subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the date on which the event for
which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
shall be calculated giving pro forma
effect to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee, repayment or redemption of
Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of preferred stock, as if the same
had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period; provided, however,
borrowings in the ordinary course of business under any revolving credit
agreement shall not be given pro forma
effect and shall be included in the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio only to the extent such borrowings were actually outstanding during the
applicable four-quarter reference period.

deemed to have occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period
and Consolidated Cash Flow for such reference period shall be calculated
without giving effect to clause (iii) of the proviso set forth in the
definition of Consolidated Net Income; (ii) if since the beginning of such
period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged
with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of
such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger
or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this
definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period
as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation had
occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; (iii) whenever
pro forma effect is to be given
to an Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation and the
amount of income or earnings relating thereto, the pro forma calculations shall
be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of
the Company and shall comply with the requirements of Rule 11-02 of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC; (iv) if any Indebtedness bears a
floating rate of interest and is being given pro
forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated
as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date
had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any
Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness); (v) interest on a
Capital Lease Obligation shall be the amount 

 

12

 

recorded
as interest in accordance with GAAP; (vi) interest on any Indebtedness
under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average
daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period, and interest
on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based
upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered
rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually
chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company
may designate; (vii) the Consolidated Cash Flow attributable to
discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations
or businesses disposed of prior to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation

Date, shall be excluded.

default by the Company or the Guarantors in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee
may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Guarantor) shall have no further

Global Note 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.  All Global Notes will be exchanged by the
Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee
written 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 after the date of such notice from the Depositary
or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global
Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and
delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee.  Upon the occurrence of either of the
preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, and upon the surrender by the
Depositary of the Global Notes, Definitive Notes (accompanied by a notation of
the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) shall be issued in such
names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.  Global Notes also may be exchanged or
replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10
hereof.  Every Note authenticated and
delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof,
pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall
be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note,
except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in
(i) and (ii) above and pursuant to Section 2.06(c), (e) or
(f).  A Global Note may not be exchanged
for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however,
beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as
provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial

Procedures.  Beneficial interests in the
Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable
to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the
Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or
(ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following

restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided,
however, that prior to the expiration of
the Restricted Period transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S
Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a
U.S. Person (other than an initial purchaser in a resale pursuant to Rule 144A).  Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted
Global Note may be transferred only to Persons who take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note.  No written orders or instructions shall be
required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in
this Section 2.06(b)(i).

 

(ii)           All Other
Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.  In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests in a Global Note other than a transfer of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note, the transferor of
such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) 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 Note in an

given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information
regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a
written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the
Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the

beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions
given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the
Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the
transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above.  Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the
Company in accordance with Section 2.06(f), the requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) 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 Notes.  Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements
for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in
this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act,
the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant
to Section 2.06(h) hereof.

 

(iii)          Transfer of
Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.  A beneficial interest in any Restricted

form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer
complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) and the
Registrar receives the following:

 

(A)          if the

Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

 

34

REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE
AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 FOR RESALE OF THE

(A)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or
Definitive Note issued pursuant to subparagraph (b)(iv), (c)(iii), (c)(iv),
(d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii) of this Section 2.06 (and
all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall not bear
the Private Placement Legend.

 

(ii)           Global Note Legend. 
Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form:

 

“THIS
GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING
THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS
HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT

GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR

(h)           Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes.  At such time as all beneficial interests in a
particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular
Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in
part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by
the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if
any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a
Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes
represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement
shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or by the Depositary 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 Note,
such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall
be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the
direction of the Trustee, to reflect such increase.

 

(i)            General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

 

(i)            To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
Definitive Notes (in each case, 

 

44

 

accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees
duly endorsed by the Guarantors) upon the Company’s order or at the Registrar’s
request.

 

(ii)           No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note 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
payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections
2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.06, 4.07 and 9.05 hereof).

 

(iii)          The Registrar shall not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

 

(iv)          All Global Notes and Definitive Notes (in each case,
accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the
Guarantors) issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global
Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(v)           The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to
register the transfer of or to exchange Notes during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of notice of redemption
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (B) to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in
part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

 

(vi)          Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer
of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes
and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

(vii)         The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive
Notes (in each case, accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly
endorsed by the Guarantors) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
hereof.

 

(viii)        All certifications, certificates and
Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06
to effect a transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

 

(ix)           Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company and
the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange
or assignment of such Holder’s 

 

45

 

Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture
and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.07.               Replacement Notes.

 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee,
or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee, upon the written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the
Company, shall authenticate a replacement Note (accompanied by a notation of
the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) if the Trustee’s
requirements are met.  An indemnity bond
must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee,
any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may
suffer if a Note is replaced.  The
Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

 

Every
replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and the Guarantors
and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.08.               Outstanding Notes.

 

The
Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee
except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest in a Global Note 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 2.09
hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

 

If
a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

If
the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

 

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
Notes payable on 

 

46

 

that
date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer
outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

 

SECTION 2.09.               Treasury Notes.

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, by any
Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor,
shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

 

SECTION 2.10.               Temporary Notes.

 

Until
Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes (accompanied by a notation of the
Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) upon a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers of the Company. 
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes
but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes (accompanied by a
notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) in exchange
for temporary Notes.

 

Holders
of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 2.11.               Cancellation.

 

The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward
to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no
one else shall, in accordance with its customary procedures, cancel all Notes
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and shall confirm in writing to the Company which Notes have been
cancelled by the Trustee.  The Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

SECTION 2.12.               Defaulted Interest.

 

If
either the Company or any Guarantor defaults in a payment of interest on the
Notes, it or they (to the extent of their obligations under the Note
Guarantees) shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who
are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment. 
The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date
and payment date, provided that no such special
record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the 

 

47

 

related
payment date for such defaulted interest. 
At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon
the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense
of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such
interest to be paid.

 

SECTION 2.13.               CUSIP Numbers.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.14.               [Reserved].

 

SECTION 2.15.               Issuance of Additional Notes.

 

The
Company shall be entitled, without the consent of the Holders, to issue
Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount which
shall have substantially identical terms as the Notes, other than with respect
to the date of issuance, issue price, amount of interest payable on the first
payment date applicable thereto or upon a registration default as provided
under a registration rights agreement related thereto and, terms of optional
redemption, if any; provided that
such issuance is not prohibited by Section 4.09 or 4.10.  The Notes and any Additional Notes shall be
treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

 

With
respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of
its Board of Directors (or a duly appointed committee thereof) and in an
Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the
Trustee, the following information:

 

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

 

(2)           the issue price and
the issue date of such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on
the first payment date applicable thereto; and

 

(3)           whether such
Additional Notes shall be transfer restricted securities or shall be registered
securities.

ARTICLE 3

 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

 

SECTION 3.01.               Notices to Trustee.

 

If
the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption
provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at
least 35 (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) days but not
more than 75 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption
shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of
Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.  Such notice shall be given at least 45 days
prior to the redemption date in the event the Company desires that the Trustee
give notice of redemption to the holders of the Notes as more particularly set
forth in Section 3.03.

 

SECTION 3.02.               Selection of Notes to Be
Redeemed.

 

If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will
select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (in a manner that complies with all
applicable legal requirements and, as applicable, the rules and procedures
of DTC).

 

No
Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by
first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

 

If
any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates
to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  A new Note in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the
Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.  Notes called for redemption become due on the
date fixed for redemption.  On and after
the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them
called for redemption.

 

SECTION 3.03.               Notice of Redemption.

 

Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be
mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes
are to be redeemed at its registered address.

 

The
notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and
shall state:

 

(a)           the redemption date;

 

(b)           the redemption price;

 

49

 

(c)           if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the
principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption
date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original
Note;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(g)           the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this
Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;
and

 

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

 

At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period
as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the
Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such
notice as provided in the preceding paragraph and containing a copy of the text
of the notice to the Holders.  The notice
mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have
been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case,
failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice, shall not affect the
validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note.

 

SECTION 3.04.               Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once
notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof,
Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price. 
A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

 

SECTION 3.05.               Deposit of Redemption Price.

 

One
Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price
of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the
Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

 

If
the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and
after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the
portions of Notes called for redemption. 
If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or
prior to 

 

50

 

the
related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be
paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of
business on such record date.  If any
Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph,
interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until
such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on
such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01
hereof.

 

SECTION 3.06.               Notes Redeemed in Part.

 

Upon
surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon
the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at
the expense of the Company a new Note (accompanied by a notation of the Note
Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

 

SECTION 3.07.               Optional Redemption.

 

(a)           The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any
time prior to April 1, 2014, at the option of the Company upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each
Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the applicable
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

 

(b)           Except as set forth in clauses (a) and (c) of
this Section 3.07, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the
Notes pursuant to this Section 3.07 prior to April 1, 2014.  Thereafter, the Company may redeem all or a
part of the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to each Holder’s registered
address, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to,
but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due
on an interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:

 

	
  YEAR

  2016 and thereafter

  	
   

  	
  100.000

(c)           Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of
this Section 3.07, at any time prior to April 1, 2013, the Company
may at its option on any one or more occasions redeem the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if
any) at a redemption price of 111.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the
applicable redemption date (subject to the right of 

 

51

 

Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with the net cash
proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided
that:

 

(i)            at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of the
Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of
such redemption (other than Notes held directly or indirectly by the Parent
Company, the Company and its Subsidiaries); and

 

(ii)           each such redemption must occur within 90 days of the date
of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

 

(d)           Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

 

SECTION 3.08.               Mandatory Redemption.

 

Except
as set forth under Sections 4.06 and 4.07 hereof, the Company shall not be
required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to
the Notes.

 

SECTION 3.09.               Offer to Purchase by
Application of Net Proceeds.

 

In
the event that, pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof, the Company shall be
required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Offer”), it
shall follow the procedures specified below.

 

The
Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its
commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is
required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”).  Promptly after the termination of the Offer
Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount
of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof (the “Offer
Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered in response to the Offer. 
Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as
interest payments are made.

 

If
the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the
related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to
the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such
record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender
Notes pursuant to the Offer.

 

Upon
the commencement of an Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a
notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall contain all instructions and
materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the
Offer.  The Offer shall be made to all
Holders.  The notice, which shall govern
the terms of the Offer, shall state:

 

(a)           that the Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09
and Section 4.07 hereof and the length of time the Offer shall remain
open;

 

52

 

(b)           the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date
and, if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is required to and does make
an offer to holders of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations or Other
Debt as contemplated by clause (x) or clause (y) of the third
paragraph of Section 4.07(c)  the notice shall state that fact, that
the Offer Amount will be reduced by the amount of Other Debt or Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Obligations, as applicable, required to be purchased
pursuant to such other offer, and that the amount of such reduction will not be
known until the expiration of such other offer, which shall not be later than
the expiration of the Offer Period;

 

(c)           that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall
continue to accrete or accrue interest;

 

(d)           that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment,
any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer shall cease to accrete or
accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

 

(e)           that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to
an Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased and may not elect to
have only a portion of such Note purchased;

 

(f)            that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant
to any Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option
of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer
by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the
Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least
three days before the Purchase Date;

 

(g)           that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

 

(h)           that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the
Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be
deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of
$2,000, or $1,000 integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and

 

(i)            that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall
be issued new Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly
endorsed by the Guarantors) equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

 

On
or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept
for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of
Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer, or if less than the

53

 

 

Notes
tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09.  The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent,
as the case may be, shall promptly mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an
amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and
accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a
new Note (in each case, accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly
endorsed by the Guarantors), and the Trustee, upon written request from the
Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in
a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.  Any Note not so accepted
shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder
thereof.  The Company shall publicly
announce the results of the Offer on the Purchase Date.

 

Other
than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant
to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections
3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

 

SECTION 3.10.               Other Acquisitions of Notes.

 

Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein, the Company may acquire Notes
by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer,
open market purchase or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities
laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this
Indenture.

Trustee.

 

The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that
no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York (or for so long as U.S. Bank National Association, or a
successor in interest thereto, is the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee) for such purposes.  The

(a)           The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the
course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the
Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default, and further stating,
as to each such Officer signing such Officers’ Certificate, that, to his or her
knowledge, no Default or Event of Default has occurred during such period (or,
if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such
Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

 

(b)           Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall, so long as
any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any
Officer of the Company or any Guarantor becoming aware of any Default or Event
of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of
Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.

 

SECTION 4.04.               Taxes.

 

The
Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to
delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except
such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the
failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders of the Notes.

 

55

 

SECTION 4.05.               Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

Each
of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or
usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the
Company and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that
it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 

SECTION 4.06.               Change of Control.

 

(a)           If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will
have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or a $1,000 integral multiple thereof
(provided that no Note will be purchased in part if
such Note would have a remaining principal amount of less than $2,000)) of that
Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control
Offer”).  In the Change of Control Offer,
the Company will offer to pay an amount in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”)
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the
applicable date of purchase.  Within 30
days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each
Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control and offering to repurchase such Holder’s Notes on the date specified in
such notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures
required by this Indenture and described in such notice.  The Company will comply with the requirements
of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable
in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control.  To the extent the provisions of
any securities laws are inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture, the
Company will not be deemed to have breached this covenant by complying with
such laws.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

56

 

(c)           The Change of Control Offer shall remain open for at least
20 Business Days or for such longer period as is required by law.

 

(d)           The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of
Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee
will promptly authenticate and mail as directed in writing by the Company (or
cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be
in a principal amount that is a multiple of $1,000 and at least $2,000.

 

(e)           The provisions described in this Section 4.06 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.

 

(f)            The Company will not be required to make a Change of
Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) 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 Indenture applicable to a Change of
Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and
not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, or (ii) if at any time
prior to 30 days after a Change of Control, a notice of redemption has been
given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof. 
In addition, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a
Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive
agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of
the Change of Control Offer, and such Change of Control Offer is otherwise made
in compliance with the provisions of this covenant.

 

SECTION 4.07.               Asset Sales.

 

The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
consummate an Asset Sale unless:

 

(a)           the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the
fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the assets or
Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

 

(b)           at least 75% of the Net Proceeds received by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this provision, each of the
following shall be deemed to be cash:

 

(i)            any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such
Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet), of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that
are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are
assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation,
assignment and assumption or similar agreement that releases the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

 

57

 

(ii)           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 such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent
of the cash received in that conversion) within 180 days following the closing
of such Asset Sale; and

 

(iii)          any combination of the foregoing.

 

(c)           If such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral,
the Company or such Subsidiary has complied with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Security Documents.

 

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds
from an Asset Sale, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net
Proceeds:

 

(i)            to be reinvested in the business of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, which shall include the purchase of any Replacement
Assets, and to the extent that the assets that were the subject of such Asset
Sale constituted Collateral, such Replacement Assets shall be required to
constitute Collateral;

 

(ii)           to repay First Lien Obligations; or

 

(iii)          any combination of the foregoing.

 

The amount of any such Net Proceeds, if any, not
applied during such 365-day period as set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

 

If,
as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds totals at least $10.0 million, then the Company shall, not later than
the 15th day of such month, make an offer to purchase all or a portion of the
Notes, as applicable, at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, and if applicable, (x) in the case of Net
Proceeds from Collateral, to make an offer to the holders of other Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Obligations and (y) in the case of any other Net
Proceeds, to make an offer to the holders of other Indebtedness of the Company
that ranks pari passu with the
Notes (the “Other Debt”), in either case (x) and (y) that by its
terms requires the Company to make an offer to purchase such Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Obligations or Other Debt, as applicable, upon
consummation of an Asset Sale, on a pro rata basis
and in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and, as applicable, Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Obligations or Other Debt, equal to the Excess Proceeds
on such date.  To the extent that any
Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of such offer to purchase pursuant to
this Section 4.07, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and Section 3.09, and
the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

 

The
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph.  To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture, the Company will comply with the 

 

58

 

applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such
compliance.

 

Pending
the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce
revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner
that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

 

SECTION 4.08.               Restricted Payments.

 

The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly:

 

(a)           declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or
distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’
Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with
any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other
than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
Stock) of the Company or to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company);

 

(b)           purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value
(including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation

(other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company);

 

(c)           make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase,
redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Indebtedness that
is subordinated to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, except a payment of
interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or

 

(d)           make any Restricted Investment

 

(all
such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above
being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time
of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

 

(i)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

 

(ii)           the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment
and after giving pro forma effect
thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the
most recently ended four-quarter period for which internal financial statements
are available, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a);
and

 

59

 

(iii)          such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount
of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by
clauses (iii), (v), (vii), (viii) and (xi) of Section 4.08(e)),
is less than the sum, without duplication, of

 

(A)          50% of the Consolidated Net Income (or, in each case such
Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) of the
Company since the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date
occurs, plus

 

(B)           the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company on

(C)           the aggregate cash and the fair market value, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of property
and marketable securities received by the Company as capital contributions on
and after the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs,
plus

 

(D)          the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company is reduced
on the Company’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to
the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company for Capital Stock of the
Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property,
distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange), plus

 

(E)           in the event of a sale or other disposition (other than of
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of a Restricted Investment made by the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or a repurchase or redemption of a
Restricted Investment from the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or
repayment of a loan or advance which constitutes a Restricted Investment by the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 100%
of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of property and marketable
securities, in each case, received on and after the first day of the fiscal
quarter in which the Issue Date occurs and (y) the amount of such
Restricted Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, in either case,
less the cost of the disposition of such Investment and net of taxes, plus

 

(F)           100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market
value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the 

 

60

 

Company, of property and marketable securities, in
each case, received on and after the first day of the fiscal quarter in which
the Issue Date occurs by means of the sale (other than to the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary) of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a
distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than, in each case, to the
extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted
Investment) or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

 

(e)           The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

 

(i)            the payment of any dividend on, or other distribution in
respect of, any Equity Interest within 60 days after the date of declaration
thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with
the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(ii)           the repurchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or
other acquisition of any pari passu
or subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity

of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a
Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company or the Parent
Company;

 

(iii)          the redemption, repurchase, defeasance, retirement or other

Company upon the death, disability, retirement or termination of employment or
service with or to the Company, the Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company or pursuant to any stockholders agreement, consulting agreement,
employment agreement, management equity subscription agreement, restricted
stock purchase agreement, stock option agreement or any similar agreement or
plan in effect as of the Issue Date or approved by the Board of Directors or
the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Parent
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such
repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed

at any time and (y) the aggregate amount of all outstanding loans and
advances made under this clause (vi) to all Franchisees does not exceed
$6,000,000 at any time;

 

(vii)         the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or

shall have occurred or would be continuing or would occur as a result thereof.

 

(f)            The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash)
shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the
asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted
Payment.  The fair market value of any
assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant shall be
determined conclusively by an officer of the Company, acting in good faith, if
such officer’s determined fair market value is less than or equal to
$2,500,000.  If the fair market value
determined in good faith by such officer of the Company exceeds $2,500,000, the

the Company acting in good faith whose resolution with respect thereto shall be
delivered to the Trustee.  If the fair
market value is estimated in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company to exceed $15,000,000, the determination shall be based upon an opinion
or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of

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); provided that
the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt), if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most

statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 5.0 to 1.0,
determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net
proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the
beginning of such four-quarter period; provided, further,
that the amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) that may be
incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
Guarantors of the Notes shall not exceed $10.0 million at any one time
outstanding.

Subsidiary of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (including amounts
outstanding on the Issue Date); provided
that the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness under such Credit
Facilities (including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to
refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause
(i)) permitted by this clause (i) does not exceed $215.0 million less any
permanent reductions of Indebtedness thereunder actually made with the Net
Proceeds of Asset Sales in accordance with Section 4.07(c)(ii);

construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the
business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (whether through the
direct purchase of assets or the purchase of Equity Interests of any Person
owning such assets), in an aggregate principal amount (including all Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (iv)) not to exceed $12.5 million
at any time outstanding;

 

(v)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net

(A)          if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
Indebtedness and such Indebtedness is owed to or held by a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly
subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect
to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee of such
Guarantor, in the case of a Guarantor; and

 

(B)           (1) 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 thereof and (2) any sale or
other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, 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 was not permitted by this clause (vi);

 

(vii)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of hedging
interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the
terms of this Indenture to be outstanding and not for speculative purposes;

 

(viii)        the Guarantee by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another
provision of this Section 4.09;

 

(ix)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted by Section 4.09(a) or
clauses (i) through (xvi) of this Section 4.09(b)) in an
aggregate principal amount (or accrued value, as applicable) at any time
outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to
refund, refinance or replace any such Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
clause (ix), not to exceed $25 million;

 

(x)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of judgment, appeal, surety, bonds
required in the course of licensure performance and other like bonds, bankers
acceptances and letters of credit provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries
in the ordinary course of business and payment obligations in connection with
self-insurance and similar obligations (including any similar Indebtedness
incurred to refinance, retire, renew, defease, refund or otherwise replace any
Indebtedness referred to in this clause (x));

 

64

 

(xi)           Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment
of purchase price, earnout or similar obligations, or from guarantees of
letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing the performance
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, made, given or entered into in
connection with the acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of all or a portion of the Equity Interests, business or assets of
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;

 

(xii)          Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other
financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against
insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided
that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of receipt of
notice of such incurrence;

 

(xiii)         Acquired Debt (including Acquired Debt
incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary prior to the time that such Restricted
Subsidiary was acquired by the Company), provided that
after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(xiii) and
the related acquisition transaction, either (a) the Company would have
been able to incur $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) or (b) the Company’s
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be greater than such ratio immediately prior
to such acquisition transaction;

 

(xiv)        any Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
Indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness or obligation by
the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary incurring such Indebtedness or
obligation is permitted by this Indenture;

 

(xv)         Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
Guarantors in an amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $10.0 million;
and

 

(xvi)        Indebtedness of Canadian Subsidiaries in an amount
outstanding at any time not to exceed $20.0 million.

 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09,
the outstanding principal amount of any Indebtedness shall be counted only once
such that (without limitation) any obligation arising under any Guarantee or
with respect to letters of credit supporting such Indebtedness shall not
constitute a separate incurrence, or amount outstanding, of, or additional, Indebtedness
for any purposes hereunder, and in the event that an item of proposed
Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted
Debt described in Section 4.09 (b)(i) through (b)(xvi) above, or
is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will
be permitted to divide and classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part in
its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with
this Section 4.09 and such Indebtedness will be treated as having been
incurred pursuant to such clause or clauses or Section 4.09(a), as the
case may be, as designated by the Company; provided
that any incurrences of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities must be first
applied to clause (i) above. 
Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value or
liquidation preference and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of
additional Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to 

 

65

 

be
an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes
of this Section 4.09.

 

In addition, with respect to any non-U.S.
dollar-denominated Indebtedness, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness
will be calculated in an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars 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 the same or a different
non-U.S. currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate
in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction will 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.

 

SECTION 4.10.               Liens.

 

The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of
any kind securing Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or trade payables on any
asset or property now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

 

SECTION 4.11.               Dividend and Other Payment
Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

 

(a)           The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted

(i)            pay dividends or make any other distributions or pay
Indebtedness to the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries, or
with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its
profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

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

 

(iii)          transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or

into on, the Issue Date, including agreements governing Existing Indebtedness
and Credit Facilities and other contractual encumbrances or restrictions in
each case as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, modifications,
restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings of those agreements, provided
that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, 

 

66

 

replacements or refinancings
are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such encumbrances
and restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date;

 

(ii)           this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes and the
Note Guarantees;

 

(iii)          any applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as in
effect at the time of the Company’s acquisition of such Person or Restricted

incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), 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, so acquired, provided that,
in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of
this Indenture to be incurred, and any amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of
any such agreement or instrument, provided that
such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a
whole, with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained
in those agreements and instruments on the date of such acquisition;

 

(v)           purchase money obligations for property acquired in the
ordinary course of business;

 

(vi)          any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a
Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions, loans, advances or asset
transfers by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

 

(vii)         Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, that the restrictions contained
in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not
materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the
agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

 

(viii)        any agreement or instrument relating to
any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant
to the provisions of Section 4.09 hereof (i) if the encumbrances and
restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are
not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances
and restrictions contained in this Indenture (as determined in good faith by
the Company), or (ii) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially
more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in
comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (x) the
Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not
materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments
on the Notes or (y) such encumbrance or 

 

67

 

restriction applies only if
a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such
Indebtedness;

 

(ix)           Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be
incurred under Section 4.10 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to
dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

 

(x)            provisions with respect to the disposition or
distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale
agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in
the ordinary course of business;

 

(xi)           in the case of clause (iii) of Section 4.11(a) hereof,

of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture, or

 

(C)           arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business,
not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the
aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary; and

 

(xii)          customary restrictions on such loans, advances or transfers
contained in agreements governing Permitted Investments properly made in accordance

(a)           The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its 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 (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

 

(i)            such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not
materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary
than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

 

(ii)           the Company delivers to the Trustee:

 

68

 

(A)         with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of

and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors, if any; and

 

(B)         with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$15.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing or having substantial experience
in the Company’s industry.

 

(b)           The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.12(a):

 

(i)            any employment agreement entered into by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

approved by the Company’s or the Parent Company’s Board of Directors or
compensation committee of its Board of Directors;

 

69

 

(viii)        transactions in which the Company or any

from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing
or having substantial experience in the Company’s industry stating that such
transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

 

(ix)           any agreement, instrument or arrangement as in effect on

long as any such amendment, renewal or replacement, taken as a whole is not
disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect as compared to the
applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as reasonably determined in
good faith by the Company);

 

(x)            the existence of, or the performance by the Company or

any Restricted Subsidiary of obligations under any future amendment to any such
existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue
Date shall only be permitted by this clause (x) to the extent that the
terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto,
taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to
the Holders in any material respect than the terms of the original agreement in
effect on the Issue Date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company;

 

(xi)           so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom, the payment of management, consulting,
monitoring and advisory fees and related expenses and termination fees pursuant

Sponsor Management Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any amendment

(xiv)        any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such
Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged into the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided
that such agreement was in effect prior to, and was not created in
contemplation of, such acquisition or merger; and

 

(xv)         Affiliate Transactions with Franchisees who are Affiliates
as long as the terms of any such Affiliate Transactions are not materially less
favorable to the Company 

 

70

 

than the terms applicable to
similar transactions, agreements or arrangements with Franchisees who are not
Affiliates.

 

SECTION 4.13.               Additional Guarantees.

 

If
after the Issue Date the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
acquires or creates another Restricted Subsidiary and such Restricted
Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, that newly acquired or created Restricted
Subsidiary must, unless prohibited by law from guaranteeing the Notes, become a
Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee and
deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 30 days of the date on
which it was acquired or created.

 

The
Obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture and any
Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations of any Person that is or becomes a
Guarantor after the Issue Date will be secured equally and ratably by a Second
Priority Lien on the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Holders of the Notes and the Holders of Permitted Additional Pari Passu
Obligations.  Such Guarantor shall enter
into a joinder agreement to the applicable Security Documents defining the
terms of the security interests that secure payment and performance when due of
the Notes and take all actions advisable in the opinion of the Company, as set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
Company, to cause the Second Priority Liens created by the Security Documents
to be duly perfected to the extent required by such agreements in accordance
with all applicable law, including the filing of financing statements in the
jurisdictions of incorporation or formation of the Company and the Guarantors.

 

SECTION 4.14.               Limitations on Issuances of
Guarantees of Indebtedness.

 

The
Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a
Guarantor of the Notes, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any
assets to secure the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company or the
Parent Company unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and
delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of
the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary to the same extent as such Guarantee of
such other Indebtedness, which Guarantee shall be senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee of or
pledge to secure such other Indebtedness.

 

Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, any Note Guarantee of the Notes shall provide by its
terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged under the circumstances described in Section 10.05 hereof.  The form of the Guarantee of the Notes is
attached as Exhibit D hereto.

 

SECTION 4.15.               Business Activities.

 

The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in
any business other than Permitted Businesses and other activities that, taken
as a whole, are immaterial to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

 

71

 

SECTION 4.16.               Designation of Restricted and
Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 

The
Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.  If a Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its
Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment
made as of the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available
for Restricted Payments under the Section 4.08(d) or Permitted
Investments, as applicable.  All such
outstanding Investments will be valued at their fair market value at the time
of such designation.  In addition, such
designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be
permitted at that time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of
an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”  The Board
of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.

 

SECTION 4.17.               Payments for Consent.

 

The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of
any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment
of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes
that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 

SECTION 4.18.               Reports.

 

(a)           At all times prior to the effectiveness of a registration
statement filed as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company
will furnish to the Trustee and, upon request, to beneficial owners of the
Notes, a copy of all of the following information and reports:

 

(i)            within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year, annual
audited financial statements for such fiscal year (along with customary
comparative results) and

 

(ii)           within 45 days of the end of each of the first three
fiscal quarters of every fiscal year, unaudited financial statements for the
interim period as of, and for the period ending on, the end of such fiscal
quarter (along with comparative results for the corresponding interim period in
the prior year),

 

in
each case, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” with respect to the periods presented and,
with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial
statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants (all of the
information in this Section 4.18 to be prepared in accordance with GAAP
(as in effect at such time)).

 

(b)           Following the effectiveness of a registration statement,
whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the
Company shall furnish to the 

 

72

 

Holders of Notes and the Trustee, within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:

 

(i)            all quarterly and annual financial information that would
be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, if
the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and,
with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial
statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and

 

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

 

In
addition, whether or not required by the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of
all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above
with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC shall not accept such a
filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective
investors upon request.  For purposes of
the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company will be deemed to have
furnished the Holders of the Notes with the information and reports referred to
in clauses (i) and (ii) above when the same shall have been filed
with the SEC and shall have been made available on the SEC’s EDGAR
website.  The Company also shall comply
with the other provisions of Trust Indenture Act § 314(a).

 

The
foregoing reporting obligation may be satisfied by information and reports prepared
and, if applicable, filed by the Parent Company on a consolidated basis under
the requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively
on Officers’ Certificates).

 

SECTION 4.19.               Further Assurances.

 

Subject
to the limitations in the Security Documents, the Company will, and will cause
each of its existing and future Guarantors to, at their expense, duly execute
and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further
agreements, documents and instruments and do or cause to be done such further
acts as may be necessary and proper to:

 

(a)           effectuate the purposes of this Indenture and the Security
Documents; and

 

(b)           evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce the validity,
effectiveness and priority of any of the Second Priority Liens on the
collateral granted to the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5.01.               Merger, Consolidation, or Sale
of Assets.

 

The
Company may not, directly or indirectly: 
(i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or
not the Company is the surviving corporation); or (ii) sell, assign,
transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person; unless:

 

(a)           either:  (i) the
Company is the surviving corporation; or (ii) the Person formed by or

(b)           the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation
or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale,

expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes, this
Indenture and the Security Documents pursuant to agreements reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee;

additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
forth in Section 4.09(a).

SECTION 6.02.               Acceleration.

 

If
any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or
(i) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes
to be due and payable immediately.  Upon
any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof
occurs with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary constituting a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a 

 

77

 

Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without
further action or notice.  The Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an
acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of
principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the
acceleration) have been cured or waived.

 

SECTION 6.03.               Other Remedies.

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 6.04.               Waiver of Past Defaults.

 

Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, premium or interest on, the Notes (including in connection
with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such
acceleration).  Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 6.05.               Control by Majority.

 

Subject
to the terms of the Security Documents, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it. 
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability.

 

78

 

SECTION 6.06.               Limitation on Suits.

 

A
Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes only if:

 

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

 

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

 

(c)           such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense;

 

(d)           the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60
days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the
provision of indemnity; and

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 6.07.               Rights of Holders of Notes to
Receive Payment.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an
offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder.

 

SECTION 6.08.               Collection Suit by Trustee.

 

If
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

SECTION 6.09.               Trustee May File Proofs
of Claim.

 

The
Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its 

 

79

 

agents
and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or any of the Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the
Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07
hereof.  To the extent that the payment
of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07
hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any
reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid
out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other
properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or
otherwise.  Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding.

 

SECTION 6.10.               Priorities.

 

Subject
to the terms of the Security Documents, if the Trustee collects (or receives
from the Collateral Agent under any Security Documents) any money pursuant to
this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order, at the date or
dates fixed by the Trustee and, in the case of the distribution of such money
on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon
presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

First:  to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, its
agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including
payment of all compensation, expense, indemnities and liabilities incurred, and
all advances made, by the Trustee or Collateral Agent and the costs and
expenses of collection;

 

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

 

Third:  to the Company or to such party as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 

The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of
Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

 

80

 

SECTION 6.11.               Undertaking for Costs.

 

In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant
in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant.  This Section 6.11 does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07
hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes.

 

SECTION 6.12.               Notice.

 

The
Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with this Indenture pursuant to Section 4.03(a).  Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event

TRUSTEE

 

SECTION 7.01.               Duties of Trustee.

 

(a)           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and the Security Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill
in its 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 duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only
those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others,
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, in the case of any such certificates
or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture
(but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein).

 

81

 

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

 

(i)            this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) or
(e) of this Section;

 

(ii)           the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a final nonappealable

ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

 

(iii)          the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

provision of this Indenture or any provision of any Security Document that in
any way relates to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is subject to paragraphs

(e)           No provision of this Indenture or the Security Documents
shall require the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own
funds or incur any liability.  The
Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of its rights and powers under this Indenture or the Security Documents at the
request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee
and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, security and indemnity satisfactory
to it against any loss, liability or expense.

 

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

by law.

any fact or matter stated in the document.

 

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

counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or any Guarantor
shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or any Guarantor.

liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.

Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 7.03.               Individual Rights of Trustee.

 

The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Guarantors or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.  However, in the event that the
Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict
within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or
resign.  Any Agent may do the same with
like rights and duties.  The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

 

SECTION 7.04.               Trustee’s Disclaimer.

 

Neither
the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or make any
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes,

for the safe custody of Collateral in its possession actually received by it in
accordance with the terms hereof or the terms of any Security Document) for the
legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Security Document, or for the
creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Second Priority
Lien, and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be accountable for
the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the
Company or upon the Company’s direction under any

 

83

 

 

provision
of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be
responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying
Agent other than the Trustee, and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent
shall be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in
the Notes, any statement or recital in any document in connection with the sale
of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication on the Notes

 

SECTION 7.05.               Notice of Defaults.

 

If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of
the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the date the Trustee
acquires knowledge thereof.  Except in
the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so
long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

 

SECTION 7.06.               Reports by Trustee to Holders
of the Notes.

 

Within
60 days after each May 15 following the Issue Date (beginning with May 15,
2010), and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to
the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that
complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need
be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall
comply with TIA Section 313(b), if applicable, and TIA Section 313(c).

 

A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be
mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which
the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d).  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee
in writing when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted from any
stock exchange.

 

SECTION 7.07.               Compensation and Indemnity.

 

The
Company and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing between the Company and the
Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company and the Guarantors shall
reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation
for its services.  Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s
agents and counsel.

 

The
Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify each of the Trustee and its
officers, directors, agents and employees or any successor Trustee against any
and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties
under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of 

 

84

 

enforcing
this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07)
and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any
Guarantor, or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  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 and the Guarantors of their obligations
hereunder.  The Company and the
Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense.  The Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel.  The Company
and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

The
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 are
joint and several and shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or termination
of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

To
secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07,
the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and
interest on particular Notes.  Such Lien
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
any Bankruptcy Law.

 

The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to
the extent applicable.

 

SECTION 7.08.               Replacement of Trustee.

 

A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

 

The
Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by so notifying the Company. 
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in
writing.  The Company may remove the
Trustee if:

 

(a)           the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

 

(b)           the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an
order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;

 

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

 

85

 

(d)           the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee.  Within one year after the
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 

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

 

If
the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Note who has been a
Holder of a Note for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10,
such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company. 
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. 
The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders
of the Notes.  The retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been
paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s and the Guarantors’
obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.09.               Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

 

If
the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.10.               Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

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 $100 million as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition.

 

This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1),
(2) and (5).  The Trustee is subject
to, and shall comply with, TIA Section 310(b).

 

86

 

SECTION 7.11.               Preferential Collection of
Claims Against Company.

 

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

 

SECTION 7.12.               Collateral Agent.

 

The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Collateral Agent as if the Collateral Agent were named as
the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture
herein.

 

SECTION 7.13.               Co-Trustees; Separate Trustee;
Collateral Agent

 

At
any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral may at the time be located, the
Company, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and,
upon the written request of (i) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or
(ii) the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of
the Notes, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary
or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act
as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, co-collateral
agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent of any such property,
in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of
appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid,
any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 7.13. 
If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent alone shall
have power to make such appointment.

 

Should
any written instrument from the Company be requested by any co-trustee or
separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate
collateral agent so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or
separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such
instruments shall, on request of such co-trustee or separate trustee or
separate collateral agent, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Company.

 

Any
co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or
separate collateral agent shall agree in writing to be and shall be subject to
the provisions of the applicable Security Documents as if it were the Trustee
or Collateral Agent thereunder (and the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall
continue to be so subject).

 

Every
co-trustee or separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or
separate collateral agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such
extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:

 

(a)           The Notes shall be authenticated and delivered, and all
rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities,
cash and other 

 

87

 

personal property held by,
or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be
exercised solely, by the Trustee.

 

(b)           The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by
such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee
jointly, or by the Trustee and such co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent
or separate collateral agent jointly as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing such co-trustee, separate trustee or separate collateral agent,
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee, separate
trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral
agent.

 

(c)           The Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company evidenced by a board
resolution, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee, separate
trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral
agent appointed under this Section 7.13, and, in case an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the
resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee, separate trustee or
co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent without
the concurrence of the Company.  Upon the
written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary
or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal.  A successor to any co-trustee, separate
trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral
agent so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 7.13.

 

(d)           No co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent,
sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent hereunder shall be liable by
reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee,
co-trustee, separate trustee, co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or
separate collateral agent hereunder.

 

(e)           The Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act or
omission of any co-trustee, separate trustee, co-collateral agent,
sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent.

 

(f)            Any act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee, separate trustee or
co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent, as the
case may be.

 

SECTION 7.14.               Patriot Act.

 

The
parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA
PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “U.S.A. Patriot Act”), the Trustee, like all financial institutions
and in order to help fight the funding of 

 

88

 

terrorism
and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information
that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or
opens an account with the Trustee.  The
parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such
information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the
requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

 

SECTION 7.15.               Force Majeure

 

In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in
the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without
limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil
or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer
(software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall
use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the
banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

SECTION 7.16.               Limitation on Duty of Trustee
in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification.

 

(a)           Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody
thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income
thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing
any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or
instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting
or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The
Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the
Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be
liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the
Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency
or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith.

 

(b)           The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence,
genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority
or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by
operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part
hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the
validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment
contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the
Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges,
assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of
the Collateral. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security
Documents by the Company, any Guarantor, the Secured Parties or the Collateral
Agent.

ARTICLE 8

 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

SECTION 8.01.               Option to Effect Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The
Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution
set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

 

SECTION 8.02.               Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

 

Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable
to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed
to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, as applicable, on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05
hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below,
and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this
Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:  (a) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund
described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s and the Guarantors’
obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02
hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in
connection therewith and (d) this Article 8.  Subject to compliance with this Article 8,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.

 

SECTION 8.03.               Covenant Defeasance.

 

Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be
released from its obligations under the Security Documents and the covenants
contained in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14,
4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 5.01(c), (d), (e) and (f) hereof
with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes
shall thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not
be deemed outstanding 

 

90

 

for
accounting purposes).  For this purpose,
Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, 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 covenant, whether directly
or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant
or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes
shall be unaffected thereby.  In
addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through
6.01(g) and 6.01(j) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

 

SECTION 8.04.               Conditions to Legal or
Covenant Defeasance.

 

The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

 

In
order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, 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 and Additional Interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated
maturity or on an applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the
Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
particular redemption date;

 

(b)           in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (B) 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
Notes 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; provided,
that the opinion of counsel required by this clause (b) with respect to
Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due
and payable at the Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense of, the Company;

 

(c)           in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof,
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
United States reasonably 

 

91

 

acceptable to the Trustee
confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(d)           no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default or
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

 

(e)           such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not
result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any First
Lien Obligation or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this
Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

 

(f)            the Company must 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 must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the
intent of preferring the Holders of Notes 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 must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided
for, in the case of the Officers’ Certificate, clauses (a) through (g) and,
in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses (b), (c), (e) and (f) of
this Section 8.04 relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant
Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with.

 

SECTION 8.05.               Deposited Money and Government
Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject
to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

The
Company and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally pay and indemnify the
Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the
cash or non-

 

92

 

callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
outstanding Notes.

 

Anything
in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company
any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04
hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof),
are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited
to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

SECTION 8.06.               Repayment to Company.

 

Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall,
subject to applicable escheat law, be paid to the Company on its request or (if
then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Note shall thereafter, as a secured creditor, look only to the Company
or Guarantors for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such
Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company
as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that 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 shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
shall be repaid to the Company.

 

SECTION 8.07.               Reinstatement.

 

If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or
non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable, shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as
the case may be; provided, however,
that, if the Company or the Guarantors make any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company and the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent.

by a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent.

 

Upon
the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company and each of the Guarantors, authorizing the execution
of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee
of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join
with the Company and each of the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or
supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be
therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

SECTION 9.02.         With Consent of Holders of
Notes.

 

Except
as provided below in this Section 9.02, (i) the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including
Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof), the Note Guarantees, and the Notes with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the
Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or
Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment
default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance
with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes) and (ii) the
Security Documents or the obligations thereunder may be amended or
supplemented, or compliance may be waived with the consent of the Holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the
Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations then outstanding, voting as one
class.

 

Upon
the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company and each of the Guarantors authorizing the execution
of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders
of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company 

 

95

 

and
each of the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental
Indenture unless otherwise provided in Section 9.06 hereof.

 

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

 

After
an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective,
the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver.  Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision
of this Indenture or the Notes.  However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not
(with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

 

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

 

(b)           reduce the principal of or
change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to
the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 3.09,
4.06 and 4.07 hereof);

 

(c)           reduce the rate of or change
the time for payment of interest on any Note;

 

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

 

(e)           make any Notes payable in
money other than that stated in the Notes;

 

(f)            make any change in the
provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights
of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or
Additional Interest or interest on the Notes;

 

(g)           waive a redemption payment
with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.06
or 4.07);

 

(h)           release any Guarantor from
any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, or amend the
provisions of this Indenture relating to the release of Guarantors, except as
set forth in this Indenture or the Security Documents;

 

(i)            except as set forth in this
Indenture, subordinate in right of payment, the Notes to any other Indebtedness
of the Company; or

 

96

 

(j)            make any change in the
preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

 

In
addition, without the consent of Holders of at least 75% of the principal
amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may release all or
substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents
otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security
Documents.

 

SECTION 9.03.         Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act.

 

Every
amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, or the Notes
shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with
the TIA as then in effect.

 

SECTION 9.04.         Revocation and Effect of
Consents.

 

Until
an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a
Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on
any Note.  However, any such Holder of a
Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if
the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver,
supplement or amendment becomes effective. 
An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with
its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

SECTION 9.05.         Notation on or Exchange of
Notes.

 

The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or
waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. 
The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate new Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly
endorsed by the Guarantors) that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

Failure
to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the
validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

SECTION 9.06.         Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

 

The
Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to
this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect
the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  The Company and the Guarantors may not sign
an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves
it.  In executing any amended or
supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

 

GUARANTEES

 

SECTION 10.01.       Note Guarantees.

 

Subject
to the provisions of this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby,
jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, that:  (a) the
principal of, premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full
when due, whether at the maturity or interest payment or mandatory redemption
date, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal
of, premium and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture
and the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (b) in case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever
reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately.  Each of the Note Guarantees
shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection.  The Guarantors hereby agree that their
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes
with respect to any provisions of this Indenture and the Notes, the recovery of
any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a Guarantor.  Each Guarantor
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
whatsoever and covenant that the Note Guarantees shall not be discharged except
by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this
Indenture.  As more particularly set
forth in Section 4.13, the Notes shall be guaranteed in the future by each
new Restricted Subsidiary so long as such Restricted Subsidiary is not
prohibited by law from guaranteeing the Notes. 
The Notes also shall be guaranteed in the future as required by
Section 4.14.

 

If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to
the Company or Guarantors, or any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other
similar official acting in relation to either the Company or Guarantors, any amount
paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, these Note Guarantees, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect.  Each Guarantor agrees that it
shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby.

 

Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6
hereof for the purposes of these Note Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in 

 

98

 

respect
of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of these Note
Guarantees.  The Guarantors shall have
the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under these
Note Guarantees.

 

SECTION 10.02.       Limitation of Guarantor’s
Liability.

 

Each
Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each Holder hereof, hereby confirms
that it is its intention that the Note Guarantee by such Guarantor not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy
Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Note
Guarantees.  To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors each hereby irrevocably
agrees that the obligation of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be
limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum
amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor
that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to
contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to any agreement providing for an
equitable contribution among such Guarantor and other Guarantors of payments
made by guarantees by such parties, result in the obligations of such Guarantor
in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance.  Each Holder, by accepting
the benefits hereof, confirms its intention that, in the event of bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding of the Company or any Guarantor in
which concurrent claims are made upon such Guarantor hereunder, to the extent
such claims shall not be fully satisfied, each such claimant with a valid claim
against the Company shall be entitled to a ratable share of all payments by
such Guarantor in respect of such concurrent claims.

 

SECTION 10.03.       Execution and Delivery of
Note Guarantees.

 

To
evidence the Note Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of the Note Guarantees substantially in
the form of Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on
each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

 

Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that the Note Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on
each Note a notation of the Note Guarantees.

 

If
an officer or Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note
Guarantees no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates
the Note on which the Note Guarantees are endorsed, the Note Guarantees shall
be valid nevertheless.

 

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

 

99

 

SECTION 10.04.       Guarantors May Consolidate, etc.,
on Certain Terms.

 

(a)           Except as set forth in Articles
4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes
shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to the Company or to a
Guarantor.

 

(b)           Except as set forth in
Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into a
corporation or corporations other than the Company (whether or not affiliated
with the Guarantor), or successive consolidations or mergers in which a
Guarantor or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall
prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, to a corporation other than the Company (whether
or not affiliated with the Guarantor) authorized to acquire and operate the
same; provided, however,
that such transaction meets all of the following requirements:  (i) either:  (a) such Guarantor is the surviving
corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a
corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any
political subdivision thereof, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or
the jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is organized and under the laws of
which it is existing; (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor), or the Person to which
such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have
been made, assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note
Guarantees and this Indenture, as applicable, pursuant to a supplemental
indenture reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee; and
(iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default
exists.  In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the
successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantees
endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor,
such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the
Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a
Guarantor.  Such successor corporation
thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be
endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee.  All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in
all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the
date of the execution hereof. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing
conditions shall not apply to a Guarantor which is a Subsidiary of the Company
in connection with a transaction as a result of which such Guarantor will be
released from its Note Guarantee as provided in Section 10.05 hereof.

 

SECTION 10.05.       Releases.

 

Concurrently
with any sale of assets (including, if applicable, all of the capital stock of
any Guarantor), any Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent in the assets sold
thereby 

 

100

 

shall
be released; provided that in the event of an
Asset Sale, the Net Proceeds from such sale or other disposition are treated in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07 hereof.

 

The
Note Guarantee or the obligations under Section 10.04 hereof of a
Guarantor that is a subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally
released:

 

(a)           in connection with any sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that
Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation), if the Net Proceeds of
that sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.07
hereof;

 

(b)           in connection with any sale
of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, if the Net Proceeds of that sale
are applied in accordance with Section 4.07 hereof;

 

(c)           upon the designation of such
Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.16 of
this Indenture; and

 

(d)           in connection with a Legal
Defeasence or Covenant Defeasance of this Indenture under Article 8 hereof
or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

Upon
delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the
effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.07
hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to
evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note
Guarantees.  Any Guarantor not released
from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full
amount of principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and for the other
obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

 

SECTION 10.06.       “Trustee” to Include Paying
Agent.

 

In
case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as
used in this Article 10 shall in such case (unless the context shall
otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent
within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this Article 10 in place of the Trustee.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

SECTION 11.01.       Satisfaction and Discharge.

 

This
Indenture, the Security Documents, and the Note Guarantees shall upon the
request of the Company cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly
provided for, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof, and the
Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 11.02 

 

101

 

hereof)
and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
Security Documents, and the Note Guarantees when

 

(a)           either

 

(i)            all outstanding Notes
theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Notes which have
been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided
in Section 2.07 and (B) Notes for whose payment money has been
deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent and thereafter paid to
the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation; or

 

(ii)           all such Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

 

(A)          have become due and payable;

 

(B)           shall become due and payable
at their Stated Maturity within one year; or

 

(C)           are to be called for
redemption within one year under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and
at the expense of the Company,

 

and
the Company, in the case of clause (A), (B) or (C) above, has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust for such purpose money or Government Securities in an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness of such Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case
of Notes which have become due and payable) or the Stated Maturity or
redemption date;

 

(b)           the Company has paid or
caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable hereunder by the Company;
and

 

(c)           the Company has delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

 

Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Company’s obligations in
Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.11, 7.07, 7.08, and 13.02, 13.03 and 13.04,
and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 11.02 shall
survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding.  Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in
Section 7.07 shall survive.

 

In
order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal (and premium,
if any, on) or interest on the Notes, the Government Securities shall be
payable as to principal (and premium, if any) or interest at least one Business
Day before such payment date in 

 

102

 

such
amounts as shall provide the necessary money. 
Government Securities shall not be callable at the Company’s option.

 

SECTION 11.02.       Application of Trust.

 

All
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held
in trust and, at the written direction of the Company, be invested prior to
maturity in U.S. Government Obligations, and applied by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and
interest for the payment of which money has been deposited with the Trustee;
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

SECURITY

 

SECTION 12.01.       Security Documents.

 

In
order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Second Lien Obligations,
the Company, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent and the other parties thereto
have simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture entered into or, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.13, Section 4.19 and this
Article 12, will enter into the Security Documents.  In the event of a conflict between the terms
of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement
shall control.

 

SECTION 12.02.       Recording, Registration and
Opinions.

 

(a)           The Company and the
Guarantors will not be required to comply with all or any portion of Section 314(d) of
the TIA if they determine, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under
the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance of the SEC and
its staff as to the meaning thereof, including “no action letters” or exemptive
orders, all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the TIA is
inapplicable to the released Collateral. 
For the avoidance of doubt, if this Indenture is not qualified under the
TIA, the Company shall not be required to comply with § 314(d) of the
TIA.  Following qualification of the
Indenture pursuant to the TIA, the Company shall comply with TIA Section 313(b),
if applicable.

 

(b)           Any release of Collateral
permitted or required by Section 12.03 hereof or the Security Documents
will be deemed not to impair the Liens under this Indenture and the Security
Documents in contravention thereof and any Person that is required to deliver a
certificate or opinion pursuant to Section 314(d) of the TIA or
otherwise under this Indenture or the Security Documents, shall be entitled to
rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or
opinion.  The Trustee may, to the extent
permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of
compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained
in such documents and opinion.

 

103

 

SECTION 12.03.       Releases of Collateral.

 

The Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees
will, automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person,
be released:

 

(a)           in whole or in part, with the consent of the requisite
Holders in accordance with Article 9, including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes:

 

(b)           in whole, upon:

 

(i)            discharge of this Indenture under Section 11.01
hereof;

 

(ii)           a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this
Indenture under Article 8 hereof; or

 

(iii)          payment in full of outstanding principal, accrued and
unpaid interest and all other Obligations on the Notes issued under this
Indenture;

 

(c)           in part, as to any asset constituting Collateral

 

(i)            that is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company or
any of the Guarantors (other than any such sale to the Company or a Guarantor)
in a transaction permitted under Section 4.07 and the Security Documents
(to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of) or otherwise permitted by
this Indenture and the Security Documents, if all other Liens on that asset
securing the First Lien Obligations and any Permitted Additional Pari Passu
Obligations then secured by that asset are released;

 

(ii)           that is cash withdrawn from deposit accounts or securities
accounts for any purpose not prohibited under this Indenture or the Security
Documents;

 

(iii)          that is Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of the Parent Company
to the extent necessary for such Subsidiary not to be subject to any
requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 or Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X
under the Exchange Act, due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock
secures the Notes or the Note Guarantees, to file separate financial statements
with the SEC (or any other governmental agency);

 

(iv)          that is used to make a Restricted Payment or Permitted
Investment permitted by this Indenture;

 

(v)           that becomes Excluded Property (as defined in the Security
Agreement) or Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement); or

 

(vi)          that is otherwise released in accordance with, and as
expressly provided for in accordance with, this Indenture or the Security
Documents.

 

104

 

SECTION 12.04.       Form and Sufficiency of Release.

 

In
the event that either the Company or any Guarantor has sold, exchanged, or
otherwise disposed of or proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any
portion of the Collateral that, under the terms of this Indenture, may be sold,
exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantor, and the
Company or such Guarantor requests the Trustee to furnish a written disclaimer,
release or quitclaim of any interest in such property under this Indenture, the
applicable Note Guarantee and the Security Documents, upon receipt of an
Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release
complies with Section 12.03 and specifying the provision in Section 12.03
pursuant to which such release is being made (upon which the Trustee may
exclusively and conclusively rely), the Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company or such Guarantor (or instruct the Collateral Agent to
do the same) such an instrument in the form provided by the Company, and
providing for release without recourse and shall take such other action as the
Company or such Guarantor may reasonably request and as necessary to effect
such release at the expense of the Company and the Guarantors.  Before executing, acknowledging or delivering
any such instrument, the Trustee shall be furnished with an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (on which the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively and exclusively rely) each stating that such release is
authorized and permitted by the terms hereof and the Security Documents and

11.625% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2017

 

Capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
dated as of April 7, 2010, among SquareTwo Financial Corporation (the “Company”),
the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (as amended and supplemented from
time to time, the “Indenture”) unless otherwise indicated.

 

1.             Interest.  SquareTwo Financial Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Note at 11.625% per annum from April 7, 2010 until maturity.  The Company will pay interest and Additional
Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1
of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). 
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
original issuance; provided that
if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note 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 October 1,
2010.  The Company shall pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law)
on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time at the interest
rate on this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in
any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from
time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.  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 Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who
are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 15
or September 15, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest
Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with
respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes
will be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and
interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check
mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders,
and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will
be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional
Interest on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall
have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.  Such payment shall 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.

 

Any
payments of principal of and interest on this Note prior to Stated Maturity
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration 

 

A-6

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon.  The amount due and payable at
the maturity of this Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender
of this Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for
such purposes.

 

3.             Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, U.S. Bank National Association,
the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without notice to any Holder. 
The Company or any of the Guarantors may act in any such capacity.

 

4.             Indenture.  The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of April 7, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee.  This
Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as
its 11.625% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2017, which may be issued under the
Indenture.  The Company shall be entitled
to issue Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture.  The Notes and any Additional Notes issued in
accordance with the Indenture are treated as a single class of securities under
the Indenture unless otherwise specified. 
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). 
The Notes 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 Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the

Additional Notes, if any) at a redemption price of 111.625% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not
including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided that:

 

(i)            at least 65% of such aggregate
principal amount of the Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately
after the occurrence of such redemption (other than Notes held directly or indirectly
by the Parent Company, the Company and its Subsidiaries); and

 

(ii)           each such redemption must occur
within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

 

(d)             Any such
redemption pursuant to this Paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the
applicable provisions of Article 3 of the Indenture.

 

6.             Mandatory Redemption.  Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the
Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with
respect to the Notes.

 

7.             Repurchase At Option of Holder.

 

(a)           If there is a Change of Control, each
Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or
any part (equal to $2,000 or a $1,000 integral multiple thereof (provided, that no Notes will be purchased in part if such
Note would have a remaining principal amount of less than $2,000)) of each
Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change
of Control Payment”).  Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder
setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required
by the Indenture.

 

(b)           If the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries consummate an Asset Sale offer, the Company shall, if
required by Section 4.07 of the Indenture, promptly commence an offer to
all Holders of Notes (an “Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the
Indenture to purchase 

 

A-8

 

the
maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Net Proceeds
at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if
any, to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture.  If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company
shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in
denominations of $2,000, or $1,000 integral multiples thereof, shall be
purchased).  Holders of Notes that are
the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Offer from the Company at
least twenty Business Days prior to any related purchase date and may elect to
have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes.

 

8.             Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed by first class mail to its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may
be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the
Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. 
On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

 

9.             Denominations, Transfer,
Exchange.  The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.  The transfer of
Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the
Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes
and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, it need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of
redemption or during the period between a record date and the corresponding
Interest Payment Date.

 

10.           Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

11.           Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture,
the Security Documents, the Note Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or
supplemented, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture, the Security Documents, the Note Guarantees and the Notes may be
waived, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Security
Documents, the Note Guarantees, and the Notes may be amended or supplemented,
among other matters, to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to
Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the
Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of
any such Holder, or to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to
effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.

 

A-9

 

12.                                 Defaults and
Remedies.  Events of
Default include:  (i) default for 30
days in the payment when due of interest on or Additional Interest, with
respect to the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of
or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under
Sections 4.06, 4.07 or 5.01 of the Indenture; provided, that in the case of Section 4.07,
such failure has not been cured within 30 days; (iv) failure by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with any other
agreements in the Indenture for 60 days (or 90 days in the case of Section 4.18
of the Indenture) after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (v) default
(after giving effect to any waivers, amendments, grace periods or extensions of
any maturity date) 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 date of the Indenture, which default (a) is caused
by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such
Indebtedness after 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 (c) 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 $20.0 million or
more; (vi) the failure by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of
$20.0 million (not covered by insurance policies or credit-worthy third party
indemnity under which the insurer or indemnifying party has not denied coverage
or liability, as applicable), which judgments are not paid, waived, discharged
or stayed within 60 days following entry of judgment; (vii) except as
permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary
that is a Significant Subsidiary or of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, 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 Note Guarantee; (viii) certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as
a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and (ix) (1) with
respect to any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of
$10.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, (a) any default or
breach by the Company or any Guarantor in the performance of its obligations
under the Security Documents or the Indenture which adversely affects in any
material respect the condition or value of the Collateral or the
enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Second Priority Liens,
taken as a whole, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60
days after written notice thereof by the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes, or (b) any security interest
created under the Security Documents or under the Indenture is declared invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (2) the Company
or any Guarantor asserts, in any pleading in any court of competent
jurisdiction, that any security interest in any Collateral is invalid or
unenforceable.  If any Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be
due and payable.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, any Restricted

 

A-10

 

Subsidiary
constituting a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or
notice.  Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest.

 

The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under
the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. 
The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement
regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon
becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a
statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

 

13.                                 Trustee
Dealings with Company.  The
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the
Trustee.

 

14.                                 No Recourse
Against Others.  A director,
officer, employee, member, manager, incorporator or stockholder of the Company
or the Guarantors, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees,
or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation.  Each Holder by accepting
a Note waives and releases all such liability. 
The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of
the Notes.

 

15.                                 Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating
agent.

 

16.                                 Abbreviations.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the
name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:

TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common),
CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 

17.                                 Additional
Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.  In addition to the rights provided to Holders
of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of April 7, 2010, among the Company, the Guarantors and
the parties named on the signature pages thereof (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”).

 

18.                                 CUSIP Numbers.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP
numbers in notices of redemption

 

A-11

a convenience to Holders.  No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on

without complying with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act, (b) the date on which such Initial Security has been effectively
registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with a Shelf
Registration Statement , (c) the date on which such Initial Security is
distributed to the public by a Broker-Dealer pursuant to the “Plan of
Distribution” contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(including delivery of the Prospectus contained therein) and (d) the later
of (x) the date which is two years after the date the Initial Securities
were originally issued and (y) the date upon which such Initial Security
(and the related Guarantees) has been resold in compliance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act; provided that
such Initial Security no longer bears any restrictive legend relating to the
Securities Act and does not bear a restricted CUSIP number.

 

Trust Indenture Act:  The
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

 

Underwritten Registration or
Underwritten Offering:  A registration in which securities of the Company are sold to an
underwriter for reoffering to the public.

 

SECTION 2.              Securities Subject to this Agreement.

 

(a)           Transfer Restricted Securities.  The securities entitled to the benefits of this Agreement are the
Transfer Restricted Securities.

 

(b)           Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities.  A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “Holder”)
whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

 

SECTION 3.              Registered Exchange Offer.

 

(a)           Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law
or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof
have been complied 

 

3

 

with), each of the Company
and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause
to be filed with the Commission a Registration Statement under the Securities
Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) cause
such Registration Statement to become effective, (iii) in connection with
the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Registration
Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to
become effective, (B) if applicable, file a post-effective amendment to
such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act
and (C) cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration
and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the state
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit
Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of
such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer shall be on the
appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be
offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit
resales of Initial Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof.

 

(b)           The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to be effective continuously 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 after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is
mailed to the Holders.  The Company shall
cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws.  No securities other
than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement.  The Company and
the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer to be Consummated by no later than 365 days after the Closing
Date (or if such 365th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day).

 

(c)           The Company shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained
in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
that any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Securities that are Transfer
Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer
Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such
Initial Securities 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 any resales of the Exchange Securities
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” section shall
also contain all other information with respect to such resales by
Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales
pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such
Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities 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.

 

Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented and 

 

4

 

amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof
to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial
Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, 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 ending on the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date
on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the
date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in
connection with market-making or other trading activities.

 

The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the
latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at
any time during such 90-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence)
period in order to facilitate such resales.

 

SECTION 4.              Shelf Registration.

 

(a)           Shelf Registration.  If (i) the Company is 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) hereof have been complied with),
(ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated within 365 days
after the Closing Date (or if such 365th day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day), or (iii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities (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 Securities acquired by it in the Exchange
Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus (other than by reason of
such Holder’s status as an Affiliate of the Company) 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 Securities acquired directly from the Company
or one of its affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request prior to the 30th
day following the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated, the Company
and the Guarantors shall:

 

(x)            cause
to be filed 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 earliest to occur of (1) the 60th day after the date on which the
Company determines that it is not required to file the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and (2) the 60th day after the date on which the
Company receives notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as
contemplated by clause (ii) above, (or if such 60th day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (such 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; provided, that
in no event shall the Company or Guarantors be required to file a Shelf
Registration Statement prior to the date that is 365 days  following the Closing Date; and

 

(y)           use
their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 60th day
after the 

 

5

 

Shelf Filing Date (or if such 60th day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day).

 

Subject to the next paragraph, each of the Company and
the Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as
required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the
extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial
Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities 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 following the effective date of such Shelf Registration
Statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Initial
Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant
to such Shelf Registration Statement or otherwise cease to be Transfer
Restricted Securities).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Company may suspend the use of the Prospectus included in any
Shelf Registration Statement in the event that, and for a period of time not to
exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any calendar year (such period being the “Shelf
Suspension Period”), if the Company notifies the Holder to suspend use (on one
or more occasions) of such Prospectus because the Board of Directors of the
Company has determined reasonably and in good faith that the filing of any such
initial Shelf Registration Statement or the continuing effectiveness thereof
would require the disclosure of material non-public information that, in the
reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, would be
detrimental to the Company if so disclosed or would otherwise materially
adversely affect a financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other
material transaction or such action is required by applicable law, provided that in no event shall the Company be required to
publicly disclose the business purpose for such suspension.

 

(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 in writing,
within 20 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
or amendment or supplement thereto.  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.

 

SECTION 5.              Additional Interest.  If (i) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 365
Business Days after the Closing Date or (ii) any Registration Statement
required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter
cease to be effective (other than pursuant to a Shelf Suspension Period) or
fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately
by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a prospectus
supplement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared
effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (ii), a “Registration
Default”), 

 

6

 

the Company hereby agrees
that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be
increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the
occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at
the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase
exceed 1.00% per annum.  Following the
earlier of (y) the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any
particular Transfer Restricted Securities and (z) the date on which such
Transfer Restricted Securities cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, the
interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be
reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted
Securities; provided, however,
that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration
Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted
Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions as
though no such prior Registration Default had occurred.  Any amounts payable under this paragraph
shall also be deemed “Additional Interest” for purposes of this Agreement.

 

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.

 

SECTION 6.              Registration Procedures.

 

(a)           Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the
Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof,
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to Consummate the Exchange
Offer, and shall comply with all of the following provisions:

 

(i)            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
Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the
Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business.  In addition, all such Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall otherwise 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 Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (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 (which may
include 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 

 

7

 

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 Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for
Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company.

 

(b)           Shelf Registration Statement.  In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, each of the Company
and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration
to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold thereunder,
and pursuant thereto each of the Company and the Guarantors will 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.

 

(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 limitation, any Registration Statement and the
related Prospectus required to permit resales of Initial Securities by
Broker-Dealers), each of the Company and the Guarantors shall:

 

(i)            use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective (other than in connection with a Shelf Suspension
Period) and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if required
by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the
Guarantors for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, 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 shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such
Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such
misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B),
use its commercially reasonable 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)           prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective
amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep
the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3
or 4 hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been
sold; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under
the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424
and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the
sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the
Prospectus;

 

8

 

(iii)          if (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 4
hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act to a Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes
during the applicable period relating thereto, the Company shall promptly
advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders named in any Shelf
Registration Statement or each such Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and, if
requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment 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, and (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, 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 not
misleading.  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 order suspending the qualification or exemption from
qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or
blue sky laws, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such
order at the earliest practicable time;

 

(iv)          furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each selling
Holder named in any Shelf Registration Statement, and each of the
underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Shelf
Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or
supplements to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Shelf
Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and
comment of such Holders and underwriter(s) in connection with such sale,
if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company will not
file any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
all such documents incorporated by reference) to which an Initial Purchaser of
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement or
the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing within five
Business Days after the receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely
made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such period).  The objection of an Initial Purchaser or
underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Shelf
Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as
proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission;

 

9

 

(v)           make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Initial
Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any
disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney or
accountant retained by such Initial Purchasers or any of the underwriter(s),
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
of each of the Company and the Guarantors and cause the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Initial Purchaser, underwriter, attorney or
accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to
its effectiveness and to participate in meetings with investors to the extent
requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any; provided,
that such Persons shall first agree that any information that is designated in
writing by the Company in good faith as confidential at the time of delivery of
such information shall be kept confidential by such Persons and that pricing or
other information related to the purchase of charged-off receivables shall not
be used for any purpose unrelated to the Shelf Registration Statement, unless (i) disclosure
of such information is required by a court or administrative order or is
necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure
of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements
pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of any Shelf
Registration statement or the use of any prospectus referred to in this
agreement), (iii) such information becomes generally available to the
public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any
such Person, or (iv) such information becomes available to any such Person
from a source other than the Company and such source is not known to such
Person to be bound by a confidentiality agreement;

 

(vi)          if requested by any selling Holders named in any Shelf Registration
Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Shelf
Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or
post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders
and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein,
including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of
Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect
to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such
underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of
the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering;
and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters
to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

 

(vii)         use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be rated with the
appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Securities covered thereby or the underwriter(s),
if any;

 

(viii)        upon
request, furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each of the
underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf
Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each
amendment thereto,

 

10

 

excluding
all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits that are
publicly available;

 

(ix)           deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any,
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary
prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably
may request; each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby consents to the use
of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the
selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the
offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

 

(x)            take all such other commercially reasonable actions in connection
therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, all to such
extent as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of the Transfer Restricted
Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any
Shelf Registration Statement; in the case of an Underwritten Registration, each
of the Company and the Guarantors shall:

 

(A)          enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and
make such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in
connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement
contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be reasonably
requested by any Initial Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any
Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and whether or not
an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration
is an Underwritten Registration, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall:

 

(B)           furnish to each Initial Purchaser and each underwriter, if any, in such
substance and scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made
by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

 

(1)           a certificate, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement, signed by (y) the President or any Vice President and (z) a
principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and the
Guarantors, addressing, as of the date thereof, substantially similar matters
as set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(e) of
the Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably
request;

 

(2)           an opinion, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement, of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, covering such
customary matters as such parties may reasonably request, and in any event
including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in
conferences with officers and other representatives of the 

 

11

 

Company
and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent public accountants for
the Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the underwriter(s), if any,
and counsel to the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the preparation
of such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have
considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements
contained therein, although such counsel has not independently verified the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel
advises that, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts came to such counsel’s
attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Shelf
Registration Statement, at the time such Shelf Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto became effective, contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
that the Prospectus contained in such Shelf Registration Statement as of its
date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading.  Without limiting the
foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no
responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and
other financial data included in any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated
by this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and

 

(3)           a customary comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the
customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to be
covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings;

 

(C)           set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting
agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions and procedures of Section 8
hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section;
and

 

(D)          deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably
requested by such parties to evidence compliance with Section 6(c)(x)(A) hereof
and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or
other agreement entered into by the Company or any of the Guarantors pursuant
to this Section 6(c)(x), if any.

 

If at any time while the Shelf Registration
Statement is required to be effective pursuant to Section 4, the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contemplated
in Section 6(c)(x)(B)(1) hereof cease to be true and correct in all
material respects, the Company or the Guarantors shall so advise the Initial
Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and if requested by such Persons,
shall confirm such advice in writing;

 

12

 

(xi)           prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their
respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the
Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of
such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, may
request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
however, that none of the Company or the Guarantors shall be
required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then
so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of
process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions
relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject;

 

(xii)          shall, subject to the terms of the Indenture, issue, upon the request of
any Holder of Initial Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement,
Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of Initial Securities surrendered to the Company by such
Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange
Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the
purchaser(s) of such Securities, as the case may be; in return, the
Initial Securities held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for
cancellation;

 

(xiii)         subject to the terms of the Indenture, cooperate with the selling
Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be
sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer
Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names
as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business
Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such Holders
or underwriter(s);

 

(xiv)        use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved
by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to
enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to
consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to
the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xii) hereof;

 

(xv)         if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof
shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities,
the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein
not misleading;

 

(xvi)        provide
a CUSIP number for all Securities not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement covering such Securities and provide the Trustee under
the Indenture with printed certificates for such Securities which are in a form
eligible for 

 

13

 

deposit
with the Depository Trust Company and take all other action necessary to ensure
that all such Securities are eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust
Company;

 

(xvii)       cooperate
and assist in any filings required to be made with the FINRA and in the
performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including
any “qualified independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the FINRA;

 

(xviii)      otherwise
use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security
holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the
requirements of Rule 158 of the Securities Act (which need not be audited)
for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal
quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a
firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold
to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the
Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the
Registration Statement;

 

(xix)         cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not
later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by
this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and
the Holders of Securities to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be
required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of
the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to
effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with
the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;
and

 

(xx)          provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed with
the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15
of the Exchange Act to the extent not publicly available.

 

Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer
Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof,
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”)
by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus.  If so
directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted
Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice.  In the event the Company shall give any such
notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be
extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of
the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to
and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration
Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) 

 

14

 

hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension
shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest is due
pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Additional Interest, it
being agreed that the Company’s option to suspend use of a Registration
Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default
for purposes of Section 5 hereof. 
Each Holder shall hold in confidence the fact that it has received
notice pursuant to this Section and any communication related thereto.

 

SECTION 7.              Registration Expenses.

 

(a)           All expenses incident to the Company’s and the Guarantors’ performance
of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company and the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, regardless of whether a Registration
Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all
registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any
Initial Purchaser or Holder with the FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and
expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be
required by the rules and regulations of the FINRA)); (ii) all fees
and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue
sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates
for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of
Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the Guarantors and, subject
to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities; and (v) all fees and disbursements of independent certified
public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (including the expenses of
any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such
performance).

 

Each of the Company and the Guarantors will, in any
event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries
and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting
duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any
Person, including special experts, retained by the Company or the Guarantors.

 

(b)           In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and
the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold
pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more
than one counsel, who shall be Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP or such
other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration
Statement is being prepared.

 

SECTION 8.              Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if
any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred
to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling
person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners,
employees, representatives and agents of any Holder 

 

15

 

or any controlling person
(any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter
be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses
(including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all
reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising,
paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or
several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out
of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing
to the Company by any of the Holders expressly for use therein.  This indemnity agreement shall be in addition
to any liability which the Company or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have.

 

In case any action or proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or
asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity
may be sought against the Company or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder
(or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall
promptly notify the Company and the Guarantors in writing; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any
of the Company or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement.  Such Indemnified Holder shall
have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Company and the
Guarantors (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an
Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).  The Company and the Guarantors shall not, in
connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially
similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to
any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall
be designated by the Holders.  The
Company and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such
action or proceeding effected with the Company’s and the Guarantors’ prior
written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of
the Company and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written
consent of the Company and the Guarantors. 
The Company and the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written
consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened
action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is
a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination
includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability
arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding.

 

(b)           Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and their
respective directors,

 

16

 

officers of the Company and
the Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act) the Company or any of the Guarantors, and the respective
officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each
such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and
the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to
claims and actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in
writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement.  In case any action or proceeding shall be
brought against the Company, the Guarantors or their respective directors or
officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall
have the rights and duties given the Company and the Guarantors, and the
Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and such
controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the
preceding paragraph.

 

(c)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof
(other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses
referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the
case of the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total
gross proceeds to the Company and the Guarantors from the Initial Placement),
the amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of
the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration
Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the
relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and of the Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the
second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim.

 

The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph.  The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses referred to in the

 

17

 

immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other
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,
none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to
contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities
exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such 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
pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the
respective principal amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders
hereunder and not joint.

 

SECTION 9.              Rule 144A.  Each of the
Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any
Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, 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 under the Securities Act, unless the
Company has become subject to Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act and
such information is publicly available.

 

SECTION 10.            Participation in Underwritten Registrations.  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.

 

SECTION 11.            [Reserved].

 

SECTION 12.            Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Remedies.  Each of the
Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it 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)           No Inconsistent Agreements.  Each of the
Company and the Guarantors will not 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 of the Guarantors has previously entered into any agreement
granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any
Person.  The rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with
the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s or any of the Guarantors’
securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

 

18

 

(c)           Adjustments Affecting the Securities. 
The Company will not take any action, or permit
any change to occur, with respect to the Securities that would materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer.

 

(d)           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 the Company has (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders
of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of
all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a
majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or
its Affiliates).  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; provided, however,
that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights
of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written
consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment,
qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.

 

(e)           Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder
