(2)           if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period; and

(3)           notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap Obligations in effect on the Transaction Date, will be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a pro forma calculation (as described above) is required to be made with respect to a transaction, the Transaction Date for the pro forma calculation relating to such transaction may be, at the election of the Issuer, (i) the time such transaction is completed or implemented or (ii) the time such transaction is approved by the Board of Directors or other appropriate governing authority of the Issuer.

ARTICLE 2

The Securities

SECTION 2.01.     Form and Dating.  Provisions relating to the Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities are set forth in Appendix A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture.  The Initial Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to Appendix A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture.  The Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 to Appendix A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of, this Indenture.  The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules and regulations, stock exchange rule or usage.  The Issuer and the Trustee shall approve the form of the Securities and any notation, legend or endorsement on them.  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall show the date of its issuance.  The terms of the Securities set forth in Appendix A and the exhibits thereto are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.02.     Execution and Authentication.  An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that or any office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

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

Other than the Securities for original issue authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000,000, at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.  The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the Securities are to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.15 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.04.  Upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities in substitution for Securities originally issued to reflect any name change of the Issuer.  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Securities.  Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuer.

The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any greater integral multiple of $1,000.

On the Acquisition Date, the Issuer and the Trustee will enter into a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Annex A.

SECTION 2.03.     Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, where (a) Securities may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), (b) Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served.  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.  The Issuer, upon written notice to the Trustee, may have one or more additional Paying Agents.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent.

41

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent.  If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.  The Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Agent.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of demands and notices in connection with the Securities, until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed.  The Paying Agent or Registrar may resign upon 45 days’ notice to the Issuer.

SECTION 2.04.     Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust.  The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities), and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment.  If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and hold it in a separate trust.  The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed.  Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Issuer to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.

SECTION 2.05.     Holder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee by each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing a list as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which list (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06.     Transfer and Exchange.  The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer.  When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture (including Appendix A hereto) and Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met.  When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

42

SECTION 2.07.     Replacement Securities.  If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s and Issuer’s requirements are met.  Such Holder shall provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Issuer and the Trustee, to protect the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced.  The Issuer may charge such Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.  Every replacement Security shall constitute an additional obligation of the Issuer and every replacement Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

SECTION 2.08.     Outstanding Securities.  Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or any of its Affiliates holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.  A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

If on a Redemption Date or the Final Maturity Date the Paying Agent holds (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, segregates and holds in trust) in accordance with the terms of this Indenture U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Securities payable on that date, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09.     Treasury Securities.  In determining whether the holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any such direction or consent, Securities owned by any obligor upon the Securities, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with any such obligor, shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice are so owned shall be disregarded.

The Trustee may require an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer listing Securities owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates.

SECTION 2.10.     Temporary Securities.  Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.  The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Securities are to be authenticated.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02, definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.11.     Cancellation.  The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and dispose of all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, in accordance with its customary practices.  Subject to Section 2.07, the Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

43

SECTION 2.12.     Defaulted Interest.  The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Securities.  The Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Securities.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest.  At least 10 days before the subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee (or cause the Trustee to mail) a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(a) shall be paid to Holders as of the regular Record Date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may make payment of defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed.

SECTION 2.13.     CUSIP Number.  The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers; provided, that Additional Securities that are not fungible with the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall not be issued under the same CUSIP number as the Securities. The Trustee shall use the applicable CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number.

SECTION 2.14.     Deposit of Moneys.  Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date and the Final Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.15.     Issuance of Additional Securities.  After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.04, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price.  The Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. To the extent that any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities are issued at a discount to their stated redemption price at maturity, each group of Additional Securities and Exchange Securities bearing a given amount of original issue discount shall be treated as a separate series only for purposes of the transfer and exchange provisions of Section 2.06.

44

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

(1)           the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.04 that the Issuer is relying on to issue such Additional Securities;

(2)           the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Securities; and

(3)           whether such Additional Securities shall be Initial Securities or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit 2 to Appendix A.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption

SECTION 3.01.     Notices to Trustee.  If the Issuer elects to redeem Securities pursuant to the redemption provisions of Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 7 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.  The Issuer shall give notice of redemption to the Paying Agent and Trustee at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter or longer notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), together with an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein, provided that in the event that the Issuer elects to request that the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Indenture, then the Issuer shall provide notice of redemption to the Trustee at least three business days prior to the 30-day deadline.  Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit the Issuer from irrevocably instructing the Trustee to provide a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.05 at a time prior to 60 days prior to the relevant Redemption Date.

SECTION 3.02.     Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.  In the event that less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to the redemption provisions of Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 7 of the Securities, the Trustee will select the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed among the Holders of the Securities as follows:

(1)           if the Securities are listed, in compliance with any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed; or

(2)           if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law or applicable depositary requirements;

45

The Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Securities in denominations of $2,000 or less may be redeemed only in whole.  The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $2,000 or any greater integral multiple of $1,000 thereof) of the principal amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03.     Notice of Redemption.  In the case of an optional redemption pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 7 of the Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date (subject to Section 3.07), the Issuer shall deliver electronically in pdf format or send, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically in pdf format or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 8 hereof.  At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense.  Each notice for redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number(s), if any) and shall state:

(1)           the Redemption Date;

(2)           the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid;

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

(4)           that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any;

(5)           that, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;

(6)           if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued upon surrender of the original Security;

(7)           if fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(8)           the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the Securities are to be redeemed; and

(9)           the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption or notice, if any.

SECTION 3.04.     Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, and subject to Section 3.07, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any.  Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, and subject to Section 3.07, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date), but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates.

46

SECTION 3.05.     Deposit of Redemption Price.  On or before 11:00 a.m. New York Time on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities to be redeemed on that date (other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation).  The Paying Agent or Trustee shall promptly return to the Issuer any U.S. Legal Tender so deposited which is not required for that purpose.

If the Issuer complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment when due of such Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment.

SECTION 3.06.     Securities Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender and cancellation of a Security that is to be redeemed in part only, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security or Securities in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 3.07.     Conditionality.  In connection with any redemption of Securities (including in any redemption described under Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 7 of the Securities), any such redemption or notice thereof may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any related Equity Offering or a Change of Control, and notice of any such redemption may be given prior to the completion of any conditions precedent.  In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

(b)          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, in the event that an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in the definition of Permitted Indebtedness, or is entitled to be incurred or issued, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 4.04(a), the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock on the date of its incurrence or issuance, as the case may be, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time) all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04 and such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or portion thereof, as applicable) will be treated as having been incurred or issued, as the case may be, pursuant to only such clause or clauses or Section 4.04(a).  Additionally, Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.04 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.04 permitting such Indebtedness.  Indebtedness under the Senior Facilities outstanding on the Effective Date will initially be deemed to have been incurred on the Effective Date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (2) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and may not later be reclassified prior to the time it is repaid.

54

(c)          Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant.

(d)          Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

(e)          For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if the Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.04, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing.

(f)          For the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness incurred to refinance, refund or replace Indebtedness incurred pursuant to any provision in the definition of Permitted Indebtedness (or the final proviso of Section 4.04(a)) that is limited by a percentage of Total Assets or by a multiple of Pro Forma EBITDA may be incurred pursuant to such provision, even if such refinancing, refunding or replacing Indebtedness could not be itself incurred pursuant to such provision at such time.

(g)         The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prohibit the incurrence of Secured Indebtedness with payment priority provisions.

55

SECTION 4.05.     Corporate Existence.  Except as otherwise permitted by Article 5, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done, at its own cost and expense, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents of the Issuer or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, and the rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises of the Issuer and each of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise, or the corporate existence of any Subsidiary (other than the Issuer), if an Officer of the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and each of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.06.     Payment of Taxes.  The Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors (taken as a whole) to perform their obligations under this Indenture or the rights of, or remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders under, this Indenture.

SECTION 4.07.     [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 4.08.     Compliance Certificate; Notice of Default.

(a)             The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each of the Issuer’s fiscal years, a certificate of the Issuer (signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal legal officer or principal accounting officer) stating that, in the ordinary course of the performance of his or her duties as an officer of the Issuer, he or she would have knowledge of any default by the Issuer in the performance of any of its Obligations under this Indenture, a review of its activities and the activities of its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing officer with a view to determining whether it has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its Obligations under this Indenture and further stating, as to such officer signing such certificate, that to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the Issuer during such preceding fiscal year has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every such Obligation and no Default or Event of Default has occurred during such year and at the date of such certificate there is no Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing or, if such officer does know of such Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default and its status in reasonable detail.  The certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the Issuer elect to change the manner in which it fixes its fiscal year end.

(b)           So long as any of the Securities are outstanding, if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee by electronic mail in pdf format or facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer specifying such event, notice or other action within 30 Business Days after its becoming aware of such occurrence.

SECTION 4.09.     [Intentionally Omitted].

56

SECTION 4.10.     SEC Reports. (a) Whether or not required by SEC rules and regulations, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:

(1)           all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed or furnished with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file or furnish such reports; and

(2)           all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Issuer’s consolidated financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants. In addition, following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer will file or furnish, as applicable, a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations (including Rules 12b-25 and 12h-5 under the Exchange Act) applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing).

               (b)          If, at any time after consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Issuer will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in Section 4.10(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified therein unless the SEC will not accept such a filing (in which case the Issuer shall post such reports on a publicly available portion of its or a Parent Company’s website). The Issuer will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.

(c)         The Issuer shall, for so long as any Securities remain outstanding, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by this Section 4.10, furnish to the holders of notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(d)          If at any time the Securities are guaranteed by a direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, and such Issuer has complied with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, and has filed with the SEC the reports described herein with respect to such Issuer, as applicable (including any financial information required by Regulation S-X under the Securities Act), the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.10. Any information filed with, or furnished to, the SEC shall be deemed to have been made available to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 4.10. The subsequent filing or making available of any report required by this Section 4.10 shall be deemed automatically to cure any Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to file or make available such report within the required time frame.

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d), above, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement contemplated by the registration rights agreement by filing with the SEC the registration statement for such Registered Exchange Offer or the shelf registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times prior to the Effective Date, the requirements under this Section 4.10 shall be deemed satisfied if the Issuer or Products Corporation files or furnishes with the SEC and the Trustee, as applicable, the foregoing.

57

SECTION 4.11.     Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.  The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of and/or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Issuer hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 4.12.     Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, conduct any business or enter into any transaction or series of similar transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, unless:

(1)           the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable when taken as a whole to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than terms that would be obtainable at the time for a comparable transaction or series of similar transactions in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third Person; and

(2)           to the extent that such Affiliate Transaction (other than Indebtedness Incurred as permitted Section 4.04) is known by the Board of Directors of the Parent or the Issuer to involve an Affiliate of the Issuer, other than any purchase or sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, involving aggregate payments or other consideration in excess of $50.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction has been approved (and the value of any noncash consideration has been determined) by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such approval (provided that if no member of the Board of Directors of the Parent or the Issuer is disinterested, the Issuer may deliver to the Trustee a letter from a nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that the financial terms of such transaction are fair to the Issuer from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (1) above).

The foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit the following:

(i)           any Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment permitted by this Indenture;

(ii)           any transaction among the Issuer, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any other entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; 

(iii)           any transaction between the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and its own employee stock ownership plan and the issuance or transfer of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to any Permitted Investor or to any director, manager, officer, employee or consultant of the Issuer, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Parent Company (or the estates, spouses or former spouses of any of the foregoing);

58

(v)           (a) any business or transaction with a Qualified Joint Venture or (b) commercially reasonable transactions between the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and any joint venture in the ordinary course of business that have been determined by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Issuer or Parent to comply with clause (2) of this Section 4.12;

(vi)           any transaction which is a Permitted Transaction;

(vii)           any transaction pursuant to which a Parent Company or any Affiliate of the Issuer will provide the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries at their request and at the cost to such Parent Company or Affiliate with certain allocated services, including services to be purchased from third party providers, such as legal and accounting services, tax, consulting, financial advisory, corporate governance, insurance coverage and other services;

(viii)           payments by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to a Parent Company or any Affiliate of the Issuer for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or Parent in good faith;

(ix)           any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Issuer with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of (a) reorganizing to facilitate a public offering of securities of the Issuer or a Parent Company, (b) forming or collapsing a holding company structure or (c) reincorporating the Issuer in a new jurisdiction;

(x)           transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (1) of this Section 4.12;

(xi)           transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise are permitted by the terms of this Indenture that are fair to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Issuer or Parent, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(xii)            the Transactions, including the Acquisition, and the payment of all premiums, fees, expenses and other amounts related to the Transactions (including payments required to be made pursuant to the Merger Agreement);

(xiii)           investments by a Parent Company or any Affiliate of the Issuer in securities of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as the investment is being offered generally to other investors on the same or more favorable terms;

59

(xiv)           sales or repurchases of accounts receivable, payment intangibles and related assets or participations therein, in connection with, or any other transactions relating to, any Receivables Facility;

(xv)           any capital contribution otherwise permitted by this Indenture or any transaction with an Affiliate in which the consideration paid by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer consists only of Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuer;

(xvi)            transactions between the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and any Person that is an Affiliate of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary solely because a director of such Person is also a director of the Issuer or any Parent Company; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Issuer or any Parent Company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person; 

(xvii)           pledges of Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(xviii)           joint purchasing arrangements with the Sponsor and Affiliates of the Issuer in the ordinary course of business or otherwise consistent with past practice;

(xix)            transactions with an Affiliate in its capacity as a purchaser or holder of Indebtedness or other securities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in which such Affiliate is treated no more favorably than the other purchasers or holders of Indebtedness or other securities of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (except as otherwise permitted under this covenant);

(xx)           entering into an agreement that provides registration rights to the equity holders of the Issuer or any Parent Company or amending such agreement with stockholders of any Parent Company and the performance of such agreements; and

(xxi)           any transaction, or the performance of any obligations under the terms of any Tax Sharing Agreement in effect on the Effective Date, or any amendments thereto that do not materially increase Products Corporation’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligations thereunder.

SECTION 4.13.     Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a)           pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;

(b)           make loans or advances to or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; or

(c)           transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer,

except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1)           applicable law and agreements with governmental authorities;

60

(2)           the Securities, this Indenture or any guarantee thereof;

(3)           (A) customary provisions restricting (1) the subletting or assignment of or under any lease or (2) the transfer of copyrighted or patented materials, (B) provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment or other transfer of such agreements (or property that is the subject thereof) or rights thereunder or (C) provisions of a customary nature contained in the terms of Capital Stock restricting the payment of dividends and the making of distributions on Capital Stock;

(4)           any agreement or instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than (a) the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired (including the Capital Stock of such Person), or (b) any Restricted Subsidiary having no assets other than (i) the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired (including the Capital Stock of such Person) and (ii) other assets having a fair market value not in excess of $5.0 million, and, in each case, the monetary proceeds thereof;

(5)           any agreement or instrument (A) in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, (B) governing Secured Indebtedness, including the Senior Facilities, permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.04, or (C) governing Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(6)           any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (9) or (13) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness;

(7)           restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Indenture;

(8)           restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets not in violation of this Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale;

(13)           any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting an Incurrence of Indebtedness otherwise permitted by this Indenture that does not materially and adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to make payments due with respect to the Securities, as determined in good faith by an Officer of the Issuer, the determination of which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate;

61

(14)           the subordination of any Indebtedness owed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(15)           an agreement effecting a refinancing, replacement or substitution of Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (2), (4) or (5) above or any other agreement evidencing Indebtedness permitted under this Indenture; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such refinancing, replacement or substitution agreement or any such other agreement (a) are not less favorable to the Issuer in any material respect as determined by the Issuer in good faith than the provisions of the Indebtedness being refinanced or (b) would not singly or in the aggregate have a materially adverse effect as determined by the Issuer in good faith on the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Securities;

(16)           restrictions created in connection with any Receivables Facility; provided that in the case of Receivables Facilities established after the Issue Date, such restrictions are necessary or advisable, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, to effect such Receivables Facility;

(17)           purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capitalized Lease Obligations that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (c) of this Section 4.13 on the property so acquired; and

(18)           restrictions or conditions contained in any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply, purchase or other agreement to which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that such agreement prohibits the encumbrance of solely the property or assets of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder or the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of any other Restricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.14.     Limitation on Liens.  (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by them, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom; provided, however, that in addition to creating Permitted Liens on their properties or assets, the Issuer and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may (i) in the case of Liens securing such Subordinated Indebtedness, create any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness upon any of their properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) if the Securities are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens; or (ii) in all other cases, create any Lien securing Indebtedness upon any of their properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) if the Securities are equally and ratably secured.

(b)          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.14, (A) Liens securing Indebtedness and obligations need not be incurred solely by reference to the proviso in Section 4.14(a) (the “Equal and Ratable Provision”) or to one category of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof) but are permitted to be incurred in part under any combination thereof, and (B) in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of the Equal and Ratable Provision or one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify, divide or later reclassify or redivide (as if incurred at such later time) such Liens (or any portions thereof) in any manner that complies with the Equal and Ratable Provision or the definition of Permitted Liens, and such Liens (or portions thereof, as applicable) will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision or such clause, clauses or subparts of the definition of Permitted Liens (and in the case of a subsequent division, classification or reclassification, such Liens shall cease to be divided or classified as it was prior to such subsequent division, classification or reclassification). Liens securing Obligations under the Credit Facilities on the Effective Date shall be deemed incurred pursuant to clause (2)(i) of the definition of Permitted Liens and shall not be reclassified prior to the repayment of the Obligations secured thereby.

62

(c)           To the extent that any Liens are imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, (i) Permitted Liens may be of any priority (including senior in priority) relative to any Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, except where otherwise specified, and (ii) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Liens ranking junior in priority to the liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision (“Junior Liens”). The Trustee shall enter into customary intercreditor arrangements with respect to such Permitted Liens, Junior Liens and Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, if any.

(d)          With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” with respect to any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common equity of the Issuer, the Parent or any other Parent Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in the definition of “Indebtedness.”

(e)           For the avoidance of doubt, any Lien securing Indebtedness incurred to refinance, refund or replace Indebtedness secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to any provision in the definition of Permitted Liens that is limited by a percentage of Total Assets or by reference to the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio may be incurred pursuant to such provision, even if the Lien securing such refinancing, refunding or replacing Indebtedness could not be itself incurred pursuant to such provision at such time.

(f)           For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the creation, incurrence or assumption of a Lien securing Indebtedness under this Section 4.14, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the Refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.14, the maximum amount of Indebtedness secured by a Lien that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness secured by Lien Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness secured by a Lien, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the Refinancing.

SECTION 4.15.     Change of Control.

(a)           Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Effective Date, each Holder will have the right to require that the Issuer repurchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that the Issuer will repurchase Securities of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part) of such Holder’s Securities, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

(b)           Within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control shall have occurred, the Issuer will send, electronically or by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, offering to purchase the Securities as described above (the “Change of Control Offer”).  The notice to the Holders shall contain instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Securities pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.  Such notice shall state:

(1)           that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Securities tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

(2)           the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (other than as may be required by law, the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

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

(4)           that, unless the Issuer defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5)           that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form titled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, via electronic mail in pdf format, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased;

(7)           that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered;

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

(9)           the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption or notice, if any.

(c)         On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will: (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered (in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that the Issuer will repurchase Securities of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part) pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities so tendered; and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer.  The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the Change of Control Payment Date and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.  Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed by the Issuer to the Holder thereof.  For purposes of this Section 4.15, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

64

(d)        Any amounts remaining after the purchase of Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer promptly shall be returned by the Trustee to the Issuer.

(e)        The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (a) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (b) a notice of redemption relating to the redemption of all of the Securities has been given pursuant to the redemption provisions of Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 7 of the Securities and Section 3.03 of this Indenture and, in the event that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, such conditions have been satisfied or waived.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control or other events, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.  The closing date of any such Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control may be changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control, provided that such closing date is not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer notice is transmitted as described in this Section 4.15.  Additionally, the Issuer may, at its option, include in any Change of Control Offer an early tender payment, early consent payment or consent payment, so long as any such payment is in addition to the purchase price set forth in Section 4.15(a).

(f)         If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

(g)        The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15 (or any other provisions of this Indenture relating to a Change of Control), the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 (or any other provisions of this Indenture relating to a Change of Control) by virtue thereof.

SECTION 4.16.     Limitation on Asset Sales.  (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)           the Issuer or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

65

(2)           at least 75% of the consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiaries, exclusive of indemnities, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale is cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition; provided that the amount of (a) any liabilities of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet (or in the notes thereto), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within one year of the time of such disposition, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received and (c) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $125.0 million and 4.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, will be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this clause (2); and

(3)           upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Issuer applies directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, or causes one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries to apply, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 450 days after receipt thereof, at the option of the Issuer, either (A) to repay any Secured Indebtedness the Incurrence of which was permitted by this Indenture (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness other than that governed by a “borrowing base” calculation, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, (B) to repay any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (C) to repay or repurchase Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that the Issuer shall (i) redeem or repurchase at least a pro rata portion of the Securities (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or repayments or repurchases of Pari Passu Indebtedness), by, at the Issuer’s option, (a) redeeming Securities as described under Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6 or Paragraph 7 of the Securities and Section 3.03 or (b) through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are a price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon) or (ii) offer to redeem or repurchase at least a pro rata portion of the Securities (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or repayments or repurchases of Pari Passu Indebtedness) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Net Proceeds Offer) to all Holders to purchase the Securities at a price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Securities that would otherwise be prepaid), (D) to make capital expenditures or to reinvest in Productive Assets (or enter into a binding commitment to reinvest, if such reinvestment is effected within 180 days after the date of such commitment), or (E) a combination of prepayment, reduction and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (3)(A) through (3)(D);

provided that (i) the 75% limitation referred to above will not apply to any sale, transfer or other disposition of assets in which the cash portion of the consideration received therefor is equal to or greater than what the after-tax net proceeds would have been had such transaction complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation, and (ii) with respect to any Asset Sale, the determination of compliance with clauses (1) and (2) above may be made, at the Issuer’s option, on either (x) the date on which such Asset Sale is completed or (y) the date on which a definitive agreement for such Asset Sale is entered into. On the 451st day after an Asset Sale (or the 181st day after the entry into a binding commitment to reinvest) or such earlier date, if any, as the Issuer may select, in its sole discretion (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clause (3) of the preceding sentence (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) the Issuer will make an offer to repurchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date (or such longer period as may be required by law), from all Holders, that amount of Securities equal to the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clause (3) of the preceding sentence multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Securities then outstanding and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness then outstanding (the “Pro Rata Amount”), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase.

66

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $50.0 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Net Proceeds Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates at least $50.0 million, at which time the Issuer will apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer, the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is at least $50.0 million being deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date.  To the extent that the aggregate purchase price of Securities tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Pro Rata Amount, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor may use such amount for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture.  Upon completion of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.

(c)           Notwithstanding Sections 4.16(a) and (b), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such provisions to the extent:

(1)           at least 50% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets; and

(2)           such Asset Sale is for fair market value; provided that the fair market value of any consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this Section 4.16(c) will constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions of Sections 4.16(a) and (b).

In the event of the transfer of substantially all, but not all, of the property and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01, the successor corporation will be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.16, and will comply with the provisions of this Section 4.16 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale.  In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold will be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.16.

67

(d)         Notice of a Net Proceeds Offer will be provided to Holders as shown on the register of Holders at their last registered address not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall contain instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Securities pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall state the following terms:

(1)           that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.16, that all Securities tendered will be accepted for payment; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Securities tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer plus accrued interest at the expiration of such offer exceeds the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds Offer, the Trustee will select the Securities or portions thereof to be repurchased (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Securities in denominations of $2,000 or multiples thereof shall be purchased) among the Holders as follows: (i) if the Securities are listed, in compliance with any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed; or (ii) if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate.  A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law;

(2)           the Net Proceeds Offer Amount (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date (which shall be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date (or such longer period as may be required by law) and which shall be at least five Business Days after the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Issuer);

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

(4)           that, unless the Issuer defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(5)           that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, via electronic mail in pdf format, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities such Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Securities purchased;

(7)           that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; provided, however, that each Security purchased and each new Security issued shall be in an original principal amount of $2,000 or any greater integral multiple of $1,000 thereof; and

(8)        the applicable conditions precedent to such redemption or notice, if any.

(e)        On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Issuer shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer which are to be purchased in accordance with item (1) above, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities to be purchased and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer.  The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any.  For purposes of this Section 4.16, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. Any amounts remaining after the purchase of Securities pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer promptly shall be returned by the Trustee to the Issuer.

68

(f)          If an offer is made to repurchase the Securities pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.16 (or any other provisions of this Indenture relating to Asset Sales), the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws, regulations and obligations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations hereunder by virtue thereof.

SECTION 4.17.     Limitation on guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)           From and after the Effective Date, the Issuer will not permit any Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Immaterial Subsidiary) directly or indirectly, by way of the pledge of any intercompany note or otherwise, to assume, guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Issuer, other than:

(A)           Indebtedness incurred in reliance on and in compliance with Section 4.04(a);

(B)           Indebtedness incurred in reliance on clause (12) (to the extent the Indebtedness being refinanced, modified, replaced, renewed, restated, refunded, deferred, extended, substituted, supplemented, reissued or resold was permitted to be guaranteed by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness;

(C)           Hedge Agreements in reliance on clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness; or

(D)           additional Indebtedness incurred in reliance on clause (13) or (14) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness,

unless, in any such case (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.17)

(x)           such Restricted Subsidiary has executed and delivered or, within 10 Business Days thereof,  executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, providing a Guarantee of payment of the Securities by such Restricted Subsidiary in the form required by this Indenture; and

(y)           if such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Securities, the Guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Subordinated Indebtedness is similarly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of the Securities.

69

(b)           Any Guarantee of the Securities by a Restricted Subsidiary shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

(1)           (a) such Subsidiary Guarantor being released from any and all guarantees of Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than guarantees permitted to be provided by non-Subsidiary Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.17(a), and (b) if such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain a Subsidiary of the Issuer, it has no other outstanding Indebtedness other than Indebtedness that could be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Securities on the date of the proposed release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee;

(2)           the unconditional release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its liability in respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such guarantee of the Securities was executed and delivered pursuant to Section 4.17(a);

(3)           any designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.03 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(4)           any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) (i) to any Person that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary), of all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) of any portion of the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, however, that

(x)           such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture; and

(y)           such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary has been released by the holders of the other Indebtedness so guaranteed

           (c)         Any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Subsidiary Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary, within 10 Business Days after which it shall provide a Guarantee as contemplated by Section 4.17(a)(D)(x) above.  If, at the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements of the Issuer are then available, all Immaterial Subsidiaries, in the aggregate, have total assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets and Total Revenues as of the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Revenues, one or more of such Subsidiaries shall, within 10 Business Days after such internal financial statements of the Issuer becoming available, provide a Guarantee so that in the aggregate the Total Assets of all Immaterial Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors as of the end of such fiscal year are not in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets and their Total Revenues as of the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available are not in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Revenues.

SECTION 4.18.     Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status.

(a)           Following the first day after the Effective Date that:

(1)           the Securities have achieved Investment Grade Status; and

70

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

then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date (as defined below), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of this Indenture set forth in (collectively, the ‘‘Suspended Covenants’’):

(i)              Section 4.03;

(ii)             Section 4.04;

(iii)            Section 4.12;

(iv)            Section 4.13;

(v)             Section 4.16;

(vi)            Section 4.17; and

(vii)           clause (2) of Section 5.01.

(b)           If at any time (a)(i) the Securities cease to have such Investment Grade Status and/or (ii) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, that transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause that Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Status for such Securities or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Securities below an Investment Grade Status or (b) a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated under this Indenture as if such covenants had never been suspended (the ‘‘Reversion Date’’) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Securities subsequently attain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Securities maintain an Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.  The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the ‘‘Suspension Period.’’

(c)           On the applicable Reversion Date: (i) all Indebtedness Incurred or Preferred Stock issued during such Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”; (ii) after any Reversion Date calculations of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.03 will be calculated as though the covenant described under Section 4.03 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period; (iii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the applicable Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during such Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.12(2); and (iv) for purposes of Section 4.13 all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to clause (5)(A) of Section 4.13.  No Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period, unless such designation would have complied with Section 4.03 as if such covenant were in effect during such period.  In addition, during the Suspension Period, the obligation to grant further Guarantees will be suspended.  Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant Guarantees will be reinstated.

71

(d)           The Issuer shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee indicating the commencement of any Suspension Period or the Reversion Date.  The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of the commencement of the Suspension Period or the Reversion Date.

SECTION 4.19.     Limitation on Activities of Escrow Issuer.  Prior to the Effective Date, the Escrow Issuer will not engage in any business activity (other than issuing the Securities, performing its obligations under this Indenture, the Escrow Agreement and the Securities, or redeeming the Securities if permitted or required by the terms of the Securities, and conducting such other activities as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the foregoing activities) or enter into any transaction or agreement (including, without limitation, making any Restricted Payment, incurring any Indebtedness, incurring any Liens, entering into any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or engaging in any transaction with its Affiliates) except in the ordinary course of business or necessary to effectuate the Transactions substantially in accordance with the description of the Transactions set forth in the Offering Memorandum, together with such amendments, modifications and waivers that are not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries (after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions), taken as a whole, or to the Holders of the Securities, as determined by the Issuer in good faith.

(1)           either (A) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be the surviving or continuing Person or (B) the Person, if other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or the Person that acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets determined on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Surviving Entity”), (x) shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (y) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Securities and the performance of every covenant of the Securities, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed or observed on the part of the Issuer;

(2)           immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(y) above, including giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction, either (A) the Issuer or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness, pursuant to Section 4.04 or (B) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, immediately following such transaction would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction;

(3)           immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(y) above, including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(4)           the Issuer or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (on which the Trustee may conclusively and exclusively rely), each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to the execution of such supplemental indenture have been satisfied.

For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer, by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, other than to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, in accordance with the foregoing, in which the Issuer is not the continuing Person, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such and the Issuer shall be relieved of all of its obligations and duties under this Indenture and the Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Escrow Merger,” as described in the Offering Memorandum, may be completed without compliance with clause (2) or (3) above.

(b)        Each Subsidiary Guarantor, other than any Subsidiary Guarantor whose guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of the Guarantee and this Indenture, will not, and the Issuer will not cause or permit any such Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person other than the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

(1)           the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor, or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

73

(2)           such entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee; and

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

Any merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer being the Surviving Entity, or into another Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, need not comply with this Section 5.01.

SECTION 5.02.     Successor Substituted.  Upon any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.01, in which the Issuer is not the surviving Person, the Surviving Entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Issuer herein and therein.  When a Surviving Entity assumes all of the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the Securities and agrees to be bound hereby and thereby, the predecessor shall be released from such Obligations.

ARTICLE 6

Default and Remedies

SECTION 6.01.     Events of Default.  An “Event of Default” means any of the following events:

(a)           the failure to pay interest on any Securities when the same becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b)           the failure to pay the principal on any Securities, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, including the failure to make a payment to repurchase Securities tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer;

(c)           a Default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, which Default continues for a period of 60 days after the Issuer receives written notice specifying the Default, and demanding that such Default be remedied, from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities;

(d)           the failure to pay at final maturity, giving effect to any extensions thereof, the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary (a “Payment Default”), other than intercompany Indebtedness, and such failure continues for a period of 20 days or more, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration, if, in either case, the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, in each case with respect to which the 20-day period described above has passed, aggregates $50.0 million or more at any time;

74

(e)           any final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money in excess (net of amounts covered by third-party insurance with insurance carriers who in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer are creditworthy and who have not disclaimed liability with respect to such judgment or judgments) of $50.0 million is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary and is not discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement is not in effect;

(f)           the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary: (i) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii) commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to itself; (iii) consents to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; (iv) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for substantially all of its property in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under a Bankruptcy Law; (v) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it under a Bankruptcy Law; (vi) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors under a Bankruptcy Law; or (vii) takes any partnership or corporate action, as the case may be, to authorize or effect any of the foregoing;

(g)           a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment, decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, which shall: (i) approve as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of the Issuer or any such Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under a Bankruptcy Law; (ii) appoint a Custodian of the Issuer or any such Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or for substantially all of any of their property in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under a Bankruptcy Law; or (iii) order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under a Bankruptcy Law; and, in each case, such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of at least 60 consecutive days; or

(h)           any of the Guarantees ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by this Indenture) or any of the Guarantees is held in a judicial proceeding to be null and void and unenforceable or any of the Guarantees is found to be invalid by a final judgment or order that is not appealable or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors denies its liability under its Guarantee, other than by reason of a release of a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

For the avoidance of doubt, after the commencement of an event (an “Insolvency Event”) specified in clause (f) or clause (g) above with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Significant Subsidiary, if such Restricted Subsidiary subsequently becomes a Significant Subsidiary, the occurrence of any events described in clause (f) or clause (g) above with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary arising from or in connection with such previously commenced Insolvency Event shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to such clause (f) or clause (g).

SECTION 6.02.     Acceleration.  During the continuance of any Event of Default specified in this Indenture (other than an Event of Default with respect to bankruptcy proceedings of the Issuer), the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding notes may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default with respect to bankruptcy proceedings of the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then such amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

75

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences: (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (iv) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than a Payment Default) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice reference the Securities and this Indenture.

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

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

SECTION 6.04.     Waiver of Past Defaults.  Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security as specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.01.  When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.

SECTION 6.05.     Control by Majority.  The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may, in the sole judgment of the Trustee, give rise to or subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee.

In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

76

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

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

(2)           the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)           such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole judgment, against any loss, liability or expense;

(4)           the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer described in clause (3) above; and

(5)           during such 30-day period the Holder or Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a written direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.

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

SECTION 6.07.     Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, 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 written consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08.     Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, which would require by the Trustee the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceedings related thereto, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the actual, documented and reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09.     Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Subsidiaries of the Issuer, their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

77

SECTION 6.10.     Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First:  to the Trustee and its agents for amounts due under Section 7.07;

Second:  if the Holders are forced to proceed against the Issuer directly without the Trustee, to Holders for their reasonable collection costs;

Third:  to holders of any Indebtedness of the Issuer secured by a Lien and, if such money or property has been collected from a Subsidiary Guarantor, to the holders of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor secured by a Lien;

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

Fifth:  to the Issuer.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

SECTION 6.11.     Undertaking for Costs.  Each party to this Indenture agrees and each Holder of any Security by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed that, 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 instituted by the Issuer or the Issuer, any suit instituted by the Trustee, any suit instituted by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or any suit instituted by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

SECTION 6.12.     Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holders, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

ARTICLE 7

Trustee

SECTION 7.01.     Duties of Trustee.

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

78

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

(1)           The Trustee need perform only those duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Indenture or the TIA and no covenants, duties or obligations whatsoever shall be implied under this Indenture that are adverse to the Trustee; and

(2)           In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions and such other documents delivered to it pursuant to Section 11.04 hereof furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

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

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

(d)           No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall reasonably believe that repayment of such funds is not assured to it or it does not receive an indemnity that is, in its sole discretion, adequate against such risk, liability, loss, fee or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(e)           Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.01.

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

(g)           In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any of the Securities delivered hereunder or the proceeds thereof.

79

SECTION 7.02.     Rights of Trustee.  Subject to Section 7.01:

(a)           The Trustee may rely conclusively 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 of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Sections 11.04 and 11.05.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

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

(d)           The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.

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

(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, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole judgment against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

(g)           Except with respect to Section 4.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuer with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4 hereof. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

(h)           The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate (including any Officers’ Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice to the Issuer, to examine the books, records, and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney.

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

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

80

(k)           The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(l)           In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive 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 7.03.     Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Subsidiaries of the Issuer, or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04.     Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities (other than the certificate of authentication of the Trustee), it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or any document issued in connection with the sale of Securities or any statement in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05.     Notice of Default.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Trustee receives written notice of such event, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, as their names and addresses appear on the Holder list described in Section 2.05, notice of the uncured Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee receives such notice.  Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any Security, including the failure to make payment on (i) the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or (ii) the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Event of Default.  The Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.  As used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or state of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto.

SECTION 7.06.     Reports by Trustee to Holders.  Within 60 days after May 15 of each year, beginning with May 15, 2017, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of May 15 that complies with TIA § 313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07.     Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services hereunder which compensation shall be agreed to from time to time in writing by the Issuer and the Trustee.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon written request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable and documented compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, accountants, experts and counsel. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.01(g) hereof, the expenses and compensation for such services, including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

81

The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for which it may seek indemnity.  At the Trustee’s reasonable discretion, the Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate and may participate in the defense; provided that any settlement of a claim shall be approved in writing by the Trustee.  Alternatively, the Trustee may at its option have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee.  The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent.  The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

To secure the Issuer’s payment Obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services shall be paid to the extent allowable under any Bankruptcy Law.  The Issuer’s Obligations under this Section 7.07 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Issuer’s Obligations pursuant to Article 8 and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08.     Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing at least 30 days in advance of such resignation and be discharged from the trust created hereby by so notifying the Issuer.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee.  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only with the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.  The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

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

82

(2)           the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(4)           the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall notify in writing each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.  Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Issuer for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.09.     Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee Person is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7.

SECTION 7.10.     Eligibility; Disqualification.  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2), if applicable, and 310(a)(5).  The Trustee shall be a commercial bank with trust powers or a trust company, which shall have (or, in the case of a financial institution, commercial bank with trust powers or a trust company included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuer are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

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

83

ARTICLE 8

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.01.     Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations.  The Issuer may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture (except as provided below) when:

(i)           all outstanding Securities theretofore authenticated have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; or

(ii)           the Issuer has called for redemption (or has irrevocably instructed the Trustee to do so on its behalf) pursuant to this Indenture of all of the Securities, deposited the amounts described in Section 8.03(a), satisfied the conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) of the proviso to Section 8.03(a) and delivered the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel described in Section 8.03(f).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (ii) above need not be delivered if all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer.

Notwithstanding this Section 8.01, the Issuer’s and the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08.  After the Securities are no longer outstanding, only the Issuer’s and the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under the Securities and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

SECTION 8.02.     Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(a)           The Issuer may, at its option by Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or (c) below be applied to all outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.03.

(b)           Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.04 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), and Holders of the Securities and any amounts deposited under Section 8.03 shall cease to be subject to any other obligations, except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due; (ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08 and 4.02; (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture; and (iv) this Article 8.  Subject to compliance with this Section 8.02, the Issuer may exercise its option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph (c) hereof.

84

(c)           Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, be released from their Obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.12 through 4.19 and Article 5 with respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes) and Holders of the Securities and any amounts deposited under Section 8.03 shall cease to be subject to any other obligations.  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(c), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) and 6.01(h) shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.03.     Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02(b) or 8.02(c) to the outstanding Securities:

(a)           the Issuer irrevocably deposits, or causes to be deposited, with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security agreement (i) U.S. Legal Tender, (ii) U.S. Government Obligations or (iii) a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, which through the payment of interest and principal will provide, not later than one day before the due date of payment in respect of the Securities, U.S. Legal Tender in an amount which is sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities then outstanding on the dates on which any such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the Securities (with the sufficiency of such amount to be based on the advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Trustee expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee if such deposit includes any U.S. Government Obligations); provided, however, that (i)  the Trustee of the irrevocable trust shall have been irrevocably instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the Trustee; and (ii) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such U.S. Legal Tender or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Securities;

(b)           in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Legal Defeasance had not occurred and such Opinion of Counsel in the United States must be based on a public or private ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law or regulation; and

85

(c)           in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of which will be used to defease the Securities concurrently with such incurrence);

(e)           such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer or the Issuer is bound other than agreements or instruments to be discharged or terminated in connection therewith; and

(f)           the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with or waived.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clauses (b) and (c) above need not be delivered if all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year.

SECTION 8.04.     Application of Trust Money.  The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the U.S. Legal Tender from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities.  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations except as it may agree with the Issuer.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the Issuer’s request any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

86

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a tender offer by the Issuer for outstanding Securities that is in progress at the time of such deposit, such money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Article 8 may be applied to pay any cash consideration for any Securities validly tendered into such tender offer and not validly withdrawn.

SECTION 8.05.     Repayment to the Issuer.  Subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon written request any excess U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for one year; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.  After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law abandoned property designates another Person.

SECTION 8.06.     Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Article 8 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 Issuer’s and the Issuer’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Article 8; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its Obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

Amendments, Supplements and Waivers

SECTION 9.01.     Without Consent of Holders.  The Issuer and the Trustee, together, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Holder:

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

(2)           to evidence the succession in accordance with Article 5 hereof of another Person to the Issuer and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein and in the Securities;

(3)           to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Indenture or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(4)           to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

87

(5)           to make any change that would provide any additional benefit or rights to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect;

(6)           to add a Subsidiary Guarantor or an additional obligor under this Indenture, or to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(7)           to conform any provision of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees to the text of the section entitled “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in such “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees, as certified to the Trustee in an Officers’ Certificate; or

(8)           to secure the Securities and the Guarantees;

provided that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer, each stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of this Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.02.     With Consent of Holders.  Subject to Section 6.07, the Issuer and the Trustee, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount, unless a greater principal amount is specified herein, of the outstanding Securities, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities, without notice to any other Holders.  Subject to Section 6.07, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount, unless a greater principal amount is specified herein, of the outstanding Securities may waive compliance by the Issuer or the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Holder.  Without the consent of each Holder affected, however, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may:

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

(2)           reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Securities;

(3)           reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Securities, or change the date on which any Securities may be subject to redemption (other than a change to the required notice period), or reduce the redemption price therefor;

(4)           make any Securities payable in money other than that stated in the Securities;

(5)           make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Security on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities to waive Defaults or Events of Default (other than Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities); or

(6)           adversely affect the ranking of the Securities or the Guarantees as to contractual right of payment.

88

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement, waiver or supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.03.     Compliance with TIA.  From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04.     Revocation and Effect of Consents.  Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of his Security by written notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

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

SECTION 9.06.     Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.  The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.  The Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

Guarantee of Securities

SECTION 10.01.     Unconditional Guarantee.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis (such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that:  (a) the principal of and interest on the Securities shall be promptly paid in full when due (subject to any applicable grace periods) whether at maturity, upon redemption, upon repurchase at the option of Holders pursuant to the provisions of the Securities relating thereto, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Securities and all other Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof) and all other Obligations shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other Obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of (a) and (b) to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04.  Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Securities, for whatever reason, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately.  An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Securities shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Securities to accelerate the Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the Obligations of the Issuer.

89

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its Obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee.  This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or to any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

No stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or incorporator, past, present or future, of any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under this Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or incorporator.

90

Each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Issuer) that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Issuer), determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 10.02.     Limitations on Guarantees.  The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Obligations of the Issuer under its Guarantee) will be limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under any laws of the United States, any state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia.

SECTION 10.03.     Execution and Delivery.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect (unless released in accordance with Section 10.04) notwithstanding any failure to endorse on any Security a notation of such Guarantee.

If an Officer of a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that or any office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Security, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless.

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

SECTION 10.04.     Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(a)           Upon (i) the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Issuer) by the Issuer that is permitted by Section 4.16 or the consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into any Person in compliance with Article 5, in each case, (A) other than to the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor and (B) in a transaction following which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Issuer) in accordance with this Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to this Article 10 shall be released, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all Obligations under this Indenture and the Securities without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Any Subsidiary Guarantor not so released or the entity surviving such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall remain or be liable under its Guarantee as provided in this Article 10.  Concurrently with the defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Securities under Article 8 hereof, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from all of their Obligations under this Indenture and the Securities.

The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Obligations under its Guarantee pursuant to this Article 10.

91

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and this Section 10.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

SECTION 10.05.     Waiver of Subrogation.  Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Securities are discharged and paid in full, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations under its Guarantee under this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.  If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities under the Securities, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the Obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.06.     Obligations Continuing.  Subject to Section 10.04, the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.

SECTION 10.07.     Obligations Reinstated.  Subject to Section 10.04, the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of a Subsidiary Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.  If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Issuer is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, all such Obligations otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor as provided herein.

SECTION 10.08.     Waiver.  Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 10.01, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Issuer, protest or notice of dishonor of any of the Obligations.

SECTION 10.09.     No Obligation to Take Action Against the Issuer.  Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or against the Issuer or any other Person or any property of the Issuer or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Subsidiary Guarantors of their liabilities and Obligations under this Indenture.

92

SECTION 10.10.     Default and Enforcement.  If any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 10.01, the Trustee may proceed in its name as Trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Subsidiary Guarantor and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Subsidiary Guarantor the Obligations under this Indenture.

SECTION 10.11.     Amendment, Etc.  No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to any Subsidiary Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee, other than a release pursuant to Section 10.04.

SECTION 10.12.     Acknowledgment.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Indenture and the Securities and consents to and approves of the same.

SECTION 10.13.     Costs and Expenses.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Guarantee.

SECTION 10.14.     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Indenture or the Securities, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Indenture or the Securities preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee under this Indenture, the Securities and any other document or instrument between a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or the Issuer and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

SECTION 10.15.     Successors and Assigns.  Each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Subsidiary Guarantor may assign any of its Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.16.     Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (such Subsidiary Guarantor, a “Funding Subsidiary Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to a pro rata contribution from all other Subsidiary Guarantors based on the net assets (determined in accordance with GAAP) of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Subsidiary Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Subsidiary Guarantor in discharging the Issuer’s Obligations with respect to the Securities or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations with respect to its Guarantee hereunder.

SECTION 10.17.     Future Subsidiary Guarantors.  The Issuer shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent required by Section 4.17, in each case, to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture and thereby become a Subsidiary Guarantor bound by the Guarantee of the Securities on the terms set forth in this Article 10; provided that no Subsidiary that is not a Domestic Subsidiary and no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor.

2.           The Securities

2.1           Form and Dating

(a)           The Initial Securities issued on the date hereof will be (i) offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Agreement and (ii) resold, initially only to (1) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (2) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S.  Such Initial Securities may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs and purchasers in reliance on Regulation S.  Additional Securities offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Issuer from time to time pursuant to one or more Purchase Agreements in accordance with applicable law.

(b)           Global Securities.  Rule 144A Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in definitive, fully registered form (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Security”) and Regulation S Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global Securities (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Security”), in each case without interest coupons and bearing the Global Securities Legend and Restricted Securities Legend, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Securities Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture.  Beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Security shall not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Security or any other Security without a Restricted Securities Legend until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.  The Rule 144A Global Security and the Regulation S Global Security are each referred to herein as a “Global Security” and are collectively referred to herein as “Global Securities”; provided that the term “Global Security” when used in Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(c), 2.3(g)(i), 2.3(h)(i) and 2.4 of this Appendix A shall also include any Security in global form issued in connection with a Registered Exchange Offer.  The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee.  For purposes of this Indenture, Securities resold after an initial resale thereof to “institutional accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) and (7) under the Securities Act) will be treated in the same manner as the Rule 144A Global Security.

(c)           Book-Entry Provisions.  This Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to a Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.02 of this Indenture, and pursuant to an authentication order delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Indenture, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as Securities Custodian.

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

Appendix A-3

(d)           Definitive Securities.  Except as provided in Section 2.3 or 2.4 of this Appendix A, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Securities.

The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuer signed by two Officers Exchange Securities for issue only in a Registered Exchange Offer pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement and for a like principal amount of Initial Securities exchanged pursuant thereto.  Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date the Exchange Securities are to be authenticated.  The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be outstanding at any time is unlimited.

2.3           Transfer and Exchange.

(a)           Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities.  When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request:

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

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

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

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

(2)           in the case of Transfer Restricted Securities, are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(A)           if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Security); or

(B)           if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Security); or

A Definitive Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, together with:

(i)           certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Security) that such Definitive Security is being transferred (1) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (2) outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act;

(ii)           if the Issuer so requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i) of this Appendix A; and

(iii)           written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled.  If no Global Securities are then outstanding and the Global Security has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix A, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, in accordance with Section 2.02 of this Indenture, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

(c)           Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.  Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Securities to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

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

Appendix A-5

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

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

(d)           Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Security.  (i)  Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in the Regulation S Global Security may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (1) to the Issuer, (2) so long as such Security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (3) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (4) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act or (5) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.  Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Security shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Security to the effect that such transfer is being made to a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.  Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.

Revlon Escrow Corporation (to be merged with and into Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation”)), a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above; [provided, however, that the Issuer shall also pay “Additional Interest” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as it may be required to do so under the Registration Rights Agreement.]2 All references in this Security and in the Indenture to interest payable on any Security shall include any such Additional Interest.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 1, 2017.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer shall pay interest at the rate of interest then borne by the Securities on overdue installments of principal and on overdue installments of interest to the extent lawful as provided in the Indenture.

2.           Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Securities are cancelled after such Record Date and before the corresponding Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuer 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 (“U.S. Legal Tender”).  However, the Issuer may pay principal and interest by wire transfer of federal funds, or interest by check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender.  The Issuer may deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

3.           Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.  The Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or Paying Agent.

4.           Indenture

The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2016 (the “Indenture”), between the Escrow Issuer and the Trustee.  The Obligations under this Security and the Indenture will be assumed by Revlon Consumer Products Corporation pursuant to a supplemental indenture. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and as it may be amended from time to time.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.  To the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Security and the terms and provisions of the Indenture, the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

1.           Interest

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above[; [provided, however, that the Issuer shall also pay “Additional Interest” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as it may be required to do so under the Registration Rights Agreement.]4 All references in this Security and in the Indenture to interest payable on any Security shall include any such Additional Interest.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 1, 2017.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer shall pay interest at the rate of interest then borne by the Securities on overdue installments of principal and on overdue installments of interest to the extent lawful as provided in the Indenture.

2.           Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Securities are cancelled after such Record Date and before the corresponding Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuer 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 (“U.S. Legal Tender”).  However, the Issuer may pay principal and interest by wire transfer of federal funds, or interest by check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender.  The Issuer may deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

3.           Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.  The Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or Paying Agent.

4.           Indenture

The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2016 (the “Indenture”), between the Escrow Issuer and the Trustee.  The Obligations under this Security and the Indenture will be assumed by Revlon Consumer Products Corporation pursuant to a supplemental indenture. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and as it may be amended from time to time.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.  To the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Security and the terms and provisions of the Indenture, the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Securities are senior, unsecured obligations of the Issuer.

(i)           that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;

As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Issuer and the Guarantors that (i) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or any Guarantor and (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall:

(i)           accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

(ii)           deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Issuer and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such Holder; provided that in the case of any Registrable Securities held in global form by a depositary, authentication and delivery to such depositary of one or more Exchange Securities in global form in an equivalent principal amount thereto for the account of such Holder in accordance with the Indenture shall satisfy such authentication and delivery requirement.

The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer.  Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff.

(b)           In the event that (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or cannot be completed promptly after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff or (ii) any Holder of Registrable Securities shall notify (a “Shelf Request”) the Issuer within 20 Business Days of the initial filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that such Holder (A) is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or (B) is a Participating Broker-Dealer and holds Securities (including the Initial Purchasers who hold Securities as part of an unsold allotment from the original offering of the Securities) acquired directly from the Issuer or one of its affiliates, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective.

7

In the event that the Issuer and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by any Holder that meets the requirements of (A) or (B) of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, after completion of the Exchange Offer.

The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date that is 365 days after the date such Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”) or, if earlier, until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall have been sold.  The Issuer and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Issuer for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable.  The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

(c)           The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof.  Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

(d)           (i) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC.  A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act.

8

(ii)           In the event that the Exchange Offer is not completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, does not become effective on or prior to October 28, 2017 (the “Target Registration Date”), the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period and will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective, or the obligation to conduct the Exchange Offer and/or file the Shelf Registration Statement terminates pursuant to Section 2(g), at which time, in each case, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities shall revert to the original interest rate on the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event will such additional interest exceed 1.00% per annum; provided, further, in the event that the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or chief legal officer of the Issuer has determined, in the good faith exercise of his or her reasonable business judgment, that filing the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, or causing the completion of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, would require the Issuer or the Guarantors to disclose a material financing, acquisition, disposition or other corporate development and that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Issuer and the Guarantors, the Target Registration Date may be suspended, from time to time, for up to 90 days in the aggregate, taken together with any Paragraph (iii) Suspension Period, so long as such condition exists (each, a “Paragraph (ii) Suspension Period”).

(iii)           If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has become effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by this Agreement, at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 30 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period commencing on the 31st day in such 12-month period, and will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again become effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable, at which time, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities shall revert to the original interest rate on the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event will such additional interest exceed 1.00% per annum; provided, further, in the event that the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or chief legal officer of the Issuer has determined, in the good faith exercise of his or her reasonable business judgment, that keeping the Shelf Registration Statement effective would require the Issuer or the Guarantors to disclose a material financing, acquisition, disposition or other corporate development and that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Issuer and the Guarantors, the foregoing requirement to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective and the Prospectus therein usable may be suspended, from time to time, for up to 90 days in the aggregate, taken together with any Paragraph (ii) Suspension Period, so long as such condition exists (each, a “Paragraph (iii) Suspension Period” and, together with each Paragraph (ii) Suspension Period, the “Suspension Periods”).

9

(e)           Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the Issuer or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

(f)           The Issuer represents, warrants and covenants that it (including its agents and representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives.

(g)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors to effect the Exchange Offer and/or file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) shall terminate on the date that is two years after the date of this Agreement or, if earlier, on the first date on which no Registrable Securities are held by the Holders.

(xiii)           in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon reasonable advance notice, make reasonably available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities (an “Inspector”), any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, any attorneys and accountants designated by a majority of the Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration and any attorneys and accountants designated by such Underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of Parent and its subsidiaries, at a location where they are normally kept and during normal business hours at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, and shall, upon reasonable advance notice, use reasonable efforts to cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Issuer and the Guarantors to make available all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as is customary for similar “due diligence” examinations; provided that any information that is provided by the Issuer shall be kept confidential by such persons, unless disclosure thereof is made in connection with a court, administrative or regulatory proceeding or required by law, or such information has become available to the public generally through the Issuer or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality, or the Issuer consents to the non-confidential treatment of such information;

(xiv)           if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment reasonably promptly after the Issuer has received notification of the matters to be so included in such filing;

(xv)           in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other customary actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering, and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of Parent and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when reasonably requested, (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuer and the Guarantors (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory (based on the customary form and substance of opinions of issuers’ counsel customarily given in an underwritten offering) to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, (3) obtain “comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Issuer and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or of any business acquired by the Issuer or any Guarantor for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus and (4) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement; and

13

(xvi)           until the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have complied with all of their obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement, cause each Additional Guarantor, within five Business Days after becoming a party to the Indenture, to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A and to deliver such counterpart to the Initial Purchasers no later than five Business Days following the execution thereof.

(b)           In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Issuer and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in writing, and the Issuer may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within 20 Business Days after receiving such request, without prejudice to that Holder’s right to request participation in subsequent amendments to or filings of a Shelf Registration Statement.

(c)           In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities covered in such Shelf Registration Statement agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer and the Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v)(3) or 3(a)(v)(5) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix) hereof and, if so directed by the Issuer and the Guarantors, such Holder will deliver to the Issuer and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.

(d)           If the Issuer and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions.  The Issuer and the Guarantors may suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period and such suspensions shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360-day period; provided that the Issuer may not suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement to avoid its obligations hereunder.

14

(e)           At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement shall be effective with respect to Registrable Securities of a Holder and such Holder desires to initiate an offering or sale of all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities that does not constitute an Underwritten Offering (a “Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown”), such Holder shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Issuer no later than two Business Days prior to the expected date of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which request shall include (i) the type and total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown and (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown.  For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed to by the Holder submitting the request for a Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown, no other Holder shall have the right to participate in such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

(f)           The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement also may from time to time request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered under such Shelf Registration Statement and does not include any marketing efforts by the Issuer or its management, including a “block trade” (an “Underwritten Offering”); provided that in the case of each such Underwritten Offering, the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold shall have an aggregate offering price of at least $15 million.  All requests for Underwritten Offerings shall be made by giving written notice to the Issuer (an “Underwritten Offering Notice”).  Each Underwritten Offering Notice shall specify (i) the approximate number of Registrable Securities to be sold in the Underwritten Offering and (ii) the name(s) of the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each, an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering, which Underwriters will be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject to the approval of the Issuer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders requesting the Underwritten Offering, no other Holder shall have the right to participate in such Underwritten Offering.

4.           Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.

 

(a)           The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

15

The Issuer and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.

(b)           In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement), if requested by the Initial Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above.  The Issuer and the Guarantors further agree that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4.

(c)           The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

5.           Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a)           Escrow Corp and, upon execution of the Joinder Agreement on the Acquisition Date, the Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors, employees and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees of counsel reasonably selected by the Representatives and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to the Issuer in writing through the Representatives or through any selling Holder expressly for use therein.  In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, Escrow Corp and, upon execution of the Joinder Agreement on the Acquisition Date, the Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information.

16

(b)           Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Escrow Corp, Initial Purchasers, the other selling Holders, each Person, if any, who controls Escrow Corp, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of Section 20 of the Exchange Act and, upon execution of the Joinder Agreement on the Acquisition Date, the Company, the Guarantors, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors, each officer of the Company and the Guarantors who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Holder (including information furnished by such Holder indirectly through the Representatives) expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus.

(c)           If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above.  If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other Indemnifying Persons similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably, based on advice of counsel, concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons which are inconsistent with those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnifying Person or Indemnifying Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Persons or Indemnified Persons (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (in each relevant jurisdiction)).  Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of such Indemnifying Person’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Person of counsel, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the provision to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), which shall be selected by the Representatives (in the case of counsel representing the Initial Purchasers or their related persons), representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such action) or (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Person.  The Indemnifying Person under this Section 5 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

17

(d)           If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, Escrow Corp and the Guarantors from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, Escrow Corp and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, Escrow Corp and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, Escrow Corp and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or by the Holders, on the other hand, and to the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e)           The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above.  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, (i) in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 5, each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer or the Guarantors, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5(e).  The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint.

(f)           The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

(g)           The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

6.           General.

 

(a)           No Inconsistent Agreements.  The Issuer and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or any Guarantor under any other agreement and (ii) neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(b)           Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuer and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no such consent need be obtained to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent is proposed to be made (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to evidence the succession of another person to the Issuer and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein; (iii) to make any change that would provide any additional benefit or rights to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect and, in each case, the Issuer delivers an opinion of counsel and officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying that the amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent complies with this Section 6(b); and provided further, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder.  Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

(c)           Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered or certified first-class mail (return receipt requested), facsimile, e-mail or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Issuer by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Issuer and the Guarantors, initially at the Issuer’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).  All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given:  at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when confirmation of transmission has been recorded by the sender’s facsimile machine, if sent by facsimile; upon actual receipt, if e-mailed; and on the next Business Day, if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.  Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

18

(d)           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture.  If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.  The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Issuer or the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.

(e)           Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Each Holder shall be a third-party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder.

(f)           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed signature page by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(g)           Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof

(h)           Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York.  The parties hereto agree that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York, and the parties hereto agree to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.  THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

(i)           Entire Agreement; Severability.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.  The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions.
