     INDENTURE, dated as of November 13, 2009, among AMBASSADORS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the
“Company”), having its principal office at 2101 4th Avenue, Suite 210, Seattle, Washington
98121, each of the SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS (as hereinafter defined), and WILMINGTON TRUST FSB, as
trustee (herein called the “Trustee”).

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS

     The Company has duly authorized the creation of an issue of its 10% Senior Secured Notes due
2012 (the “Securities”) of substantially the tenor hereinafter set forth, and to provide
therefor the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture.

     The Company, directly or indirectly, owns beneficially and of record 100% of the Capital Stock
of the Subsidiary Guarantors; the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are members of the same
consolidated group of companies; the Subsidiary Guarantors will derive direct and indirect economic
benefit from the issuance of the Securities; accordingly, the Subsidiary Guarantors have each duly
authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the Guarantee by each of
them with respect to the Securities as set forth in this Indenture.

     All things necessary to make the Securities, when executed by the Company and authenticated
and delivered hereunder by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company, to make the
Subsidiary Guarantees of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, when executed by the respective
Subsidiary Guarantors and endorsed on the Securities, authenticated and delivered hereunder, the
valid obligations of the respective Subsidiary Guarantors, and to make this Indenture a valid
agreement of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, in accordance with their and its
terms, have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

     For and in consideration of the foregoing and the purchase of the Securities by the Holders
thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all
Holders of the Securities, as follows:

Article I

Definitions and Other Provisions

of General Application

     Section 101. Definitions.

     For all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the
context otherwise requires:

     (1) the terms defined in this Article have the meanings assigned to them in this Article and
include the plural as well as the singular;

 

 

     (2) all other terms used herein which are defined in the Trust Indenture Act, either directly
or by reference therein, have the meanings assigned to them therein;

     (3) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (whether or not such is indicated herein),
and, except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the term generally accepted accounting
principles with respect to any computation required or permitted hereunder shall mean such
accounting principles as are generally accepted as consistently applied by the Company at the date
of such computation;

     (4) unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, all calculations or determinations of a
Person shall be performed or made on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles but shall not include the accounts of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, except to
the extent of dividends and distributions actually paid to the Company or one of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; and

     (5) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to
this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

     Certain terms, used principally in Article VI, are defined in that Article.

     “Act”, when used with respect to any Holder, has the meaning specified in Section 104.

     “Affiliate” of any Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such Person. For the purposes of
this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the
management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” will have
meanings correlative to the foregoing.

     “Asset Disposition” by any Person means any transfer, conveyance, sale, capital lease
or other disposition by such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including a
consolidation or merger or other sale of any such Restricted Subsidiary with, into or to another
Person in a transaction in which such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary,
but excluding a disposition by a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person to such Person or a Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary of such Person or by such Person to a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of such Person) of (i) substantially all of the assets of such Person or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries representing a division or line of business or (ii) other assets or rights
of such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries outside of the ordinary course of business;
provided, however, that the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be
governed by Section 1017 and Section 801 and not by Section 1015 and sales, issuances and other
dispositions of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries will be governed by Section 1016 and not
by Section 1015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not be deemed to be an Asset
Disposition: (1) any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets or
rights having a fair market value of less than $250,000; (2) any disposition of assets of, or
equity interests in, or any arrangement for the assignment and assumption of rights, liabilities
and assets

2

 

of, Cypress Reinsurance, Ltd; (3) the sale of the Queen of the West on the terms described in
the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 17, 2009, as such
terms may be amended prior to the completion of such sale; (4) a transfer of assets or rights
between or among the Company and its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; (5) a Sale and Leaseback
Transaction that complies with Section 1013; (6) the sale or other disposition of cash or cash
equivalents; (7) a Restricted Payment that is permitted by Section 1010; (8) the sale or
disposition of any assets or property received as a result of a foreclosure by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any secured Investment or any other transfer of title with
respect to any secured Investment in default; (9) the Incurrence of Permitted Liens; and (10) the
grant of any license of patents, trademarks, registrations therefor and other similar intellectual
property in the ordinary course of business or any surrender, waiver, release or settlement of any
litigation rights.

     “Attributable Value” means, as to any particular lease under which any Person is at
the time liable other than a Capital Lease Obligation, and at any date as of which the amount
thereof is to be determined, the total net amount of rent required to be paid by such Person under
such lease during the initial term thereof as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, discounted from the last date of such initial term to the date of
determination at a rate per annum equal to the discount rate which would be applicable to a Capital
Lease Obligation with like terms in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
net amount of rent required to be paid under any such lease for any such period will be the
aggregate amount of rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period after excluding amounts
required to be paid on account of insurance, taxes, assessments, utility, operating and labor costs
and similar charges. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment
of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the lesser of the amount of such penalty (in which
case no rent will be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first
date upon which it may be so terminated) or the rent which would otherwise be required to be paid
if such lease is not so terminated. “Attributable Value” means, as to a Capital Lease Obligation
under which any Person is at the time liable and at any date as of which the amount thereof is to
be determined, the capitalized amount thereof that would appear on the face of a balance sheet of
such Person in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     “Authenticating Agent” means the Trustee or any Person authorized by the Trustee to
act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities.

     “Board of Directors” means either the board of directors of the Company or any duly
authorized committee of such board of directors.

     “Board Resolution” means a copy of a resolution certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in
full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to the Trustee.

     “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not
a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.

3

 

     “Capital Expenditures” means, for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in
respect of any period, the aggregate of all expenditures incurred by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries during such period that, in accordance with GAAP and consistent with past practice,
are or should be included in the line item “purchases of property, vessels and equipment” in a
consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
provided, however, that the following will not be deemed to be Capital
Expenditures: (i) expenditures with proceeds of insurance settlements, condemnation awards and
other settlements in respect of lost, destroyed, damaged or condemned assets, equipment or other
property to the extent such expenditures are made to replace or repair such lost, destroyed,
damaged or condemned assets, equipment or other property or otherwise to acquire, maintain,
develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair assets or properties useful in the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries (1) made within six months of receipt of such proceeds or (2)
committed to be made within six months of receipt of such proceeds and then actually made within 12
months of receipt of such proceeds, (ii) expenditures that are accounted for as capital
expenditures of such Person and that actually are paid for by a third party (excluding the Company
or any Subsidiary) and for which neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has provided or is required
to provide or incur, directly or indirectly, any consideration or obligation to such third party or
any other Person (whether before, during or after such period); (iii) the book value of any asset
owned by such Person prior to or during such period to the extent that such book value is included
as a capital expenditure during such period as a result of such Person reusing or beginning to
reuse such asset during such period without a corresponding expenditure actually having been made
in such period; provided that (1) any expenditure necessary in order to permit such asset
to be reused shall be included as a Capital Expenditure during the period that such expenditure
actually is made and (2) such book value shall have been included in Capital Expenditures when such
asset was originally acquired; or (iv) the purchase price of equipment purchased during such period
to the extent the consideration therefor consists of any combination of (1) used or surplus
equipment traded in at the time of such purchase and (2) the proceeds of a concurrent sale of used
or surplus equipment, in each case, in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt,
expenditures incurred for normal maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of
the respective assets when incurred are not included in the definition of Capital Expenditures.

     “Capital Lease Obligation” of any Person means the obligation to pay rent or other

     (a) a statement that each Person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or

or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent
duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company
copies of all such instruments delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient

18

 

for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as
the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any
action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company prior
to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the
case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the
30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided
pursuant to Section 701) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard
to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be
entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action. With regard to any record date, the
Holders of Outstanding Securities on such date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies), and
only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take, or vote upon, the relevant action, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.

     (d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

     (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company
in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

     Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company, and Subsidiary Guarantors.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or
filed with:

     (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at Wilmington Trust FSB, c/o Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney
Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19890-1615, Facsimile: (302) 636-4145,
Attention: Corporate Capital Markets, or

     (b) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in

19

 

writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or faxed, in the case of the Company, to it, as
applicable, at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this
instrument or at fax number (206) 340-0975 or at any other address or fax number previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, and, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor,
to it, as applicable, at the address of the Company’s principal office specified in the first
paragraph of this instrument or at the fax number of the Company specified above in this Section
105(b) or at any other address or fax number previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by such

     Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in
the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest
date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with
the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

     Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture
Act that is required under such Act to be part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision
shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

     Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1304.

     Section 110. Severability Clause.

     In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 111. Benefits of Indenture.

     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any
benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     Section 112. Governing Law.

     This Indenture, the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (other than
principles of conflicts of law to the extent that application of the laws of a jurisdiction other
than the State of New York would be required thereby).

     Section 113. Legal Holidays.

     In any case when any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Stated Maturity
of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but
may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Purchase Date, or at the Stated Maturity,
provided that, to the extent such payment is so made on such next succeeding Business Day,
no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

     Section 114. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

     This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture or agreement of the Company or
its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture or agreement may not be used to
interpret this Indenture.

     Section 115. Counterpart Originals.

     The parties may sign any number of copies or counterparts of this Indenture. Each signed copy

     Ambassadors International, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under
the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                     or registered assigns, the principal sum of                      Dollars [plus any

until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, and (to the extent that the

overdue principal, if any, and on any overdue installment of interest until paid. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided
in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Interest Record Date for such interest,

registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, notice whereof shall be given

     Section 203. Form of Reverse of Security.

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its
10.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (herein called the “Securities”), limited to
$26,500,000 (plus (i) the principal amount of any PIK Securities issued in payment of Interest
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, (ii) the principal amount of any additional Securities
issued from time to time in exchange for Old Securities, and (iii) the principal amount of any
additional Securities issued pursuant to Section 1022 of the Indenture) issued and to be issued
under an Indenture, dated as of November 13, 2009 (herein called the “Indenture”), among
the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and Wilmington Trust FSB, as Trustee (herein
called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which
the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

     The Securities are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time prior to Maturity, as a
whole or in part, in the amounts of $100 or an integral multiple of $100 at a Redemption Price
equal to 100% of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption with accrued
interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

     The Securities do not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligations.

     In the event of redemption or purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase of this Security in
part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed or unpurchased portion hereof will be
issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     The Indenture provides that, subject to certain conditions, if (i) a Change of Control occurs,
or (ii) certain Net Available Proceeds are available to the Company as a result of Asset
Dispositions, the Company shall be required to make an Offer to Purchase for all or a specified
portion of the Securities.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
obligations of the Company under this Security are guaranteed pursuant to Subsidiary Guarantees
endorsed hereon and as provided in the Indenture. Each Holder, by holding this Security, agrees to
all of the terms and provisions of said Guarantees. The Indenture provides that a Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be released from its Subsidiary Guarantee upon compliance with certain conditions.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of
this Security or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this
Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein.

26

 

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the
Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

     The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Securities are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provisions of this Security conflict with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in The Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York or Wilmington, Delaware, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed
by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities and PIK Securities are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons
in denominations of $100 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner or stockholder, past,
present or future, of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the

27

 

Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security
waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the Securities.

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

     Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

     The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York.

GUARANTEE

     For value received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors listed below hereby jointly and
severally unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is
endorsed, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the
principal of and interest on such Security when and as the same shall become due and payable,
whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise,
according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of
the Company punctually to make any such payment, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly
and severally agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same

 

			
	4	 	This schedule should be included only if the Security
is issued in global form.

29

 

shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, call for
redemption, purchase or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

     Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees that its obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of
such Security or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, or any release or
amendment or waiver of any term of any other Guarantee of, or any consent to departure from any
requirement of any other Guarantee of all or of any of the Securities, the election by the Trustee
or any of the Holders in any proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§
101-1330, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Company, as
debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, the disallowance, under Section 502
of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Trustee or any of the Holders
for payment of any of the Securities, any variation or modification of such Security or of the
Indenture, the obtaining of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waives the benefits of diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders protect,
secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other Lien on any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, 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 or notice with respect to such Security or the Debt evidenced
thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be
discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in this
Subsidiary Guarantee or release therefrom pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. Each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or
interest on such Security, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption,
purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the
Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly
against each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Subsidiary Guarantee without first
proceeding against the Company. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by
applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the
Securities, to collect interest on the Securities, or to enforce or exercise any other right or
remedy with respect to the Securities, such Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to pay to the Trustee for
the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and
payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the
Holders.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor, which is
absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the
Security upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of this Security
against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor on account of this
Security pursuant to the provisions of this Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture;
provided,

30

 

however, that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive
any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and
interest on this Security and all other Securities issued under the Indenture shall have been paid
in full.

     This Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should
the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a
receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities is, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on
the Securities, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as
though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned.

     No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner or stockholder, past,
present or future, of any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any
obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Securities, this Indenture, the Subsidiary
Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.
This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

     The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying
Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under this Subsidiary Guarantee.

     The Subsidiary Guarantors or any particular Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from this
Subsidiary Guarantee upon the terms and subject to certain conditions provided in the Indenture.

     By delivery of a Supplemental Indenture to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, each Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the date of the Indenture will be
deemed to have executed and delivered this Subsidiary Guarantee for the benefit of the Holder of
this Security with the same effect as if such Subsidiary Guarantor was named below. All terms used
in this Subsidiary Guarantee which are defined in the Indenture referred to in the Security upon
which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed shall have the meanings assigned to them in such
Indenture.

     This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the
certificate of authentication on the Security upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed
shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture by manual signature.

     Reference is made to Article XIII of the Indenture for further provisions with respect to this
Subsidiary Guarantee.

31

 

     THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has caused this Subsidiary Guarantee to
be duly executed.

Article III

The Securities

     Section 301. Title and Terms.

     The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under
this Indenture is limited to $26,500,000 (plus (i) the principal amount of any PIK Securities
issued in payment of interest pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the principal amount of any
additional Securities issued from time to time after the date hereof in exchange for Old
Securities, and (iii) the principal amount of any additional Securities issued pursuant to Section
1022).

     The Securities shall be known and designated as the “10% Senior Secured Notes due 2012” of the
Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be January 15, 2012, and each Security shall bear interest at
the rate of 10.00% per annum, from the date such Security is first issued or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be,
payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing April 15, 2010, until the principal
thereof is paid or made available for payment.

     Interest on the Securities will be payable in kind in PIK Securities or, at the Company’s
option, in cash, subject to 30 days’ prior written notice from the Company to the Trustee of each
interest payment to be made in cash. PIK Securities will be issued in denominations of $100 and
integral multiples of $100. The amount of PIK Securities issued will be rounded down to the nearest
$100 with any fractional amount paid in cash. With respect to any Global Security, the issuance of
any PIK Security shall be evidenced by an increase in the principal amount of such Global Security
for the benefit of the accounts of participants specified by DTC (any such increase to be recorded
in the records of the Trustee and noted on Schedule I to the applicable Global Security).

     The principal of and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of
the Company in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or Wilmington, Delaware maintained
for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of the principal of
and interest on the Security may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and provided,
further, however, that any holder of at least $5.0 million in principal amount of
Securities shall be entitled to request payment of the principal of and interest on the Security by
wire transfer.

     The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article XI.

     The Securities shall be subject to defeasance at the option of the Company as provided in
Article XII.

     The Securities shall be Guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors as provided in Article XIII.

33

 

     Section 302. Denominations.

     The Securities shall be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $100 and any integral multiple thereof.

     Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     One of the Company’s Officers shall execute the Securities on behalf of the Company. The
signature of such officer on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company, having endorsed thereon the Subsidiary Guarantee executed under Section 1302 by the
Subsidiary Guarantors, may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Authenticating Agent
for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities with the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantors endorsed thereon, accompanied
by an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating that the issuance of such Securities is in compliance
with the provisions of this Indenture, and the Authenticating Agent, in accordance with such
Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Securities with the Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Subsidiary Guarantors endorsed thereon as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     No Security or Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security and Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed
thereon have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     So long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depository, or
unless otherwise required by law, subject to Section 312, all of the Securities will be represented
by one or more Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such
Global Securities shall be effected through the Depository in accordance with this Indenture and
the applicable procedures of the Depository. Except as provided in Section 312, beneficial owners
of a Global Security shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not
receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not
be considered Holders of such Global Security.

     Any Global Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities as shall be specified
therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect issuances,
repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby and any increases in the
principal amount of the Securities evidencing PIK Securities. Any endorsement of a

34

 

Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding
Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the custodian for the Global
Security, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder
of such Securities in accordance with this Indenture.

     Section 304. Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company
Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and having
endorsed thereon the Subsidiary Guarantees substantially of the tenor of the definitive Subsidiary
Guarantees in lieu of which they are issued duly executed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities and Subsidiary Guarantees may determine, as evidenced by their execution
of such Securities and Subsidiary Guarantees.

     If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary
Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, without
charge to the Holder.

     Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount
of definitive Securities of authorized denominations and like tenor having endorsed thereon
Subsidiary Guarantees executed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. Until so exchanged the temporary
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities.

     Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to
Section 1002 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for
the registration of the names and addresses of the Holders, and of the amount of principal and
interest owed to such Holders from time to time, and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is
hereby appointed “Paying Agent” and “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided. The Company initially appoints DTC to act as
Depository with respect to the Global Security. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act
as Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Security.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the
Company designated pursuant to Section 1002 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal

35

 

amount and tenor, each such Security having endorsed thereon the Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Subsidiary Guarantors.

     At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, and tenor, and having the
Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed thereon executed by each Subsidiary Guarantor, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute the Subsidiary
Guarantee endorsed thereon and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the respective
Subsidiary Guarantors, evidencing the same debt and Subsidiary Guarantees, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed thereon
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of, transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1108 or in accordance with any
Offer to Purchase pursuant to Section 1015, 1016 or 1017 not involving any transfer.

     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day
of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities selected for redemption under Section 1104
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed thereon and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them, each Subsidiary Guarantor and any agent of any of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon Company

36

 

Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or
stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon the
Subsidiary Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay
such Security.

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.

     Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, and the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed thereon, shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company and the respective Subsidiary Guarantors, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities.

     Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the
Interest Record Date for such interest.

     Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Interest Record Date by virtue of having been
such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case,
as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed
in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and
at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in immediately
available funds in United States dollars equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in

37

 

this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall, with the consent of the Trustee, fix a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days
and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly
notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (2). If the Company fails to set a Special Record Date or cause
notice to Holders, the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, may elect to
carry out the foregoing provisions.

     (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the
Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment
shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.

     Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 307) interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     Section 309. Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
any Offer to Purchase pursuant to Section 1015, 1016 or 1017 shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall pursuant to Company Order be promptly
cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in
any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee
pursuant to Company Order. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as

38

 

expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

     Section 310. Computation of Interest.

     Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

     Section 311. PIK Securities.

     If the Company pays interest payable on the Securities in the form of PIK Securities, the PIK
Securities shall be issued in denominations of $100 principal amount and integral multiples
thereof. The amount of PIK Securities issued will be rounded down to the nearest $100 with any
fractional amount to be paid in cash.

     Section 312. Global Securities.

     Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the
Depository or a nominee thereof and delivered to the Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian
for the Global Securities therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single
Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in
whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in
part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depository or a nominee thereof
unless:

     (1) the Depository (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depository for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, and in each case, a successor depository has not been
appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days; or

     (2) upon request by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with customary
procedures following the request of a beneficial owner seeking to enforce its rights under
the Securities or this Indenture upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default.

     Any Global Securities exchanged pursuant to clause (1) above shall be so exchanged in whole
and not in part.

     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to this
Section 312 shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, shall have an aggregate principal
amount equal to that of such Global Securities or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be
registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall designate
and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Securities to be exchanged shall be
surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, provided that pending
completion of the exchange of a Global Security, the Trustee acting as custodian for the Global
Securities for the Depository or its nominee with respect to such Global Securities, shall

39

 

reduce the principal amount thereof by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such
surrender or adjustment and receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery the Securities issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the
Depository or an authorized representative thereof.

     In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (1) above or upon any
request described in clause (2) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a
sufficient supply of Physical Securities in definitive, fully registered form.

     Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) nor any other
Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Securities registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof,
and the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global
Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to
any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or such
nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depository, its Agent Members and any other
Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such
Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Securities.

     At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been redeemed, repurchased, converted,
cancelled or exchanged for Physical Securities, such Global Security shall, upon receipt thereof
and receipt of a Company Order, be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures
and instructions existing between the Depository and the custodian for the Global Security. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is redeemed, repurchased,
converted, cancelled or exchanged for Physical Securities, the principal amount of such Global
Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the
Depository and the custodian for the Global Security, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement
shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the custodian for the Global Security, at
the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

     Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(9) or (10))
occurs and is continuing, then, in every such case, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may accelerate the maturity of
all Securities in a notice in writing to the Company, or to the Company and to the Trustee if given
by Holders, and upon any such declaration such principal and any accrued interest shall become
immediately due and payable; provided, however, that after such acceleration, but
before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Securities may, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, rescind and
annul such acceleration and its consequences if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment
of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(9) or (10) occurs, the principal of and any accrued interest on
the Securities then Outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other Act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

     In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Securities because an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Debt described in clause (6)
of Section 501, the declaration of acceleration of the Securities shall be automatically annulled
if (a) the holders of any Debt described in clause (6) of Section 501 have rescinded or waived the
declaration of acceleration in respect of such Debt, (b) the Debt that is the basis of such Event
of Default has been discharged or (c) the default that is the basis of such Event of Default has
been cured, in each case within 30 days of the date of the declaration, provided that:

     (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Securities would not conflict with any judgment
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

     (2) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the
Securities that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Securities, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 513.

     No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     The Company covenants that if:

44

 

     (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes
due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof
or, with respect to any Security required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase
made by the Company, at the Purchase Date thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest,
and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal and on any overdue interest, at the rate provided by the Securities, and, in
addition thereto, 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.

     If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and collect the moneys adjudged or
decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, wherever situated.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

     Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or the
property of the Company or its creditors or of any Subsidiary Guarantor or its creditors, the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take
any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders
and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official 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 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 607.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

45

 

     Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof
in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     Section 506. Application of Money Collected.

     Any money or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied
in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution
of such money or other property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the
Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and
interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money or other
property has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

     THIRD: to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or such other Person as may be
entitled thereto under applicable law, the remainder, if any, each as their respective interests
may appear.

     The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to the Holders under this Section 506.

     Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

     No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for
any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

     (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

46

 

     (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

     Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and (subject
to Sections 307 and 1001) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date, or in the case of an Offer
to Purchase made by the Company and validly accepted by the Holder of such Security, on the
Purchase Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

     Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or

47

 

constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and
remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may
be.

     Section 512. Control by Holders.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,
provided that

     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

     (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction;

provided, further, that subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the
duties of the Trustee in case an Event of Default will occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities will have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

     Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and
its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security
(including any Security which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase
which has been made by the Company and validly accepted by the Holder of such Security).

     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 514. 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require
any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may
assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be
deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any
suit

48

 

instituted by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or in any suit instituted by any Holder
for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the
Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date or, in the case of an Offer to Purchase made by the Company and required to be
accepted as to such Security, on or after the Purchase Date).

     Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

     Section 516. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or
Stockholders.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, no director, officer, employee,
incorporator, member, manager, partner or stockholder, past, present or future, of the Company or
any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or
the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Securities, this Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

     Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. This
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

Article VI

The Trustee

     Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

     Section 602. Notice of Defaults.

     If a default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing as to which the Trustee has received
notice pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each holder of
Securities a notice of such default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs unless

49

 

such default or Event of Default has been cured or waived; provided, however,
that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(5), no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the Company is given a Notice of Default
pursuant to such Section. Except in the case of a default or Event of Default in payment of any
amounts due with respect to any Securities, the Trustee may withhold the notice, and shall be
protected in withholding the notice, if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the best interests of the holders of the Securities. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default.

     Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

     (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in
reliance upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;

     (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

     (c) the Trustee may, before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting at the request of the
Company, request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or
both; and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel;

     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

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

     (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine during normal business hours and, if no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, upon prior notice to the Company or such Subsidiary
Guarantor the books, records and premises of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, personally or
by agent or attorney;

50

 

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder; and

     (h) the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer that may be imposed under this Indenture with respect
to the Securities pursuant to the terms thereof established or under applicable law, other than to
require delivery of such certificates, documentation or other evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, this Indenture or the terms of such Securities.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

     Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed
thereon, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or of the Subsidiary Guarantees. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds
thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance of the
Company’s covenants under Article X hereof or otherwise established by the terms of the Securities.

     Section 605. May Hold Securities.

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal
with the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

     Section 606. Money Held in Trust.

     Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be.

     Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

     (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services hereunder, as agreed from time to time between the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in subparagraph (c) below, the Company shall reimburse the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or

51

 

made by it in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including costs of collection,
in addition to the compensation for its services). Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants
and experts.

     (b) The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold
harmless the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and its duties hereunder (each, a “Claim”), including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture or any of the Security Documents against the Company or a
Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 607) and defending itself against or investigating any
claim (whether asserted by any Holder or any other Person) in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and its duties hereunder. The obligation to pay such amounts shall
survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Securities or the removal or resignation of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any Claim for which it may seek indemnity
promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any
failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its
indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is
materially prejudiced by such failure to so notify and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall have any obligation hereunder to take any action with respect to any matter as to
which it has received no notice. The Company may, at its election, defend any such claim and the
Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. The Trustee
may have separate counsel with respect to the defense of any such claim and the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and
expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and, in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment, there is no
conflict of interest between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, and the
Trustee in connection with such defense. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor need pay
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
under any obligation to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any Claim arising from an
indemnified party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

     If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the
manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

     Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at
least $25,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of

52

 

this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article.

     Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee under Section 611.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

     (d) If at any time (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 (or resolve such
conflict pursuant to Section 608 within a reasonable amount of time) after written request therefor
by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months, or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609, or (iii) the Trustee
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (iv) the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, then, in any such case, (1) the Company by a Board Resolution may
remove the Trustee, or (2) any Holder of a Security may, on behalf of such Holder and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign or be removed, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation or removal, or the occurrence of such vacancy,
a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have
been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter
provided, any Holder of a Security may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 106. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

53

 

     Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of
the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee. The retiring Trustee shall duly and
promptly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

     No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

     Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In
case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may
adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if
such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

     Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Securities, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantors or any such other obligor.

     Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     The Trustee shall act as the initial Authenticating Agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint
an Authenticating Agent or Agents, reasonably acceptable to the Company, which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities
so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and
obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication

54

 

and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating
Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than $25,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section.

     Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested
with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

     The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

     If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities may have endorsed thereon,
in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of
authentication in the following form:

55

 

     This is one of the Securities with the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed thereon described in the
within-mentioned Indenture.

Article X

Covenants

     Section 1001. Payment of Principal and Interest.

     The Company will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Securities in
accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

     Principal and any interest paid in cash will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying
Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on
such due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and
sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due.

     Interest paid in the form of PIK Securities (other than increases in the principal amount of
any Global Security which shall be paid automatically) shall be considered paid on the date due if,
at least two (2) Business Days prior thereto, the Company executes and delivers to the
Authentication Agent for authentication, in accordance with Section 303, the Physical Securities to
be paid on such Interest Payment Date.

63

 

     Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Company or any other Person
making a payment to a Holder with respect to the Securities shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from such payment such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect
to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts
are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be
treated for all purposes under this Indenture as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Company shall
not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the
Securities as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges imposed in connection with any payments in
respect of the Securities.

     Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or Wilmington,
Delaware, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment (which
may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee or Security Registrar) where
Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Securities, any
Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed thereon and this Indenture may be served. The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company and each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands, such office shall initially be at Wilmington Trust FSB, c/o Wilmington Trust
Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19890-1615, Facsimile: (302)
636-4145, Attention: Corporate Capital Markets.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or Wilmington, Delaware) where the
Securities 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 Wilmington, Delaware, for such
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

     Section 1003. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due
date of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

64

 

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of
the principal of or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or interest on Securities in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities) in the making of any payment of principal or interest; and

     (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

     The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     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 or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company
on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, 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 a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, 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 publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Company.

     Section 1004. Existence.

     Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership
or other existence of each Subsidiary Guarantor; and the rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, however, that
the Company

65

 

shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise, or the corporate, partnership
or other existence of any of its Subsidiary Guarantors, if the Board of Directors in good faith
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders, or such action as is otherwise permitted by
this Indenture.

     Section 1005. Maintenance of Collateral and Properties. 

     The Company will cause all material Collateral used in the conduct of the business of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good working order and
condition, ordinary wear and tear and depreciation excepted, or, if such Collateral is damaged or
destroyed, the Company shall cause the repair or replacement of such Collateral, all as in the
judgment of the Company may be necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries.

     Section 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

     The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (1) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed
upon the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (2) all material lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings.

     Section 1007. Maintenance of Insurance.

     The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep at all times
all of its material Collateral which is of an insurable nature insured against loss or damage with
insurers believed by the Company to be responsible in amounts that the Company deems reasonably
adequate.

     Section 1008. Limitations on Incurrence of Consolidated Debt and Issuance of Capital
Stock .

     The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Debt. The
Company may not at any time issue (i) any Preferred Stock that requires that dividends be paid or
distributions be made in respect of such Preferred Stock or to the holders thereof (other than
dividends or distributions payable solely (x) in shares of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified
Stock) or (y) in options, warrants or other rights to acquire Capital Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock)) or (ii) any Disqualified Stock.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, Incur the following Debt and Disqualified Stock (“Permitted Debt”) so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto:

66

 

     (1) Debt under any Working Capital Facility in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed $10 million, provided that, upon establishment of such Working Capital
Facility, the WCF Administrative Agent and the Trustee shall enter into an Intercreditor Agreement;

     (2) other unsecured Debt of the Company in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed $5 million;

     (3) Debt owed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (so long as such Debt either is held by the Company, a
Subsidiary Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or, in the case of Debt
represented by an Intra-Company Note, is payable to the Company and pledged to secure the
Securities); provided, however, that upon either (x) the transfer or other disposition by such
Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary of any such Debt to a Person other than the
Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor or Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (y)
the issuance, sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock (including by
consolidation or merger) of such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary to a Person other than the
Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or another such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the provisions
of this clause (3) will no longer be applicable to such Debt and such Debt will be deemed to have
been Incurred at the time of such transfer or other disposition;

     (4) Permitted Refinancing Debt;

     (5) obligations in respect of industrial revenue bonds, pollution control bonds or other
similar tax-exempt instruments financing facilities or operations of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (6) Hedging Obligations;

     (7) any PIK Securities;

     (8) Debt of the Company and Restricted Subsidiaries that exists as of the date of this
Indenture and is disclosed on Schedule C, including, without limitation, Debt represented by the
Securities and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the date hereof and any
Outstanding Old Securities not tendered in the Exchange Offer;

     (9) additional Securities issued in exchange for Old Securities (provided Section 1022 is
complied with) or issued to Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of Section 1022;

     (10) Debt incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting
reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit, bankers acceptances and similar
instruments issued in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, letters of
credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Debt with respect to
reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided, however, that upon
the drawing of such letters of credit, bankers acceptances and similar instruments or the
incurrence of such other Debt, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such
drawing or incurrence;

67

 

     (11) obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion guarantees provided
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

     (12) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Debt arising from the
honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument
inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that
such Debt is extinguished within five business days after notice thereof;

     (13) agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification,
adjustment of purchase price or similar customary obligations, in each case incurred or assumed in
connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets permitted by this
Indenture; and

     (14) Debt Incurred for the purpose of financing insurance premiums payable by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business.

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1008, in the event that an item of
proposed Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in
clauses (1) through (14) above, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Debt on the
date of its incurrence, in any manner that complies with this Section 1008. The accrual of
interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any
Subordinated Debt in the form of additional Debt with the same terms and the reclassification of
Preferred Stock as Debt due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Debt or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this
Section 1008.

     Section 1009. Anti-Layering Covenant.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to Incur any Debt
(including Debt otherwise permitted under Section 1008) that is contractually subordinated in right
of payment to any other Debt of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary unless such Debt is also
contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Securities on substantially similar terms.

     Section 1010. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

     The Company (i) will not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend, or make any
distribution, in respect of any class of its Capital Stock or to the holders thereof, but excluding
any dividends or distributions payable solely (a) in shares of its Capital Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock) or (b) in options, warrants or other rights to acquire its Capital Stock (other

of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company), (iii) will not make, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, any
Investment in, or payment on a Subsidiary Guarantee of any obligation of, any Affiliate or any

Subsidiary prior to such Investment, and (iv) will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, redeem, defease, repurchase, retire, prepay or otherwise acquire or retire for value
prior to any scheduled maturity, repayment or sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Debt of the
Company (each of clauses (i) through (iv) being a “Restricted Payment”).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing:

     (1) the Restricted Subsidiaries may pay cash dividends to the Company in the amounts and at
the times of any payment by the Company in respect of taxes, provided that (x) the amount of cash

at any time does not exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of such federal and state income taxes
owing by the Company at such time for the respective period and (B) the amount of such federal and
state income taxes that would be owing by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
for such period if determined without regard to the Company’s ownership of the Subsidiaries and (y)
any refunds will promptly be returned by the Company to the Restricted Subsidiaries; and

     (2) the Restricted Subsidiaries may pay cash dividends to the Company in the amounts and at
the times of any payment by the Company in respect of interest on the Securities or the Old
Securities.

     The provisions of this Section 1010 will not prohibit:

     (a) the Refinancing of any Subordinated Debt of the Company with Permitted Refinancing Debt
that has payment in kind interest;

     (b) any repurchase or other acquisition of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary deemed to occur upon the exercise of options, warrants or other convertible or
exchangeable securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Company’s or such Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock;

     (c) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise
of options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities convertible into or
exchangeable for the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock; or

of $100,000 in the aggregate.

Section 1011. Limitations Concerning Distributions and Transfers By Restricted
Subsidiaries.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, allow to
exist any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary
(i) to pay, directly or indirectly, dividends or make any other distributions in respect of its
Capital Stock or pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company or any other of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) to make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; or (iii) to transfer any of its property or assets to the Company.

supplements, refundings, replacements or Refinancings of those agreements; provided that such
amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement
or Refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such
encumbrances or restrictions, than those contained in those agreements as in effect on the date of
this Indenture; (e) pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Securities, the Subsidiary
Guarantees and the Security Documents, (f) pursuant to the terms of any permitted Working Capital
Facility; (g) pursuant to applicable law, rule, regulation or order; (h) pursuant to the terms of

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; (i) pursuant to Liens securing Debt or other obligations otherwise
permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 1012 so long as such encumbrances and

     Section 1012. Limitations on Liens.

secure any Debt.

     Section 1013. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to, enter
into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would
be entitled to Incur a Lien to secure Debt by reason of the provisions described under Section
1012, equal in amount to the Attributable Value of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the
Sale and Leaseback Transaction is treated as an Asset Disposition and all of the conditions
described under Section 1015 are satisfied with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction,

     The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to,
directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction not in the ordinary course of business that
involves an amount in excess of $1 million with any Affiliate of the Company (other than the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), unless the Board of Directors determines in its
reasonable good faith judgment, evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors filed with the
Trustee, that (i) such transaction is in the best interests of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary; and (ii) such transaction is on terms not materially less favorable to the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length
transaction with an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Company; provided,
however, in the case of such a transaction that involves an amount in excess of $10
million, such resolution of the Board of Directors is accompanied by a fairness opinion from a
nationally known investment banking or valuation firm.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1014 will not apply to (i) transactions between
the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) any
payments or transactions permitted pursuant to Section 1010, (iii) the payment of reasonable annual
compensation and reasonable and customary fees to directors or executive officers of the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any employment, consulting, indemnification or similar
agreement or other compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, (iv) any Incentive Arrangements involving
directors or executive officers and any grants of awards under any such Incentive Arrangements, (v)
tax sharing agreements, or payments pursuant thereto, between the Company or one or more
Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other Person with which the Company or such Subsidiaries are
required or permitted to file a consolidated tax return or with which the Company or such
Subsidiaries are part of a consolidated group for tax purposes to be used by such Person to pay
taxes, on the other hand; (vi) sales of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Company to Affiliates of the Company; and (vii) transactions under any contract or agreement of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in effect on the date of this Indenture, in each case, as the
same may be amended, modified or replaced from time to time, so long as any such amendment,
modification or replacement is not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries than the contract or agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

     Section 1015. Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions.

     (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset
Disposition in one or more related transactions unless (i) the Company or the Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration for such disposition at least equal to the
fair market value of the shares or assets (or interest therein) disposed of (as determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors filed with
the Trustee); and (ii) not less than 75% of the consideration for such disposition consists of
cash, readily marketable cash equivalents and/or the assumption by the transferee of Debt of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary
from all liability on the Debt assumed by the transferee (provided that this clause (ii) shall not
apply in the case of disposition of obsolete, damaged or worn-out

71

 

equipment or other assets no longer used or useful in the business of the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries); and (iii) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net
Available Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, to the extent any Working Capital Facility does not
require that such Net Available Proceeds be used to reduce the outstanding balance under such
Working Capital Facility, so that whenever Asset Dispositions result in the receipt of at least $2
million in the aggregate in Net Available Proceeds not required to be used to reduce the
outstanding balance under the Working Capital Facility (a) at least 75% of such Net Available
Proceeds shall be used within 30 days of the receipt of such Net Available Proceeds to make an
Offer to Purchase the Securities at 100% of the principal amount thereof (plus accrued interest to
the date of purchase) and (b) any balance of such Net Available Proceeds shall be used within 120
days of the receipt of such proceeds to make capital expenditures in assets that are, or will
become, Collateral for the Securities or otherwise used in the business of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries. Pending receipt of $2 million in aggregate Net Available Proceeds not
required to be used to reduce the outstanding balance under the Working Capital Facility, at least
75% of such Net Available Proceeds shall be held in an account such that the Trustee has a security
interest in such Net Available Proceeds pursuant to the Security Documents.

     (b) The Company will mail the Offer for an Offer to Purchase required pursuant to Section
1015(a) not more than 30 days after consummation of the disposition referred to in Section 1015(a).
Each Holder shall be entitled to tender all or any portion of the Securities owned by such Holder
pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Security
tendered must be tendered in an integral multiple of $100 principal amount.

     (c) Not later than the date of the Offer with respect to an Offer to Purchase pursuant to this
Section 1015, the Company shall deliver or furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
notifying the Trustee of the Company’s obligation to make an Offer to Purchase and its compliance
with all requirements of sub-paragraph (a) required to be complied with as of such date.

     (d) The Company shall perform its obligations specified in the Offer for the Offer to
Purchase. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment (on a pro
rata basis, if necessary) Securities or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Offer,
(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all
Securities or portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof so accepted. If the
Purchase Date is on or after an Interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment
Date, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Holder in whose name a Security is
registered at the close of business on such Interest Record Date, and no additional interest will
be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The Paying Agent (or the
Company, if so acting) shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so accepted payment
in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and the Trustee shall, pursuant to Company Order (which
Company Order the Company shall give to the Trustee), promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to
such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security
surrendered. Any Security not accepted for payment shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the
Company to the Holder thereof.

72

 

     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1015 shall not apply to a transaction that is
subject to and permitted under Section 801 or Section 1017.

Section 1016. Limitation on Issuances and Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted
Subsidiaries.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than to
the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) unless
the Net Available Proceeds from such transfer, sale or other disposition with a value greater than
$500,000 are applied in accordance with Section 1015 as if such sale or disposition were an Asset
Disposition thereunder. The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue shares of
its Capital Stock (other than directors’ qualifying or similar shares), or securities convertible
into, or warrants, rights or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of, its Capital Stock to
any Person (other than to the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company) unless the Net Available Proceeds from such subscription with a value
greater than $500,000 are applied in accordance with Section 1015 as if such sale or disposition
were an Asset Disposition thereunder. The foregoing provision will not be violated by the issuance
or sale by a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of shares of its Capital Stock provided that upon
consummation of any such issuance or sale, such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary remains a Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary. The foregoing provisions will not apply to a transaction that is
subject to and permitted under Section 801, Section 802 and Section 1017.

     Section 1017. Change of Control.

     (a) Within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to
commence an Offer to Purchase any and all outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to 100%
of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase except
to the extent the Company has previously or concurrently elected to redeem all the Securities
pursuant to Section 1101. A “Change of Control” will be deemed to have occurred either (i)
at such time as any Person (other than a Permitted Holder), or any Persons acting together which
would constitute a “group” (a “Group”) for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act
(other than Permitted Holders), together with any Affiliates thereof, beneficially owns (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the total
voting power of all classes of Voting Stock of the Company, (ii) at such time as (x) the sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to
another Person (other than a Permitted Holder) shall have occurred or (y) a definitive agreement
shall have been executed by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries providing for such a sale (in which
event the Offer to Purchase may be made contingent upon consummation of such sale) or (iii) at such
time as any Person or Group (other than Permitted Holders), together with any Affiliates thereof,
succeeds in having a sufficient number of its nominees (other than nominees whose nominations were
approved by a majority of the directors of the Company then in office) elected to the Board of
Directors of the Company such that such nominees, when added to any existing directors remaining on
the Board of Directors of the Company after such election who are Affiliates or Related Persons of
such Person or Group, will constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. Neither
the Board of Directors

73

 

of the Company nor the Trustee (except with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities as provided in this Indenture) may waive this Section 1017(a).

     (b) The Company and the Trustee shall perform their respective obligations specified in the
Offer for the Offer to Purchase. Prior to the Purchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for
payment Securities or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, (ii) deposit with
the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust
as provided in Section 1003) money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Securities or
portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof so accepted. The Paying Agent shall
promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the
Purchase Price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a
new Security or Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security
surrendered as requested by the Holder. Any Security not accepted for payment shall be promptly
mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. If the Purchase Date is on or after an
Interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, will be paid to the Holder in whose name a Security is registered at the close of
business on such Interest Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who
tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws
or regulations conflict with this Section 1017, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 1017 by virtue thereof.

     (e) An Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of consummation of a Change of Control, and
conditioned upon consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for
the Change of Control at the time of making the Offer to Purchase. The Company will not be
required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change in Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in this Section 1017 and purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under
the Offer to Purchase.

     Section 1018. Limitation on Acquisitions.

     The Company will not, and will not permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any
acquisitions of assets (including stock or securities) outside the ordinary course of business in
excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, unless the assets so acquired become Collateral for the
Securities at the time of acquisition thereof or the assets cannot become Collateral because of a
Permitted Lien on such assets.

     Section 1019. Limitation on Capital Expenditures.

     (a) The Company will not, and will not permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make or incur
Capital Expenditures in any year indicated below, in an aggregate amount for the Company and all of
its Restricted Subsidiaries in excess of the corresponding amount set forth below opposite such
year under the column “Consolidated Capital Expenditures”:

74

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Consolidated Capital Expenditures
	Date of issuance through December 31, 2009
	 	a pro rata portion of an annualized amount of 

$5,000,000
	 
	Year ending December 31, 2010
	 	$6,000,000	 	 
	 
	Year ending December 31, 2011
	 	$4,000,000	 	 

     (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 1019, during any year the amount of Capital
Expenditures permitted for that year is not fully utilized, 100% of the unutilized amount
(exclusive of any amounts carried over from the prior year) may be utilized in the immediately
succeeding year.

     (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 1019, the above limitations shall
not apply to Capital Expenditures incurred due to extraordinary (i.e., not ordinary wear and tear)
damage to assets caused by storm, hurricane, typhoon, tidal wave, tsunami, shipwreck, fire or other
accident, natural disaster or act of God or due to any act of war, terrorist act, act of piracy or
similar event.

     Section 1020. Provision of Financial Information.

     So long as the Securities are Outstanding, the Company will either file with the Commission
the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents the Company is required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or if the Company is not subject
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will post on a website available to
Holders of Securities or provide to the Trustee for distribution to the Holders of Securities the
annual and quarterly financial statements that it would be required to file pursuant to Regulation
S-X Items 3-01 to 3-04 of the Securities Act with the Commission if the Company were subject to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     Section 1021. Minimum Cash Balance.

     At all times from and after the establishment of a Working Capital Facility, the Company will
not permit the total amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, determined in accordance
with GAAP, held by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to be less than $2,000,000.

Section 1022. Most Favored Nation Provision upon Future Tender Offer for, or Purchase
of, Old Securities.

     The Company and its Subsidiaries will not voluntarily tender for, prepay, purchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire any Old Securities after the date hereof unless (A) the consideration for such
acquisition of Old Securities consists solely of shares of Common Stock and/or Securities and (B)
the total value of such consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Old Securities (measured at
the time of such acquisition of Old Securities) is not greater than the total value of the
Securities and Common Stock received by Holders in the Exchange Offer per

75

 

$1,000 principal amount of Old Securities (measured at the time of such acquisition of
remaining Old Securities), unless, concurrently with the consummation of such acquisition of Old
Securities, the Company distributes to each holder of Securities issued pursuant to the Exchange
Offer (or issued upon a registered transfer of Securities issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer)
additional Securities and/or additional shares of Common Stock (in the same proportion as the
consideration paid in connection with the Company’s acquisition of such Old Securities) having a
total value (measured at the time of such distribution) equivalent to the difference between (1)
the total value of the consideration such Holder would receive for its Old Securities if the
Company acquired all such Old Securities from such Holder on the same terms as the Company’s
acquisition of Old Securities (based on the principal amount of Old Securities that such Holder
would hold assuming a rescission of the Exchange Offer immediately prior to such distribution) and
(2) the sum of (x) the total value of the Securities and Common Stock that a holder owning the
amount of Securities held by such holder at the time of such distribution would have received in
the Exchange Offer (measured at the time of such distribution) and (y) the total value of any
Securities and/or Common Stock previously distributed to such Holder pursuant to this Section 1022
(measured at the time of such distribution).

     Section 1023. Statement by Officers as to Default.

     (a) The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s
Certificate (the signer of which shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting
officer), stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of Sections 801 or 802 or Sections 1004 to 1023, inclusive, as of the end
of such fiscal year, and if the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have
knowledge. For purposes of this Section 1023, such compliance or default shall be determined
without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture.

     (b) The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as
possible and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of an
Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or
default, and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

     (c) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
a written statement by the Company’s independent public accountants stating that the Company is in
compliance with the minimum cash balance covenant set forth in Section 1021 as of the end of such
fiscal year; provided that such written statement from the Company’s independent public accountants
shall not be required if the Company does not have established a Working Capital Facility at the
end of such fiscal year.

76

 

     Section 1024. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 801 and 802 and Sections 1004 to 1023, if before
the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance
or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to
or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and
effect; provided, however, with respect to an Offer to Purchase as to which an
Offer has been mailed, no such waiver may be made or shall be effective against any Holder
tendering Securities pursuant to such Offer, and the Company may not omit to comply with the terms
of such Offer as to such Holder.

Article XI

     Section 1101. Right of Redemption.

     The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at
such Holder’s address appearing on the Security Register, in amounts of $100 or an integral
multiple of $100, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to but excluding
the Redemption Date. If the Redemption Date is on or after an Interest Record Date and on or

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities pursuant to Section 1101 shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less
than all the Securities, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by
the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and provide the
Trustee with a copy of the relevant Board Resolution.

77

 

     Section 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

     If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, in compliance with
the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are
listed, or if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable
legal requirements and the requirements of the Depository, if applicable) and which may provide for
the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $100 or any integral multiple thereof) of the
principal amount of Securities of a denomination larger than $100.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and each Security Registrar in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

     For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been
or is to be redeemed.

     Section 1105. Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register, except that redemption notices may be mailed
more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a
defeasance of the securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles
IV and XII of this Indenture.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price,

     (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification (and,
in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be
redeemed,

     (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each
such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,
and

     (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price.

78

 

     Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company.

     Section 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price.

     Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in same day funds in United States dollars sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment
Date) any applicable accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.
The Trustee or Paying Agent will 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, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed.

     Section 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company
at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to
their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the unpaid principal shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate provided by the Security and in Section 1001
hereof.

     Section 1108. Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency
of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or the
Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing), and the Company shall execute and give a Company Order to the Trustee to authenticate,
and the Trustee, pursuant to such Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination
as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

79

 

Article XII

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

     Section 1201. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, elect to have either Section
1202 or Section 1203 applied to the Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article XII.

     Section 1202. Defeasance and Discharge.

     Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1201 applicable to this Section,
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their
obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) on the
date the conditions set forth in Section 1204 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter,
“defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the
Outstanding Securities (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and
the Trustee, at the expense of the Company and pursuant to Company Order, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely
from the trust fund described in Section 1204 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of and each installment of interest on such Securities when such
payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304,
305, 306 and 1002 and to the Trustee under Section 607, (C) the rights, powers, and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder, (D) the Trustee’s obligations under Sections 1003 and 1405 and (E) this
Article XII. Subject to compliance with this Article XII, the Company may exercise its option
under this Section 1202 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1203.

     Section 1203. Covenant Defeasance.

     Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1201 applicable to this Section
1203, (i) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from each of their
obligations under Sections 1005 through 1021, inclusive, and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 801,
and (ii) the occurrence of an event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to clauses (3) or
(4) of Section 801), 501(5) (with respect to any of Sections 1005 through 1021, inclusive), 501(6)
and 501(7) shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default on and after the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and the Securities will
thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any Act of Holders (and the consequences
of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for
all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities will not be deemed
outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that with
respect to the Outstanding Securities and Subsidiary Guarantees, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any

80

 

term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, Section, clause or Article,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant,
Section, clause or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section, clause or Article to
any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute
an Event of Default, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

     Section 1204. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1202 or Section 1203 to
the then Outstanding Securities:

     (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the
provisions of this Article XII applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making
the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) non-callable Government
Securities, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (it being agreed for
all purposes hereof that Moss Adams LLP is so reasonably acceptable) expressed in a written
certification thereof in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and each installment of interest on the Securities
on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of interest in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and of such Securities or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and
the Company must specify whether the Securities are being defeased to the Stated Maturity or to a
particular Redemption Date.

     (2) In the case of an election under Section 1202, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there
has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not
recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

     (3) In the case of an election under Section 1203, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not
recognize 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 amount, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

     (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect
that the Securities, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of
such deposit.

81

 

     (5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting
interest as defined in Section 608 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any
securities of the Company.

     (6) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or, insofar
as subsections 501(8) and (9) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 121st day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).

     (7) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to
which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

     (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance
under Section 1202 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1203 (as the case may be) have been
complied with.

     (9) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or such trust shall be qualified under such act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

     (10) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax imposed on or
assessed against non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 1204 or the
interest and principal received in respect of such non-callable Government Securities other than
any such tax which by law is payable by or on behalf of Holders; it being understood that the
Trustee shall bear no responsibility for any such tax which by law is payable by or on behalf of
Holders.

Section 1205. Deposited Money and Non-Callable Government Securities to be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 and Section 1207, 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 1205, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 1204 in respect of the Outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal and interest, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     Anything in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or non-callable Government
Securities held by it as provided in Section 1204 which, in the opinion of a

82

 

nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee expressed in a written certification thereof in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section
1204(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.

     Section 1206. Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 1202 or 1203, 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 Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1202 or 1203, as the
case may be; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal
of or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money
held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

     Section 1207. Repayment to the Company.

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company
on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Security will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company 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, will 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 will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Article XIII

Subsidiary Guarantees

     Section 1301. Subsidiary Guarantees.

     Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees to
each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf
of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on such Security when
and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call
for redemption, purchase or otherwise, in accordance with the

83

 

terms of such Security and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company
punctually to make any such payment, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
agrees to cause such payment to be made immediately.

     Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees that its obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of
such Security or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any exchange,
release or non-perfection of any Lien on any collateral for, or any release or amendment or waiver
of any term of any other Guarantee of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any
other Guarantee of all or any of the Securities, the election by the Trustee or any of the Holders
in any proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”) of the application of Section 1111(b) (2) of the Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing or grant
of a security interest by the Company, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the
claims of the Trustee or any of the Holders for payment of any of the Securities, any variation or
modification of such Security or of this Indenture, the obtaining of any judgment against the
Company or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, any requirement
that the Trustee or any of the Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in
or other Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the
Company or any other Person or any Collateral, 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 or notice with respect to such Security or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and
all demands whatsoever, and covenants, that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged in
respect of such Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such
Security and in this Subsidiary Guarantee or release therefrom pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in
payment of principal or interest on such Security, whether at their Stated Maturity, by
acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by
the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this
Subsidiary Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee
or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to
accelerate the maturity of the Securities, to collect interest on the Securities, or to enforce or
exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Securities, or the Trustee or the Holders
are prevented from taking any action to realize on the Collateral, such Subsidiary Guarantor agrees
to pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would
otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by
the Trustee or any of the Holders.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities
upon which its Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such
Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of its Subsidiary
Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that no Subsidiary Guarantor shall
be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of

84

 

subrogation until the principal of and interest on all Securities issued hereunder shall have
been paid in full.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should
the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a
receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on
the Securities, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer”, or otherwise, all as
though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned.

     No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner or stockholder, past
present or future, of any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any
obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Securities, this Indenture, the Subsidiary
Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.
This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

     The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying
Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under this Subsidiary Guarantee.

     Section 1302. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees.

     The Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities shall include the terms of the
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 1301 and any other terms that may be set forth in the
form established pursuant to Section 205. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees to
execute its Subsidiary Guarantee, in a form established pursuant to Section 205, to be endorsed on
each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

     The Subsidiary Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each respective Subsidiary Guarantor
by any one of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board,
directors, Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice Presidents, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer,
Managing Member, sole member or Management Committee Members. The signature of any or all of these
Persons on the Subsidiary Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

     A Subsidiary Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at
any time the proper officers of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind such Subsidiary Guarantor,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of the Security on which such Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed or did
not hold such offices at the date of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

85

 

     The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Subsidiary
Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees that its
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 1301 shall remain in full force and effect subject to the
terms and conditions thereof notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Subsidiary Guarantee on any
Security.

     Section 1303. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

     Except as set forth in Section 1304 and in Articles VIII and X hereof, nothing contained in
this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a
Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or shall prevent any sale
or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor.

     Section 1304. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors.

     (a) Concurrently with any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor or any sale or
conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety, in each case as permitted by Section 1303 hereof, and upon delivery by the Company to the
Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance was made in accordance with Section 1303 hereof, the
Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on the
Securities and under this Article XIII. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations
under its Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on the Securities and under this Article XIII shall remain
liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities and for the other
obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on the Securities
and under this Article XIII.

     (b) Concurrently with the defeasance of the Securities under Section 1202 hereof or the
covenant defeasance of the Securities under Section 1203 hereof, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be
released from all of their obligations under their Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on the Securities
and under this Article XIII.

     (c) Upon the sale or disposition of all the Capital Stock or substantially all of the assets
(including by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company to any entity that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and
which sale or disposition is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantees endorsed on the Securities and under this Article XIII, provided that such Subsidiary
Guarantor is sold or disposed of for fair market value (evidenced by a Board Resolution and set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee).

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, subject to the Trust Indenture Act
and in addition to releases otherwise permitted hereunder, Holders of at least 95% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities may, by Act of such Holders, on behalf of all

86

 

Holders of Securities, approve the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, on such terms as such Holders may deem appropriate.

     (e) In the event any Subsidiary Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
accordance with this Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from all
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on the Securities and under this Article XIII.

     Section 1305. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.

     (a) The Company shall cause any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of
this Indenture to become a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Securities. Any such Person
shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Trustee (a) a supplemental
indenture, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, which subjects such Person to the
provisions of this Indenture as a Subsidiary Guarantor and (b) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such Person and
constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Person (subject to such
customary exceptions concerning creditors’ rights and equitable principles as may be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee).

     (b) The Company will cause any Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a borrower under
or guarantor of the Company’s obligations under the Working Capital Facility to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to the Securities.

Article XIV

Security Documents

     Section 1401. Security Documents. 

     (a) As general and continuing collateral security for the due satisfaction of the Obligations
of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, under this Indenture, the Securities,
and the due performance by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, hereunder, the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee have entered into Security Documents to grant
Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Collateral to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.

     (b) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors owns and has rights and, as to the
Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own and have rights in each

and all Liens or claims of others, except for Permitted Liens and Liens granted or permitted under
the Security Documents.

     (c) The security interest in and the Lien on the Collateral granted under the Security
Documents constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Collateral securing the
payment and performance of the Obligations, and (ii) subject to the filings and other actions
described in the Security Documents, a perfected security interest in the Collateral. The security

87

 

interest and the Lien granted to the Trustee under the Security Documents in and on the
Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected, continuing security interest therein, prior to
all other Liens on the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens and any other Liens permitted under
the Security Documents.

     (d) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, at its own cost and expense,
defend title to the Collateral pledged by it under the Security Documents and the security interest
therein and Liens granted thereon under the Security Documents and the priority thereof against all
claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Trustee
or any other Holder other than Liens permitted under the Security Documents and Permitted Liens.

     (e) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, will execute such
documents and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably required by the
Trustee, to grant or confirm to the Trustee a Lien on the Collateral, or any part thereof, as from
time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of the
Security Documents, this Indenture and the Securities.

     (f) Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security
Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release
of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with
its terms or the terms hereof, authorizes and empowers the Trustee to bind the Holders of
Securities as set forth in the Security Documents and authorizes the Trustee to enter into the
Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance
therewith.

     Section 1402. Recording, Etc.

     (a) The Company shall cause, at the Company’s expense, this Indenture and each Security
Document, and all amendments or supplements thereto, to be registered, recorded and filed and/or
re-recorded and/or re-filed and/or renewed in such manner and in such place or places, if any, as
may be reasonably required by the Trustee in order to preserve, protect and maintain the perfected
Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) created by the Security Documents on the Collateral. The
Company shall pay all mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes, charges or fees
required to be paid by any government or quasi-government Person under applicable legal
requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, perfection or
enforcement of any of the Security Documents.

     (b) The Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before November 15 of each year, beginning
November 15, 2010 (or, if any November 15 is not a Business Day, on or before the next succeeding
Business Day), an Opinion or Opinions of Counsel, dated as of such date, either stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering,
filing, re-recording, re-registering and re-filing of (i) this Indenture, the Security Documents
and all supplemental indentures and amendments thereto, and (ii) financing statements, continuation
statements or other instruments of further assurances, as is necessary to maintain the Lien created
by each such Security Document and reciting the details of such action or referring to prior
Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, and stating that, in the

88

 

opinion of such counsel, based on relevant laws as in effect on the date of such Opinion of
Counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are
necessary as of such date to perfect such Lien, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no
such action is necessary to maintain such Liens.

     Section 1403. Possession of the Collateral. 

     (a) Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor may possess, manage, operate and enjoy, as applicable, the Collateral in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture, the Securities and the Security Documents.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts received by the Trustee in accordance with this
Indenture or in any Security Document as proceeds of any part of the Collateral (including Net
Available Proceeds in the case of an Asset Disposition) and all amounts of money, securities,
letters of credit and other evidences of indebtedness deposited with or held by the Trustee in
accordance with this Indenture and any Security Document shall be held by the Trustee as security
for the Obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, under this Indenture, the
Securities, any Subsidiary Guarantees and the Security Documents until applied in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture.

     Section 1404. Suits to Protect the Collateral

     The Trustee shall have power to institute in its name and to maintain such suits and
proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which
may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, and such suits
and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the
interests of the Holders in the Collateral and in the principal, interest, issues, profits, rents,
revenues and other income arising therefrom, including power to institute and maintain suits or
proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental
enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of,
or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or under any
of the Security Documents, or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee.

     Section 1405. Release of Collateral.

     (a) Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security
Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security
Documents or as provided hereby and will automatically be so released, in accordance with the
Security Documents and without the consent of the Holders, under any one or more of the following
circumstances:

     (1) if the assets subject to the Lien are transferred or otherwise disposed of in
compliance with Section 1015 hereof, such assets shall be so released;

     (2) if any Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Subsidiary
Guarantee pursuant to Article XIII hereof and the Security Documents, that

89

 

Subsidiary’s assets shall be so released from the Liens securing the Securities and the
Subsidiary Guarantees; and

          (3) pursuant to the provisions of Article IX hereof.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Trust Indenture Act, in
addition to releases otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, all or substantially all, or any
material portion of, the Collateral securing the Securities will be released from the Lien and
security interest created by the Security Documents upon the approval of Holders of at least 95% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, on such terms as such Holders may deem appropriate.

     (c) Upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each to the effect that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met, and without the
consent of any Holder, the security interests on assets included in the Collateral will be
released, in whole, from the Liens securing the Securities under any one or more of the following
circumstances:

     (1) upon payment in full of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the
Securities and all other amounts due under this Indenture, the Securities and the Security
Documents;

     (2) upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth in Article IV
hereof; or

     (3) upon defeasance or covenant defeasance as set forth in Article XII hereof.

Upon receipt of such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall, at the
expense of the Company, do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release any
Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents.

     (d) The Trustee shall not at any time release Collateral from the Liens created by this
Indenture and the Security Documents unless such release is in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture and the Security Documents.

     (e) The release of any Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents shall not be deemed
to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the
extent the Collateral is released pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents. To the
extent applicable, the Company shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) relating to the
release of property from the Lien of the Security Documents and relating to the substitution
therefor of any property to be subjected to the Lien of the Security Documents. Any certificate or
opinion required by Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company,
except in cases where Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion
be made by an independent person, which person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or other
expert selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

90

 

     (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Securities or any Security
Document, the Company may enter into a secured Working Capital Facility and grant the WCF
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the lenders thereunder) a Lien, with higher priority than the
Lien securing the Securities, in the Collateral. Provided that the conditions set forth under
“Authority” and “Review of Documentation” in Schedule A have been satisfied, the Trustee shall enter
into an Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment thereto) and any amendments or modifications to
the Security Documents in connection therewith (as contemplated by Schedule A hereto) and, in
accordance with such documents, the Lien in the Collateral shall be subordinated to the extent
necessary to grant the higher priority Liens to the extent set forth in such Intercreditor
Agreement.

     (g) From and after the Company’s entry into the Working Capital Facility and the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Liens securing the Securities shall be subject to the higher priority Liens to the
extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and the permitted actions of the Trustee hereunder
and under the Security Documents with respect to the Collateral or otherwise shall be subject to
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Section 1406. Disposition of Collateral Without Release. 

     Notwithstanding the provisions of the Security Documents and subject to Section 1006 hereof
and the Trust Indenture Act, the Company may, without any prior release or consent by the Trustee:

     (a) sell or otherwise dispose in any transaction or series of related transactions of any
Collateral that may be defective or may have become worn out, defective or obsolete or is not used
or useful in the operation of the Company, or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors;

     (b) alter, repair, replace, change the location or position of and add to its plants,
structures, machinery, systems, equipment, fixtures and appurtenances constituting Collateral;

     (c) subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, abandon, terminate, cancel, release
or make alterations in or substitutions of any leases, contracts or rights-of-way subject to the
Lien of the Security Documents;

     (d) grant a non-exclusive license of any interest in or right to intellectual property
included in Collateral; or

     (e) abandon any interest in or right to intellectual property included in Collateral. Nothing
in this Article XIV shall limit the right of each of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to
sell, lease or otherwise deal in or dispose of its property or assets that do not constitute
Collateral, subject only to the provisions of Article X hereof.

     Section 1407. Sufficiency of Release.

     All purchasers and grantees of any property or rights purporting to be released shall be
entitled to rely upon any release executed by the Trustee hereunder as sufficient for the purpose
of this Indenture and as constituting a good and valid release of the property therein described
from the Lien of this Indenture and of the Security Documents.

91

 

     Section 1408. Actions by the Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and Article XII, the Trustee may in its
sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders take all actions it deems necessary or
appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and (ii) to collect
and receive all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company and any Guarantors
under the Security Documents and this Indenture. The Trustee shall have the power to institute and
maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient in order to prevent any impairment of
the Collateral by any act that may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or the Security
Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect
its interests and those of the Holders in the Collateral. No duty beyond that set forth in Section
501 is imposed on the Trustee pursuant to this Section 1408.

     This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

     Section 1409. Conflicts Between Indenture and Security Documents.

     If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Indenture and any of the Security
Documents, this Indenture shall govern; provided, however, that to the extent a Security
Document is governed by law other than the internal laws of the State of New York, this Indenture
shall not require that the internal laws of the State of New York govern such Security Document
(other than the Intercreditor Agreement, if any).

     Upon the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement and so long as the Intercreditor
Agreement is in effect, the rights, obligations and remedies of the parties shall be subject
thereto. This Indenture shall not impose any obligation or grant any right to any party to the
extent that such obligation or right conflicts with the Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

92

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed all as
of the day and year first above written.

AMBASSADORS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

The liens and security interests of the Indenture Trustee, in its role as collateral agent under
the Security Documents (the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”) for the benefit of the holders
of the 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) issued by Ambassadors
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); and guaranteed by all present
and future subsidiaries of the Company (other than Cypress Reinsurance, Ltd., a limited liability
company organized under the laws of Bermuda, EN Boat, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, AQ
Boat, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Ambassadors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, and any future subsidiary qualifying as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture)
(each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) (such liens and security
interests, the “Second Priority Liens”), will be subordinated to the liens and security
interests of the agent (the “First Lien Collateral Agent”) under the Working Capital
Facility (such liens and security interests, the “First Priority Liens”) pursuant to an
intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) to be entered into between the
Second Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Collateral Agent reflecting the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

The Intercreditor Agreement shall reflect the terms set forth below and shall not contain any
material limitation or burden on, or other provision materially adversely affecting, the rights or
remedies of the Second Priority Lienholders (as defined below), except as expressly set forth
herein.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them for purposes of the indenture
under which the Senior Secured Notes are issued (the “Indenture”).

	 	 	 
	Priority and
Subordination:

	 	The Second Priority Liens securing the obligations owed to the Second Lien
Collateral Agent and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes (together
with the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the “Second Priority Lienholders”)
under the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes and the related security
documents (the “Second Lien Obligations”) shall be junior and subordinated
to the First Priority Liens securing the obligations under the Working
Capital Facility, up to the First Lien Cap Amount (as defined below) (the
“First Lien Obligations”).
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the lenders under the
Working Capital Facility (together with the First Lien Collateral Agent,
the “First Priority Lienholders”), will have the benefit of a standstill
period on the ability of the Second Priority Lienholders to exercise
certain lien-related remedies with respect to the Collateral (as defined
below), as described herein in “Exercise of Remedies; Standstill” and
“Bankruptcy”.

 

2

	 	 	 
	 

	 	The collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations and the First Lien
Obligations shall be identical and shall include substantially all of the
present and future assets (to the extent that a security interest can be
granted therein under applicable law) of the Company and the Guarantors
(the “Collateral”). Any additional collateral shall benefit the First
Lien Obligations and Second Lien Obligations in accordance with their lien
priorities.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The First Priority Liens and the Second Priority Liens will be created
under separate collateral documents; provided, however, that the
collateral documents for the Second Lien Obligations (collectively, the
“Second Lien Collateral Documents”) will be identical in form and
substance in all material respects to the collateral documents for the
First Lien Obligations (collectively, the “First Lien Collateral
Documents”). The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall, in connection with
the execution and delivery (as set forth below under “Authority”) of the
Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment thereto that is permitted by the
terms thereof), be authorized (subject to the ten (10) day period set
forth below under “Review of Documentation”) to execute and deliver any
amendment or modification to the Second Lien Collateral Documents in order
to conform the same to the comparable First Lien Collateral Documents, so
long as such amendment or modification would not (i) result in the release
of any Collateral, (ii) result in the Collateral securing the Second Lien
Obligations being less than substantially all the assets (to the extent
that a security interest can be granted therein under applicable law) of
the Company and the Guarantors or (iii) result in the Second Lien
Collateral Documents, after giving effect to such amendment or
modification, being materially less favorable to the Second Lien
Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Lienholders than the Second Lien
Collateral Documents as originally executed. The Intercreditor Agreement
shall provide for the First Lien Collateral Agent to act as bailee for
perfection for the Second Lien Collateral Agent for purposes of control or
physical possession of any Collateral in which a security interest is
or may be perfected by control or physical possession under applicable law;
provided, however, that upon discharge in full of the First Lien
Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent will promptly transfer
such Collateral to the Second Lien Collateral Agent.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Any waiver, amendment or consent with respect to any provision of the
First Lien Collateral Documents that is favorable to the First Priority
Lienholders shall be deemed to automatically apply to any applicable
provisions of the Second Lien Collateral Documents.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The subordination provisions for the Second Priority Liens will apply
notwithstanding, among other things, any defect or deficiency in the
creation, attachment or perfection of any First Priority Lien.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Second Priority Lienholders will agree not to seek to make any Second
Priority Lien pari passu with, or to obtain any preference or priority
over, any First Priority Lien.

 

3

	 	 	 
	 

	 	The Second Priority Lienholders will agree not to interfere with the
exercise of remedies by the First Priority Lienholders with respect to the
Collateral, subject to the ability of the Second Priority Lienholders to
exercise their remedies with respect to the Collateral as described herein
in “Exercise of Remedies; Standstill” and “Bankruptcy”.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The First Priority Lienholders will not object to the amount, validity,
priority or enforceability of the Second Priority Lienholders’ claims or
liens. The Second Priority Lienholders will not object to the amount,
validity, priority or enforceability of the First Priority Lienholders’
claims or liens.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	If any First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations are paid and such
payment or any part thereof is required to be returned or repaid, the
subordination terms with respect to the liens securing such obligations
shall be reinstated with respect thereto until again fully paid in cash,
subject to any limitation in the Intercreditor Agreement (as set forth
herein) on the maximum amount of such obligations then in effect.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The First Lien Obligations shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the
First Lien Cap Amount (as defined below); provided, however, that the
First Lien Cap Amount shall not limit the following: (1) interest accrued
and unpaid on the principal amount of the First Lien Obligations at the
applicable rate provided for in the Working Capital Facility (other than
any interest paid in kind and added to principal), (2)(i) the net amount of
interest rate swap obligations, (ii) the net amount of interest rate hedge
obligations and/or (iii) cash management obligations, if any, owed to any
person (or its affiliates) which is a lender or secured party under the
Working Capital Facility at the time such obligations are incurred, and
(3) customary fees and expenses of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the
First Priority Lienholders, in each case to the extent incurred pursuant
to, and to the extent reimbursable by the Company in accordance with, the
expense reimbursement and fee provisions to be contained in the Working
Capital Facility. As used herein, “First Lien Cap Amount” means $10
million, as reduced by the aggregate principal amount of (i) all
prepayments and repayments of term loans made under the Working Capital
Facility, (ii) all prepayments of revolving loans made under the Working
Capital Facility (to the extent accompanied by permanent reduction of
revolving commitments) and (iii) all other permanent reductions of
revolving credit commitments under the Working Capital Facility.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Second Lien Obligations will not be subordinated in right of payment
to the First Lien Obligations.

 

4

	 	 	 
	 

	 	The Second Priority Lienholders will be permitted, during the continuance
of an event of default with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, to
exercise the rights of unsecured creditors and to retain any amounts
obtained in respect of such obligations, except to the extent such amounts
constitute Collateral for the First Lien Obligations or proceeds of such
Collateral, which shall be segregated, held in trust and turned over to
the First Priority Lienholders. Nothing in the Intercreditor Agreement
shall prevent the Second Priority Lienholders from receiving scheduled
interest and/or principal payments so long as such payments are not
proceeds of Collateral resulting from the exercise of remedies by the
Second Priority Lienholders in contravention of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
	 
	 	 
	Review of
Documentation

	 	The Company shall provide copies of the proposed Working Capital Facility,
First Lien Collateral Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, and any
proposed amendments to the Second Lien Collateral Documents made to
conform the Second Lien Collateral Documents to the comparable First Lien
Collateral Documents, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and to any party
that confirms in writing to the Company that it (together with its
affiliates) is a beneficial holder of at least $4.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of Senior Secured Notes, at least ten (10) days prior to
execution thereof. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not execute the
Intercreditor Agreement or any such amendment to the Second Lien
Collateral Documents until at least five (5) business days after draft
copies thereof that are determined by the Company to be substantially
consistent with the final versions thereof have been provided to the
Second Lien Collateral Agent and such holders of Senior Secured Notes in
accordance with the preceding sentence.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Following effectiveness of the Working Capital Facility, in the event of
any proposed amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement, and/or any
proposed amendments to the Second Lien Collateral Documents made to
conform the Second Lien Collateral Documents to the comparable First Lien
Collateral Documents, the Company shall provide copies of such proposed
amendments and the amended First Lien Collateral Document to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and to any party that
confirms in writing to the Company that it (together with its affiliates)
is a beneficial holder of at least $4.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of Senior Secured Notes, at least five (5) business days prior to
execution thereof. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not execute
any amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement or any such amendment to the
Second Lien Collateral Documents until at least five (5) business days
after draft copies thereof that are determined by the Company to be
substantially consistent with the final versions thereof have been
provided to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and such holders of Senior
Secured Notes in accordance with the preceding sentence.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Promptly after execution thereof, the Company shall provide the Second
Lien Collateral Agent with copies of the Working Capital Facility, First

 

5

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Lien Collateral Documents, Intercreditor Agreement, any amendments
thereto, and any amendments to the Second Lien Collateral Documents.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Company shall pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel
for the Second Lien Collateral Agent designated by the Second Lien
Collateral Agent, and of one counsel for the holders of the Senior Secured
Notes designated by holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Senior Secured Notes, in reviewing, prior to execution, any
proposed Working Capital Facility, First Lien Collateral Documents,
Intercreditor Agreement, any proposed amendments thereto , and/or any
proposed amendments to the Second Lien Collateral Documents.
	 
	 	 
	Exercise of
Remedies;
Standstill:

	 	So long as any First Lien Obligations are outstanding, the Second Priority
Lienholders will be prohibited from (i) foreclosing on, or taking any
other enforcement action or exercising any other right or remedy
(including setoff) with respect to, the Collateral, and (ii) instituting
any action or proceeding for any such purpose with respect to the
Collateral, except that:

	 	o	 	the Second Priority Lienholders may take such actions as the Second
Priority Lienholders deem necessary or advisable to continue, create,
perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the perfection of the
Second Priority Liens;
	 
	 	o	 	the Second Priority Lienholders may take any enforcement action after
the passage of a period of 180 days (the “Standstill Period”) from the
earlier of (a) the scheduled maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes
(i.e., January 15, 2012) and (b) the later of (x) the date on which the
Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Senior Secured Notes (the “Notifying Holders”) have advised the
Company in writing of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Indenture and (y) the date on which the Trustee or the Notifying Holders
have notified the First Lien Collateral Agent in writing of such
occurrence; provided, however, that (i) the Second Priority Lienholders
may not exercise any such rights or remedies if, notwithstanding the
expiration of the Standstill Period, the First Lien Collateral Agent has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the exercise of its rights or
remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral
(prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Second Lien Collateral
Agent) at the time the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second
Priority Lienholders commences or proposes to commence such exercise of
rights or remedies and (ii) in no event shall such exercise of rights or
remedies on behalf of the Second Priority Lienholders affect the priority

 

6

	 	 	 	and other rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the rights of the
Second Lien Collateral Agent (with respect to any enforcement by the
Second Priority Lienholders) set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement; and
	 
	 	o	 	the Second Priority Lienholders may exercise rights in a bankruptcy
proceeding as described herein in “Bankruptcy”.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	So long as any of the First Lien Obligations are outstanding, any proceeds
of Collateral received in connection with the sale or other disposition
of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies, or
the value allocable to the Collateral, shall be applied by the First Lien
Collateral Agent to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified
in the relevant documents governing the First Lien Obligations
(collectively, the “First Lien Documentation”). Upon the discharge of the
First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to
the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Priority
Lienholders all remaining proceeds of Collateral held by it, to be applied
by the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the Second Lien Obligations in
accordance with the Indenture. After the discharge of the First Lien
Obligations, so long as any of the Second Lien Obligations are
outstanding, any proceeds of Collateral received in connection with the
sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the
exercise of remedies, or the value allocable to the Collateral, shall be
applied by the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the Second Lien Obligations
in accordance with the Indenture and the Security Documents.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Prior to the discharge of the First Lien Obligations, the Second Priority
Lienholders will not take or receive any Collateral or proceeds of
Collateral in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement and will agree
to pay over to the First Priority Lienholders any such Collateral or any
proceeds of any such Collateral that they may so receive.
	 
	 	 
	Restrictions on
Amendments to First
Lien Obligations
and Second Lien
Obligations:

	 	The Second Lien Obligations may be amended, increased, extended, renewed,
replaced or refinanced, with the amended, increased, extended, renewed,
replaced or refinanced obligations being entitled to the same benefits and
subject to the same limitations provided for in the Intercreditor
Agreement (as set forth herein), in each case subject to and in accordance
with the covenants in the Indenture; provided, however, that, without the
prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, any such
amendment, increase, extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing shall
not, directly or indirectly:

	 	o  contravene the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement;
	 
	 	o  increase the interest rate on the Second Lien Obligations to the extent
any such increased interest is payable in cash;

 

7

	 	o  change any default or event of default under the Indenture or the Second
Lien Collateral Documents in a manner adverse to the Company and the
Guarantors or confer any additional rights in favor of the Second Priority
Lienholders that are adverse to the Company and the Guarantors (other than
rights to receive reports or information prepared by the Company and/or
the Guarantors);
	 
	 	o  change to earlier dates any dates upon which payments of principal or
interest on the Senior Secured Notes are required to be made under the
Indenture; or
	 
	 	o  eliminate or restrict the Company’s right to pay all interest on the
Senior Secured Notes in kind prior to the earlier of (i) the maturity of
the Senior Secured Notes or (ii) the final maturity date for the Working
Capital Facility as in effect on the closing date therefor.

	 	The First Lien Obligations may be amended, increased, extended, renewed,
replaced or refinanced, with the amended, increased, extended, renewed,
replaced or refinanced obligations being entitled to the same benefits and
subject to the same limitations provided for in the Intercreditor
Agreement, in each case subject to and in accordance with the covenants in
the First Lien Documentation; provided, however, that, without the prior
written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Senior Secured Notes, any such amendment, increase, extension,
renewal, replacement or refinancing shall not, directly or indirectly:

	 	o  increase the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Obligations
(including loans, extensions of credit and commitments under the Working
Capital Facility) to an amount in excess of the First Lien Cap Amount;
	 
	 	o  increase the interest rate payable on the First Lien Obligations (or, if
interest on the First Lien Obligations is calculated by reference to an
index such as LIBOR or the prime rate, increase the applicable interest
rate margin) by more than 100 basis points; or
	 
	 	o  contravene the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (as set forth
herein).

	 	 	 
	Release of
Collateral or
Guarantors:

	 	In the event that the First Priority Lienholders release (a) a lien on all
or any portion of the Collateral or (b) any Guarantor from its obligations
under the First Lien Documentation, in either case in connection with (i)
the exercise of the First Priority Lienholders’ rights and remedies in

 

8

	 	 	 
	 

	 	respect of the Collateral, or (ii) any sale or other disposition of any
Collateral in any bankruptcy proceeding, subject to the applicable
conditions in the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to asset sales
supported by the First Priority Lienholders in bankruptcy proceedings, the
comparable lien or obligation in respect of the Second Lien Obligations
shall be released, so long as (x) the Second Priority Lien attaches to the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of Collateral and (y) the net proceeds
of any sale or disposition of Collateral are applied to repay and, to the
extent applicable, permanently reduce commitments with respect to, the
First Lien Obligations and/or to reduce the Second Lien Obligations;
provided, however, that the Second Priority Lienholders shall not be
required to release any liens (A) in connection with the discharge of the
First Lien Obligations (unless there is a similar discharge of the Second
Lien Obligations), (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of
any event of default under the Second Lien Obligations, other than in the
case of the First Priority Lienholders’ exercise of remedies described in
clause (i) above, or (C) in connection with the release of all or
substantially all of the Collateral, or the release of all or
substantially all of the aggregate value of the guarantees.
	 
	 	 
	Bankruptcy:

	 	The Second Priority Lienholders may:

	 	o	 	commence or participate in the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding
of the Company or any Guarantor;
	 
	 	o	 	file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien
Obligations;
	 
	 	o	 	vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim or make
other filings and make any arrangements and motions that are, in each
case, not inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement with
respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral; and
	 
	 	o	 	file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert
rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the debtors
arising under either any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or
applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case, not inconsistent with the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	The Second Priority Lienholders agree, in connection with any bankruptcy
proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary (except (i) with consent of
the requisite First Priority Lienholders, (ii) in conjunction with the
First Priority Lienholders, or (iii) if the First Priority Liens are
deemed fully secured or adequately protected/unimpaired by the bankruptcy
court):

 

9

	 	o	 	not to seek relief from the automatic stay in respect of the Collateral
or any lien thereon;
	 
	 	o	 	not to oppose or object to adequate protection sought by or granted to
any First Priority Lienholder;
	 
	 	o	 	to consent to and not oppose the use of cash collateral, so long as (x)
the use of such cash collateral is consented to or not objected to by
holders of the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Collateral Agent
and is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Second Priority
Lienholders, (y) such cash collateral order does not expressly require the
liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the cash collateral
order and (z) such Cash Collateral use together with the First Lien
Obligations does not exceed the First Lien Cap Amount;
	 
	 	o	 	to consent to and not oppose any DIP financing provided by the First
Priority Lienholders or others, including on a priming basis (to the
extent First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such
DIP financing), that is consented to or not objected to by holders of the
First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Collateral Agent; provided that
(a) such DIP financing does not compel the debtor to seek confirmation of
a specific plan of reorganization for which all or a substantial portion
of the material terms are set forth in the DIP financing or a related
document, (b) such DIP financing does not expressly require the sale or
liquidation of any Collateral prior to a default under the DIP financing
documents, (c) the amount of such DIP financing together with the First
Lien Obligations outstanding on the petition date does not exceed 110% of
the First Lien Cap Amount and (d) the Second Priority Lienholders retain
the right to propose any other DIP financing;
	 
	 	o	 	not to object to asset sales in any bankruptcy proceeding, including
under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, supported by the First Priority
Lienholders so long as (x) the Second Priority Liens continue in the
proceeds of the dispositions, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement (as set forth herein), and (y) the rights of the Second Priority
Lienholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., right to
bid on sale) are not impaired, unless (i) such objection is based on an
alternative transaction that would result in a better transaction, in
terms of pricing, consideration, terms and conditions, or otherwise, than
the

 

10

	 	 	 	proposed sale or (ii) such objection is based on an alternative
transaction that would result in the payment in full of the First Lien
Obligations;
	 
	 	o	 	not to oppose or object to the determination of the extent of any First
Priority Lien or the value of any claims of First Priority Lienholders
under §506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and
	 
	 	o	 	not to oppose or object to the payment of interest, reasonable fees,
reasonable expenses or other amounts under §506(b) or (c) of the
Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation post-petition interest, to
any First Priority Lienholder.

	 	 	 	In addition, the Second Priority Lienholders agree, in connection with any
bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary:

	 	o	 	that the First Priority Lienholders and Second Priority Lienholders
shall vote as separate classes on any plan of reorganization; and
	 
	 	o	 	that the Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
in accordance with its terms.

	 	 	 	The First Priority Lienholders agree, in connection with any bankruptcy
proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary:

	 	o	 	if the First Priority Lienholders are granted adequate protection
consisting of additional collateral (with replacement liens on such
additional collateral) or super-priority claims in connection with any DIP
financing or use of cash collateral, then in connection with any such DIP
financing or use of cash collateral, the Second Priority Lienholders may
seek or accept adequate protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement
Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the liens securing
the First Lien Obligations and such DIP financing on the same basis as the
other liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to
the First Lien Obligations, and (y) super-priority claims junior in all
respects to the super-priority claims granted to the First Priority
Lienholders;
	 
	 	o	 	not to oppose or object to the determination of the extent of any Second
Priority Lien or the value of any claims of Second Priority Lienholders
under §506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;
	 
	 	o	 	not to oppose or object to
the payment of interest, reasonable

 

11

	 	 	 	fees,
reasonable expenses or other amounts under §506(b) or (c) of the
Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation post-petition interest, to
any Second Priority Lienholder;
	 
	 	o	 	that the First Priority Lienholders and Second Priority Lienholders
shall vote as separate classes on any plan of reorganization; and
	 
	 	o	 	that the Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
in accordance with its terms.

	 	 	 
	Purchase Right:

	 	In the event that (1) an Event of Default relating to failure to make any
payment of principal, interest or other amount due to the First Priority
Lienholders under the Working Capital Facility occurs (after giving effect
to any applicable grace period therefor) under the Working Capital
Facility, (2) any other Event of Default occurs under the Working Capital
Facility which results in the acceleration of the First Lien Obligations
or other exercise of remedies or (3) an insolvency proceeding is commenced
with respect to the Company and/or any of the Guarantors, one or more of
the Second Priority Lienholders will have the option at any time to
purchase all of the First Lien Obligations then outstanding and unpaid in
cash, at par (together with (i) any accrued interest plus (ii) customary
fees and expenses owing to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First
Priority Lienholders, to the extent incurred pursuant to, and to the
extent reimbursable by the Company in accordance with, the expense
reimbursement and fee provisions contained in the Working Capital
Facility); provided that the Second Priority Lienholders shall also cash
collateralize any outstanding letters of credit issued under the Working
Capital Facility in an amount equal to the aggregate stated amount
thereof.
	 
	 	 
	Amendments to
Intercreditor
Agreement:

	 	The Intercreditor Agreement may be amended from time to time, so long as
(i) the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, as so amended, would comply
with the terms hereof and (ii) such amendment is approved by holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes;
provided, however, that approval of holders of Senior Secured Notes will
be not required for any amendment that (x) has the sole effect of adding
Collateral or adding Subsidiary Guarantors or of preserving, perfecting or
establishing the Liens in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the
rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent in respect thereof, or (y) does not reduce, impair or adversely
affect any rights of the Second Priority Lienholders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the approval of holders of at least 95% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes will be required for any
amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement that effects or results in (x) a release of any
Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its

 

12

	 	 	 
	 

	 	obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee (except under the circumstances expressly set forth in the
Indenture) or (y) a release of all or substantially all, or any material
portion, of the Collateral securing the Senior Secured Notes (except under
the circumstances expressly set forth in the Indenture).
	 
	 	 
	Governing Law:

	 	New York.
	 
	 	 
	Authority:

	 	As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of the
Intercreditor Agreement described herein (or any amendment thereto) and/or
the execution and delivery of any amendments or modifications to the
Second Lien Collateral Documents in connection therewith (as contemplated
hereby), the Company will provide the Second Lien Collateral Agent with
(i) a certificate of an executive officer of the Company and (ii) a legal
opinion of outside counsel to the Company, each confirming that the Second
Lien Collateral Agent has the authority under the Indenture (including the
terms of this Schedule A) and the Second Lien Collateral Documents to
enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (or such amendment thereto) and/or
such amendments or modifications to the Second Lien Collateral Documents,
if any, provided, however, that such counsel may rely on a certificate of
an executive officer of the Company as to whether (A) any limitation or
burden contained in the Intercreditor Agreement on, or other provision
contained in the Intercreditor Agreement adversely affecting, the rights
or remedies of the Second Priority Lienholders which is not expressly set
forth herein represents a material limitation or burden on, or materially
adversely affects, the rights or remedies of the Second Priority
Lienholders, and (B) any amendments or modifications to the Second Lien
Collateral Documents would (1) result in the Collateral securing the
Second Lien Obligations being less than substantially all of the
then-present and future assets (to the extent that a security interest can
be granted therein under applicable law) of the Company and the Guarantors
or (2) result in the Second Lien Collateral Documents, after giving effect
to such amendment or modification, being materially less favorable to the
Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Lienholders than the
Second Lien Collateral Documents as originally executed. Upon receipt of
such certificate and legal opinion (and subject to compliance with (or
waiver by the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any holder entitled to such
review as set forth in “Review of Documentation”) the applicable review
period set forth above under “Review of Documentation”), the Second Lien
Collateral Agent shall enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (or such
amendment thereto) and/or such amendments or modifications to the Second
Lien Collateral Documents, if any, so long as such documents are otherwise
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien
Collateral Agent. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to enter into any amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement or Second Lien
Collateral Documents if such amendment would adversely affect the rights,
duties,

 

13

	 	 	 
	 

	 	liabilities or immunities of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or
if it would require the Second Lien Collateral Agent to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties thereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 3.1. Delivery of Certificated Securities Collateral. Subject to the terms of
any Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time, each Pledgor represents and
warrants that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities
Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in suitable
form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment
in blank and that the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority security interest therein,
subject to Permitted Liens. Subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement that may be in

All certificated Securities Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall

substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Subject to the terms of any Intercreditor
Agreement that may be in effect from time to time, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, at
any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (a) to endorse,
assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in its name, its bailee or any of its nominees or
endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such
Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest hereunder, and (b) to exchange
certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger
denominations.

SECTION 3.2. Perfection of Uncertificated Securities Collateral. Each Pledgor
represents and warrants that the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority security interest
in all uncertificated Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder that are in existence on the date

any of the Pledged Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each
applicable Pledgor shall, subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect
from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) cause the issuer to execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Pledged Securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit 6 hereto, and (ii) upon request by the Collateral
Agent, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer,
execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the
pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Securities under the terms
hereof.

SECTION 3.3. Financing Statements and Other Filings; Maintenance of Perfected Security
Interest. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all financing statements, agreements,
instruments and other documents necessary to perfect the security interest granted by it to the
Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral have been delivered to the Collateral Agent
in completed and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, duly executed form for filing in each
governmental, municipal or other office specified in Section 2(a) of the Perfection Questionnaire.
Each Pledgor agrees that at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such

 

10

 

Pledgor will maintain the security interest created by this Agreement in the Pledged
Collateral as a perfected first priority security interest subject only to the Permitted Liens,
except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Indenture and subject to the terms of any
Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time.

SECTION 3.4. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and
priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in the Pledged Collateral, each Pledgor represents and warrants (as to itself) as follows
and agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect
to the following Pledged Collateral, subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement that may
be in effect from time to time:

(a) Instruments and Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof, no amounts payable under or
in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral are evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible
Chattel Paper other than such Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 6 to the
Perfection Questionnaire. As of the date hereof, each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel
Paper listed in Schedule 6 of the Perfection Questionnaire has been properly endorsed, assigned and
delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank. If any amount then payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged
Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, and such amount,
together with (x) all amounts payable evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper not
previously delivered to the Collateral Agent, (y) all amounts payable evidenced by Electronic
Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as described in subsection (d) below) in which the
Collateral Agent has not been vested control within the meaning of the statutes described in the
second sentence of subsection (d) below and (z) the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit for
which the actions described in clause (i) and (ii) of subsection (e) below have not been taken
exceeds, $20,000 individually and $75,000 in the aggregate, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument
or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt thereof) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time
to time reasonably request.

(b) Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof, all Deposit Accounts of each Pledgor are
listed in Schedule 10 to the Perfection Questionnaire other than Deposit Accounts in which such
Pledgor holds less than $20,000 individually and $75,000 in the aggregate (the “Excluded
Deposit Accounts”). The Collateral Agent has a validly attached security interest in each such
Deposit Account, which security interest is a first priority security interest perfected by Control
in each such account other than the Excluded Deposit Accounts, subject to Permitted Liens. No
Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Deposit Account other than Excluded Deposit
Accounts, unless (i) it shall have given the Collateral Agent prior written notice of its intention
to establish such new Deposit Account with a Bank and (ii) such Bank and such Pledgor shall have
duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with
respect to such Deposit Account. No Pledgor shall grant Control of any Deposit Account to any
person other than the Collateral Agent, subject to Permitted Liens and the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

 

11

 

(c) Investment Property. (i) As of the date hereof, no Pledgor has any Securities
Accounts or Commodity Accounts. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish any Commodity Account. No
Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account with any Securities
Intermediary other than Securities Accounts in which less than $20,000 individually and $75,000 in
the aggregate is held (the “Excluded Securities Accounts” and, together with the Excluded
Deposit Accounts, collectively, the “Excluded Accounts”), unless (x) it shall have given
the Collateral Agent prior written notice of its intention to establish such new Securities Account
with such Securities Intermediary, and (y) such Securities Intermediary and such Pledgor shall have
duly executed and delivered a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account. Each
Pledgor shall accept any cash and Investment Property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and within five (5) Business Day of actual receipt thereof, deposit any and all cash and
Investment Property (other than any Investment Property pledged pursuant to clauses (ii)(1),
(iii)(1) or (iii)(3) below) received by it into a Deposit Account or Securities Account subject to
Collateral Agent’s Control or an Excluded Account. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Pledgor
that the Collateral Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to
any issuer of uncertificated securities or Securities Intermediary, and shall not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and
withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this Section 3.4(c) shall not apply to
any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for which the Collateral Agent is the
Securities Intermediary. Subject to Permitted Liens, no Pledgor shall grant Control over any
Investment Property to any person other than the Collateral Agent.

(ii) If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities
constituting Investment Property, such Pledgor shall promptly, but in any event within ten
(10) Business Days, (1) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent,
accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or (2) deliver such
securities into a Securities Account with respect to which a Securities Account Control
Agreement is in effect in favor of the Collateral Agent.

(iii) If any Pledgor shall at any time own or acquire, directly or through a nominee,
any uncertificated securities constituting Investment Property, such Pledgor shall promptly
notify the Collateral Agent thereof and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (1) cause the issuer to agree to comply with
instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any
Pledgor or such nominee, (2) cause a Security Entitlement with respect to such
uncertificated security to be held in a Securities Account with respect to which the
Collateral Agent has Control or (3) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the
registered owner of such securities.

(iv) As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the
investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk
of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged Securities,
whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or deposit by, or
subject to the Control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, a Commodity
Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other person; provided, however, that the

 

12

 

foregoing shall not relieve or release any Securities Intermediary of its duties and
obligations to the Pledgors under any applicable Control Agreement or applicable laws.

(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. As of the date hereof, no
amount under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral is evidenced by any Electronic
Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction) other than such Electronic
Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule 6 to the Perfection Questionnaire. If
any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by
any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record exceeds $20,000 individually and $75,000 in
the aggregate, the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under
Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The
Collateral Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to
procedures satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in
the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic
Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may
be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section
16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of
control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into
account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable
record.

(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under a
Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in an amount equal to $20,000 individually and $75,000 in
the aggregate, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Pledgor
shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any
confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the
proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to
become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in
each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as
provided in the Indenture.

(f) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and
warrants that it holds no Commercial Tort Claims other than those listed in Schedule 11 to the
Perfection Questionnaire. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim
in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $250,000, such Pledgor shall immediately notify the
Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the
Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon
the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent.

 

13

 

(g) Motor Vehicles. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent originals of the certificates of title or ownership for the motor
vehicles (and any other Equipment covered by certificates of title or ownership) owned by it, with
the Collateral Agent listed as lienholder therein; provided, however, that no such
action shall be required if the fair market value of such vehicles or Equipment does not exceed
$20,000 individually and $75,000 in the aggregate.

(h) Intellectual Property. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and
warrants that it holds no Intellectual Property Collateral other than those listed in Schedule 9 to
the Perfection Questionnaire.

(i) Credit Card Receivables. Pledgors will use commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver to the Collateral Agent Credit Card Notifications executed by the Pledgors in respect of
all Credit Card Receivables. No Pledgor shall hereafter enter into any agreement with any Credit
Card Processor and/or Credit Card Issuer unless it shall have used its commercially reasonable
efforts to duly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Credit Card Notification with respect
to such agreement. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall not deliver any notice or instruction pursuant to any Credit Card Notification.

SECTION 3.5. Joinder of Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause
each Subsidiary of the Company which, from time to time, after the date hereof shall be required to
pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the provisions
of the Indenture, to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (a) a Joinder Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto within thirty (30) days of the date on which
it was acquired or created and (b) a Perfection Questionnaire, in each case, within thirty (30)
days of the date on which it was acquired or created upon such execution and delivery, such
Subsidiary shall constitute a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder
with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor and Pledgor herein.
The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor
hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this
Agreement.

SECTION 3.6. Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further
actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional financing statements,
amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent
may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate in order to create, perfect, preserve
and protect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and
interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or
better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Collateral Agent’s
security interest in the Pledged Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce
its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the
filing of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this
Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction
with respect to the security interest created hereby and the execution and delivery of Control
Agreements, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and in such offices
(including the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States

 

14

 

Copyright Office) wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity,
enforceability and priority of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein
and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, as
against third parties, with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or
deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon reasonable request by the Collateral Agent,
such lists, schedules, descriptions and designations of the Pledged Collateral, copies of receipts,
bank statements, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory
assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances, financing statements,
transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or
instruments as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name
of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall
be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection
thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of
the Pledgors.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, if any:

SECTION 4.1. Title. Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, such Pledgor owns
and has rights and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date
hereof, will own and have rights in each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free
and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. In addition, no Liens or claims exist on the
Securities Collateral, other than as permitted by the Indenture and the Permitted Liens.

SECTION 4.2. Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and the Lien on
the Pledged Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders hereunder
constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all the Pledged Collateral securing the
payment and performance of the Obligations, and (b) a perfected security interest in all the
Pledged Collateral to the extent required hereunder. The security interest and the Lien granted to
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement in and on the
Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected, continuing security interest therein,
prior to all other Liens on the Pledged Collateral except for Permitted Liens.

SECTION 4.3. Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Subject to the
Indenture, each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral
pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the
Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own
cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any
other Holder other than Permitted Liens. There is no agreement, order, judgment or decree by or
against any Pledgor, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that

 

15

 

would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impair or
conflict with such Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, other
than entering into, and as permitted by, the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 4.4. Other Financing Statements. No Pledgor has filed, nor authorized any
third party to file (nor will there be), any valid or effective financing statement (or similar
statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) covering
or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Pledged Collateral, except such as have been
filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or in favor of any holder of a
Permitted Lien with respect to such Permitted Lien or financing statements or public notices
relating to termination statements. No Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in
any public office any financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or
public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except
financing statements and other instruments filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the
security interests granted by such Pledgor to the holder of the Permitted Liens.

SECTION 4.5. Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization.
Each Pledgor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent prior written notice of any change (i) in its
corporate, limited liability company or partnership name, (ii) in the location of its chief
executive office or its principal place of business (including the establishment of any such new
office or facility), (iii) in its organizational structure or (iv) in its Federal taxpayer
identification number or state organizational number. The Collateral Agent may rely on advice of
counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a
result of any of the changes described above. If any Pledgor fails to provide information to the
Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or
responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such
Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have
information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about
such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties
acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to
search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.

SECTION 4.6. Due Authorization and Issuance. All of the Pledged Securities existing
on the date hereof have been, and to the extent any Pledged Securities are hereafter issued, such
Pledged Securities will be, upon such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued and, in the case of
Capital Stock of a corporation, fully paid and non-assessable. There is no amount or other
obligation owing by any Pledgor to any issuer of the Pledged Securities in exchange for or in
connection with the issuance of the Pledged Securities or any Pledgor’s status as a partner or a
member of any issuer of the Pledged Securities.

SECTION 4.7. Consents, etc. In the event that the Collateral Agent desires to
exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this
Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental
Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent,
such Pledgor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral
Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any
such remedies, rights and powers.

Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects.

SECTION 4.9. Insurance. In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are
paid to any Pledgor after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event
of Default, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
and immediately after receipt thereof shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for application in
accordance with Article X of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.10. Defaults, etc. Such Pledgor is not in default in the payment of any
portion of any mandatory capital contribution, if any, required to be made under any agreement to
which such Pledgor is a party relating to the Pledged Securities pledged by it. No Securities
Collateral pledged by such Pledgor is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim, nor have any
of the foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Pledgor by any person with respect thereto,
and as of the date hereof, there are no certificates, instruments, documents or other writings
(other than the Organizational Documents and certificates representing such Pledged Securities that
have been delivered to the Collateral Agent) which evidence any Pledged Securities of such Pledgor.

authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) hereof shall
immediately cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent,
which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such
Distributions.

extent required by the applicable Organizational Document to the pledge by each other Pledgor,
pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Securities in such partnership, limited liability
company or other entity and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
to the transfer of such Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to the
substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner, shareholder or member
in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity with all the rights, powers and

ARTICLE VI

CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY COLLATERAL

SECTION 6.1. Grant of Intellectual Property License. Subject to the terms of any
Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time, for the purpose of enabling the
Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to
exercise rights and remedies under Article VIII hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent
shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each
Pledgor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable (for so
long as such Event of Default is continuing), non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license or
(for third party rights) sublicense (subject to the Pledgor’s ability to grant such a sublicense)
to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or
hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located, effective only upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Such license or sublicense shall
include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.

SECTION 6.2. Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. On a continuing basis, each
Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof,
notify the Collateral Agent if any application or registration for any Material Intellectual
Property will become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse
determination in any proceeding (other than actions issued in the ordinary course of seeking
registration) or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state, local or foreign court or
administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States

 

19

 

Copyright Office regarding any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, such Pledgor’s right
to register such Material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to keep and maintain such
registration in full force and effect, (ii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Material
Intellectual Property Collateral, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or
administrative proceeding with respect to any such Material Intellectual Property Collateral, in
either case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment, (iii)
diligently keep reasonable records respecting all Intellectual Property Collateral and (iv) furnish
to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request therefor
reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the
Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to any
Intellectual Property Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor may dispose of Intellectual Property Collateral as permitted
under the Indenture.

SECTION 6.3. After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall at any time after the date
hereof (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or (ii) become
entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any renewal or
extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any
Intellectual Property Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, the
provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in the preceding
clause (i) or (ii) shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Collateral as if such would
have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to
the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each
Pledgor shall promptly provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and
confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable
to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably
necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such
Intellectual Property Collateral. Further, each Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify
this Agreement by amending Schedule 11 to the Perfection Questionnaire to include any Intellectual
Property Collateral of such Pledgor acquired or arising after the date hereof.

SECTION 6.4. Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of
Default, each Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party
in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such
applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other
actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in
value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to the terms of any
Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time, the Collateral Agent shall have
the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual
Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the
Holders to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event
of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all
lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such
enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for

 

20

 

all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under
this Section 6.4 in accordance with the Indenture. In the event that the Collateral Agent
shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral, each Pledgor agrees,
at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions
necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement,
counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral by any Person.

ARTICLE VII

CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING RECEIVABLES

SECTION 7.1. Maintenance of Records. Each Pledgor shall keep and maintain at its own
cost and expense reasonable and adequate records of each Receivable, in a manner consistent with
prudent business practice, including records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon,
all merchandise returned and all other documentation relating thereto. Each Pledgor shall, at such
Pledgor’s sole cost and expense, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand made at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, deliver all tangible evidence of
Receivables, including all documents evidencing Receivables and any books and records relating
thereto to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and
records may be retained by such Pledgor). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may transfer a full and complete copy of any Pledgor’s
books, records, credit information, reports, memoranda and all other writings relating to the
Receivables to and for the use by any person that has acquired or is contemplating acquisition of
an interest in the Receivables or the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein without the
consent of any Pledgor.

SECTION 7.2. Legend. Each Pledgor shall legend, at the request of the Collateral
Agent made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Receivables and the other
books, records and documents of such Pledgor evidencing or pertaining to the Receivables with an
appropriate reference to the fact that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Holders and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

SECTION 7.3. Modification of Terms, etc. No Pledgor shall rescind or cancel any
obligations evidenced by any Receivable or modify any term thereof or make any adjustment with
respect thereto except in the ordinary course of business consistent with prudent business
practice, or extend or renew any such obligations except in the ordinary course of business
consistent with prudent business practice or compromise or settle any dispute, claim, suit or legal
proceeding relating thereto or sell any Receivable or interest therein except in the ordinary
course of business consistent with prudent business practice without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent and except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. Each Pledgor shall timely
fulfill in all material respects all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection
with the Receivables.

SECTION 7.4. Collection. Each Pledgor shall cause to be collected from the Account
Debtor of each of the Receivables, as and when due in the ordinary course of business and

 

21

 

consistent with prudent business practice (including Receivables that are delinquent, such
Receivables to be collected in accordance with commercially reasonable collection procedures), any
and all amounts owing under or on account of such Receivable, and apply forthwith upon receipt
thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Receivable, except
that any Pledgor may, with respect to a Receivable, allow in the ordinary course of business (i) a
refund or credit due as a result of returned or damaged or defective merchandise and (ii) such
extensions of time to pay amounts due in respect of Receivables and such other modifications of
payment terms or settlements in respect of Receivables as shall be commercially reasonable in the
circumstances, all in accordance with such Pledgor’s ordinary course of business consistent with
its collection practices as in effect from time to time. The costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) of collection, in any case, whether incurred by any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent
or any Holder, shall be paid by the Pledgors.

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFERS

SECTION 8.1. Transfers of Pledged Collateral. No Pledgor shall sell, convey, assign
or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral pledged
by it hereunder except as expressly permitted by the Indenture or otherwise required by the
Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

ARTICLE IX

REMEDIES

SECTION 9.1. Remedies. Subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement that may
be in effect from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may from time to time exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral,
in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the
following remedies:

(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession
of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose and/or
sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises
where any of the Pledged Collateral is located, remove such Pledged Collateral and/or sell
or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive
copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and for
other purposes set forth in this clause (i) and use in connection with such removal,
possession, sale or other disposition, any and all services, supplies, equipment, aids and
other facilities of any Pledgor;

(ii) Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or
receivable in respect of the Pledged Collateral including instructing the obligor or
obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged
Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement,

 

22

 

instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with
any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other
modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event
that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such
obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant
thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event
later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral
Agent;

(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any
Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all
investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and
take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any
Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so
designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense:
(A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral
Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged
Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further
action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and
kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the
same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to
deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this Section 9.1(iv) is of the
essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such
obligation;

(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank,
financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Pledged
Collateral for application to the Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Obligations as provided in Article
X hereof;

(vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged
Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual
and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and

(viii) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the
UCC, and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as
specified in Section 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as
the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other
Holder or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or
recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be

 

23

 

entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase
price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such
sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of
the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at
such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire
the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part
of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all
rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at
which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at
such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale,
even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

SECTION 9.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be required
by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be
commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor
if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying
any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral
Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies
and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby
further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by
such taking of possession other than those caused by the Collateral Agent or its representatives or
agents, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements
with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of
redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any
applicable law. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon,
any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either
at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar
both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all Persons claiming or
attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof,
from, through or under such Pledgor.

SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

 

24

 

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules,
regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with
respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who
meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such
sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable
through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with
respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to
limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities
Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at
prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the
sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit
the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the
Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall
from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may
request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or
Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are
from time to time in effect.

(d) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Holders,
that the Collateral Agent and the other Holders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.4
shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees
not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for
a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with
respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of

 

25

 

any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral
Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or
guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Note Document by foreclosure,
sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such
case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Holder shall be restored to their
respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all
rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Holders shall
continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent,
each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the
registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and such other documents as are
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within ten (10) Business
Days of written notice thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall make available to
the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Pledgor’s power and authority, such personnel in
such Pledgor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
designate to permit such Pledgor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and
sell the products and services sold by such Pledgor under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or
Copyrights, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral
Agent’s behalf.

ARTICLE X

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

SECTION 10.1. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds
received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization
upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of
its remedies, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this
Agreement, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection
with such collection, sale or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any Note
Document or any of the Obligations, including without limitation all court costs and the fees and

Agent hereunder or under any other Note Document on behalf of any Pledgor, any other costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
other Note Document, and all other fees, indemnities and other amounts owing or reimbursable to the
Collateral Agent under any Note Document in its capacity as Collateral Agent or as Trustee;

 

26

 

SECOND, to interest due in respect of the Obligations which such Pledged Collateral secures;

THIRD, to the principal of the Obligations which such Pledged Collateral secures; and

FOURTH, to the Pledgors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Pledged
Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1. Concerning Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Indenture. The
actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Indenture. The
Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the
release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the
Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall
be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates, nor any of the representatives
or agents of the Collateral Agent or any such Affiliate, shall be liable to any Pledgor for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent such
representative or agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith
and shall only be liable for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a
court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent
may be appointed in the manner provided in the Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon
be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral
Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

 

27

 

(b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity,
accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that
neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Holders shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other
Holder has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

(c) The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of
any of the Pledged Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the
Liens in any of the Pledged 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 or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, as
determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, for the validity
or sufficiency of the Pledged Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the
validity of the title of any Pledgor to the Pledged Collateral, for insuring the Pledged Collateral
or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Pledged Collateral or otherwise
as to the maintenance of the Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any
representation or warranty to the present and future holders of the Obligations concerning the
perfection of the security interests granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Pledged
Collateral.

(d) The Collateral Agent may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested
or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations
under this Agreement.

(e) The Collateral Agent may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,
any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent
consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction,
notice or other writing delivered to it by any Pledgor in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any
fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Agent may act
in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or
receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions
hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(f) The Collateral Agent will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or
rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take such action.

 

28

 

(g) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand to the Collateral Agent the
amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which the Collateral
Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or
preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Pledged
Collateral, (iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof
applicable to it.

(h) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Note Documents, each
Pledgor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Collateral Agent against, and hold it harmless
from, any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery or performance of
this Agreement or any other Note Document or any Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from
time to time or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or to the Pledged Collateral, whether
or not the Collateral Agent is a party thereto, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this
Agreement or any of the Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect
from time to time; provided that such indemnity shall not be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by final and nonappealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

(i) Any such amounts payable as pursuant to paragraphs (g) or (h) under this Section 11.1
shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions
of paragraphs (g), (h) and this paragraph (i) under this Section 11.1 shall survive and
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, any
Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time or any Note Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment of any of the
Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, any
Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time or any Note Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Holder. All amounts due
under paragraphs (g), (h) and this paragraph (i) under this Section 11.1 shall be payable
on written demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in this Section
11.1, no Pledgor shall be under any obligation to reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any Claim arising from the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 11.2. Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this
Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required
insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special
assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and
landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and
warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of
the Pledged

 

29

 

Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of
such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any
Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it
to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity
of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and
when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the
Pledgors in accordance with paragraphs (g) and (h) of Section 11.1. Neither the provisions
of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant
contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event
of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full
power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or
otherwise, from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument, without the
consent of such Pledgor, consistent with the terms of the Indenture, this Agreement and the other
Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to
such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of
authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable
for the term hereof.

SECTION 11.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors,
their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Holders and
each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any
other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect
hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Holder may assign or
otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person, and
such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
such Holder, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Indenture.

SECTION 11.4. Termination; Release. This Agreement and the security interests granted
hereby shall terminate upon payment in full of the Obligations and satisfaction and discharge of
the Indenture and consistent with any Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to
time. Upon such termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral shall be released from the
Lien of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Upon such release or
any release of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the
Pledgors, do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release any Pledged Collateral
permitted to be released hereunder or under the Indenture.

SECTION 11.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement,
termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor

 

30

 

therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent. Any amendment,
modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and
any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or

Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner

hereunder are joint and several. The Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion,

Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, select the Pledged Collateral of any one
or more of the Pledgors for sale or application to the Obligations, without regard to the ownership
of such

 

33

 

Pledged Collateral, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Pledged
Collateral owned by all of the Pledgors. The release or discharge of any Pledgors by the
Collateral Agent shall not release or discharge any other Pledgors from the obligations of such
Person hereunder.

Intercreditor Agreement that may be in effect from time to time by and among a working capital
lender to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Company and the Pledgors from time to time party
thereto entered into in accordance with the Indenture. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

as the Intercreditor Agreement remains in effect, all requirements hereunder for physical
possession of Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent or Control of Pledged Collateral by the
Collateral Agent shall be satisfied for all purposes hereunder by physical possession by or Control

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Pledge and Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated,

INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in

any successors in such capacities, the “Pledgors,” and each, a “Pledgor”), in favor
of WILMINGTON TRUST FSB, in its capacity as collateral agent (in such capacity and together with

This Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the undersigned,
[                    ] (the “New Pledgor”), pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Security
Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be bound as a Subsidiary Guarantor and as a Pledgor
party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the
Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to
the Security Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor also hereby agrees

the Indenture, if any, to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory
to the Indenture on the execution date of the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral
security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (as defined in the Indenture), a Lien on
and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged
Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Subsidiary Guarantor and
Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and

 

Ex. 2-1

 

warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Pledgors contained in the
Security Agreement and the Indenture.

Concurrent with the execution of this Joinder Agreement, the New Pledgor shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a Perfection Questionnaire and supplements to each of the schedules to the
Security Agreement and the Indenture, as applicable, with respect to the New Pledgor. Such
supplements shall be deemed to be part of the Security Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable.

This Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

In acting under and by virtue of this Joinder Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have all
of the rights, protections and immunities granted to it under the Security Agreement, all of which
are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

This Joinder Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof (other than Sections
5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

 

Ex. 2-2

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Pledgor has caused this Joinder Agreement to be executed and
delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date first above written.

CONTROL AGREEMENT CONCERNING SECURITIES ACCOUNTS

This Control Agreement Concerning Securities Accounts (this “Control Agreement”),
dated as of [________ _____, 20_____] by and among [_____________] (the “Pledgor”), WILMINGTON
TRUST FSB, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and [_____________] (the
“Securities Intermediary”), is delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of that certain
Pledge and Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), dated as of November 13, 2009 made by the
Pledgor and each of the other parties listed on the signature pages thereto in favor of the
Collateral Agent, as pledgee, assignee and secured party. This Control Agreement is for the
purpose of perfecting the security interests of the Holders granted by the Pledgor in the
Designated Accounts described below. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

Section 1. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated
Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Securities
Intermediary has established for the Pledgor and maintains the account(s) listed in Schedule
I annexed hereto (such account(s), together with each such other securities account maintained
by the Pledgor with the Securities Intermediary collectively, the “Designated Accounts” and
each a “Designated Account”), (ii) each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner
set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) this Control Agreement is the
valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, (iv) the Securities
Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, (v) each
of the Designated Accounts is a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of
the UCC and (vi) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets which are
credited to any Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary,
endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset
credited to any Designated Account be registered in the name of the Pledgor, payable to the order
of the Pledgor or specially endorsed to the Pledgor, except to the extent the foregoing have been
specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. All parties hereto agree that each item of
Investment Property and all other property held in or credited to any Designated Account (the
“Account Property”) shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

Section 3. Entitlement Order. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall
receive an “entitlement order” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the
Collateral Agent and relating to any financial asset maintained in one or more of the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order

 

Ex. 4-1

 

without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Securities Intermediary shall
also comply with instructions directing the Securities Intermediary with respect to the sale,
exchange or transfer of any Account Property held in each Designated Account originated by a
Pledgor, or any representative of, or investment manager appointed by, a Pledgor until such time as
the Collateral Agent delivers a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 9(i) to the Securities
Intermediary. The Securities Intermediary shall comply with, and is fully entitled to rely upon,
any entitlement order from the Collateral Agent, even if such entitlement order is contrary to any
entitlement order that the Pledgor may give or may have given to the Securities Intermediary.

Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Securities Intermediary
hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or (except as provided in
the next sentence) right of setoff against, any Designated Account or any Account Property it now
has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent
in the Designated Accounts and the Account Property therein or credited thereto. The Securities
Intermediary agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against
any of the Designated Accounts or to assert against any of the Designated Accounts any present or
future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties)
that the Securities Intermediary may at any time have against or in any of the Designated Accounts
or any Account Property therein or credited thereto; provided, however, that the
Securities Intermediary may set off all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of
its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Designated
Accounts, including overdraft fees and amounts advanced to settle authorized transactions.

Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated Accounts
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other
agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s
jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the security entitlements related thereto)
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date hereof, there
are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor with
respect to any Designated Account or any security entitlements or other financial assets credited
thereto (other than standard and customary documentation with respect to the establishment and
maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor will not
enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated Account unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received prior written notice thereof. The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor have
not and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to (i) creation or perfection of any
security interest in or (ii) control of security entitlements maintained in any of the Designated
Accounts or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to
comply with entitlement orders with respect to any Account Property held in or credited to any
Designated Account as set forth in Section 3 hereof without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent acting in its sole discretion. In the event of any conflict with respect to
control over any Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any
other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Control Agreement shall
prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control

 

Ex. 4-2

 

Agreement or waiver of any rights hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is
in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.

Section 7. Certain Agreements.

(i) As of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has furnished to the Collateral
Agent the most recent account statement issued by the Securities Intermediary with respect
to each of the Designated Accounts and the financial assets and cash balances held therein,
identifying the financial assets held therein in a manner acceptable to the Collateral
Agent. Each such statement accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated Account
as of the date thereof.

(ii) The Securities Intermediary will, upon its receipt of each supplement to the
Security Agreement signed by the Pledgor and identifying one or more financial assets as
“Pledged Collateral,” enter into its records, including computer records, with respect to
each Designated Account a notation with respect to any such financial asset so that such
records and reports generated with respect thereto identify such financial asset as
“Pledged.”

Section 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the
Collateral Agent and of the Pledgor in the Account Property held in or credited to the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary on the date hereof does not know of any claim to, security
interest in, lien on, or encumbrance against, any Designated Account or Account Property held in or
credited thereto and does not know of any claim that any person or entity other than the Collateral
Agent has been given “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated
Account or any such Account Property. If the Securities Intermediary becomes aware that any person
or entity is asserting any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim (including any
writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of
control) against any of the Account Property held in or credited to any Designated Account, the
Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor thereof.

Section 9. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the obligations of the
Securities Intermediary in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain
the Designated Accounts as follows:

(i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Collateral Agent delivers to
the Securities Intermediary a notice instructing the Securities Intermediary to terminate
Pledgor’s access to any Designated Account (the “Notice of Sole Control”), the
Securities Intermediary agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all
instructions with respect to such Designated Account solely from the Collateral Agent,
terminate all instructions and orders originated by the Pledgor with respect to the
Designated Accounts or any Account Property therein, and cease taking instructions from
Pledgor, including, without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or
transfer of any financial asset maintained in any Designated Account. Permitting settlement
of trades pending at the time of receipt of such notice shall not constitute a violation of
the immediately preceding sentence. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees with the Pledgor to

 

Ex. 4-3

 

only deliver a Notice of Sole Control upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default and that it will revoke such Notice of Sole Control when such Event
of Default is no longer continuing.

(ii) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a
Notice of Sole Control, the Pledgor, or an investment manager on behalf of the Pledgor,
shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets
credited to any Designated Account.

(iii) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will send
copies of all statements and other correspondence (excluding routine confirmations)
concerning any Designated Account or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to
each of the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent at the address set forth in Section 11
hereof. The Securities Intermediary will provide to the Collateral Agent, upon the
Collateral Agent’s request therefor from time to time and, in any event, as of the last
business day of each calendar month, a statement of the market value of each financial asset
maintained in each Designated Account. The Securities Intermediary shall not change the
name or account number of any Designated Account without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

(iv) Perfection in Certificated Securities. The Securities Intermediary
acknowledges that, in the event that it should come into possession of any certificate
representing any security or other Account Property held in or credited to any of the
Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall retain possession of the same on
behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and such act shall cause the Securities
Intermediary to be deemed holding such certificate for the Collateral Agent, if necessary to
perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such securities or assets. The
Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges its receipt of a copy of the Security Agreement,
which shall also serve as notice to the Securities Intermediary of a security interest in
collateral held on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate
successors and permitted assignees.

 

Ex. 4-4

 

Section 11. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given
under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when
delivered in person, or when sent by telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation
of error free receipt is received or two (2) days after being sent by certified or registered
United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, the obligations of the Securities

Account Property held therein or credited thereto have been terminated pursuant to the terms
of the Security Agreement and the Collateral Agent has notified the Securities Intermediary
of such termination in writing.

(ii) The Securities Intermediary, acting alone, may terminate this Control Agreement at

Expenses.

Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Control Agreement, other than

To:    [Name and Address of Processor]

	 	 	 	 
	 

	Re:
	 	
                                        
                                         . The credit card processing agreement between [name of Pledgor] and
[name of Processor] (the “Processor”) dated                                          (the
“Processing Agreement”).

Dear Sir/Madam:

Under various agreements among [insert name of applicable Pledgor] (the “Pledgor”) and
WILMINGTON TRUST FSB, as collateral agent (in such capacity, herein the “Collateral Agent”)
for the benefit of the Holders of notes issued by Ambassadors International, Inc. (the
“Company”), the Pledgor has granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Holders, a security interest in and to, among other things, the Pledgor’s inventory, credit card
receivables, certain accounts, books and records relating to the foregoing, and proceeds therefrom,
including without limitation, all amounts due or to become due from the Processor to the Pledgor
pursuant to the Processing Agreement between the Processor and the Pledgor.

Under the terms and provisions of the agreements with the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor has
pledged all proceeds of the Pledgor’s accounts, accounts receivable and inventory to the Collateral
Agent. Such proceeds include all credit card charges (the “Charges”) submitted by the
Pledgor to the Processor for processing and the amounts which the Processor owes to the Pledgor on
account thereof (the “Credit Card Proceeds”) and all other amounts due or to become due to
the Pledgor under the Processing Agreement.

Upon receipt by the Processor of notification from the Collateral Agent as provided below, the
Processor shall transfer all amounts due from time to time from the Processor to the Pledgor
(including Credit Card Proceeds, payment from any reserve account or the like or other payments)
only as follows:

By ACH, Depository Transfer Check, or Electronic Depository Transfer to:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Bank Name:
	 	[                    ]
	 

	 	Location:
	 	[                    ]
	 

	 	ABA Routing No.:
	 	[                    ]
	 

	 	Credit Account No.:
	 	[                    ]
	 

	 	Reference:
	 	[                    ]

 

Ex. 8-1

 

After the Processor receives notification from the Collateral Agent, all amounts shall be
transferred as the Processor may be instructed from time to time in writing by the Collateral
Agent. After the Processor receives notification from the Collateral Agent that all obligations of
the Pledgor to the Holders have been paid in full, all amounts shall be transferred as the
Processor may be instructed from time to time in writing by the Pledgor.

Upon request of the Collateral Agent, a copy of each periodic statement provided by the
Processor to the Pledgor shall be provided to the Collateral Agent at the following address (which
address may be changed upon seven (7) days written notice given to the Processor by the Collateral
Agent):

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Wilmington Trust FSB
	 	 
	 

	 	[                    ]
	 	 
	 

	 	[                    ]
	 	 
	 

	 	Attention: [                    ]
	 	 
	 

	 	Facsimile No.: [                    ]
	 	 

The Processor shall be fully protected by Company in acting on any written order or direction
by the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the terms of this letter respecting the Charges
and the Credit Card Proceeds without making any inquiry whatsoever as to the Collateral Agent’s
right or authority to give such order or direction or as to the application of any payment made
pursuant thereto, provided that the Processor does not act with gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.

The Pledgor and the Processor each hereby confirm and agree that a true and correct copy of
the Processing Agreement as in effect on the date hereof is attached hereto as Exhibit A
and that no default has occurred and is continuing thereunder or circumstances exist which would
mature into a default thereunder upon notice, lapse of time or both.

This letter may be amended only by notice in writing signed by the Pledgor, the Collateral
Agent, and the Processor, and may be terminated solely by written notice signed by the Collateral
Agent.

Please acknowledge your receipt and agreement to the terms and provisions of this letter by
