Section 9.5 and except for transactions similar to the Registered Exchange Offer.

          The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to
the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such
Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

          In case the Company, pursuant to Article V, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any
other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the
Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid,
shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto (if not otherwise a party to the Indenture)
with the Trustee pursuant to Article V, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at
the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the

 

15

name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate,
but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like
principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate
and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at
any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person (if other than the
Company) pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of
transfer of any Notes, such successor Person (if other than the Company), at the option of the
Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time
outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

          SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and
an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may
have one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any such additional
paying agent. The Company may change the Registrar or appoint one or more co-Registrars without
notice.

          In the event the Company shall retain any Person not a party to this Indenture as an agent
hereunder, the Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or
Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the Trust
Indenture Act. 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 each 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 7.7. The Company shall be
responsible for the fees and compensations of all agents appointed or approved by it. Either the
Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent.

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

          SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the date on which any principal or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Note is
due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such
principal or interest (including any Additional Interest) when due. The Company shall require each
Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in
trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Notes and shall
notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If either
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries 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 (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for
any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered
to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

 

16

          SECTION 2.5. Noteholder 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 Noteholders. If the
Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall cause the Registrar to 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 Noteholders.

          SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes (other than Section 2.1(e)
hereof), transfers and exchanges of Notes and beneficial interests in a Global Note of the kinds
specified in this Section 2.6 shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.6.

          (a) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6(a),
and subject to the Applicable Procedures (as defined below). Upon receipt by the Trustee, as
Registrar, of (A) an order given by DTC or its authorized representative directing that a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount be credited to
a specified Agent Member’s account and that a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in
an equal principal amount be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account and (B) a
Regulation S Certificate (a “Regulation S Certificate”), the form of which is set forth in
Exhibit C hereto, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the owner of such
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note and increase the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Note by such specified principal amount as provided in this Section 2.6.
“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or transaction involving a
Global Note or beneficial interest therein, the rules and procedures of DTC, Euroclear System and
Clearstream Banking, Société Anonyme or their successors or assigns, in each case, to the extent
applicable to such transaction and as in effect from time to time.

          (b) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a person
who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this Section 2.6(b) and subject to the
Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) an order given by DTC or
its authorized representative directing that a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in
a specified principal amount be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and that a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an equal principal amount be debited from
another specified Agent Member’s account and (B) if such transfer is to occur during (but only
during) the Restricted Period, a Rule 144A Certificate (a “Rule 144A Certificate”), the
form of which is set forth in Exhibit D hereto, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly
executed by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, then the Trustee, as Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of
the Regulation S Global Note and increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note by such
specified principal amount as provided in this Section 2.6.

          (c) Rule 144A Non-Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note.
If the holder of a Rule 144A Note (other than a Global Note) wishes at any time to

 

17

transfer all or any portion of such Note to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note,
such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6(c) and
subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) such Note
as provided in Section 2.3 and instructions satisfactory to the Trustee directing that a beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount
not greater than the principal amount of such Note be credited to a specified Agent Member’s
account and (B) a Rule 144A Certificate, if the specified account is to be credited with a
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, or a Regulation S Certificate, if the specified
account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, in either
case, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by such holder or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, then the Trustee, as Registrar, shall cancel such Note (and issue a new Note in respect
of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 2.3 and increase the principal amount
of the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, by the specified
principal amount as provided in this Section 2.6.

          (d) Regulation S Non-Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global
Note. If the holder of a Regulation S Note (other than a Global Note) wishes at any time to
transfer all or any portion of such Note to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, such
transfer may be effected only in accordance with this Section 2.6(d) and subject to the Applicable
Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) such Note as provided in Section 2.3
and instructions satisfactory to the Trustee directing that a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A
Global Note or Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount not greater than the
principal amount of such Note be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and (B) if the
transfer is to occur during (but only during) the Restricted Period and the specified account is to
be credited with a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, a Rule 144A Certificate
satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by such holder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, then the Trustee, as Registrar, shall cancel such Note (and issue a new Note in respect of
any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 2.3 and increase the principal amount of
the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, by the specified
principal amount as provided in this Section 2.6.

          (e) Non-Global Note to Non-Global Note. A Note that is not a Global Note may be
transferred, in whole or in part, to a person who takes delivery in the form of another Note that
is not a Global Note in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, that if the Note to be
transferred in whole or in part is (I) a Rule 144A Note or (II) a Regulation S Note and the
transfer is to occur during (but only during) the Restricted Period, then, in each case, the
Trustee, as Registrar, shall have received (A) a Rule 144A Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee
and duly executed by the transferor holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, in which
case the transferee holder shall take delivery in the form of a Rule 144A Note, or (B) a Regulation
S Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the transferor holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, in which case the transferee holder shall take delivery in the
form of a Regulation S Note (subject in each case to Section 2.6(g)).

          (f) Exchange between Global Note and Non-Global Note. A beneficial interest in a
Global Note may be exchanged for a Note that is not a Global Note as provided in Section 2.1(e);
provided, that if such interest is a beneficial interest in (I) the Rule 144A Global Note
or (II) the Regulation S Global Note and such exchange is to occur during the Restricted Period,

 

18

then, in each case, such interest shall be exchanged for a Rule 144A Note (subject in each
case to Section 2.6(g)). A Note that is not a Global Note may be exchanged for a beneficial
interest in a Global Note only if (A) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected
in accordance with Section 2.6(c) or (d) herein or (B) such Note is a Regulation S Note and such
exchange occurs after the Restricted Period.

          (g) Restrictive Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes
not bearing a Restrictive Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a
Restrictive Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a
Restrictive Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restrictive Notes
Legend unless there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that neither
such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act.

          (h) Officer’s Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the resale restriction termination date relating to the Notes and the
Restricted Period.

          The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6. The Company shall have the right to inspect
and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time
upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

          (i) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes.

          (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall, subject to
the other terms and conditions of this Article II, execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s request.

          (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company 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 charges payable upon exchange or
transfer pursuant to Sections 3.6 or 9.5.

          (iii) The Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of
or exchange of any Note for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of
an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of
such mailing or (2) 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest
payment date.

          (iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat
the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note 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.

 

19

          (v) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note
pursuant to Section 2.1(d) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(g), bear the
applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set
forth in Section 2.1(c).

          (vi) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture shall be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, shall evidence
the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes
surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

          (vii) All certificates, certifications and opinions of counsel required to be
submitted to the Registrar or any co-registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6 to effect any
transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile transmission, with the original to follow
by first class mail or hand delivery.

          (j) No Obligation of the Trustee. (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other
Person in respect of any aspect of the records, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records, relating to beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, with respect to the accuracy
of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any
ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member,
beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of
redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property)
under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and
all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon
the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global
Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC
subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee and the Company may
conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with
respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

          (2) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among
Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) 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.

          (k) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a
whole except by DTC to a nominee of DTC, by a nominee of DTC to DTC or to another nominee of DTC,
or by the DTC or any such nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of such successor
depositary.

          Neither the Trustee nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility for any actions taken
or not taken by DTC or any successor depositary.

          (l) Accrual of Interest on the Exchange Note; Exchange of Exchange Notes.

 

20

          (i) Interest on any Exchange Note shall accrue from the dates provided in Exhibit B.

          (ii) Subject to Section 2.1(e), upon the occurrence of the Registered Exchange Offer
in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and, upon
receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee shall
authenticate one or more Exchange Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Initial Notes or Additional Notes
tendered for acceptance by Persons that certify in the applicable letters of transmittal
that (x) they are not broker-dealers, (y) they are not participating in a distribution of
the Exchange Notes and (z) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act) of the Company, and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer.
Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Initial Notes in the form of Global Notes and/or
Additional Notes in the form of Global Notes to be reduced accordingly.

          SECTION 2.7. Form of Certificates to be Delivered in Connection with Transfers Pursuant
to Regulation S and Rule 144A.

          Attached hereto as Exhibit C and Exhibit D are forms of certificates to be
delivered in connection with transfers pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A, respectively.

          SECTION 2.8. Business Days. If a payment date is on a date that is not a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on
such payment for the intervening period. If a regular record date is on a day that is not a
Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

          SECTION 2.9. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the
Holder of a Note shall provide the Company and the Trustee with evidence to their satisfaction that
the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a replacement Note 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.
In addition, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity or surety bond sufficient in the judgment of
the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar
from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may
charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.

          SECTION 2.10. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the
Trustee except for those canceled, those delivered for cancellation and those described in this
Section 2.10 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.9, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note 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

 

21

interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed
or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease
to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

          SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the
temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such
exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Notes, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor, one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes.
Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes.

          SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer or exchange or payment. The Trustee and no
one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, payment or cancellation and, upon the request
of the Company, deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company. The Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, which shall not prohibit the Company from issuing any Additional Notes, or any
Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee may be
disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its then customary practices and procedures, unless
the Company directs otherwise. The Trustee shall provide to the Company a list of all Notes that
have been cancelled from time to time as requested in writing by the Company.

          SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes,
the Company shall pay defaulted interest plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent
lawful at the rate specified therefor in the Notes in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the
defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders 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 which specified record date shall not be less than 10 days
prior to the payment date for such defaulted interest and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed
to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
defaulted interest to be paid. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at
the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate
amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such defaulted
interest as provided in this Section 2.13.

          SECTION 2.14. CUSIP Numbers, etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN”
numbers and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if

 

22

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

          SECTION 2.15. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled to issue, from time to
time, Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes
issued on the Issue Date or the Exchange Notes exchanged therefor (in each case, other than with
respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment
date applicable thereto), as the case may be.

          With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board
of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each shall be delivered to the Trustee, the
following information:

          (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and
delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

          (2) the issue price, the issue date and the “CUSIP” and “ISIN” number of any such Additional
Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto;

          (3) whether such Additional Notes shall be transfer restricted securities and issued in the
form of Initial Notes as set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture or shall be issued in the form of
Exchange Notes as set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture; and

          (4) if applicable, the resale restriction termination date relating to the Notes and the
Restricted Period for such Additional Notes.

          SECTION 2.16. One Class of Notes. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes
shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class; and none of the Initial Notes, any
Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class
on any matter. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes shall together be
deemed to constitute a single class or series for all purposes under this Indenture.

ARTICLE III

Redemption; Repayment at Option of Holders

          SECTION 3.1. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Sections 5 or 6
of the Notes or Section 3.7, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

          The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.1 at least 30
days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period.

 

23

Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate from the Company to the effect
that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. The record date relating to such
redemption shall be selected by the Company and set forth in the related notice given to the
Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days prior to the date selected for redemption
by the Company.

          SECTION 3.2. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Notes then outstanding are
to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any
other method that complies with applicable legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and
that the Trustee considers, in its discretion, to be fair and appropriate in accordance with
methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances. The
Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.
Notes and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

          SECTION 3.3. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for
redemption of Notes, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.

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

          (1) the aggregate amount of Notes to be redeemed;

          (2) the redemption date;

          (3) the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price) and the amount of
accrued interest to be paid, if any;

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

          (5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

          (6) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate
number (if certificated) and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

          (7) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;

          (8) the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, printed on the Notes being
redeemed; and

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

 

24

          At the Company’s written request (which may be rescinded or revoked at any time prior to the
time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), the Trustee shall give the
notice of redemption in the name of the Company and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the
Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.3 at least 5
Business Days prior to the date chosen for giving such notice to the Holders (unless the Trustee
shall agree to a shorter period). The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any
case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for the redemption of any other Notes.

          SECTION 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3, Notes called for
redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price as
stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent on or after the redemption date, such
Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest
to the redemption date; provided, that the Company shall have deposited the redemption
price with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date
of redemption; provided further that if the redemption date is after a regular record date
and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to
the Noteholder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date. 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 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of redemption, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying
Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price
of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or
portions of Notes called for redemption which are owned by the Company or a Subsidiary and have
been delivered by the Company or such Subsidiary to the Trustee for cancellation. All money, if
any, earned on funds held by the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Company. In addition, the
Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the
Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if
any, on, all Notes to be redeemed.

          Unless the Company defaults in the payment of such redemption price, interest on the Notes or
portions of Notes to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on and after the applicable redemption date,
whether or not such Notes are presented for payment.

          SECTION 3.6. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof (at the Company’s expense) a new Note, equal in a
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each new
Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

          SECTION 3.7. Optional Redemption. The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the
option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal
amount of such Notes and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of
principal and interest thereon (exclusive

 

25

of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted
to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus accrued
interest thereon to the redemption date. The Notes shall also be redeemable as provided in
Sections 5 and 6 of the Notes.

          SECTION 3.8. Applicability of Article. Repayment of the Notes before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be
made in accordance with the terms of the Notes and in accordance with this Article.

          SECTION 3.9. Repayment of Notes. Each Note is subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holder thereof at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest thereon accrued to the
Repayment Date.

          SECTION
3.10. Exercise of Option. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Note, with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form
attached to such Note duly completed by the Holder, must be received by the Company at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall
from time to time notify the Holders of such Notes) not earlier than June 1, 2013 nor later than
June 30, 2013; provided, however, that if June 30, 2013 is not a Business Day, such
Note, with such “Option to Elect Repayment” form duly completed, may be received by the Company at
the aforementioned address on the next succeeding Business Day. If less than the entire principal
amount of such Note is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Note, the principal amount
of such Note to be repaid, in increments of $1,000, and the denomination or denominations of the
Note or Notes to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Note
surrendered that is not to be repaid must be specified. The principal amount of any Note may not
be repaid at the option of the Holder in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal
amount of such Note would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Notes under this
Indenture. Exercise of the repayment option by a Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the
Company. No transfer or exchange of any Note (or in the event any Note is to be repaid in part,
such portion of such Note to be repaid) will be permitted after exercise of the repayment option
with respect to such Note or such portion of such Note. All questions as to the validity,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of this Note for repayment will be
determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding.

          SECTION 3.11. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment Date the Company will deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregated and held as a separate trust fund as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money
sufficient to pay 100% of the principal of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date (as defined in the Notes)) accrued interest, if any, on, all the Notes or portions
thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. If Notes providing for repayment at the
option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as
provided by the terms of such Notes, such Notes or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be
repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date, and on
and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes on
such Repayment Date) interest on such Notes or the portions thereof, as the case may be, shall
cease to accrue.

 

26

          SECTION
3.12. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of any Note which is to be repaid in part only, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without
service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized
denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for
the portion of the principal of such Note so surrendered and cancelled which is not to be repaid.

ARTICLE IV

Covenants

          SECTION 4.1. Payment of Notes. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall promptly pay the principal of and interest
(including Additional Interest) on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes
and in this Indenture. Principal and interest (including Additional Interest) shall be considered
paid on the date due if, on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, the Trustee or
the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, the segregated
account or separate trust fund maintained by the Company or such Subsidiary pursuant to Section
2.4) holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest
(including Additional Interest) then due. If any Additional Interest is due, the Company shall
deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the Additional Interest per $1,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the
Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent
lawful as provided in Section 2.13.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company or the
Paying Agent may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other
similar taxes imposed by the United States of America or other domestic or foreign taxing
authorities from principal or interest payments hereunder.

          SECTION 4.2. Limitations on Liens. (a) So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company may not directly or indirectly,
incur, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any
Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any property or assets (including Capital Stock) of the
Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or upon any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any of its
Subsidiaries (whether such property, assets, shares of stock or Indebtedness are now existing or
owed or hereafter created or acquired) without in any such case effectively providing, concurrently
with the incurrence of any such secured Indebtedness, or the grant of a Lien with respect to any
such Indebtedness to be so secured, that the Notes or, in respect of Liens on the property or
assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor (together with, if
the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of or guarantee by the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries ranking equally in right of payment
with the Notes or the Guarantee) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the Company’s
option, prior to) such Indebtedness to be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing
restrictions shall not apply to:

 

27

               (1) Liens on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Person existing at the time
such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that
such Lien was not Incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a Subsidiary;

               (2) Liens on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness existing at the time of acquisition
thereof by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (which may include
property previously leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and leasehold interests on
such property, provided that the lease terminates prior to or upon the acquisition) or
Liens on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness to secure the payment of all or any part of the
purchase price thereof, or Liens on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness to secure any
Indebtedness for borrowed money incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 18 months after, the
latest of the acquisition thereof, or, in the case of property, the completion of construction, the
completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property
for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof, such construction or
the making of such improvements;

               (3) Liens securing Indebtedness of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or of the Company owing
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

               (4) Liens existing on the Issue Date;

               (5) Liens on property or assets of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into
or consolidated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, at the time such Person becomes a
Subsidiary of the Company or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries; provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such merger,
consolidation, or sale, lease or other disposition or other transaction;

               (6) Liens created in connection with a project financed with, and created to secure, a
Nonrecourse Obligation;

               (7) Liens securing all of the Notes or the Guarantees; or

               (8) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or
replacements), in whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (7),
inclusive, without increase of the principal of the Indebtedness secured thereby; provided,
however, that any Liens permitted by any of the foregoing clauses (1) to (7), inclusive, shall not
extend to or cover any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be,
other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements thereto.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, the Company and its
Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to the
foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or in respect of Liens on
any Subsidiary Guarantor’s property or assets, the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor;
provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness so
secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under clauses (1) through (8) above), together with
all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to Section 4.3(b) does not at the time exceed 10% of the
Consolidated Net Assets of the Company.

 

28

          SECTION 4.3. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.

          (a) The Company shall not directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to, enter into any sale and lease-back transaction for the sale
and leasing back of any property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless:

          (1) such transaction was entered into prior to the Issue Date;

          (2) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company of any property
by one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

          (3) such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be
terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary within a period of not more than three years);

          (4) the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by
a Lien with respect to such sale and lease-back transaction without equally and ratably
securing the notes pursuant to clauses (1) through (8) of Section 4.2(a); or

          (5) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company applies an amount equal to the net
proceeds from the sale of such property to the purchase of other property or assets used or
useful in the business of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or to the retirement of
long-term Indebtedness within 270 days before or after the effective date of any such sale
and lease-back transaction; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the
retirement of long-term indebtedness, the Company may deliver notes to the Trustee for
cancellation, such notes to be credited at the cost thereof to the Company.

          (b) Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 4.3(a), the Company and its
Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction which would otherwise be subject to
the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of all Attributable
Debt outstanding with respect to such transactions, together with all indebtedness outstanding
pursuant to Section 4.2(b), does not at the time exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Assets of the
Company.

          SECTION 4.4. Compliance Certificate. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate signed by its principal
executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer which shall comply
with the provisions of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, stating whether or not to the
knowledge of the signers thereof any Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement
of notice provided hereunder) occurred during the previous fiscal year, specifying all such
Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

          SECTION 4.5. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain the office or agency required under Section 2.3. The Company
shall give prior written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office
or agency or shall fail to furnish

 

29

the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in
Section 11.2.

          SECTION 4.6. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by Article V, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation or
other Person.

SECTION 4.7. SEC Reports. The Company shall comply with all the applicable provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act. Delivery of such information, documents or reports to the Trustee pursuant to such
provisions is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of the covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on the Officers’ Certificate).

ARTICLE V

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

     SECTION 5.1. When the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor May Merge or Transfer
Assets. Neither of the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will consolidate with or sell, lease or
convey all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or merge with or into, in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, any other Person, unless:

               (i) the Company, or in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company or such Subsidiary
Guarantor, shall be the continuing entity, or the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the
“Successor”) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor (if not the Company or
such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture,
executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of
the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Notes, this Indenture and
any Guarantee, as applicable (provided that such Successor shall not be required to assume the
obligations of any such Subsidiary Guarantor if such Successor would not, after giving effect to
such transaction, be required to guarantee the Notes under the provisions of Article X);

               (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing;

               (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental
indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture (except that such Opinion of Counsel need not opine
as to clause (ii) above) and that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal valid and
binding obligation of the Successor subject to customary exceptions.

          SECTION 5.2. Successor Corporation Substituted. The Successor will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture. The Company or such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be

 

30

relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Notes, the
Guarantees, if any, and the Indenture to the extent the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor was
the predecessor Person, provided, that in the case of a lease of all or substantially all
of the Company’s assets, the Company will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal
of and interest on the Notes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the restrictions
contained in this Article V shall cease to apply to any Subsidiary Guarantor immediately upon any
merger, consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor in accordance with this Article V or upon any other termination of the Guarantees of that
Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the Indenture.

ARTICLE VI

Defaults and Remedies

          SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to the Notes if:

          (1) A default in any payment of interest (including Additional Interest) on any Note
when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

          (2) A default in the payment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due
and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption or otherwise;

          (3) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to comply with any of its
agreements in the Notes or this Indenture (other than those referred to in (1) or (2) above)
and such failure continues for 90 days after the notice specified below;

          (4) A failure to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period,
in respect of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) in an amount in excess of $35,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other
currency or composite currency and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after the
notice specified below; provided, however, that if any such failure shall
cease, or be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason
thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been cured;

          (5) a default with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries owing to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $35,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other
currency or composite currency without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such
acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for a period of 30 days after
written notice specified below; provided, however, that if any such default
or acceleration shall be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled then the Event of Default by
reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been cured;

 

31

          (6) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law:

     (A) commences a voluntary case;

     (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case in which it is the debtor;

     (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any
substantial part of its property; or

     (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

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

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

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

     (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for any substantial part
of the property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; or

     (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor;

          (or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws) and the order, decree or
relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

          (8) the Guarantees of any Subsidiary Guarantors ceases to be in full force and effect
during its term or such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations
under the terms of this Indenture or its Guarantee, in each case, other than any such
cessation, denial or disaffirmation in connection with the termination of such Guarantee
pursuant to the provisions of Article X.

          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.

          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal
or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee,
assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

          If any failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses (4) or (5) above shall cease or
be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof
shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured.

 

32

          A Default with respect to Notes under clauses (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 6.1 is not an
Event of Default until the Trustee (by notice to the Company) or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (by notice to the Company and the Trustee)
gives notice of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in
said clause (3), (4) or (5) 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 which with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 6.1,
its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.1(6) or (7) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of
such Holders, shall, declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to
be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall
be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) with
respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest
on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of
principal or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration. No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

          SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder 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, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative.

          SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by
notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, waive any past or existing
Default and its consequences except (1) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on
a Note or (2) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without
the consent of each Noteholder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
consequent right.

 

33

          SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. Upon provision of security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the
Notes or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee, which
may conclusively rely on opinions of counsel, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of
other Noteholders 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.

          SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. A Holder of Notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
unless:

          (i) An Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Holder gives to
the Trustee prior written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

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

          (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it
against any costs, liabilities or expenses in compliance with such request;

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

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

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

          SECTION 6.7. 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 Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective
due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

          SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
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 7.7.

          SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses,

 

34

disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to an Company, its creditors or any other
obligor upon the Notes, or any of their creditors or the property of the Company or such other
obligor or their creditors 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, 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 7.7.

          SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Any money or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to Article VI hereof, or any
money or other property otherwise distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture, shall be applied in the following order:

     FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under
Section 7.7;

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

     THIRD: to the Company.

          The Trustee may, upon prior written notice to the Company, fix a record date and payment date
for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record
date, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder 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 apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

          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, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and 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.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

          SECTION 7.1. 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 a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
Person’s own affairs.

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

          (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

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

          (c) The Trustee may n#ot be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

          (i) this subsection does not limit the effect of subsections (b) or (f) of this
Section 7.1;

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

          (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5.

          (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
subsections (a), (b), (c) and (f) of this Section 7.1.

          (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or other property received by
it or for holding moneys or other property uninvested, in either case, except as otherwise agreed
between the Company and the Trustee. Money and other property held in trust by the Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated from other money or property except to the extent required by
law.

          (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of

 

36

its duties
hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to
believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

          (g) 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 provisions of this Section 7.1 and
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, where applicable.

          SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting in reliance 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.

          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel, or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

          (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers or perform any duties hereunder
either directly through attorneys and agents, respectively, and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care by it hereunder.

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

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

          (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested
in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this
Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction.

          (g) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Notes unless either (1) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default
or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given
to a Trust Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office by the Company or any other obligor
on the Notes or by any Holder of the Notes. Any such notice shall reference this Indenture and the
Notes.

          (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture, including its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities as Registrar and Paying Agent, as the case
may be, hereunder.

 

37

          (i) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further reasonable inquiry or reasonable
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, upon reasonable notice and at
reasonable times, to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent
or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of
any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

          (j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate, substantially in the form
of Exhibit E hereto, setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at
such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

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

          SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

          SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other
than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing and
if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the
Default within 90 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by
a Trust Officer of the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or
interest on any Note, 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 not opposed to the interests
of Noteholders.

          SECTION 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each January 15 beginning with the January 15 following
the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to March 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail
to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such January 15 that complies with Section 313(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee also shall comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture
Act. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company a copy of any report it delivers to Holders
pursuant to this Section 7.6.

 

38

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed by the Trustee
with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to
notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and
of any delisting thereof.

          SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company, jointly and severally, covenants and
agrees to pay to the Trustee (and any predecessor Trustee) from time to time such reasonable
compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee
of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), disbursements and advances
incurred or made by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including costs of
collection, in addition to such compensation for its services, except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the
Company reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business. The Company
shall indemnify each of the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and any predecessor
Trustees against any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee’s compensation hereunder)
incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or 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 written notice and for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by
the Trustee so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent that the Company has been prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall
defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable, in the defense of any
such claim, and, if (in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee) the facts and/or issues surrounding
the claim are reasonably likely to create a conflict with the Company, the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Trustee. 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 without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee (including any
predecessor trustee) shall have a lien prior to the Notes 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 Notes.

          The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction,
discharge and termination of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any
discharge of this Indenture including any discharge under any bankruptcy law. In addition to and
without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this
Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) with respect to the Company, the expenses and the compensation
for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

 

39

          SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Company. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may remove the Trustee
upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee, which successor
Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

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

          (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

          (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes 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.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company and the Company shall pay all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under
Section 7.7 of the Indenture. 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
Noteholders affected by such resignation or removal. 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 7.7.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office with respect to the Notes within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal
amount of the Notes 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 Noteholder may petition 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 7.8, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article VII and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

 

40

          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 Notes 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 Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Notes 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 Notes 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 Section 310(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as
set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in
Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met.

          Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application
referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

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

ARTICLE VIII

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

          SECTION 8.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. With respect to the Notes, (a) when (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding
Notes that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii)(A) all
outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity, as a result of repayment at the
option of the Holders or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article
III hereof or (B) the Notes shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year,
or the Notes are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of
the Company, and, in each case of this clause (ii), the Company irrevocably deposits or causes to
be deposited with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all
outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date, and if in the
case of either clause (i) or (ii) the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company,
then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.1(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 from the Company and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company that all
conditions precedent provided herein for relating to

 

41

satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
have been complied with and at the cost and expense of the Company.

          (b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its
obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its
obligations under Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 and the operation of Sections 6.1(3), 6.1(4) and
6.1(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 with respect to the Notes, payment of the
Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant
defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default
specified in Sections 6.1(3), 6.1(4) or 6.1(5).

          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 2.3,
2.4, 2.5, 2.9, 4.1, 4.5, 7.7, 7.8, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in
full. Thereafter, the Company’s and the Trustee’s obligations in Sections 7.7, 8.4 and 8.5 shall
survive such satisfaction and discharge.

          SECTION 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with
respect to the Notes only if:

          (i) the Company irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited in trust with the
Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms shall provide cash
at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest when
due on all outstanding Notes (except Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.9) to maturity or
redemption, as the case may be;

          (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized
firm of independent 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 shall provide cash at such times and in such amounts
as shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all outstanding Notes to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

          (iii) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default
specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

          (iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors;

 

42

          (v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there
has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this
Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case
to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the
Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such deposit and 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
deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

          (vi) 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 Noteholders will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
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 deposit and defeasance had not
occurred; and

          (vii) 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
Notes 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 Notes at a future date in accordance with Article III.

          SECTION 8.3. 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 either directly or through the Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine and
in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

          SECTION 8.4. Repayment to the 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 written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest
that remains unclaimed for two years after the date of payment of such principal and interest, and,
thereafter, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors.

          Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be held uninvested
and without any liability for interest.

          SECTION 8.5. 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 other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by
law is for the account of the Holders of the defeased Notes; provided that the Trustee
shall be entitled to charge any such tax, fee or other charge to such Holder’s account.

 

43

          SECTION 8.6. 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 Notes 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 (a) if the Company has
made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive
such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent and
(b) unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and U.S. Government
Obligations to the Company promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such
reinstatement of the Company’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.

ARTICLE IX

Amendments

          SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or
consent of any Noteholder:

          (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

          (ii) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor and the assumption by any such Person of the obligations of the Company or such
Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of Article V;

          (iii) to add any additional Events of Default;

          (iv) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the
benefit of the Holders of all the Notes or to surrender any right or power herein conferred
upon the Company;

          (v) to add one or more guarantees for the benefit of Holders of the Notes;

          (vi) to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of the
Notes in accordance with Article X;

          (vii) add collateral security with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee;

          (viii) to add or appoint a successor or separate Trustee or other agent;

          (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes, which shall have terms
substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes (except that the
transfer restrictions contained in the Initial Notes shall be modified or eliminated, as

 

44

appropriate, and there will be no registration rights), and which will be treated, together
with any outstanding Initial Notes, as a single issue of securities;

          (x) to provide for the issuance of any Additional Notes;

          (xi) to comply with any requirements in connection with qualifying this Indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act;

          (xii) to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository;

          (xiii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in
registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the
uncertificated Notes are as described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; and

          (xiv) to change any other provision if the change does not adversely affect the
interests of any Noteholder.

          After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all
Noteholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under
this Section 9.1.

          SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any
Noteholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange for Notes). However, without the consent of each Noteholder affected, an amendment may
not:

          (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or installment of interest on,
any Note;

          (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Notes;

          (iii) reduce any premium, if any, payable on the redemption of any Note or change the
date on which any Note may or must be redeemed or repaid;

          (iv) change the coin or currency in which the principal of or interest on any Note is
payable;

          (v) release the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor except as provided under
Article X, or make any changes to such Guarantee in a manner adverse to the Holders;

          (vi) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Note;

          (vii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the consent
of whose Holders is required in order to take certain actions;

 

45

          (viii) reduce the requirements for quorum or voting by Holders in this Indenture or
the Notes;

          (ix) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture regarding the waiver of past
defaults and the waiver of certain covenants by Holders except to increase any percentage
vote required or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be
modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Note affected thereby; or

          (x) modify any of the above provisions of this Section 9.2.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

          After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all
Noteholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under
this Section 9.2.

          SECTION 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as
then in effect.

          SECTION 9.4. Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the
Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note.
After an amendment or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Notes, it shall bind every
Noteholder.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Noteholders 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 Noteholders at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give
such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after
such record date.

          SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note
to deliver it to the Trustee. The Company shall provide in writing to the Trustee an appropriate
notation to be placed on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determine, the Company in exchange for the Note
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure
to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such
amendment.

          SECTION 9.6. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the
amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall
receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall
be fully protected in conclusively relying

 

46

upon, in addition to the documents required by Section
11.4, an Officers’ Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment
complies with the provisions of this Article IX and that such supplemental indenture constitutes
the legal valid and binding obligation of the Company in accordance with its terms subject to
customary exceptions.

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall
be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental Indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Noteholder theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE X

Guarantees

          SECTION 10.1. Guarantees. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees,
as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee the
full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes and all
other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (the “Obligations”) to
the Trustee and to the Holders. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees (to the extent
permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without
notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

          Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest
to the Company of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Obligations. The
obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure
of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company
or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any
extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any
of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of
any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; or (e) any
change in the ownership of the Company.

          Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that the Guarantee herein constitutes a
guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require
that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

          The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the
Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise,
and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the
failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture,
the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any

 

47

thereof, by any default,
failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act
or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to
any extent vary the risk of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of the Subsidiary Guarantors as a matter of law or equity.

          Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that the Guarantee herein shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
principal of or interest, if any, on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

          In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has
at law or in equity against any of the Subsidiary Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of
the Company to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be
paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such
Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due
and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

          Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and
the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding
any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such
Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

          Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any
rights under this Section 10.1.

          SECTION 10.2. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, none of
the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or
any Holder against the Company or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by
the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder,
until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders, as well as the holders of any other
Permitted Indebtedness, by the Company on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any
amount shall be paid to any of the Subsidiary Guarantors on account of such subrogation rights at
any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by
such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be
turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed
by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

 

48

          SECTION 10.3. Consideration. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits
from the making of the Guarantee.

          SECTION 10.4. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law
to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the
Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such
maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are
relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of
the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under applicable law. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee
shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a
contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary
Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the
Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

          SECTION 10.5. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
agrees that this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture, as the case may be) shall be executed on
behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of its Officers, managers, its trustee, its managing
member or its general partner, as the case may be.

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any
notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

          If an Officer, manager, trustee, managing member or general partner of a Subsidiary Guarantor
whose signature is on this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture, as the case may be) no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid
nevertheless.

          The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary
Guarantors.

          SECTION 10.6. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released from all its obligations under the
Notes, this Indenture and its Guarantee, and its Guarantee will automatically terminate (1) upon
the termination for any reason of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a guarantor or
borrower under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, upon agreement of the requisite lenders under the Credit Agreement or upon the
termination of the Credit Agreement or upon the replacement thereof with a credit facility not
providing for

 

49

such Subsidiary Guarantor to be a guarantor or a borrower thereunder), (2) upon the
exercise of the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option pursuant to Section
8.1(b), or upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant Section 8.1(a) and (3) upon
the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary
Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) or other transaction such that after giving
effect to such sale, disposition or other transaction such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a
Domestic Subsidiary of the Company. Upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall evidence such
release by a supplemental indenture or other instrument which may be executed by the Trustee
without the consent of any Holder.

          SECTION 10.7. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. After the Issue Date, the Company shall cause any Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary
Guarantor and that becomes a guarantor or a borrower under the Credit Agreement to execute and
deliver to the Trustee within 60 days of becoming a guarantor or borrower under the Credit
Agreement, a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary shall become a
Subsidiary Guarantor and shall provide a Guarantee of the Obligations.

in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company
(an “Affiliate”) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for
the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at
the time shall be considered in any such determination.

Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder shall waive and
release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE]

[Reverse of Note]

7.456% Senior Notes due 2018

1. Interest

          Expedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with 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 Note at the rate of 7.456% per annum; provided,
however, that, upon the occurrence or failure to occur of certain events specified in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount of this Note at
a rate of 0.25% per annum after such event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues
or fails to occur, as the case may be. Such additional interest shall be payable in addition to
any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this Note.

          The Company shall pay interest semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each
such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on [February 15, 2007] [first interest
payment date relating to any Additional Notes]. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from [August
21, 2006] [date of issuance of any Additional Notes], or from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid on the Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment

          By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of or
interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or
the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Company shall pay
interest (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the
close of business on the February 1 or August 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date
even if Notes are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the record date and on or before the
Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of
Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be
made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository
Trust Company. The Company may make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each
Holder thereof or by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the
payee.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

          The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the
“Trustee”), shall initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Noteholder. The Company or any of its
domestically organized wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent.

 A-3

 

 

4. Indenture

          The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 21, 2006 (as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
“Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of
the Indenture (the “Trust Indenture Act”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Noteholders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of
those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

          The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Note is one of the Initial
Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date,
any Additional Notes issued in accordance with Section 2.15 of the Indenture and any Exchange Notes
issued in exchange for the Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to create liens, enter into sale and
lease-back transactions and enter into mergers and consolidations.

          The Notes are guaranteed to the extent provided in the Indenture.

5. Repayment at Option of Holder

          This Note is subject to repayment in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 on
August 15, 2013 (the “Repayment Date”) at the option of the Holder hereof at a price equal
to 100% of the principal amount hereof to be repaid, together with interest hereon accrued to the
Repayment Date, all as provided in the Indenture. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, this
Note, with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form duly completed by the Holder hereof, must be
received by the Company at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or at such other address of
which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holder hereof) not earlier than June 1, 2013
nor later than June 30, 2013; provided, however, that if June 30, 2013 is not a
Business Day, this Note, with said “Option to Elect Repayment” form attached hereto duly completed
may be received at the aforementioned address on the next succeeding Business Day. Exercise of
such option by the Holder of this Note shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. If less
than the entire principal amount of this Note is to be repaid, the principal amount of this Note to
be repaid, in increments of $1,000, and the denomination or denominations of the Note or Notes to
be issued to the Holder hereof for the portion of the principal amount of this Note that is not to
be repaid must be specified. The principal amount of this Note may not be repaid in part at the
option of the Holder if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Note would
be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Notes under the Indenture. No transfer or
exchange of this security (or in the event this Note is to be repaid in part, such portion of this
Note to be repaid) will be permitted after exercise of the repayment option. All questions as to
the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of this Note for repayment
will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding. Upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder hereof,

 A-4

 

 

without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any
authorized denomination specified by the Holder hereof, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the portion of the principal of this Note which is not to be repaid.

     In the event that Holders of the Notes elect to exercise the repayment option with respect to
95% or more of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes outstanding on July 2, 2013, the
Company may at its option redeem all, but not less than all, of such Notes remaining outstanding,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by mail, at any time on or after August
16, 2013, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest thereon
accrued to the redemption date, but interest installments which are due on or prior to such
redemption date will be payable to the Holder of record at the close of business on the relevant
record date referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. On such redemption
date, this Note shall become due and payable and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the redemption price therefor) this Note shall cease to bear interest.

6. Optional Redemption

          The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the
option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal
amount of such Notes and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments
thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date
on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate plus 37.5 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for the redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption
date.

          “Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or Lehman Brothers
Inc., or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company;
provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. or
two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company, and each of their respective successors
and any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

 A-5

 

 

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any redemption date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid
and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer by 3:30 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

          “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal
to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately
preceding that redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the
Company will assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

          Except as set forth above and in Section 5 of the Notes, the Notes shall not be redeemable by
the Company prior to maturity.

          The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

7. Notice of Redemption

          At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Company
shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its
registered address. Notes in denominations of principal amount larger than $2,000 may be redeemed
in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be
redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the redemption date (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying
Agent, such money is segregated and held in trust) and certain other conditions are satisfied, on
and after such date interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called
for redemption.

8. Registration Rights

          The Company is party to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 21, 2006, among
the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. and
the other Initial Purchasers named therein, pursuant to which it is obligated to pay Additional
Interest upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

          The Notes are in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register, transfer or
exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part,
the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning

 A-6

 

 

15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the
date of such mailing.

10. Persons Deemed Owners

          The registered holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11. Unclaimed Money

          If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years after the
date of payment of principal and interest, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to
the Company at its request. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only
to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

12. Defeasance

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

13. Amendment, Waiver

          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may
be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or
the Notes may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in a connection with a tender offer or
exchange for Notes). However, the Indenture requires the consent of each Noteholder that would be
affected for certain specified amendments or modifications of the Indenture and the Notes. Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Noteholder, the
Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission,
defect or inconsistency, or to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor and the assumption by any such Person of the obligations of the Company or
such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Article V of the Indenture, or to add any additional
Events of Default, or to add to the covenants of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or
surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company, or to add one or more guarantees for the
benefit of the Holders of the Notes, or to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from
its guarantee of the notes in accordance with the Indenture, or to add collateral security with
respect to the Notes or any Guarantee, or to add or appoint a successor or separate trustee or
other agent, or to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture,
or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes, or to comply with any requirements in
connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or to comply with the rules
of any applicable securities depository, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes, or to change any other provision if the change does not adversely
affect the interests of any Noteholder.

 A-7

 

 

14. Defaults and Remedies

          Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest
on the Notes; (ii) default in payment of Principal on the Notes at its stated maturity date, upon
optional redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or
agreement in the Indenture or the Notes, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) failure to make
any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, in respect of Indebtedness of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of the Company or of any of its
Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) with an aggregate principal amount
then outstanding in excess of $35,000,000, subject to certain conditions; (v) default in respect of
other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of the
Company or of any of its Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) in an amount
in excess of $35,000,000, which results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness, subject to
certain conditions; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor; and (vii) the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be in full
force an effect during its term or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its
obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee, other than in connection with the termination of
such Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company are Events of
Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of
such Events of Default.

          Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or
security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or
Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it in good faith determines that
withholding notice is not opposed to their interest.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Company

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

16. No Recourse Against Others

          A director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Company), as such, of the Company
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or
the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

A-8

 

 

17. Authentication

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

18. Abbreviations

          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Noteholder or an assignee, such as TEN
COM (tenants in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entirety), 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).

19. [CUSIP and ISIN Numbers

          The Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or other similar numbers to be printed on
the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or other similar numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption
and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.] [For Notes to
be issued with CUSIP or ISIN numbers.]

20. Governing Law

York.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE NOTE]

[Reverse of Note]

7.456% Senior Notes due 2018

1. Interest

          Expedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with 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 Note at the rate of 7.456% per annum.

          The Company shall pay interest semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each
such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on [February 15, 2007] [first interest
payment date relating to any Additional Notes]. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from [August
21, 2006] [date of issuance of any Additional Notes], or from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid on the Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment

          By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of or
interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or
the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Company shall pay
interest (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the
close of business on the February 1 or August 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date
even if Notes are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the record date and on or before the
Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of
Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be
made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository
Trust Company. The Company may make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each
Holder thereof or by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the
payee.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

          The Bank of New York Trust Company N.A., a national banking association (the
“Trustee”), shall initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Noteholder. The Company or any of its
domestically organized wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent.

4. Indenture

          The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 21, 2006 (as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,

 B-3

 

 

the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on
the date of the Indenture (the “Trust Indenture Act”). Capitalized terms used herein and
not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to
all such terms, and Noteholders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a
statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

          The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Note is one of the Exchange
Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date,
any Additional Notes issued in accordance with Section 2.15 of the Indenture and any Exchange Notes
issued in exchange for the Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to create liens, enter into sale and
lease-back transactions and enter into mergers and consolidations.

          The Notes are guaranteed to the extent provided in the Indenture.

5. Repayment at Option of Holder

          This Note is subject to repayment in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 on
August 15, 2013 (the “Repayment Date”) at the option of the Holder hereof at a price equal to 100%
of the principal amount hereof to be repaid, together with interest hereon accrued to the Repayment
Date, all as provided in the Indenture. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, this Note, with
the “Option to Elect Repayment” form duly completed by the Holder hereof, must be received by the
Company at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or at such other address of which the Company
shall from time to time notify the Holder hereof) not earlier than June 1, 2013 nor later than June
30, 2013; provided, however, that if June 30, 2013 is not a Business Day, this
Note, with said “Option to Elect Repayment” form attached hereto duly completed may be received at
the aforementioned address on the next succeeding Business Day. Exercise of such option by the
Holder of this Note shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. If less than the entire
principal amount of this Note is to be repaid, the principal amount of this Note to be repaid, in
increments of $1,000, and the denomination or denominations of the Note or Notes to be issued to
the Holder hereof for the portion of the principal amount of this Note that is not to be repaid
must be specified. The principal amount of this Note may not be repaid in part at the option of
the Holder if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Note would be less
than the minimum authorized denomination of Notes under the Indenture. No transfer or exchange of
this security (or in the event this Note is to be repaid in part, such portion of this Note to be
repaid) will be permitted after exercise of the repayment option. All questions as to the
validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of this Note for repayment will be
determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding. Upon surrender and
cancellation of this Note to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder hereof, without service charge and at the expense of
the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder hereof, in
an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of this
Note which is not to be repaid.

 B-4

 

 

          In the event that Holders of the Notes elect to exercise the repayment option with respect to
95% or more of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes outstanding on July 2, 2013, the
Company may at its option redeem all, but not less than all, of such Notes remaining outstanding,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by mail, at any time on or after August
16, 2013, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest thereon
accrued to the redemption date, but interest installments which are due on or prior to such
redemption date will be payable to the Holder of record at the close of business on the relevant
record date referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. On such redemption
date, this Note shall become due and payable and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the redemption price therefor) this Note shall cease to bear interest.

6. Optional Redemption

          The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the
option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal
amount of such Notes and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments
thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date
on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate plus 37.5 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”), plus accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date.

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for the redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption
date.

          “Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or Lehman Brothers
Inc., or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company;
provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. or
two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company, and each of their respective successors
and any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any redemption date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid
and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury

 B-5

 

 

Dealer by 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption
date.

          “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal
to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately
preceding that redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the
Company will assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

          Except as set forth above and in Section 5 of the Notes, the Notes shall not be redeemable by
the Company prior to maturity.

          The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

7. Notice of Redemption

          At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Company
shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its
registered address. Notes in denominations of principal amount larger than $2,000 may be redeemed
in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be
redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the redemption date (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying
Agent, such money is segregated and held in trust) and certain other conditions are satisfied, on
and after such date interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called
for redemption.

8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

          The Notes are in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register transfer or
exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part,
the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a
notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed and ending on the date of such mailing.

9. Persons Deemed Owners

          The registered holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. Unclaimed Money

          If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years after the
date of payment of principal and interest, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the

 B-6

 

 

money back to the Company at its request. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the
money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

11. Defeasance

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

12. Amendment, Waiver

          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may
be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or
the Notes may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in a connection with a tender offer or
exchange for Notes). However, the Indenture requires the consent of each Noteholder that would be
affected for certain specified amendments or modifications of the Indenture and the Notes. Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Noteholder, the
Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission,
defect or inconsistency, or to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor and the assumption by any such Person of the obligations of the Company or
such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Article V of the Indenture, or to add any additional
Events of Default, or to add to the covenants of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or
surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company, or to add one or more guarantees for the
benefit of the Holders of the Notes, or to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from
its guarantee of the notes in accordance with the Indenture, or to add collateral security with
respect to the Notes or any Guarantee, or to add or appoint a successor or separate trustee or
other agent, or to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture,
or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes, or to comply with any requirements in
connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or to comply with the rules
of any applicable securities depository, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes, or to change any other provision if the change does not adversely
affect the interests of any Noteholder.

13. Defaults and Remedies

          Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest
on the Notes; (ii) default in payment of Principal on the Notes at its stated maturity date, upon
optional redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or
agreement in the Indenture or the Notes, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) failure to make
any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, in respect of Indebtedness of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of the Company or of any of its
Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) with an aggregate principal amount
then outstanding in excess of $35,000,000, subject to certain conditions; (v) default in respect of
other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of the
Company or of any of its Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) in an amount
in excess of $35,000,000, which results in the acceleration of such

 B-7

 

 

Indebtedness, subject to certain conditions; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
involving the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; and (vii) the Guarantee of any Subsidiary
Guarantor ceases to be in full force an effect during its term or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies
or disaffirms in writing its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee, other than in
connection with the termination of such Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company are Events of
Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of
such Events of Default.

          Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or
security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or
Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it in good faith determines that
withholding notice is not opposed to their interest.

14. Trustee Dealings with the Company

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

15. No Recourse Against Others

          A director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Company), as such, of the Company
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or
the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

16. Authentication

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

17. Abbreviations

          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Noteholder or an assignee, such as TEN
COM (tenants in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entirety), 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).

the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or other similar numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption
and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.] [For Notes to
