ARTICLE II

 

THE SECURITIES

 

Section 2.1                                      Form and Dating

 

(a)                                  General. The Securities and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A hereto. Any notation of Subsidiary Guarantee shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit D hereto, and shall be notated on the Securities. The
Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
The Securities shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in
the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution
and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions
and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Security
or any Subsidiary Guarantee conflicts with

 

30

 

the express provisions of this Indenture, the
provisions of this Indenture (to the extent permitted by law) shall govern and
be controlling.

 

(b)                                 Global Securities. Securities issued in
global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (including the Global Security Legend thereon and the “Schedule of
Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security” attached thereto). Securities
issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (but without the Global Security Legend thereon and without the
“Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security” attached thereto). Each
Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be
specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented
thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to
reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to
reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the
Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in
accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section
2.6 hereof.

 

(c)                                  Regulation S Global Securities. Any
Securities offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued
initially in the form of a Regulation S Global Security, 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
the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on
behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Prior to the expiration
of the Restricted Period, any resale or transfer of beneficial interests in a
Regulation S Global Security to U.S. Persons shall not be permitted unless such
resale or transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S.

 

(d)                                 144A Global Securities. Any Securities
offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form
of a 144A Global Security, 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 the nominee of the Depositary, duly
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided.

 

(e)                                  Definitive Securities. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article II, any issuance of Definitive
Securities shall be at the Company’s discretion, except in the specific
circumstances set forth in Section 2.6(a) hereof.

 

Section 2.2                                      Execution and Authentication

 

(a)                                  An
Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature. One Officer shall sign each notation of Subsidiary Guarantee for
each Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature.

 

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

 

31

 

(c)                                  A
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee
manually authenticates the Security. The signature of the Trustee on a Security
shall be conclusive evidence that such Security has been duly and validly
authenticated and issued under this Indenture.

 

(d)                                 The
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver: (1) Initial Securities for original
issue in an aggregate principal amount of $425,000,000, (2) if and when issued,
Additional Securities (which may be issued in either a registered or a private
offering under the Securities Act) and (3) Exchange Securities for issue
only in an exchange offer pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, and only
in exchange for Initial Securities or Additional Securities of an equal
principal amount, in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by
one Officer of the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the
Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the issue of Securities is
to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be in global or
definitive form and whether they are to bear the Private Placement Legend. The
Company may issue Additional Securities under this Indenture subsequent to the
Issue Date, subject to Section 4.3 of this Indenture; provided, however, that no Additional  Securities may be issued at a price that
would cause such Additional Securities to have “original issue discount” within
the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code.

 

(e)                                  The
Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable
to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of
such appointment, any such 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.

 

Section 2.3                                      Registrar and Paying Agent

 

(a)                                  The
Company shall at all times maintain in the continental United States an office
or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange (the “Registrar”), and it shall likewise maintain an office or agency
where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and
exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and
the term “Paying Agent” includes any such additional paying agent.

 

(b)                                 The
Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.15, or as Registrar. Any Paying Agent or
Registrar may resign as such upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company
and the Trustee; upon resignation of any Paying Agent or Registrar, the Company
shall appoint a successor Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be,
complying with the requirements of this Section 2.3, no later than 30
days thereafter and shall provide notice to the Trustee of such successor
Paying Agent or Registrar.

 

(c)                                  The
Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as
Registrar and Paying Agent for the Securities at its Corporate Trust Office. The
place of payment with respect to the Securities, in addition to the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, shall be New York, New York, and at such time, if
ever, as the Securities are no longer

 

32

 

represented by one or more Global Securities,
the Company shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent in New York, New York,
the intention of the Company being that, after giving effect to the procedures
of the Depositary respecting payments on Global Securities, the Securities
shall at all times be payable in New York, New York.

 

(d)                                 The
immunities, protections and exculpations available to the Trustee under this
Indenture shall also be available to each Agent, and the Company’s obligations
under Section 7.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee shall extend
likewise to each Agent.

 

Section 2.4                                      [Intentionally Omitted]

 

Section 2.5                                      Holder Lists

 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee, in writing at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment
Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in
such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of Holders.

 

Section 2.6                                      Transfer and Exchange

 

(a)                                  Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.
A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to
a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary
or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such
nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Global
Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole, as provided in Section
2.7 hereof. Owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities shall not
be entitled to receive Definitive Securities unless:

 

(1)                                  the
Company delivers to the Trustee and the Registrar notice from the Depositary
that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is
no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either
case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days;

 

(2)                                  there
has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and the Depositary notifies
the Trustee and the Registrar of its decision to exchange the Global Securities
for Definitive Securities; provided
that in no event shall the Regulation S Global Security be exchanged by the
Company for Definitive Securities prior to the expiration of the Restricted
Period; or

 

(3)                                  any
such owner requests (through a Direct or Indirect Participant) an exchange of
its beneficial interest in a Global Security for a Definitive Security, and the
Depositary gives the Trustee and the Registrar, in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures, at least 20 days’ prior notice of the request.

 

33

 

Upon the occurrence of any of the events in clause (1), (2) or (3)
above, Definitive Securities shall be issued in such names and authorized
denominations as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee and the Registrar in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Neither the Company, the Guarantors
nor the Trustee or the Registrar will be liable for any delay by the Depositary
in identifying the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security, and
each of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar may
conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from
the Depository for all purposes of this Indenture.

 

(b)                                 Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the
Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests
in the Global Securities shall be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.
Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities also shall require
compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as
one or more of the other following provisions of this Section 2.6,
as applicable:

 

(1)                                  Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global
Security. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Security may
be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in the same Restricted Global Security in accordance with the transfer
restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the
expiration of the Restricted Period, (A) transfers of beneficial interests
in the Regulation S Global Security may not be to a U.S. Person or for the
account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser) and
(B) such beneficial interests may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream
(as Indirect Participants in the Depositary). Beneficial interests in any
Unrestricted Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in such Unrestricted Global
Security. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered
to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in the preceding sentence of
this Section 2.6(b)(1).

 

(2)                                  All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial
Interests in Global Securities. In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.6(b)(1)
above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar
either:

 

(A)                              (i)                                     a written order
from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or
cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an
amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

 

(ii)                                       instructions
given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information
regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or

 

(B)                                (i)                                     a written order
from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing

 

34

 

the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Security in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

 

(ii)                                       instructions
given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the
Person in whose name such Definitive Security shall be registered to effect the
transfer or exchange referred to in Section 2.6(b)(2)(B)(i) above; provided that in no event shall
Definitive Securities be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Global Security prior to the expiration of the
Restricted Period.

 

Upon consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer by the Company in
accordance with Section 2.6(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section
2.6(b)(2) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the
Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered
by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities.
Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of
beneficial interests in Global Securities contained in this Indenture, the
Securities or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the principal
amount of the relevant Global Security(s) shall be adjusted pursuant to Section
2.6(h) hereof.

 

(3)                                  Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another
Restricted Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Restricted
Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Security if the
transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.6(b)(2) above and
the Registrar receives the following:

 

(A)                              if the transferee will
take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Security,
then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

 

(B)                                if the transferee will
take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit
B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof, and if such
transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, then the
transferee must hold such beneficial interest through either Euroclear or
Clearstream (as Indirect Participants in the Depositary).

 

(4)                                  Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a
Restricted Global Security for Beneficial Interests in the Unrestricted Global
Security. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security
may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an
Unrestricted Global Security or transferred to a Person who takes delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security
if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section
2.6(b)(2) above and:

 

(A)                              such exchange or transfer
is effected pursuant to a Registered Exchange Offer in accordance with the
applicable Registration Rights Agreement and the holder of the beneficial
interest to be transferred, in the case of an exchange, or the

 

35

 

transferee, in the case of a transfer, certifies in the applicable
Letter of Transmittal (or via the Depositary’s book-entry system) that it is
not (i) a broker-dealer, (ii) a Person participating in the distribution of the
Exchange Securities or (iii) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule
144) of the Company;

 

(B)                                such transfer is
effected pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the
applicable Registration Rights Agreement;

 

(C)                                such transfer is
effected by an Exchanging Dealer pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement in accordance with the applicable Registration Rights Agreement; or

 

(D)                               the Registrar receives
the following:

 

(i)                                          if the holder
of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to
exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted
Global Security, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C
hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

 

(ii)                                       if the holder of
such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to transfer
such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, a certificate
from such holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications
in item (4) thereof;

 

and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the
Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of
Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such
exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and state “blue
sky” laws and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the
Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance
with the Securities Act.

 

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (B) or (D)
above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Security has not yet been issued,
the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order in accordance with
Section 2.2 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more
Unrestricted Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to
subparagraph (B) or (D) above.

 

Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Security cannot be
exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form
of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security.

 

36

 

(c)                                  Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for
Definitive Securities.

 

(1)                                  Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Securities
to Restricted Definitive Securities. If any holder of a beneficial
interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial
interest for a Restricted Definitive Security or to transfer such beneficial
interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted
Definitive Security, then, upon receipt by the Registrar of the following
documentation:

 

(A)                              if the holder of such
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to exchange such
beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Security, a certificate from
such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the
certifications in item (2)(a) thereof;

 

(B)                                if such beneficial
interest is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, a
certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit B hereto, including the
certifications in item (1) thereof; or

 

(C)                                if such beneficial
interest is being transferred to a non-U.S. Person in an offshore transaction
in accordance with Rule 904, a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit
B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof,

 

the Registrar shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section
2.6(h) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a
Definitive Security in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive
Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global
Security pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be registered in such
name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the
holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through
instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The
Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names
such Securities are so registered. Any Definitive Security issued in exchange
for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security pursuant to this Section
2.6(c)(1) shall bear the Private Placement Legend and shall be subject to
all restrictions on transfer contained therein. Notwithstanding Sections
2.6(c)(1)(A) and (C) hereof, a beneficial interest in the Regulation
S Global Security may not be exchanged for a Definitive Security or transferred
to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security
prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, except in the case of a
transfer pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act other than Rule 904.

 

(2)                                  Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Securities
to Unrestricted Definitive Securities. A holder of a beneficial
interest in a Restricted Global Security may exchange such beneficial interest
for an Unrestricted Definitive Security or may transfer such beneficial
interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted

Concurrently with the issuance of such Securities, the Registrar shall

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have
been exchanged for Definitive Securities or a particular Global Security has
been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such

or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Definitive Securities,
the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by
the Trustee or by the Securities Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to
reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for
or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security
shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global
Security by the Trustee or by the Securities Custodian at the direction of the
Trustee to reflect such increase.

(2)                                  No
service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Security or to a Holder of a Definitive Security for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge or other fee required
by law and payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes
or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections
2.9, 3.6, 3.7, 4.7 and 4.12 hereof).

 

(3)                                  All
Global Securities and Definitive Securities issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Definitive Securities shall be the
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Securities or Definitive
Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(4)                                  None
of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar shall be required (A) to issue, to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities during a period of 15

to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security

(a)                                  If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or the Company and the
Registrar and the Company receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company will issue and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company (which need not be in
the form of an Officers’ Certificate), will authenticate a replacement Security
if the Registrar’s and the Company’s reasonable requirements are met. If
required by the Registrar or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by
the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Registrar, the Trustee and
the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any other Agent
and any Authenticating Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Security is replaced.

 

(b)                                 Every
replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and will be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the
Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by
the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in
this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 11.6
hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

 

(b)                                 If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

 

(c)                                  If
the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.1
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

 

(d)                                 If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay
Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities
will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

 

Section 2.9                                     Temporary Securities

 

Until Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate Definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders
of temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as a holder of Definitive Securities.

Section 2.10                                Cancellation

 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee or any
Registrar for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to
the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment. The Trustee or the Registrar and no one else shall cancel
and dispose of, in accordance with its policies (but subject to the record
retention requirements of the Exchange Act), all Securities surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and
shall deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company from time to time
upon written request. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee or the Registrar
for cancellation.

 

Section 2.11                                Defaulted Interest

 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest (“Defaulted Interest”)
on the Securities, the Company shall pay Defaulted Interest (as provided in Section
4.1) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the Defaulted Interest to
the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company
shall fix or cause to be fixed (or upon the Company’s failure to do so the
Trustee shall fix pursuant to a written instruction of Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Securities) any such special record date
and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee which special
record date shall not be less than 10 days prior to the payment date for such
Defaulted Interest and the Company, or at the Company’s request, the Trustee,
shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states
the special record date, the payment date and the amount of Defaulted Interest
to be paid. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.11.

 

Section 2.12                                CUSIP Numbers

 

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

Section 3.1                                      Notices to Trustee

 

(a)                                  If
the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof,
it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal
amount of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give each notice to the
Trustee provided for in this Section 3.1 at least 60 days before the
Redemption Date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. If such
redemption is to be effected pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or 3.7(d),
then such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect
that such redemption will comply with the conditions therein.

 

(b)                                 If
fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date relating to
such redemption shall be selected by the Company and set forth in the related
notice given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days
after the date of such notice.

 

Section 3.2                                      Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed

 

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities for
redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of
the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are
listed or, if the Securities are not listed, then on a pro rata basis, by lot
or by such method as the Trustee shall deem to be fair and appropriate. The
Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously
called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the
principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and
portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in minimum amounts of $2,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities
called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the
Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed. The Trustee may rely upon
information provided by the Registrar for purposes of this Section 3.2.

least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of
Securities, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail
to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered
address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date if the notice is mailed in connection with a defeasance
of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in
accordance with Article VIII.

 

49

 

(b)                                 The

(1)                                  the
Redemption Date;

 

(2)                                  the
Redemption Price (if then determined and otherwise the basis for its
determination);

 

(3)                                  the
name and address of the Paying Agent where Securities are to be surrendered;

 

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

 

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

 

(6)                                  that,
unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the Redemption Date;

 

(7)                                  the
CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, printed on the Securities being
redeemed;

 

(8)                                  that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN
or other similar numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the
Securities; and

 

(9)                                  if
the redemption or notice thereof is subject to one or more conditions, a
statement to such effect and the condition or conditions precedent.

 

(c)                                  At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall
provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.3(b).

 

Section 3.4                                      Effect of Notice of Redemption

 

(a)                                  Once
notice of redemption is mailed to Holders, Securities (or portions thereof)
called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date
and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such
Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the Redemption Date; provided
that if the Redemption Date is after the taking of a record of the Holders on a
record date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued
and unpaid interest shall be payable to the Person in whose name the redeemed
Securities are registered on such record date. Failure to give notice or any
defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice
to any other Holder.

 

50

 

(b)                                 Any
redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject
to one or more conditions precedent and, in the case of a redemption with the
net cash proceeds (other than Designated Proceeds) of an Equity Offering,
notice may be given prior to, and subject to, the completion of the related
Equity Offering.

 

Section 3.5                                      Deposit of Redemption Price

 

No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date,
the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a
Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on
all Securities to be redeemed on that date. If the Company complies with the
provisions of this paragraph, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest
will cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for
redemption.

 

Section 3.6                                      Securities Redeemed in Part

 

Upon cancellation of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s
expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of
the Security surrendered. The Trustee shall notify the Registrar of the
issuance of such new Security.

amount of the Securities, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date, with the
net cash proceeds (other than Designated Proceeds) of any one or more Equity

issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after each such

addition, at any time and from time to time prior to December 1, 2011, the
Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the Securities at a
Redemption Price equal to:

 

(i)                         100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus

 

(ii)                      the
Applicable Premium, plus

The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Applicable Premium by
delivering to the Trustee, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, an
Officers’ Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and
the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.

 

(d)                                 If
Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of
Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control
Offer in lieu of the Company as permitted by Section 4.12, purchases all
of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the
Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Securities that remain
outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to the
applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the
Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Redemption Date.

 

(e)                                  Any

forth in this Section 3.7. The Company is not, however, prohibited from
acquiring the Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to
a tender offer, open market transactions or otherwise, so long as the
acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

upon declaration or otherwise. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities shall be considered paid on the date due

to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

 

(b)                                 The
Company will pay, to the extent lawful, interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and
premium, if any, at the rate then in effect on the Securities; it will pay, to
the extent lawful, interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), from time to time on demand at the same rate
as on overdue principal.

 

(c)                                  All
references in this Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees to “interest”
shall be deemed to include Additional Interest unless the context otherwise
requires. The Company shall give the Trustee advance written notice of the
amount of any Additional Interest that may be payable with respect to the
Securities.

 

Section 4.2                                      Reports

 

(a)                                  Whether
or not required by the Commission’s rules and regulations, so long as any
Securities are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Trustee and each
Holder of Securities, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and regulations:

 

(1)                                  all
quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the
Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such
reports; and

 

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

 

The Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports to the
Trustee and the Holders of Securities if it has filed such reports with the
Commission using the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly
available. 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 Company’s consolidated
financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants. In
addition, the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in
clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within
the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such
reports (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such
information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon
request.

 

(b)                                 If
at any time the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless
continue filing the reports specified in clauses (1) and (2) of the preceding
paragraph of this Section 4.2, with the Commission within the time
periods specified above unless the Commission will not accept such a filing. The
Company agrees that it will not take any action for the purpose of causing the
Commission not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the preceding,
the Commission will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the
Company will post the reports referred

 

53

 

to in the preceding paragraph of this Section
4.2 on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company
were required to file those reports with the Commission.

 

(c)                                  In
addition, the Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any
Securities remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is not required to
file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs of this Section
4.2, they will furnish to Holders of Securities and to prospective
investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered
pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

 

(d)                                 The
Company and the Guarantors shall also comply with Section 314(a) of the TIA.

 

Section 4.3                                      Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of
Disqualified Stock

 

(a)                                  The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect
to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), other
than Permitted Debt, and the Company shall not issue, and shall not permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue, any Disqualified Stock; provided, however, that the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue
shares of Disqualified Stock if the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for
the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would
have been at least 2 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro
forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if such additional
Indebtedness had been incurred, or such Disqualified Stock had been issued, as
the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

 

(b)                                 The
provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.3 shall not apply to the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted
Debt”):

 

(1)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness pursuant
to one or more Credit Facilities; provided,
however, that, immediately after giving effect to any such
incurrence, the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable)
of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (1) and then outstanding does
not exceed the greater of (A) $400 million or (B) 20% of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets at the time of incurrence;

 

(2)                                  the
incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by (A)
the Initial Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees issued on the Issue Date
and (B) any Exchange Securities and Subsidiary Guarantees issued thereafter
pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement;

 

(3)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing
Indebtedness;

 

54

 

(4)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness, the net proceeds of which are applied to refinance
any Indebtedness incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described under
clauses (2), (3), (4), (8) or (11) of this paragraph or incurred pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 4.3;

 

(5)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany
Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that (A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor and a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor is the obligee on such
Indebtedness, such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the payment in full of
all Obligations with respect to the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees,
as the case may be, and (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other
than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or
other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each
case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that is not then permitted by this
clause (5);

 

(6)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money
obligations (including any Acquired Debt), in each case, incurred in connection
with the purchase of, or for the purpose of financing the purchase of, the cost
of construction, improvement or development of, property, plant or equipment
used in the Permitted Business of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company or incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any
such purchase price or cost of construction, improvement or development, in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50 million at any time outstanding;

 

(7)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
consisting of Hedging Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of
business and not for speculative purposes;

 

(8)                                  the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
arising from agreements of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar
obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with the disposition or
acquisition of any business, assets or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
or any business or assets of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than guarantees
of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such
business, assets or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries for the purposes of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that (A) such
Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to
financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not
be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause
(A)) and (B) the maximum liability in respect of all such Indebtedness incurred
in connection with a disposition shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds
including noncash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such noncash proceeds
being measured at the time received and without

 

55

 

giving effect to any subsequent changes in
value) actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
connection with such disposition;

 

(9)                                  the
guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be
incurred by any other provision of this Section 4.3; provided that the guarantee of any
Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that ceases to be such a
Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed a Restricted Investment at the time such
Restricted Subsidiary’s status terminates in an amount equal to the maximum
principal amount so guaranteed, for so long as, and to the extent that, such
guarantee remains outstanding;

 

(10)                            the
issuance by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Disqualified Stock to the
Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that any subsequent event or issuance or transfer of any Equity Interests that
results in the owner of such Disqualified Stock ceasing to be the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any subsequent transfer of such preferred
stock to a Person, other than the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
shall be deemed to be an issuance of Disqualified Stock by such Subsidiary that
was not permitted by this clause (10);

 

(11)                            the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted
Acquisition Indebtedness;

 

(12)                            the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
incurred in the ordinary course of business under (A) documentary letters of
credit, or surety bonds or insurance contracts, which are to be repaid in full
not more than one year after the date on which such Indebtedness is originally
incurred to finance the purchase of goods by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, (B) standby letters of credit, surety bonds or
insurance contracts issued for the purpose of supporting (i) workers’
compensation or similar liabilities of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or (ii) performance, payment, deposit or surety obligations of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (C) bid, advance payment and
performance bonds and surety bonds or similar insurance contracts for the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and refinancings thereof; and

 

(13)                            the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
(in addition to Indebtedness permitted by any other provision of this covenant)
in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) not to
exceed the greater of (A) $25 million at any one time outstanding or (B) 2.5%
of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of any date of incurrence after giving
pro forma effect to such incurrence and the application of proceeds therefrom.

 

(c)                                  To
the extent the Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries incur Non-Recourse
Indebtedness and any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Indebtedness of
such Unrestricted Subsidiary, then such event shall be deemed to constitute an
incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was
subject to this covenant.

 

56

 

(d)                                 Neither
the Company nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted
Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such
Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the
Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be, on substantially
identical terms; provided, however,
that no Indebtedness of any Person will be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Person
solely by virtue of being unsecured.

 

(e)                                  For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.3, in the event
that an item of proposed Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt set forth in Section
4.3(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the
Company will, in its sole discretion, classify (or later classify or
reclassify) in whole or in part such item of Indebtedness in any manner that
complies with this Section 4.3 and such item of Indebtedness or a
portion thereof may be classified (or later classified or reclassified) in
whole or in part as having been incurred under more than one of the applicable
clauses of Section 4.3(b) or pursuant to Section 4.3(a). Accrual
of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the
form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.3.

 

(f)                                    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 Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of
revolving credit Indebtedness; provided
that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness
denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the
applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at
the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing,
such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been
exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does
not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that
the Company may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be
exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.
The principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, if incurred in
a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be
calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in
which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect
on the date of such refinancing.

Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section
4.3(a); and

 

(C)                                such Restricted

time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such
period is a loss, less 100% of such loss), plus

 

(ii)                                 100% of the aggregate

(2)                                  the
making of any Restricted Payments described in clause (2) or (3) of Section

substantially concurrent if such Restricted Payment occurs not more than 45
days after such sale or issuance) (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company) of Equity Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified
Stock), provided that the amount
of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment
shall be excluded from clause (C)(ii) of Section 4.4(a)(4);

Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest thereon in the event of a Change of
Control or (B) 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable)
of such Subordinated Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest thereon in the

Section 4.5                                      Liens

 

(a)                                  The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
(other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including
Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or
acquired after that date, securing any Indebtedness, unless:

 

(1)                                  in
the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, the Securities or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable,
are contemporaneously secured by a Lien on such property or assets on a senior
basis to the Subordinated Obligations so secured with the same priority that
the Securities or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, have to such
Subordinated Obligations until such time as such Subordinated Obligations are
no longer so secured by a Lien; and

 

61

 

(2)                                  in
the case of Liens securing Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary, the Securities or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, are
contemporaneously secured by a Lien on such property or assets on an equal and
ratable basis with the Senior Indebtedness so secured until such time as such
Senior Indebtedness is no longer so secured by a Lien.

 

(b)                                 Upon
the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event but not before then, the
covenant set forth in Section 4.5(c) shall become effective and
shall apply to the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(c)                                  If
the Company or any Subsidiary incurs any Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other
than Permitted Liens of the types described in clause (2), (5), (6), (7), (8),
(9), (10), (11), (13), (14), (15), (16) or (17) of the definition of the term “Permitted
Liens” in Section 1.1) on any asset, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, or if any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor of the Securities incurs
any Indebtedness of any kind, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may
be, will secure the Securities equally and ratably with (or, at its option,
prior to) the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is
no longer secured by a Lien, or will guarantee the Securities on a full and
unconditional senior basis (if a Subsidiary incurs unsecured Indebtedness), in
each case unless the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by a Lien and
the Attributable Amounts of all Sale/Leaseback Transactions would not exceed
15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or (y) pay any Indebtedness owed
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, that the priority of any
preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to
the payment of dividends or liquidating distributions on common stock shall not
be deemed to be a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital
Stock;

 

(2)                                  make
loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

future Liens that may be permitted to be granted under, or incurred not in

which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the
properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or
assets of the Person or such Person’s subsidiaries, so acquired, provided, that, in the case of Indebtedness,
such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

 

(6)                                  restrictions

of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the
closing of such sale or disposition;

relating to secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.3, and not in violation of Section 4.5(a), that
limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets securing such Indebtedness;

 

(10)                            Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness referred to in clauses (1),
(2), (5), (7) and (9) of this Section 4.6(b), provided that the restrictions contained
in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more
restrictive with respect to such dividend, distribution or other payment
restrictions and loan or investment restrictions than those contained in the
agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

 

(11)                            provisions

into in the ordinary course of business; and

 

(14)                            any

Section 4.7                                      Asset Sales

 

(a)                                  The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless:

 

(1)                                  The
Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market
Value (which shall give effect to the assumption by another Person of any
liabilities as provided for in clause (2)(A) of this paragraph and which, in
the case of an Asset Sale involving consideration not exceeding $100 million,
need not be determined by the Board of Directors) of the assets or Equity
Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

 

(2)                                  (x)
at least 75% of the consideration received in such Asset Sale is in the form of
cash or Cash Equivalents or (y) the Fair Market Value of all forms of
consideration other than cash or Cash Equivalents received for all Asset Sales
since the Issue Date does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of Consolidated Net
Worth of the Company at the time each determination is made; provided that any of the following items
shall be deemed to be cash and Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this clause
(2):

 

(A)                              the assumption of any
liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or the Restricted Subsidiary’s most
recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to
Securities issued under this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee) by the
transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that
releases the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

 

(B)                                any securities, notes
or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary
from such transferee that are converted by the Company or the Restricted
Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following their
receipt (to the extent of cash or Cash Equivalents received);

 

(C)                                other assets or rights
used or useful in a Permitted Business, including, without limitation, assets
or Investments of the nature or type described in clause (13) of the definition
of “Permitted Investments” in Section 1.1; and

 

64

 

(D)                               accounts receivable of a
business retained by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following
the sale of such business; provided,
that such accounts receivable are not (i) past due more than 60 days and (ii)
do not have a payment date greater than 90 days from the date of the invoice
creating such accounts receivable;

 

provided, that any
Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, appropriation or other similar taking,
including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or pursuant to the foreclosure or
other enforcement of a Lien incurred not in violation of Section 4.5 or
exercise by the related lienholder of rights with respect thereto, including by
deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, shall not be required to satisfy the
conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph.

 

(b)                                 Within
365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company
or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds,
at its option:

 

(1)                                  to
prepay, repay, purchase, repurchase or redeem any Senior Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

 

(2)                                  to
acquire a controlling interest in another business or all or substantially all
of the assets or operating line of another business, in each case engaged in a
Permitted Business;

 

(3)                                  to
make capital expenditures; or

 

(4)                                  to
acquire other non-current assets to be used in a Permitted Business, including,
without limitation, assets or Investments of the nature or type described in
clause (13) of the definition of “Permitted Investments” in Section 1.1;

 

provided that the
Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have complied
with clause (2) or (3) of this sentence if, within 365 days of such Asset Sale,
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall have commenced and not
completed or abandoned an expenditure or Investment, or entered into a binding
agreement with respect to an expenditure or Investment, in compliance with
clause (2) or (3), and that expenditure or Investment is substantially
completed within a date one year and six months after the date of such Asset
Sale. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness under any Credit Facility or otherwise expend
or invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this
Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales described in this paragraph that
are not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph
shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Asset Sale Proceeds.”

 

(c)                                  When
the aggregate amount of Excess Asset Sale Proceeds exceeds $15 million, the
Company shall make an offer to the Holders of Securities and the holders of any
other Senior Indebtedness that is subject to requirements with respect to the
application of net proceeds from asset sales that are substantially similar to
those contained in this Section 4.7 (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase
on a pro rata basis (with the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds prorated between the
Holders of the Securities and such holders of such other Senior Indebtedness
based upon

 

65

 

outstanding aggregate principal amounts) the
maximum principal amount of the Securities and such other Senior Indebtedness
that may be purchased or prepaid, as applicable, out of the prorated Excess
Asset Sale Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof (or accreted amount in the case of any Senior
Indebtedness issued with original issue discount) plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Payment”), in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.7. To the
extent that the aggregate principal amount of Securities and other Senior
Indebtedness tendered (and electing to be redeemed or repaid, as applicable)
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds,
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Asset
Sale Proceeds for general corporate purposes and any other purpose not
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities and such other Senior Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof
exceeds the amount of the prorated Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, the Company
shall select the Securities and such other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased
on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
Excess Asset Sale Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

 

(d)                                 When
the Company becomes obligated to make an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will
mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Asset Sale and offering to repurchase Securities on the date
(the “Asset Sale Payment Date”) specified in such notice, which date will be no
earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is
mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in
such notice.

 

(e)                                  On
the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 

(1)                                  accept
for payment all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer, subject to proration based on the amount of Excess Asset
Sale Proceeds pursuant to clause (c) above of this Section 4.7;

 

(2)                                  deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the amount of Excess Asset Sale
Proceeds that, after giving effect to proration with holders of other Senior
Indebtedness pursuant to clause (c) above of this Section 4.7, is
allocable to the Securities or portions thereof so tendered (or, if less, the
aggregate Asset Sale Payment for all Securities validly tendered and not
withdrawn); and

 

(3)                                  deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together
with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

 

(f)                                    The
Paying Agent will promptly mail (or cause to be transferred through the
facilities of the Depositary) to each Holder of Securities so tendered and not
withdrawn and accepted for payment in accordance with this Section 4.7,
the Asset Sale Payment for such tendered Securities, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of the Securities surrendered, if any, by such Holder; provided that each

 

66

 

such new Security will be in a minimum
principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

(g)                                 If
the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record date and
on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest
will be paid to the Person in whose name a purchased Security is registered on
such record date, and no other interest will be payable to Holders who tender
Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

 

(h)                                 The
Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as
soon as practicable after the date such Asset Sale Offer is completed.

 

(i)                                     The
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such
laws and regulations are applicable in connection with an Asset Sale Offer. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.7 by virtue of the Company’s
compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

 

Section 4.8                                      Transactions with Affiliates

 

(a)                                  The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any properties or assets to, or purchase any property or
assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit
of, any Affiliate of any such Person (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate
Transaction”) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in
excess of $1 million, unless:

 

(1)                                  such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in
a transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated
Person or, if no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such
Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the
Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view,
evidenced (if required by clause (2) of this Section 4.8(a)) by the
Officers’ Certificate provided for in clause (2) of this Section 4.8(a);
and

 

(2)                                  the
Company delivers to the Trustee:

 

(A)                              with respect to any
Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of at least $20 million but equal to or less
than $40 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with clause (1) above; and

 

(B)                                with respect to any
Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $40 million, a resolution of its Board of
Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that

 

67

 

such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.8(a)
and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of its Board of Directors;

 

(b)                                 None
of the following shall be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and therefore
shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8(a):

 

(1)                                  any
employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or
plan, agreement or other similar compensation plan or arrangement entered into
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
its business;

 

(2)                                  transactions
between or among (A) the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries and
(B) any Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(3)                                  the
performance of any written agreement in effect on the Issue Date, as such
agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time; provided, however,
that any amendment, modification or supplement entered into after the Issue
Date will be permitted only to the extent that its terms do not adversely
affect the rights of any Holders of the Securities (as determined in good faith
by an Officer of the Company, and, if such amendment, modification or
supplement involves aggregate consideration in excess of $40 million, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) as compared to the terms of
the agreement in effect on the Issue Date;

 

(4)                                  loans
or advances to officers, directors and employees for moving, entertainment and
travel expenses, drawing accounts and similar expenditures and other purposes,
in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

 

(5)                                  maintenance
in the ordinary course of business of customary benefit programs or
arrangements for employees, officers or directors, including vacation plans,
health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans and retirement or
savings plans and similar plans;

 

(6)                                  fees
and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers,
directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in their capacity as such, to the extent such fees and
compensation are reasonable and customary;

 

(7)                                  sales
of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) to

provided that such director
abstains from voting as a director of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary,
as applicable, in connection with the approval of the transaction.

Section 4.9                                      Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries

 

(a)                                  The
Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted
Subsidiary only if:

 

(1)                                  immediately
after giving effect to such designation, the Company could incur at least $1.00
of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test
under Section 4.3(a) or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the
Company immediately after giving effect to such designation would not be less
than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such
designation;

 

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

 

(3)                                  the
Company certifies that such designation complies with this Section. Any such
designation by the Board of Directors shall be evidenced by the Company
promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of the resolution giving effect to such
designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding provisions.

 

(b)                                 The
Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary under the circumstances and pursuant to the
requirements described in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” set forth
in Section 1.1. For purposes of making the determination as to
whether such designation would be made in compliance with this Section, all
outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except
to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to
be Restricted Payments at the time of such designation and will reduce the
amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.4(a). All
such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Investments in an
amount equal to the greater of (1) the net book value (determined in accordance
with GAAP) of such Investments at the time of such designation and (2) the Fair
Market Value of such Investments at the time of such designation.

 

Section 4.10                                Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

 

If, after the Issue Date, any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a
Foreign Subsidiary) of the Company that is not already a Guarantor (whether or
not acquired or created by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary after
the Issue Date) incurs any Indebtedness, or guarantees any other Indebtedness
of the Company or a Guarantor, in either case in excess of a De Minimis Amount,
then the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor
by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E
hereto and delivering it to the Trustee within 180 days of the date on which it
incurred or guaranteed such Indebtedness, as the case may be.

Section 4.12                                Change of Control

 

(a)                                  If
a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Securities will have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities
pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an
offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (the “Change
of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the
Company will mail to each Holder of Securities a notice describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering
to repurchase the Securities on the date specified in such notice, which date
shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the
procedures required by this Section 4.12 and described in such notice.

 

(b)                                 On
the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 

(1)                                  accept
for payment all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer;

 

(2)                                  deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered; and

 

(3)                                  deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together
with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

 

(c)                                  The
Paying Agent will promptly mail (or cause to be transferred through the
facilities of the Depositary) to each Holder of Securities so tendered and not
withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such tendered Securities, and the
Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book
entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any, by such Holder; provided that each such new Security will
be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof. The Trustee will notify the Registrar of the issuance of the
new Security.

 

(d)                                 If
the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record
date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid
interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at
the close of business on such record date, and no other interest will be
payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

 

(e)                                  The
Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or
as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

70

 

(f)                                    The
provisions described above in this Section that require the Company to make a
Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless
of whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

 

(g)                                 The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at
the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and
purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change
of Control Offer. A Change of Control Offer may be made with respect to the
Securities in advance of a Change of Control, and conditional upon the
occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement for the Change
of Control is in place at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

 

(h)                                 The
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l 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 the
Securities as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions
of this Section 4.12, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue of the Company’s
compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

 

Section 4.13                                Maintenance of Office or Agency for Registration of
Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Securities

 

So long as any of the Securities shall remain outstanding, the Company
will, in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, maintain an office or
agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee,
or the Registrar) in the continental United States where the Securities may be
surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer as provided in this
Indenture, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect to the
Securities may be served, and where the Securities may be presented or
surrendered for payment. The Company may also from time to time designate one
or more other offices or agencies in the continental United States where
Securities may be presented or surrendered for any and all such purposes and
may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation under Section 2.3
to maintain an office or agency in New York, New York where any Definitive
Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment. The Company will give
to Trustee prompt written notice of the location of any such office or agency
and of any change of location thereof. In case the Company shall fail to
maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the
location or of any change in the location thereof, such surrenders,
presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the
designated Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee its agent to receive at the aforesaid office all such
surrenders, presentations, notices and demands.

the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Agent shall undertake,
subject to the provisions of this Section 4.15:

it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (whether such sums have been
paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities) in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities and will notify the Trustee of
the receipt of sums to be so held;

 

(2)                                  that
it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other

(4)                                  that

72

 

(e)                                  Anything

or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any

 

73

 

power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law has been enacted.

 

Section 4.20                                Termination of Certain Covenants

 

Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, each of the

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

Section 6.1                                      Events of Default

 

(a)                                  Each
of the following is an “Event of Default”:

 

(1)                                  default
for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Securities;

4.12 or 5.1 hereof for 30 days after receipt of written notice
specified in Section 6.1(b) below;

 

75

 

(4)                                  failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after receipt
of written notice specified in Section 6.1(b) below to comply with
any of its other agreements contained in this Indenture or the Securities
(other than a failure that is subject to clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section
6.1(a));

 

(5)                                  default
under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or
by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which
is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether
such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date,
if that default:

 

(A)                             is caused by a failure to
pay principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to
the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment
Default”); or

 

(B)                               results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity;

 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so
accelerated, aggregates without duplication $30 million or more;

 

(6)                                  failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments
aggregating in excess of $30 million (excluding amounts covered by insurance),
which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

 

(7)                                  except
as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor shall
be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall
cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any
Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and

 

(8)                                  (A)                              the
Company or a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the
meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

 

(i)                                     commences a
voluntary case or proceeding;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

76

 

(v)                                 consents to the
institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it;

 

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

 

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

 

(i)                                          is for relief
against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or a group of Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an
involuntary case in which it is a debtor;

 

(ii)                                       appoints a
Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or a group of
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or
for any substantial part of its property; or

 

(iii)                                    orders the winding
up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or a group of
Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

 

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

 

(b)                                 However,
a Default under clauses (3) and (4) of Section 6.1(a) will not
constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the
Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in
clauses (3) and (4) of Section 6.1(a) after receipt of such notice. Such
notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such
notice is a “Notice of Default.”

 

(c)                                  Whether
or not a group of Subsidiaries would constitute, when taken together, a
Significant Subsidiary will be determined, for purposes of Section 6.1(a),
on the basis of the latest available consolidated financial statements of the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

Section 6.2                                      Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

 

(a)                                  If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (8) of Section
6.1(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities
to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and
accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of
Default described in clause (8) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is
continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest
on all the Securities will become and be immediately due and payable without
any further action or notice on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The
Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the Securities by
notice to the Trustee

 

77

 

may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its
consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default,
other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived.

 

(b)                                 In
the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.1(a),
such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any
resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded with respect
to the Securities, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the
Holders of the Securities, if within 60 days after such Event of Default first
arose the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that
(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default
has been paid or discharged, (2) the holders of the Indebtedness have rescinded
or waived the acceleration giving rise to such Event of Default or (3) the
default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been otherwise cured; provided, however,
that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the
Securities pursuant to Section 6.2(a) be annulled, waived or rescinded
upon the happening of any such events.

 

Section 6.3                                      Other Remedies

 

(a)                                  If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or
interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of
the Securities or this Indenture.

 

(b)                                 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 6.4                                      Waiver of Past Defaults

 

The Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the
Securities, by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
hereunder except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on a Security. When a Default or Event of
Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

 

Section 6.5                                      Control by Majority

 

The Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the
Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee
may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture
or, subject

 

78

 

to Section 7.1 hereof,
that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may
take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent
with such direction. Subject to Section 7.1, prior to taking any action
hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably
satisfactory to it against all loss, liability and expense caused by taking or
not taking such action.

 

Section 6.6                                      Limitation on Suits

 

(a)                                  Except
to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or
interest when due, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees unless:

 

(1)                                  the
Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of
Default is continuing;

 

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

 

(3)                                  such
Holder or Holders have furnished the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against any loss, liability or expense;

 

(4)                                  the
Trustee has not complied with the Holders’ request within 60 days after receipt
of the request and the furnishing of security or indemnity; and

 

(5)                                  the
Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the Securities have
not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is
inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

 

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

 

Section 6.7                                      Rights of Holders to Receive Payment

Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed

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

 

Section 6.8                                      Collection Suit by Trustee

 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(1) or Section
6.1(a)(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any
Guarantor for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on
any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section
7.7

 

79

 

hereof to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, disbursement and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

Section 6.9                                      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

 

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and
the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any
Guarantor or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by
law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the

including all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents, and
counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid
on the Securities for principal and interest and premium, if any, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and

respectively; and

 

Third: to the Company.

 

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

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

court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, 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.

Section 7.1                                      Duties of Trustee

 

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

 

(b)                                 Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) the Trustee undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions 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 to the requirements of this Indenture.

 

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

 

(1)                                  this
paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b) hereof;

 

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

 

(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 Section
6.5 hereof.

 

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

 

(e)                                  The
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as
the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

 

(f)                                    Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.

 

(g)                                 No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall
have reasonable grounds to believe that

 

81

 

repayment of such funds or security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

 

Section 7.2                                      Rights of Trustee.

 

(a)                                  The
Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any
fact or matter stated in the document.

 

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

 

(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 believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Indenture;
provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute
willful misconduct or negligence.

 

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

 

(f)                                    Except
for (i) a default under Section 6.1(a)(1) or Section 6.1(a)(2)
hereof, or (ii) any other event of which a Trust Officer has actual knowledge
and which event, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both,
would constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Trustee shall
not be deemed to have notice of any default or event unless specifically
notified in writing of such event by the Company or any Holder of the
Securities.

 

(g)                                 The
Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether or not the Company is
obligated at any time to offer to purchase the Securities pursuant to Section
4.7 or Section 4.12 hereof, and at all times the Trustee may
conclusively presume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the
Company or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, that no such
obligation exists.

 

Section 7.3                                      Individual Rights of Trustee

 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However,
in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in
the TIA) after a Default has occurred and is continuing, it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee
or resign. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11
hereof.

 

82

 

Section 7.4                                      Trustee’s Disclaimer

 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not
be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, it
shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent (other than itself as Paying Agent), and it shall not be
responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the
Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

 

Section 7.5                                      Notice of Defaults

 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a
Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.
Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security (including payments
pursuant to the redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Security),
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its board of directors,
the Executive Committee of its board of directors or a committee of its Trust
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of Holders.

 

Section 7.6                                      Reports by Trustee to Holders

 

(a)                                  Within
60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report that complies
with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust
Indenture Act §313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting
date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c).

 

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

 

Section 7.7                                      Compensation and Indemnity

 

(a)                                  The
Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to, reasonable compensation for its services, which may be set forth
in a separate fee agreement between the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other
documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and
reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the
delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise, in addition to the compensation
for its services. Such expenses shall include the 

 

83

 

reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee (in its individual and trustee
capacities) and its officers, directors and agents against any and all loss,
liability, claims, action, suit, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) of any kind and nature whatsoever incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture
(including this Section 7.7) and of defending itself against any claims
(whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure
by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may
have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel. The Company is not required to reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss, liability, claim, suit, cost or expense incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence.

 

(b)                                 To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on particular Securities.

 

(c)                                  The
Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive
the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When
the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
6.1(a)(8) hereof with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

Section 7.8                                      Replacement of Trustee

 

(a)                                  A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.8.

 

(b)                                 The
Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a
majority in outstanding principal amount of the Securities may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor
Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee fails to comply
with Section 7.10 hereof; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent; (iii) a Custodian or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
acting.

 

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

 

84

 

(d)                                 A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall
have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The
retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to
the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7
hereof.

 

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

 

(f)                                    If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof after written
notice thereto, the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee.

 

Section 7.9                                      Successor Trustee by Merger

 

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

 

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

 

Section 7.10                                Eligibility; Disqualification

 

The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Trust
Indenture Act Section 310(a). There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder
that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50 million

 

85

 

as set forth in its most recent
published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust
Indenture Act Section 310(b).

 

Section 7.11                                Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company

 

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

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

 

Section 8.1                                      Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance

 

(a)                                  Subject
to Section 8.1(e) hereof, when (1)(x) the Company delivers to the
Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section
2.7 hereof) for cancellation or (y) all outstanding Securities not
theretofore delivered for cancellation have become due and payable at their
scheduled maturity or (z) all outstanding Securities not theretofore delivered
for cancellation will become due and payable within one year by reason of the
giving of notice of redemption in accordance with Article III hereof or
otherwise, (2) the Company irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders money in
U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in
such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of
interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium,
if any, and accrued interest to the date of Stated Maturity or redemption, (3)
no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall
occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the
borrowing of funds applied to such deposit), and such deposit will not result
in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound,
(4) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums then payable by it under
this Indenture and (5) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities at
Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, then the Trustee
shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Securities and the
Subsidiary Guarantees, on demand of the Company (accompanied by an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent
specified herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
have been complied with) and at the cost and expense of the Company.

 

(b)                                 Subject
to Section 8.2 hereof, the Company at its option at any time may
terminate (1) all its obligations, except as specified in Section 8.1(e)
hereof, under the Securities and this Indenture and all obligations of the
Guarantors with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees (“legal defeasance
option”), and after giving effect to such legal defeasance, any omission to
comply with such obligations shall no longer constitute a Default or Event of
Default or (2) its obligations under Section 4.2,  Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section
4.6,  Section 4.7,

 

86

 

Section 4.8, Section
4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.12, and Section 4.18
hereof, except to the extent such obligations are imposed by Section 318(c) of
the Trust Indenture Act, and Section 5.1(a)(2) and (3)
hereof, and the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such
Sections shall no longer constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a)(3)
(solely as it relates to Section 4.12 or Section 5.1(a)(2) or (3)
hereof), Section 6.1(a)(4), Section 6.1(a)(5) or Section
6.1(a)(6) hereof or (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) Section
6.1(a)(8) hereof, and the events specified in such Sections shall no longer
constitute an Event of Default (this clause (2) being referred to as the “covenant
defeasance option”), but otherwise the remainder of this Indenture and the
Securities shall be unaffected thereby. The Company may exercise its legal
defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance
option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant
defeasance option, each Guarantor shall be released from its obligations with
respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee as provided in Section 10.9(b)
hereof.

 

(c)                                  If
the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities
may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises
its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(3)
(solely as it relates to Section 4.12 or Section 5.1(a)(2)
or (3)), Section 6.1(a)(4), Section 6.1(a)(5), Section
6.1(a)(6) or (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) Section
6.1(a)(8) hereof.

 

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

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 8.1(a) and Section 8.1(b) hereof, the
obligations of the Company in Section 2.3, Section 2.5, Section
2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.9, Section 7.7, Section
7.8 hereof, and in this Article VIII shall survive until the
Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the obligations of the Company
in Section 7.7, Section 8.5 and Section 8.6 hereof shall
survive.

 

Section 8.2                                      Conditions to Defeasance

 

The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant
defeasance option only if:

 

(a)                                  the
Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable
Redemption

 

87

 

Date, as the case may be, and the Company
must specify whether the Securities are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to
a particular Redemption Date;

 

(b)                                 in
the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee confirming that (1) the Company has received from, or there has
been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (2) since the Issue
Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such legal
defeasance had not occurred;

 

(c)                                  in
the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case
if such covenant defeasance option had not occurred;

 

(d)                                 no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness or the
grant of Liens securing such Indebtedness, all or a portion of the proceeds of
which will be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Events of Default from
bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending
on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

 

(e)                                  such
deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to
which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound, or if such breach,
violation or default would occur, which is not waived as of, and for all
purposes, on and after, the date of such deposit;

 

(f)                                    the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be
subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

 

(g)                                 the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the
Holders of Securities over the other creditors of the Company with the intent
of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or
others; and

 

(h)                                 the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent relating to the legal
defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option have been complied with.

The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Securities
deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the

Section 8.4                                      Repayment to Company

Obligations under this Indenture.

 

(b)                                 Subject
to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent

principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities that remains
unclaimed for two years (or any such money then held by the Company or any
Subsidiary shall be discharged from any trust hereunder), and, thereafter,
Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as unsecured
general creditors; provided, however,
that, if any Definitive Securities are then outstanding, the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The  New
York Times and The Wall Street
Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed
and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days
from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of

Securities.

 

Section 8.6                                      Reinstatement

 

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

or consent of any Holder:

 

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

(3)                                  to
provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to

all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s properties or
assets, including the addition of any required co-issuer of the Securities;

 

(4)                                  to
make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders or that does not materially affect the legal rights hereunder of any
Holder;

 

(5)                                  to
comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 

(6)                                  to
add any additional Guarantor or to release any Guarantor from its Subsidiary
Guarantee, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment of a

(8)                                  to
conform the text of this Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees
to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” in the Company’s final
offering memorandum relating to the Initial Securities to the extent that such
provision in such “Description of the Notes” was intended to set forth,
verbatim or in substance, a provision of this Indenture, the Securities or the
Subsidiary Guarantees; or

 

(9)                                  to

Section 9.2                                      With Consent of Holders

 

(a)                                  The
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture,
the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
(including consents obtained in

 

90

 

connection with the purchase of, or tender
offer or exchange offer for, Securities). Subject to the following sentence,
any existing Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the
Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of outstanding Securities
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, Securities). However, without the consent of each
Holder, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any
Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

 

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

 

(2)                                  reduce
the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the
provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Securities
(other than provisions relating to Section 4.7 or 4.12);

 

(3)                                  reduce
the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security;

 

(4)                                  waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the
Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in outstanding principal
amount of the Securities and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from
such acceleration);

 

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

 

(6)                                  make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past
Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities to receive payments of
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except as
permitted by clause (7) below);

 

(7)                                  waive
a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Security (other than a
payment required by Section 4.7 or 4.12); or

 

(8)                                  make
any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions of this
Section 9.2(a).

 

(b)                                 The
consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Section 9.2 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver. It is sufficient if
the consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver.

 

(c)                                  After
an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder of Securities affected thereby
a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to
any or all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the
validity of any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2.

 

91

 

Section 9.3                                      Compliance with Trust Indenture Act

 

Every amendment to this Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary
Guarantees shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

 

Section 9.4                                      Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers

 

(a)                                  A
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Security shall
bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security (or
any Holder of a Security issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange
thereof or in lieu thereof), even if notation of the amendment, supplement or
waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the
Security if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the
date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it shall
bind every Holder.

 

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

 

Section 9.5                                      Notation on or Exchange of Securities

 

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

 

Section 9.6                                      Trustee to Sign Amendments

 

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

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

 

Section 10.1                                Subsidiary Guarantees

 

(a)                                  Each
Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder and to the
Trustee and its successors and assigns the full and punctual payment of
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Securities when due, whether
at Stated Maturity, or upon redemption, required repurchase pursuant to Section
4.7 or Section 4.12 hereof, acceleration or otherwise, and all other
monetary obligations owing by the Company under this Indenture (including
obligations owing to the Trustee) and the Securities (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors
further agree that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantors, and
that the Guarantors will remain bound under this Article X
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

 

(b)                                 The
Guarantors waive presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the
Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waive notice of protest
for nonpayment. The Guarantors waive notice of any Default under the Securities
or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder
shall not be affected by:  (1) the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any
extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation; (3) any rescission, waiver,
amendment, modification or supplement of any of the terms or provisions of this
Indenture (other than this Article X), the Securities or any other
agreement; (4) the release of security, if any, held by any Holder or the
Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any
Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (6) any change in the ownership of the
Company; or (vii) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other
act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of
the Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a
matter of law or equity, except for payment of the Securities in full.

 

(c)                                  The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, further agree that their Subsidiary
Guarantees herein constitute a guarantee of payment when due (and not a
guarantee of collection) and waive any right to require that any resort be had
by any Holder or the Trustee to security, if any, held for payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(d)                                 The
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (except to the extent
provided in Section 10.2 hereof), including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any
defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason
of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or
otherwise.

 

93

 

(e)                                  The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, further agree that their Subsidiary
Guarantees herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the
Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

 

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

 

(g)                                 The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree that, as between the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article
VI for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI,
such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Section
10.1.

 

(h)                                 The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, also agree to pay any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in
enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1.

 

Section 10.2                                Limitation on Liability

 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder,
hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount
that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and
after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 

94

 

Section 10.3                                Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee

 

(a)                                  To
evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will be
endorsed by manual or facsimile signature by an Officer of such Guarantor on
each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this
Indenture (or a supplemental indenture substantially in form of Exhibit E
hereof) will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

 

(b)                                 Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section
10.1 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to
endorse on each Security a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. If an Officer
whose facsimile signature is on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which the
Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee will be valid
nevertheless.

 

(c)                                  The
delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth
in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

 

Section 10.4                                Successors and Assigns

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.9 hereof, this Article
X shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the
Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and
privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities
shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture, the Securities and the
Subsidiary Guarantees.

 

Section 10.5                                No Waiver

 

Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the
Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article X
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein
expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights,
remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article X at law,
in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

Section 10.6                                Right of Contribution

 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall
have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such
Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against
any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such
payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms
and conditions of this Article X. The provisions of this Section 10.6
shall in no

 

95

 

respect limit the obligations
and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each
Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full
amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

 

Section 10.7                                No Subrogation

 

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors
hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any rights of subrogation
it may have to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the
Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right
of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in
respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing
to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor
in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such
Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over
to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by
such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the
Guaranteed Obligations.

 

Section 10.8                                Modification

 

No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article
X, nor the consent to any departure by the Guarantors therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with Article
IX hereof. No notice to or demand on the Guarantors in any case shall
entitle the Guarantors to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 10.9                                Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets of a
Guarantor; Release of a Guarantor

 

(a)                                  To
the extent that the Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor has not been released
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, such Guarantor may not
sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into, another Person (whether
or not such Guarantor is the resulting, transferee or surviving Person) other
than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

 

(1)                                  immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;
and

 

96

 

(2)                                  either:

 

(A)                              the Person acquiring the
properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed
by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor)
unconditionally assumes, pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in
the form of Exhibit E hereto, all the obligations of such Guarantor
under this Indenture, the Securities, its Subsidiary Guarantee and any
applicable Registration Rights Agreement on terms set forth therein; or

 

(B)                                the Net Proceeds of
such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.7.

 

(b)                                 The
Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally
released:

 

(1)                                  in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or
consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other
disposition complies with Section 4.7;

 

(2)                                  in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of
such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other
disposition complies with Section 4.7;

 

(3)                                  if

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 

1.                                       Interest. Key Energy Services, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Security at 8.375% per annum from November 29, 2007 until
maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and
December 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the
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; provided that if there is no existing
Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated
between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
Payment Date; provided, further,
that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 1, 2008. The Company will
pay, to the extent lawful, interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any,
at the rate then in effect; it will pay, to the extent lawful, interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law)
on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate as on overdue principal. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

2.                                       Method of Payment. The Company will pay
interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the May 15 or
November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities
are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment
Date, except as provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture with respect
to Defaulted Interest. The Securities will be payable as to principal, premium,
if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for
such purpose within New York, New York, or, at the option of the Company,
payment of interest may be made by check mailed by such Paying Agent to the
Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and
interest, and premium, if any, on all Global Securities and all other
Securities, the Holders of which hold at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of the Securities and have provided timely wire transfer instructions to
the Company and the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment

of public and private debts. Holders
must surrender their Securities to the Paying Agent to collect payments of
principal and premium, if any.

 

3.                                       Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The
Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to
any Holder, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent
or Registrar, all in accordance with the Indenture.

 

4.                                       Indenture. The Company issued the
Securities under an Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2007 (the “Indenture”),
among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. The terms of
the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Securities are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling (to the extent permitted by law). The
Securities are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company initially has
issued $425,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities. The Company may
issue Additional Securities under the Indenture, subject to Section 4.3
of the Indenture; provided, however, that
no Additional Securities may be issued at a price that would cause such
Additional Securities to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of
Section 1273 of the Code.

 

5.                                       Redemption.

 

(a)                                  On

Securities at any time and from time to time at its option at the following

the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission
policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) below have been complied
with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause to be filed with the

Offer Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange

than the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (or if the one-year

commence the Registered Exchange Offer and use their respective reasonable best
efforts to issue, on or prior to 60 days after the date on which the Exchange

Securities Act, Exchange Notes in exchange
for all Initial Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be on the appropriate form
permitting registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the
Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit sales of Broker-Dealer Transfer
Restricted Securities by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.

 

(b)                                 The
Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective, reasonable best efforts
to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously
during the Exchange Offer and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period
of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be
less than 20 Business Days. The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply
with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than
the Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

 

(c)                                  The
Company and the Guarantors shall include a “Plan of Distribution” (or similar
provision) section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and indicate that any Restricted Broker-Dealer who holds
Initial Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and that were acquired
for the account of such Restricted Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted
Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of its Affiliates) may
exchange such Initial Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such
Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with its initial sale of the
Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which
prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such
Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” (or similar provision) section shall
also contain all other information with respect to such resales of
Broker-Dealer Transfer Restricted Securities that the Commission may require in
order to permit such sales pursuant thereto but such “Plan of Distribution” (or
other similar provision) section shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or
disclose the amount of Notes held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the
extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the
date of this Agreement.

 

The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable
best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously
effective, supplemented and amended as required by and subject to the
provisions of Section 6(c) below to the extent necessary to ensure that it is
available for resales of Broker-Dealer Transfer Restricted Securities acquired
by Restricted Broker-Dealers and to ensure that it conforms with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and
regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of
180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
declared effective or, if shorter, until all Broker-Dealer Transfer Restricted
Securities have been sold thereunder.

 

The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of
such Prospectus to such Restricted Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any
time during such 180 day period (or such shorter period, if applicable) in
order to facilitate such sales.

4.                                  Shelf
Registration.

 

(a)                                  Shelf
Registration. If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not required to
file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange
Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or
Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) below have
been complied with) or (ii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall
notify the Company and the Guarantors within 20 Business Days of the
Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder is prohibited by
applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer,
(B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange
Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or
available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a
Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or one
of its Affiliates, then the Company and the Guarantors shall:

 

(i)                                     use
their respective reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”),
on or prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the 30th day (or if the 30th
day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) after the date on
which the Company receives notice from the Commission or determines that it is
not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to
clause (i) above, and (2) the 30th day (or if the 30th day is not a
Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) after the date on which the
Company receives notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as
contemplated by clause (ii) above (such earlier date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”),
which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer
Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information
required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and

 

(ii)                                  use
their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement to become effective under the Securities Act on or before the 90th
day (or if the 90th day is not a Business Day, the first Business
Day thereafter) after the Shelf Filing Deadline.

 

The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best
efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective,
supplemented and amended as required by and subject to the provisions of
Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is
available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof
entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms
with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i))
following the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement first is declared
or becomes effective under the Securities Act or such shorter period ending on
the earlier of when all of the Transfer Restricted Securities available for
sale thereunder (i) have been sold pursuant thereto and (ii) are not longer
restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any
successor rule thereof).

 

6

 

(b)                                 Provision by Holders of Certain Information in
Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted
Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement
unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company and the Guarantors in
writing, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, such
information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with
any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus
included therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be entitled
to Additional Interest (as defined below) pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless
and until such Holder shall have provided all such reasonably requested
information. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being
effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to
be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the
Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

 

5.                                  Additional
Interest.  If (i) any of the
Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not filed with the
Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement,
(ii) any of such Registration Statements has not become effective under the
Securities Act on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this
Agreement (the “Effectiveness
Target Date”), (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated
within 60 days after the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or (iv) any Registration Statement required by
this Agreement is filed and becomes effective under the Securities Act but
shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended
purpose without being succeeded within 30 days by a post-effective amendment to
such Registration Statement, the effectiveness of another Registration
Statement or the use of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) is again
permitted that cures such failure (each such event referred to in clauses (i)
through (iv), a “Registration
Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay, as liquidated
damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section
12(a), additional interest (“Additional Interest”). Additional Interest shall be paid
to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to the first
90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration
Default, in an amount equal to $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion
thereof that the Registration Default continues. The amount of the Additional
Interest shall increase by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount
of Additional Interest of $0.50 per week per $1,000 principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities. All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid
to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Company at the same
times and in the same manner as other interest on the Notes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration
Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange

Statement), in the case of (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange
Offer, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement
that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable,
the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or the
Prospectus to be made usable in the case of (iv) above, the Additional Interest
payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such
clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.

All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the
preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer
Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer
Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with
respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full.

 

6.                                  Registration
Procedures.

 

(a)                                  Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In
connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply
with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, shall use their
respective reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale
of Broker-Dealer Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with
the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (which shall be in a
manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement), and shall comply with all
of the following provisions:

 

(i)                                     If,
following the date hereof and prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer,
there has been published a change in Commission policy with respect to exchange
offers such as the Exchange Offer, such that in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to the Company there is a substantial question as to whether the
Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, the Company
and the Guarantors hereby agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable
decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to
Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Initial Notes. The Company and the
Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the
Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially
unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. The Company and
the Guarantors hereby agree, however, to take all such other actions as are
reasonably requested by the Commission staff or otherwise required in
connection with the issuance of such decision, including without limitation, to
(A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission staff, (B)
deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company
setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded
that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a
resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff of such
submission.

 

(ii)                                  As
a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish,
upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written
representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of
transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the
effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged
in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding
with any Person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be
issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its
ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in the Company’s
preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees
that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to
participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange
Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this
Agreement rely on the position of the Commission

enunciated in no-action letters issued to Morgan Stanley and Co.
Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings
Corporation  (available May 13, 1988), as
interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2,
1993, and similar no-action letters 
(including any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above),
and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and
that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective
registration statement containing the selling security holder information
required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales
are of the Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes
acquired by such Holder directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof.

 

(iii)                               Prior
to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and
the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A)
stating that the Company and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offer
in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in no-action letters
issued to Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan
Stanley and Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and, if applicable, any
no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a
representation that neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into any
arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes
to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s
information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is
acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no
arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution
of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other
undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any
no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above.

 

(b)                                 Shelf Registration Statement. In
connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and shall

intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the
Company and the Guarantors will as expeditiously as possible, and in any event
within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof,
prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the
registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall
be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance
with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof.

 

(c)                                  General Provisions. In connection with any
Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit
the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without

Prospectus required to permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by
Restricted Broker-Dealers), the Company and the Guarantors shall:

 

(i)                                     use
their respective reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement

9

 

period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable;
upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration
Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement
or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer
Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company
and the Guarantors shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such
Registration Statement, (1) in the case of clause (A), correcting any such
misstatement or omission, and (2) in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use
their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared
effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become
usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter;

 

(ii)                                  use

the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and, if requested by
such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment thereto has been filed, and,
with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or
supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,
(C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the
suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the
Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the
existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of
a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference
therein untrue in any material respect, or that requires the making of any
additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; and if at any time the Commission shall issue
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or
any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an

supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which a selling
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement
or the underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if any, shall reasonably
object within five Business Days after the receipt thereof; and a selling
Holder or underwriter in connection with such sale, if any, shall be deemed to
have reasonably objected to such filing (A) if such Registration Statement,
amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed,
contains a material misstatement or omission or fails to comply with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (B) if any of the information
furnished to the Company by such selling Holder or underwriter in connection
with such sale, if any, and included in such Registration statement, amendment,
Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed is incorrect

(viii)                        in
the case of a shelf registration, use their respective commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration

 

11

respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage,
liability, judgment or action relating to purchases and sales of Notes), to
which that Holder, its directors, officers or controlling persons may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, liability, judgment or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus, Free Writing
Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the
Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the
Securities Act or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or
alleged omission to state in any Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus

against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or action as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, judgment or action arises out of, or is based upon, any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in any Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in
any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information concerning such Holder furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. The foregoing
indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have to any Holder or to any director, officer or controlling person
of such Holder.

 

(b)                                                         Each
Holder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers and each
person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor 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, judgments or actions,
joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company, any
Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, liability, judgment or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state in any Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or
in any amendment or

 

16

 

supplement thereto, any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Holder
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company, the Guarantors and any such
director, officer or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or
other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, any Guarantor
or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, judgment or action as such expenses are incurred. The
foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Holder
may otherwise have to the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer
or controlling person.

 

(c)                                                          Promptly
after receipt by any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “indemnified party”) of notice of any claim or
the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any person against whom indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “indemnifying party”), notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action;
provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to
the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided
further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than
under this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an
indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party,
to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party and the payment of all fees and out-of-pocket expenses of
such counsel shall be the responsibility of the indemnifying party. After
notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of the indemnifying
party’s election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Section 8 for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses subsequently incurred
by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation. In addition, any indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in
the defense thereof, but  the fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party
shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) of all
indemnified parties, and all such fees and expenses shall be

 

17

 

reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm
shall be designated in writing by the Purchasers in the case of the parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). No indemnifying party shall (i) without
the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential
parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) be liable for
any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of
the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any
such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment.

 

(d)                                                         If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section
8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or any
action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim,
damage, liability, judgment or action in respect thereof, (i) in such
proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other,
from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or action in respect
thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Initial
Notes purchased under the Purchase Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company on the one hand, and the total net proceeds received by
such Holder upon its resale of Notes less the amount paid by such Holder for such
Notes, on the other hand, bear to the total sum of such amounts. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors
or such Holder, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
Solely for the purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds
received by the Company shall be deemed also to be indirectly for the benefit
of the Guarantors and the information supplied by the Company shall also be
deemed to have been supplied by the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors
and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this Section 8 were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even
if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or action in
respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8, shall

 

18

 

be deemed to include, for purposes of this
Section 8(d), any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no
Holder, and none of its directors, officers or controlling persons, shall be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total net proceeds received by such Holder upon its resale of Notes
exceeds the sum of the amount paid by such Holder for such Notes and the amount
of any damages which such Holder has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by
reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. 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. The Holders’
obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in
proportion to the respective principal amount of Notes held by each of the
Holders hereunder and not joint.

 

(e)                                                          The
remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit
any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified
party at law or in equity.

 

9.                                      Rule
144A.  The Company and the
Guarantors hereby agree with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted
Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company is not
subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available to any
Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with
any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted
Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A.

 

10.                               Participation
in Underwritten Registration.  No
Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such
Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the
basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes
all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements.

 

11.                               Selection
of Underwriters.  For any
Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager
or managers that will administer such offering will be selected by the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted
Securities included in such offering; provided, that such investment bankers
and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Such investment
bankers and managers are referred to herein as the “underwriters.”

 

12.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  Remedies.
Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein, in the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including
recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantors
agree that monetary damages (including the Additional Interest contemplated
hereby) would not be adequate compensation for any loss

 

19

 

incurred by reason of a breach by them of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)                                 Free Writing Prospectus. The Company
represents, warrants and covenants that it (including its agents and
representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to
any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)
in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Exchange Notes,
other than any communication pursuant to Rule 134, Rule 135 or Rule 135c under
the Securities Act, any document constituting an offer to sell or solicitation
of an offer to buy the Notes or the Exchange Notes that falls within the
exception from the definition of prospectus in Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the
Securities Act or a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of
the Securities Act or of Rule 430, Rule 430A, Rule 430B, Rule 430C or Rule 431
under the Securities Act.

 

(c)                                  No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the
Company nor any Guarantor will on or after the date of this Agreement enter
into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor is currently bound by
any agreement granting registration rights with respect to its securities that
conflicts with the registration rights set forth herein.

 

(d)                                 Adjustments Affecting the Initial Notes. Neither
the Company nor any Guarantor will take any action, or permit any change to
occur, with respect to the Initial Notes that would materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer.

 

(e)                                  Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of
this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or
consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless
(i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(e), the Company has
obtained the written consent of the Holders of all outstanding principal amount
of Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions
hereof, the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority
of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that
relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being
tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or
indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered
pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered
or registered.

 

(f)                                    Notices. All notices and other
communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by
hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt

shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of

(i)                                     Headings. The headings in this Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect

(j)                                   Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

 

(k)                               Severability.

application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired
thereby.
