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or
the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation.  By accepting a Security, each
Securityholder waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities.

     

    18.  Successors

     

    Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, when a successor assumes all
the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities and the Indenture in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the predecessor will be released
from those obligations.

     

    19.  Authentication

     

    This
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the
other side of this Security.

     

    20.  Abbreviations

     

    Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such
as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN
(=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST
(=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

     

    21.  Governing
Law

     

    THIS
SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAW.

    22.  CUSIP
Numbers

     

    Pursuant
to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on
the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Securityholders.  No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

     

    The
Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge to
the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this
Security.

    In
care of

    The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

     

    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

     

    This
certificate is delivered to request a transfer of
$[     ] principal amount of the 10.250% Senior Secured
Notes due 2019 (the “Securities”) of Rite Aid Corporation (the
“Company”).

     

    Upon
transfer, the Securities would be registered in the name of the new beneficial
owner as follows:

     

    Name:________________________

     

    Address:_____________________

     

    Taxpayer
ID Number:__________

     

    The
undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

     

    1.
We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an
institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the
Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer
or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities
Act.  We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in
the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the
Securities in the normal course of our business.  We, and any accounts
for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment.

     

    2.  We
understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act
and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following
sentence.  We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise
transfer such Securities prior to the date that is two years after the later of
the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any
affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor
thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the
Company, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared
effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the
requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a
person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under
Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or

     

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    for
the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made
in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur
outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the
Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is
purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional
“accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Securities
of $100,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the
foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property
or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our
or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities
laws.  The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent
to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.  If any resale or other
transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e)
above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall
deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to
the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the
transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is
acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in
violation of the Securities Act.  Each purchaser acknowledges that the
Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other
transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities
pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an
opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee.
