        Upon
original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Notes (and all securities issued in
exchange therefor or in substitution therefor) shall bear substantially the following
legend:

                    requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified or in                     good standing could not, in the aggregate, reasonably

Purchasers) and delivered by the Company and each of the                     Guarantors,

Guarantors, will constitute a legal,                     valid and binding agreement of

Company and such Guarantors,                     as to matters covered thereby, to each
Initial Purchaser.  

        SECTION
2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Initial Purchasers. Each of
the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to, and agrees
with, the Company and the Guarantors, that:  

	 	        (a)    
                    Such Initial Purchaser is a QIB with such knowledge and experience in
financial                     and business matters as are necessary in order to evaluate

present intention of offering or                     selling any of the Notes and the
Guarantees in a transaction that would violate                     the Securities Act or
any state securities laws or any other applicable                     jurisdiction; (ii)
in connection with the Exempt Resales, will solicit offers to                     buy the
Notes and the Guarantees only from, and will offer to sell the Notes and
                    the Guarantees only to, the Eligible Purchasers in accordance with
this                     Agreement and on the terms contemplated by the Pricing

affiliates nor any persons acting on its behalf have engaged or                     will
engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Rule 902(c) of
                    Regulation S with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, and its
affiliates                     and all persons acting on its behalf have complied and
will comply with the                     offering restrictions requirements of Regulation

	 	        (d)    
                    Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of a
sale of                     Notes and Guarantees (other than a sale pursuant to Rule

Purchaser                     pursuant to Regulation S are and will be “offshore
transactions”                    within the meaning of Regulation S and are not and
will not be part of a plan or                     scheme to evade the registration
provisions of the Securities Act.

                    Such Initial Purchaser understands that the Company and, for purposes
of the                     opinions to be delivered to you pursuant to Section 7 hereof,

Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree with the Initial Purchasers:  

19 

	 	        (a)    
                    To advise you promptly and, if requested by you, to confirm such
advice in                     writing, of the issuance by the Commission or any state
securities commission of                     any stop order suspending the qualification
or exemption from qualification of                     the Notes and the Guarantees for

threatening of any proceeding for such purpose by the Commission                     or
any state securities commission or other regulatory authority. The Company
                    shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop
order or                     order suspending the qualification or exemption of the Notes
and the Guarantees                     under any state securities or Blue Sky laws and,
if at any time any state                     securities commission shall issue any stop
order suspending the qualification or                     exemption of the Notes and the
Guarantees under any state securities or Blue Sky                     laws, the Company
shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or                     lifting
of such order at the earliest possible time.  

	 	        (b)    
                    To furnish to you without charge, as many copies of each document
comprising a                     part of the Pricing Disclosure Package and any
amendments or supplements thereto                     and the Final Offering Memorandum
as you may reasonably request. The Company                     consents to the use of the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering                     Memorandum, and any
amendments and supplements thereto required pursuant to this
                    Agreement, by you in connection with the Exempt Resales that are in
compliance                     with this Agreement.  

	 	        (c)    
                    Not to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package or the
Final Offering                     Memorandum prior to the Closing Date or during the
period referred to in (d)                     below, unless you shall previously have
been advised of, and shall not have                     reasonably objected to, such
amendment or supplement within a reasonable time,                     but in any event
not longer than three days after being furnished a copy of such
                    amendment or supplement; provided, however, that prior to the
completion                     of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers
(as determined by the                     Initial Purchasers, but in any event through
the Closing Date), the Company will                     not file any document under the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference                     in the Pricing
Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum unless, prior                     to
such proposed filing, the Company has furnished the Initial Purchasers with a
                    copy of such document for their review and the Initial Purchasers
have not                     reasonably objected to the filing of such document. The
Company shall promptly                     prepare, upon any reasonable request by you,
any amendment or supplement to the                     Pricing Disclosure Package or the
Final Offering Memorandum that may be                     necessary or advisable in
connection with Exempt Resales. The Company shall                     promptly advise you
when any document filed under the Exchange Act that is                     incorporated
by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final                     Offering
Memorandum shall have been filed with the Commission.  

	 	        (d)    
                    If at any time following the issuance of any document included in the
Pricing                     Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum and prior
to the completion                     of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial
Purchasers (as determined by the                     Initial Purchasers, but in event
through the Closing Date), there occurs an                     event or development as a
result of which such documents included or would                     include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to                     state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
                    the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading,
or if it                     should be necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing
Disclosure Package or the                     Final Offering Memorandum to comply with
applicable law, the Company promptly                     will (i) notify the Initial
Purchasers of any such event; (ii) subject to the                     requirements of
paragraph (c) of this Section 5, prepare an amendment or                     supplement
that will correct such statement or omission or effect such
                    compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented or amended Pricing
Disclosure                     Package or Final Offering Memorandum to the Initial
Purchasers and counsel for                     the Initial Purchasers without charge in
such quantities as you may reasonably                     request. Clause (i) of the
first section of this paragraph (d) does not apply to                     statements in
or omission from any document in the Pricing Disclosure Package or
                    the Final Offering Memorandum in reliance upon and in conformity with
written                     information furnished to the Company by the Initial
Purchasers specifically for                     use therein, which information consists
solely of the information contained in                     Section 8(e).  

20 

	 	        (e)    
                    If, in connection with any Exempt Resales or market making
transactions after                     the date of this Agreement and prior to the
consummation of the Registered                     Exchange Offer, any event shall occur
or information becomes known that, in the                     judgment of the Company or
in your judgment or the judgment of counsel to you,                     makes any
statement of a material fact in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
                    Final Offering Memorandum untrue or that requires the making of any
additions to                     or changes in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Offering Memorandum                     in order to make the statements in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final                     Offering Memorandum, in the
light of the circumstances at the time that the                     Pricing Disclosure
Package and the Final Offering Memorandum is delivered to                     prospective
Eligible Purchasers, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend
                    or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum                     to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly

Final Offering Memorandum, as of the Closing                     Date, does not include
any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit                     to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
                    statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were                     made, not misleading, and since the date of the Pricing
Disclosure Package and                     the Final Offering Memorandum, no event has
occurred which should have been set                     forth in a supplement or
amendment to the Pricing Disclosure Package and the                     Final Offering
Memorandum; and

	 	        (D)    
                    The issuance and sale of the Notes and Guarantees by the Company and
the                     Guarantors hereunder has not been enjoined (temporarily or
permanently) by any                     court or governmental body or agency.  

	 	        (n)    
                    (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have
sustained since                     the date of the latest audited financial statements
included in the Pricing                     Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment                     or supplement thereto after
the date hereof) any loss or interference with its                     business from
fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered                     by
insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order
                    or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing
Disclosure                     Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and (ii) since
the Applicable Time                     there shall not have been any change in the
capital stock or long-term debt of                     the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or any change, or any development                     involving a
prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management,
                    financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of
operations of the                     Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set
forth or contemplated in the                     Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final
Offering Memorandum, the effect of                     which, in any such case described
in clause (i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of                     Lehman Brothers and
Citigroup, so material and adverse as to make it                     impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the                     Notes
and the Guarantees being delivered on such Closing Date on the terms and
                    in the manner contemplated herein and in the Pricing Disclosure
Package and the                     Final Offering Memorandum.  

	 	        (o)    
                    Subsequent to the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have
occurred in the                     rating accorded the Company’s debt securities by
any “nationally                     recognized statistical rating organization”,
as that term is defined by the                     Commission for purposes of Rule
436(g)(2) of the Securities Act and (ii) no such                     organization shall
have publicly announced or privately informed the Company                     that it has
under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications,
                    its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities.  

	 	        (p)    
                    Subsequent to the Applicable Time, there shall not have occurred any
of the                     following: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York
Stock Exchange or                     the American Stock Exchange or in the
over-the-counter market, or trading in any                     securities of the Company
on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market,                     shall have been
suspended or the settlement of such trading generally shall have                     been
materially disrupted or minimum prices shall have been established on any
                    such exchange or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or
by any other                     regulatory body or governmental authority having
jurisdiction, (ii) a banking                     moratorium shall have been declared by
Federal or state authorities, (iii) the                     United States shall have
become engaged in hostilities, there shall have been an                     escalation in
hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a
                    declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or
(iv) there                     shall have occurred such a material adverse change in
general economic,                     political or financial conditions (or the effect of
international conditions on                     the financial markets in the United
States shall be such) or there shall have                     occurred any other calamity
or crisis, including without limitation as a result                     of terrorist
activities after the date hereof, as to make it, in the judgment of
                    Lehman Brothers and Citigroup, impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the                     public offering or delivery of the Notes and the
Guarantees being delivered on                     such Closing Date on the terms and in
the manner contemplated herein and in the                     Pricing Disclosure Package

	 	        (q)    
                    The Initial Purchasers shall have received such other documents,
agreements,                     certificates and information as they shall have
reasonably requested.  

        All
opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers. 

        SECTION
8. Indemnification and Contribution.  

	 	        (a)    
                    The Company and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify
and hold                     harmless each Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers and
employees and each                     person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser
within the meaning of the                     Securities Act, from and against any loss,
claim, damage or liability, joint or                     several, or any action in
respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any                     loss, claim,
damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the
                    Notes and the Guarantees), to which that Initial Purchaser, director,
officer,                     employee or controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act or                     otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out                     of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a                     material fact contained
(A) in any document comprising a part of the Pricing                     Disclosure
Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or
                    supplement thereto or (B) in any blue sky application or other
document prepared                     or executed by the Company or the Guarantors (or
based upon any written                     information furnished by the Company or the
Guarantors) specifically for the                     purpose of qualifying any or all of
the Notes under the securities laws of any                     state or other
jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being
                    hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”)
or                     (C) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or
with the                     approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of
the offering of the                     Notes (“Marketing Materials”),
including any                     roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by
the Company (whether in                     person or electronically), (ii) the omission
or alleged omission to state in any                     document comprising a part of the
Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering                     Memorandum or in any
amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky                     Application or
Marketing Materials, any material fact required to be stated                     therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
                    circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any
act or                     failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any
Initial Purchaser in                     connection with, or relating in any manner to,
the Notes and the Guarantees or                     the offering contemplated hereby, and
which is included as part of or referred                     to in any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon                     matters
covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided, however, that the
                    Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to
                    the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of
competent                     jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action resulted                     directly from any such acts or failures to act
undertaken or omitted to be taken                     by such Initial Purchaser through
its gross negligence or willful misconduct),                     and shall reimburse each
Initial Purchaser and each such director, officer,                     employee or
controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other
                    expenses reasonably incurred by that Initial Purchaser, director,
officer,                     employee or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending or                     preparing to defend against any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as                     such expenses are
incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to                     any
liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have to any
                    Initial Purchaser or to any director, officer, employee or
controlling person of                     that Initial Purchaser.  

28 

	 	        (b)    
                    Each Initial Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify
and hold                     harmless the Company, the Guarantors, their officers, each
of their directors,                     and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the                     Securities Act, from and against any loss,
claim, damage or liability, joint or                     several, or any action in
respect thereof, to which the Company, the Guarantors                     or any such
director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under                     the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability
                    or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or                     alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any document comprising                     a part of the Pricing Disclosure Package, the
Final Offering Memorandum or in                     any amendment or supplement thereto,
or in any Blue Sky Application or                     (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state in any document comprising a                     part of the Pricing
Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or in any                     amendment
or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application any material
                    fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein,                     in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading,                     but in each case only to the extent
that the untrue statement or alleged untrue                     statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in                     conformity with
written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished                     to
the Company through Lehman Brothers by or on behalf of that Initial Purchaser
                    specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to
the                     information contained in Section 8(e) of this Agreement, and
shall reimburse the                     Company and any such director, officer or
controlling person for any legal or                     other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or any such director, officer                     or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing                     to
defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
                    expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in
addition to any                     liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise
have to the Company, the                     Guarantors or any such director, officer,
employee or controlling person.  

29 

	 	        (c)    
                    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8
of                     notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the
indemnified party                     shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying                     party under this Section 8, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the                     claim or the commencement of
that action; provided, however, that the                     failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability                     which it
may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been
                    materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that
the                     failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability                     which it may have to an indemnified party
otherwise than under this                     Section 8. If any such claim or action
shall be brought against an                     indemnified party, and it shall notify
the indemnifying party thereof, the                     indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent                     that it wishes,
jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to
                    assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the                     indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
the indemnified                     party of its election to assume the defense of such
claim or action, the                     indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
indemnified party under this                     Section 8 for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the                     indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable                     costs of
investigation; provided, however, that Lehman Brothers shall
                    have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly Lehman Brothers
and those                     other Initial Purchasers and their respective directors,
officers, employees and                     controlling persons who may be subject to
liability arising out of any claim in                     respect of which indemnity may
be sought by the Initial Purchasers against the                     Company under this
Section 8 if, in the reasonable judgment of Lehman                     Brothers, it
is advisable for Lehman Brothers and those Initial Purchasers,
                    directors, officers, employees and controlling persons to be jointly
represented                     by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and
expenses of such separate                     counsel shall be paid by the Company. No
indemnifying party shall                     (i) without the prior written consent
of the indemnified parties (which                     consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), settle or compromise or consent to                     the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,                     action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
                    may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are
actual or                     potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or                     consent includes an unconditional release
of each indemnified party from all                     liability arising out of such
claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not                     include any findings
of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the                     indemnified
party or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action
                    effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably                     withheld), but if settled with the consent of the
indemnifying party or if there                     be a final judgment of the plaintiff
in any such action, the indemnifying party                     agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any                     loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  

30 

	 	        (d)    
                    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for
any reason                     be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under                     Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any
loss, claim, damage or liability, or                     any action in respect thereof,
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party                     shall, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount                     paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim,
                    damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such
proportion as                     shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on                     the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on
the other from the offering of the                     Notes and the Guarantees or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) above                     is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to                     reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
                    the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial
Purchasers                     on the other with respect to the statements or omissions
which resulted in such                     loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in
respect thereof, as well as any                     other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the                     Company on the
one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to                     such
offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
                    proceeds from the offering of the Notes and the Guarantees purchased
under this                     Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company, on the one hand,                     and the total discounts and commissions
received by the Initial Purchasers with                     respect to the Notes and the
Guarantees purchased under this Agreement, on the                     other hand, bear to
the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Notes and                     the
Guarantees under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by
                    reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact                     or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information                     supplied by the Company or the Initial
Purchasers, the intent of the parties and                     their relative knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or                     prevent such
statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial
                    Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions                     pursuant to this Section 8 were to be determined by pro
rata allocation (even if                     the Initial Purchasers were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any                     other method of allocation which
does not take into account the equitable                     considerations referred to
herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified                     party as a
result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
                    thereof, referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to
include, for                     purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other
expenses reasonably                     incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending                     or preparing to defend any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions                     of this Section 8(d),
no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute                     any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes
                    purchased by it was resold to Eligible Purchasers exceeds the amount
of any                     damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or
become liable to pay                     by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged                     omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning                     of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution                     from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
                    Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in
this                     Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective
purchase                     obligations and not joint.  

	 	        (e)    
                    The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the Company and the
Guarantors                     acknowledge that the last sentence on the cover page of
the Final Offering                     Memorandum, and the fifth, sixth and ninth
paragraphs under the section entitled                     “Plan of Distribution” in
the Final Offering Memorandum constitute the                     only information
concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the                     Company
by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in
                    the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering
Memorandum.  

        SECTION
9. Defaulting Initial Purchasers.  

31 

        If,
on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated
to purchase the Notes that the defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase
on such Closing Date in the respective proportions which the amount of the Notes set forth
opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I
hereto bears to the total amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the
remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided,
however, that the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated
to purchase any of the Notes on such Closing Date if the total amount of the Notes which
the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on
such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on such Closing Date,
and any remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase more
than 110% of the amount of Notes which it agreed to purchase on such Closing Date pursuant
to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to
Lehman Brothers who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to
purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all of the Notes to be
purchased on such Closing Date. If the remaining Initial Purchasers or other Initial
Purchasers satisfactory to Lehman Brothers do not elect to purchase the Notes which the
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such
Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will continue to
be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 6 and 11. As
used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser”
includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any
party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases
the Notes which a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase. 

        Nothing
contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have
to the Company and the Guarantors for damages caused by its default. If other Initial
Purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing
Initial Purchaser, either the Lehman Brothers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date
for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of
counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other document or
arrangement. 

        SECTION
10. Termination. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be
terminated by Lehman Brothers by notice given to and received by the Company prior to
delivery of and payment for the Notes if, prior to that time, any of the events described
in Sections 7(n), 7(o) and 7(p) shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers shall
decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement.  

        SECTION
11. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If the Company and the
Guarantors shall fail to deliver the Notes and the Guarantees to the Initial Purchasers
by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company and the
Guarantors to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other
condition of the Initial Purchasers’ obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled
by the Company and the Guarantors is not fulfilled, the Company and the Guarantors will
reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with
this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Notes and the Guarantees, and upon demand
the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the full amount thereof to Lehman Brothers.  

32 

        SECTION
12. Research Independence. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial
Purchasers’research analysts and research departments are required to be independent
from their respective investment banking division and are subject to certain regulations
and internal policies, and that such Initial Purchasers’ research analysts may hold
and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with
respect to the Company and/or the Notes offering that differ from the views of its
investment bankers. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Initial Purchasers
with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views
expressed by its independent research analysts and research department may be different
from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Initial
Purchaser’s investment banking division. The Company acknowledges that each of the
Initial Purchasers is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time,
subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the
account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of
the companies which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.  

        SECTION
13. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with
this offering, sale of the Notes or any other services the Initial Purchasers may be
deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory
or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or
subsequently made by the Initial Purchasers: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship
between the Company and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on
the other, exists; (ii) the Initial Purchasers are not acting as advisors, expert or
otherwise, to the Company, including, without limitation, with respect to the
determination of the offering price of the Notes, and such relationship between the
Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, is entirely and
solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations
that the Initial Purchasers may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and
obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Initial Purchasers and their
affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company hereby
waives any claims that the Company may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect
to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

the Initial Purchasers by Lehman Brothers.

(Dollars in thousands) 

	(1)  	Please
refer to the Preliminary OM for a definition of “Adjusted           EBITDA.”

The following table reconciles net
income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2006:  

PRO FORMA ADJUSTED
EBITDA RECONCILIATION 

(In thousands) 

	 	(a) 	Reflects
the impact of the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated
                    with the existing debt that is being refinanced. 

	(2)  	Interest
expense has been calculated on a pro forma basis using interest rates
                    for the Refinancing Transactions as if they had occurred at the
beginning of the                     period. Also excludes the impact of the write-off of
unamortized debt issue                     costs associated with the existing debt that
is being refinanced. 

	(3)  	As
adjusted to reflect the Refinancing Transactions and the application of the
                    proceeds therefrom as described in “Use of Proceeds” below. 

USE OF PROCEEDS 

We expect to receive net proceeds of
approximately $170.6 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount, from
the sale of the notes. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with
the net proceeds of our concurrent sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
borrowings under our new senior credit facility to, among other things: 

	 	• 	refinance
our existing indebtedness;

	 	• 	redeem
our Existing Redeemable Preferred Stock; and

	 	• 	pay
related tender premiums, transaction fees and expenses.

The following table illustrates the
estimated sources and uses of funds relating to the Refinancing Transactions as if the
Refinancing Transactions had occurred on March 31, 2006. The actual amounts set forth in
the table and in the accompanying footnotes are subject to adjustment and may differ at
the time of the consummation of the Refinancing Transactions, depending on several
factors, including differences from our estimate of fees and expenses and our cash and
existing revolver balances at the time of closing. 

An affiliate of one of the initial
purchasers is a participating lender under our existing revolving credit facility, and as
such, will receive a portion of the proceeds from this offering that are used to repay
amounts outstanding under the credit facility. 

SOURCES & USES 

(In millions) 

	(1)  	Revolving
credit facility is expected to have approximately $75.0 million of
                    total borrowing capacity. 

	(2)  	Reflects
the repayment of $12.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our
                    existing revolver subsequent to March 31, 2006. Our existing
revolving credit                     facility matures on September 30, 2009 and bears
interest at a variable rate,                     which was 9.6% at March 31, 2006. 

	(3)  	Our
existing term loan facility matures on September 30, 2009 and bears interest
                    at a variable rate, which was 8.7% at March 31, 2006. 

	(4)  	For
purposes of this table, we have assumed that all of our                     10(3)/8%
Senior Notes due 2009 will be tendered in the                     tender offer. We intend
to redeem any and all of our                     10(3)/8% Senior
Notes not tendered in the tender offer.                     The 10(3)/8%
Senior Notes are currently redeemable at a                     redemption price equal to
105.188% of the outstanding principal amount plus                     accrued and unpaid
interest. 

	(5)  	For
purposes of this table, we have assumed that all of our                     11(1)/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 will be                     tendered in the tender
offer. We intend to redeem any and all of our                     11(1)/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes not tendered in the                     tender offer. On June
15, 2006, the 11(1)/4% Senior                     Subordinated
Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to 102.813% of
                    the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. 

	(6)  	Includes
a tender premium of 2.5% and 0.2% on the 10(3)/8%
                    Senior Notes and 11(1)/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes,                     respectively, and a consent premium of $30 per $1,000
aggregate principal amount                     of such Senior Notes and Senior
Subordinated Notes tendered on or prior to the                     consent date set forth
in the tender offer documents. Also includes accrued and                     unpaid
interest on the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes to, but not
                    including, the settlement date. For purposes of this table, we have
assumed that                     all of the outstanding 10(3)/8%
Senior Notes and                     11(1)/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes will be tendered on or                     prior to such consent date. Includes
accrued and unpaid dividends on the                     Existing Redeemable Preferred
Stock through and including the date of                     redemption, which we expect
to occur on or about 30 days after the closing of                     this offering. 

CAPITALIZATION

          existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions
          of organization, and are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing

except           where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, in
the           aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
          condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, stockholders’          equity,
properties, business or prospects of the Company and the Guarantors           taken as a

validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due

          constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable
          against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
          bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
          other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies

          including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
          (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in
          equity)  

        10.              The
Notes are in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The Notes have been           duly

          obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
          their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, subject to
applicable           bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and           other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
and remedies           generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity,           including principles of commercial reasonableness, good
faith and fair dealing           (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in           equity).  

        12.              The
Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the respective
          Guarantors and, assuming due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee, upon

          subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including
          principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless           of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in

        13.              The
Exchange Note Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized by the
          Guarantors, and when executed, issued and delivered in exchange for the
          Guarantees in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement,
          the Exchange Offer and the Indenture, will constitute legal, valid and binding
          obligations of each of the Guarantors enforceable against each of the
Guarantors           in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency,           fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar

          principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless           of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in
equity).  

        14.              The
Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
          Credit Documents and the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement conform in all
          material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Pricing
          Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.  

        15.              None
of the Company or the subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate of
          incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational document), to such
          counsel’s knowledge, in breach or violation of any statute, judgment,
          decree, order, rule or regulation applicable to any such breach or violation
          which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
          Effect, or in breach or default under (nor has any event occurred which, with
          notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a default under) or in
          violation of any of the terms or provisions of any material document, agreement
          or other instrument known to such counsel (including in any event any of the
          foregoing which have been filed by the Company with the Commission), except for
          any such breach, default, violation or event which would not, individually or
in           the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.  

        16.              The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company and each of the           Guarantors
of the Operative Documents, the Credit Documents and the Preferred           Stock
Purchase Agreement to which it is a party, the consummation of the           Transactions
and compliance by the Company and each of the Guarantors with the           provisions
thereof, and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees as           provided
pursuant to the Agreement, will not conflict with, constitute a default           under
or violate (a) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the
          certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational
          document) of the Company and each of the Guarantors, (b) any of the terms,
          conditions or provisions of any material document, agreement or other
instrument           to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party, (c) any
New York,           Delaware corporate or federal law or regulation (other than federal
securities           laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph and
state           securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion), or (d) any
          judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court or
governmental           authority binding on the Company or any of the Guarantors of which
we are aware.  

        17.              No
consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or
          filing with any governmental authority is required in connection with the
          execution and delivery by the Company and each of the Guarantors of the
          Operative Documents, the Credit Documents and the Preferred Stock Purchase
          Agreement to which it is a party or the consummation by the Company and each of
          the Guarantors of the Transactions, or the issuance and sale by the Company of
          the Notes and the Guarantees as provided in the Agreement, except for (a)
          federal securities laws (as to which we express no opinion in this
          paragraph) and state securities or blue sky laws (as to which we express
no           opinion) and (b) those already obtained and which are in full force and
effect.  

        18.              The
Company and its subsidiaries have obtained all Permits necessary to conduct           the
businesses now or proposed to be conducted by them as described in the           Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, the lack of which           would,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and           each of
the Company and its subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its
          obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which
allows,           or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination
thereof           or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder
of any           such Permit.  

        19.              To
the best of such counsel’s knowledge, the Company and its subsidiaries           own
or possess adequate licenses or other rights to use all patents, trademarks,
          service marks, trade names, copyrights and know-how necessary to conduct the
          businesses now or proposed to be operated by them as described in the Pricing
          Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, and none of the Company
or           its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with
          asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, trademarks, service
          marks, trade names, copyrights or know-how which, if such assertion of
          infringement or conflict were sustained, would have a Material Adverse Effect.  

        20.              To
our knowledge, except as contemplated by the Preferred Stock Purchase
          Agreement, there are no holders of securities of the Company or any of the
          Guarantors who, by reason of the execution by the Company and each of the
          Guarantors of the Agreement or the consummation by the Company and each of the
          Guarantors of the transactions contemplated thereby, have the right, pursuant
to           any material document, agreement or other instrument to which either the
Company           or any of the Guarantors is a party, to request or demand that the
Company or           any of the Guarantors register under the Securities Act securities
held by them.  

        21.              Assuming
(i) the representations of the Initial Purchasers contained in the           Agreement
are true, correct and complete and (ii) compliance by the Initial           Purchasers
with their covenants set forth in the Agreement, it is not necessary           in
connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes to the Initial
          Purchasers pursuant to the Agreement or the offer and resales of the Notes by
          the Initial Purchasers, in the manner contemplated by the Agreement and
          described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum,
          to register the Notes under the Securities Act or to qualify the Indenture
under           the Trust Indenture Act.  

        22.              To
our knowledge, other than as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and
          the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental proceedings
          pending or overtly threatened to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is           a party or of which any property or assets of the Company or any of its
          subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or
any           of its subsidiaries, might have a Material Adverse Effect.  

        23.              To
the knowledge of such counsel, there are no legal or governmental proceedings
          involving or affecting the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their
          respective properties or assets which would be required to be described in a
          prospectus pursuant to the Act that are not described in the Pricing Disclosure
          Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, nor are there any material contracts
          or other documents which would be required to be described in a prospectus
          pursuant to the Act that are not described in the Pricing Disclosure Package
and           the Final Offering Memorandum  

        24.              Neither
the consummation of the Transactions nor the sale, issuance, execution           or
delivery of the Notes will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of
          Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  

        25.              The
statements made in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
          Memorandum under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax
          Considerations” insofar as such statements purport to constitute
statements           of law or legal conclusions are accurate in all material respects.  

        26.              The
statements made or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure           Package
and the Final Offering Memorandum under the captions “Description           of Other
Indebtedness and Preferred Stock,” “Description of the           Notes,” “Business
– Government Regulation,” “Business           – Legal Proceedings,” “Certain
Relationships and Related Party           Transactions,” “Notice to Investors” and
“Plan of           Distribution,” in each case insofar as such statements
constitute summaries           of legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to
therein, fairly present           the information called for which respect to such legal
matters, documents and           proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to
therein in all material           respects.  

        27.              The
Company and each of the Guarantors is not and, after giving effect to the
          issuance and sale of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Agreement
and           the application of the net proceeds therefrom, will not be, an “investment
          company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
          amended.  

        28.              Each
of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, as of           its
date (except for the financial statements, including the notes thereto, pro
          forma financial statements and other financial and statistical data included or
          incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion), contains
          the information specified in, and meets the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4)
          under the Securities Act.  

        29.              When
the Notes and the Guarantees are issued and delivered pursuant to the
          Agreement, no securities of the same class (within the meaning of Rule
          144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act) as the Notes or the Guarantees of the
          Company or the Guarantors will be listed on any national securities exchange
          registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
          or quoted on an automated inter-dealer quotation system.  

        We
have participated in conferences with the officers and other representatives of the
Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent public accountants for the
Company and the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers
in connection with the preparation of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final
Offering Memorandum and although we have not independently verified and are not passing
upon and assume no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the
statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum
(except to the extent specified in paragraphs 25 and 26 above), no facts have come to our
attention which lead us to believe that the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final
Offering Memorandum, at any time from the date thereof through the date of the Closing,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood
that we express no view with respect to the financial statements and related notes, the
financial projections, the other financial, statistical and accounting data included in or
appended as exhibits to the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum).HANGER ORTHOPEDIC

        (a)    General.
The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of           authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is           hereby incorporated in
and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may           have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or           usage. Each
Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall           be in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The terms and
          provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
          made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their
          execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
          provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any
          Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of
          this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  

        (b)    Form
of Notes. The Notes shall be issued initially in           global form and
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto           (including the
Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of           Interests in
the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive           form shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but           without the
Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of           Exchanges of
Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global           Note shall
represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein           and each
shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
          outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate
          principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time
          be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.
          Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or
          decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
          thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the
          Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as
required           by Section 2.06 hereof.  

        (c)    Book-Entry
Provisions. This Section 2.01(c) shall only           apply to Global
Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the           Depositary. Participants
and Indirect Participants shall have no rights under           this Indenture with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the           Depositary or by the
Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under such           Global Note, and the
Depositary shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and           any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global           Note 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 Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary           and its
Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the
          operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of
the           rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Authentication.

Officers shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile           signature.  

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

        (c)              A
Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the
          Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been
          authenticated under this Indenture.  

        (d)              The
Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an
          “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for
          original issue.  

        (e)              The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
          authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the
          Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
          Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
          same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.  

        (f)              The
Company may issue Additional Notes from time to time after the offering of           the
Initial Notes. The Initial Notes, the Exchange Notes and any Additional           Notes
subsequently issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single           class for
all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation,           waivers,
amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

Paying Agent.

          registration of transfer or for exchange           (“Registrar”)
and an office or agency where Notes           may be presented for payment (“Paying
Agent”).           The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes
and of their transfer and           exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more           additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes
any           co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
          paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
          notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
          name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company
          fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the
          Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
          Paying Agent or Registrar.  

        (b)              The
Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company           (“DTC”)
to act as Depositary with respect to the           Global Notes.  

        (c)              The
Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying           Agent
and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.  

Section 2.04.     Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

        The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money
held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by
the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over
to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no
further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money
held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to
the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

20 

Section 2.05.     Holder Lists. 

        The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply
with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and
at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of
such date or such shorter time as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Company shall otherwise comply
with TIA § 312(a). 

Section 2.06.     Transfer and
Exchange. 

        (a)    
Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may
               not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
               Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another
               nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
               successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global
Notes                will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if (1) the
Company                delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is
unwilling or                unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no
longer a clearing                agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either
case, a successor                Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120
days after the date of                such notice from the Depositary or (2) the Company
in its sole discretion and                subject to the procedures of the Depositary
determines that the Global Notes (in                whole but not in part) should be
exchanged for Definitive Notes and deliver a                written notice to such effect
to the Trustee; or (3) an Event of Default shall                have occurred and be
continuing. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding                events in (1), (2)
or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in                denominations of $1,000
or integral multiples thereof and in such names as the                Depositary shall
instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or                replaced, in
whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof.                Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global                Note
or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or
               2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and
shall be,                a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another
Note other than as                provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note                may be transferred and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f)                hereof.  

        (b)    
Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global                Notes.
The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the                Global Notes
shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the
               provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial
interests                in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions
on transfer                comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by
the Securities                Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes
also shall require                compliance with either clause (i) or (ii) below, as
applicable, as well as one                or more of the other following clauses, as
applicable:  

	 	        (i)    
Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial
               interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who

Restricted                Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set
forth in the                Private Placement Legend; provided, however,
that prior to the                expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period,
transfers of beneficial                interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not
be made to a U.S. Person or                for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person

Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to                Persons who take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an                Unrestricted Global
Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to                be delivered
to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section
               2.06(b)(i).  

	 	        (ii)    
All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global

of                such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A)(1) a

Depositary                to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in
another Global Note                in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
transferred or exchanged and                (2) instructions given in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures                containing information regarding the
Participant account to be credited with                such increase or (B)(1) a
written order from a Participant or an Indirect                Participant given to the
Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures                directing the
Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount                equal to
the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and                (2) instructions
given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing                information regarding
the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be                registered to

               consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with
Section                2.06(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall
be deemed to                have been satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the
instructions contained                in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the
Holder of such beneficial                interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon
satisfaction of all of the                requirements for transfer or exchange of
beneficial interests in Global Notes                contained in this Indenture and the
Notes or otherwise applicable under the                Securities Act, the Trustee shall
adjust the principal amount of the relevant                Global Note(s) pursuant to

in a Global                     Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
registration of transfer or                     exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any                     transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith                     (other than any
such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
                    exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.12, 4.18 and
9.05                     hereof).  

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

	 	        (iv)    
                    Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required (A) to issue,
to                     register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period
beginning at                     the opening of business 15 days before the day of any
selection of Notes for                     redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and
ending at the close of business on the                     day of selection, (B) to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so                     selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of                     any
Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to
                    exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding
Interest Payment                     Date.  

30 

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

	 	        (vi)     
                    The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in
accordance                     with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.  

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

	 	        (viii)    
                    The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into a letter of
representation with                     the Depository in the form provided by the
Company and to act in accordance with                     such letter.  

Section 2.07.     Replacement Notes. 

        If
any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or
the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and
any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.
The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

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

Section 2.08.     Outstanding Notes. 

        (a)              The
Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee
          except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
          reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in
          accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08
          as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not
          cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds           the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company           shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b)
hereof.  

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

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

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

31 

Section 2.09.     Treasury Notes. 

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

Section 2.10.     Temporary Notes. 

        Until
certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary
Notes. 

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

Section 2.11.     Cancellation. 

        The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee upon direction by the Company and no one
else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record
retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 

Section 2.12.     Defaulted Interest. 

        If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the
Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in
Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment.
The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date,
provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date,
the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at
the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest
to be paid. 

Section 2.13.     CUSIP or ISIN
Numbers. 

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

Section 2.14.     Additional
Interest. 

32 

        If
Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement and paragraph 1 of the Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is
payable and (ii) the date on which such interest is payable. Unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate or instruction or direction
from the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee may assume
without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. The foregoing shall not prejudice
the rights of the Holders with respect to their entitlement to Additional Interest as
otherwise set forth in this Indenture or the Notes and pursuing any action against the
Company directly or otherwise directing the Trustee to take any such action in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. If the Company has paid Additional
Interest directly to the persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment. 

ARTICLE 3.  

REDEMPTION AND
PREPAYMENT 

Section 3.01.     Notices to Trustee. 

        If
the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of
Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than
60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the
clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption
date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 

Section 3.02.     Selection of Notes
to Be Redeemed. 

        If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of
the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if
the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any
other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial
redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise
provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date
by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 

        The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or
whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed,
the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of
$1,000, shall be redeemed.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions
of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of
Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.03.     Notice of
Redemption. 

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

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

        (a)              the
redemption date;  

        (b)              the
redemption price or if the redemption is made pursuant to Section 3.07(b) a
          calculation of the redemption price;  

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

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

33 

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

        (f)              that,
unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest           and
Additional Interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue           on
and after the redemption date; (g) the paragraph of the Notes or Section of
          this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being
          redeemed; and  

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

        At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days, or such shorter period allowed by the
Trustee, prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the
Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as
provided in this Section 3.03. 

Section 3.04.     Effect of Notice
of Redemption. 

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

Section 3.05.     Deposit of
Redemption Price.  

        On
or before 11:00 a.m. on any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest
and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or
the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee
or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes
to be redeemed. 

        If
the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the
Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an
interest record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was
registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company
to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be
paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to
the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 

Section 3.06.     Notes Redeemed in
Part. 

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

Section 3.07.     Optional
Redemption. 

        (a)              Except
as set forth in clause (b) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be
          redeemable at the option of the Company prior to June 1, 2010. Starting on June
          1, 2010, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes after giving the
          required notice under this Indenture. The Notes may be redeemed at the
          redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth
          below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the
          Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of
          Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
          Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on
          June 1 of the years indicated below:  

34 

		
	Year	Percent
	2010	105.125%
	2011	102.563%
	2012 and thereafter	100.000%

        (b)              At
any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2009, the Company may redeem           up
to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this
          Indenture at a redemption price equal to 110.250% of the principal amount
          thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to
          the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record
date           to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) with the
net cash           proceeds of any Qualified Equity Offering of the Company’s common
stock; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such
          redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued
          on the Issue Date (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries)
          remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption. Any
          such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering
          upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice.  

        (c)              Any
prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the
          provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.  

Section 3.08.     Mandatory
Redemption. 

        The
Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with
respect to the Notes. 

Section 3.09.     Offer To Purchase by
Application of Excess Proceeds  

        (a)              In
the event that, pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof, the Issuer shall be required
          to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset
Sale           Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified
below.  

        (b)              The
Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days           following
its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer           period is
required by applicable law (the “Offer           Period”).
No later than five Business Days after the           termination of the Offer Period (the
“Purchase           Date”), the Issuer shall purchase the
principal amount of           Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.12
hereof (the           “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the
Offer Amount           has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset
Sale Offer.           Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner
as interest           payments are made.  

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

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

	 	        (i)    
                    that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09
and                     Section 4.12 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer
shall remain                     open;  

	 	        (ii)    
                    the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;  

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

35 

	 	        (iv)    
                    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note
accepted for                     payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to
accrue interest and                     Additional Interest, if any, after the Purchase
Date;  

	 	        (v)     
                    that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset
Sale Offer                     may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of
$1,000 only;  

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

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

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

	 	        (ix)    
                    that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued
new Notes                     equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the
Notes surrendered                     (or transferred by book-entry transfer).  

        On
or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment,
on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions
thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has
been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the
Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer, the Depositary or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five
Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount

          purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company shall
          give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission

any                Notes are outstanding the Company shall furnish to the Holders of the
Notes,                within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
regulations:

accountants; and  

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

        The
Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports to the Trustee and the Holders if
the Company has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such
reports are publicly available. 

        (b)              If
the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
          Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by
          the preceding clause (a) will include a reasonably detailed presentation,

Company           and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition

          analysts and prospective investors upon request.  

        (d)              For
so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the
          Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their

        (a)              The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each
          fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the
          activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year
          has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to
          determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its
          obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer
          signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company
          has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained
in           this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any
of           the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or
          Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of
          Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is
          taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or
          her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which
          payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is
          prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what
          action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.  

        (b)              So
long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American
          Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements
          delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03 above shall be accompanied by
          a written statement of the Company’s independent public accountants (who
          shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the
          examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing
          has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company
has           violated any provisions of Articles 4 or 5 hereof or, if any such violation
has           occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being
          understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to
          any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.  

        (c)              The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the           occurrence
thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate           of any
event that with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become           an
Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or           proposes
to take with respect thereto.  

Section 4.05.     Taxes. 

        The
Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to
delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect
such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes;
provided that neither the Company nor any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be
required to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax, assessment,
charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in
accordance with GAAP. 

Section 4.06.     Stay, Extension
and Usury Laws. 

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

38 

Section 4.07.     Corporate
Existence. 

        Subject
to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate,
partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with
the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of
the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory),
licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or
franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 4.08.     Payments for
Consent. 

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

Section 4.09.     Incurrence of
Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

        (a)    
               The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries                to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise                become directly or indirectly liable, contingently
or otherwise, with respect to                (collectively, “incur”)
any Indebtedness (including                Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not
issue any Disqualified Stock and shall                not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred                stock; provided, however, that
the Company may incur Indebtedness                (including Acquired Debt) or issue
Disqualified Stock, and any of its Subsidiary                Guarantors may incur
Indebtedness, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the                Company’s
most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal                financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
               additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued
would                have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis
(including a                pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if
the additional                Indebtedness had been incurred or the preferred stock or
Disqualified Stock had                been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning
of such four- quarter period.  

        (b)    
               Paragraph (a) of this Section 4.09 will not prohibit the incurrence of any
of                the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted
               Debt”):  

	 	        (i)   
               the incurrence by the Company of additional Indebtedness and letters of
credit                under one or more Credit Facilities and Guarantees thereof by the
Subsidiary                Guarantors; provided that the aggregate principal amount
of all                Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
incurred pursuant to                this clause (i) (with letters of credit being deemed
to have a principal amount                equal to the maximum potential liability of the
Company and its Restricted                Subsidiaries thereunder) does not exceed an
amount equal to $305.0 million;  

	 	        (ii)    
               the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the
Existing                Indebtedness;

be                issued on the Issue Date (and the related Exchange Notes to be issued
pursuant                to the Registration Rights Agreement) and the incurrence by the
Subsidiary                Guarantors of the Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes (and the
related Exchange                Notes);  

39 

	 	        (iv)    
               the incurrence by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of
               Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings
or                purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of
financing                all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or
improvement of                property, plant or equipment used in the Company’s
business or the business                of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in an aggregate
principal amount, including all                Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance
or replace any Indebtedness incurred                pursuant to this clause (iv), not to
exceed $10.0 million at any time                outstanding;  

	 	        (v)    
               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Permitted                Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of
which are used                to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than
intercompany                Indebtedness) that was incurred under the clause (a) of this
Section 4.09 or                clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 4.09(b);  

	 	        (vi)    
               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
               intercompany Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of the Subsidiary
               Guarantors; provided, however, that:  

	 	        (A)    
               if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must
be                expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all
Obligations                with respect to the Notes;  

	 	        (B)    
               if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness                is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in
cash of such                Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee; and  

	 	        (C)    
               (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results
in any                such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or
a Subsidiary                Guarantor and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such
Indebtedness to a                Person that is not either the Company or a Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be deemed,                in each case, to constitute an incurrence of
such Indebtedness by the Company or                such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case
may be, that was not permitted by this                clause (vi);  

	 	        (vii)    
               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Hedging                Obligations that are incurred in the normal course of business for
the purpose                of fixing or hedging currency, commodity or interest rate risk
(including with                respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is
permitted by the terms hereof                to be outstanding in connection with the
conduct of the Company’s                respective businesses and not for
speculative purposes);  

	 	        (viii)    
               the guarantee by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of the
               Indebtedness of the Company or Indebtedness of one of its Restricted

               the incurrence by the Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries of
Non-recourse                Debt; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness
ceases to be                Non-recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event
shall be deemed to                be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Subsidiary of the
Company that was not                permitted by this clause (ix);  

	 	        (x)    
               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any
               Indebtedness under Seller Notes, not to exceed $30.0 million in the
aggregate at                any one time outstanding, including all Indebtedness incurred
to refund,                refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
clause (x); and  

	 	        (xi)

               additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted
value, as                applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Indebtedness
incurred to                refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause                (xi), not to exceed $30.0 million (which amount
may be incurred, in whole or in                part, under any of the Credit Facilities);
provided that no more than                $10.0 million shall be incurred by a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not a                Subsidiary Guarantor.  

40 

        (c)    
               For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that                an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more
than one of the                categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i)
through (xi) of Section                4.09(b) as of the date of incurrence thereof or is
entitled to be incurred                pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.09, the
Company shall, in its sole                discretion, at the time the proposed
Indebtedness is incurred, (x) classify all                or a portion of that item of
Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence under                either clause (a) of this
Section 4.09 or under any category of Permitted Debt,                (y) reclassify at a
later date all or a portion of that or any other item of                Indebtedness as
being or having been incurred in any manner that complies with                this
Section 4.09 and (z) elect to comply with this Section 4.09 and the
               applicable definitions in any order; provided, however, that
Indebtedness                incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement on the date of this
Indenture shall be                treated as incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the
definition of Permitted Debt.  

        (d)    
               The Company shall not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
               become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right
of                payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and not subordinate or junior
in right                of payment to the Notes; provided, however, that no
Indebtedness of the                Company will be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment                solely by virtue of being unsecured. No
Subsidiary Guarantor will incur, create,                issue, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is                subordinate or junior
in right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Subsidiary                Guarantor and
not subordinate or junior in right of payment to such Subsidiary                Guarantor’s
Subsidiary Guarantee; provided, however, that no                Indebtedness of a
Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed to be contractually                subordinated in
right of payment solely by virtue of being unsecured.  

Section 4.10.    Restricted
Payments. 

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

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

        (b)              purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without           limitation,
in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company           or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries) any of the Company’s or its           Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (in each case other than any of           the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests owned by the           Company or another
Restricted Subsidiary);  

        (c)              make
any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or           otherwise
acquire or retire for value any of the Company’s or its           Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Subordinated Indebtedness (other than Subordinated
          Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except
          a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or  

        (d)              make
any Restricted Investment  

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

41 

        (a)    
               no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
occur as                a consequence of such Restricted Payment; and  

        (b)    
               the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving
pro                forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at
the                beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted
to incur at                least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed
Charge Coverage                Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and  

        (c)    
               such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other
               Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
after                the date hereof (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses
(2), (3),                (4) and (6) of the next paragraph), is less than the sum,
without duplication,                of:  

	 	        (i)    
               50% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Income for the period (taken as
one                accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter
commencing                after the date hereof to the end of the Company’s most
recently ended                fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are
available at the time                of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated
Net Income for such period                is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus 

	 	        (ii)    
               100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds or the fair value (as determined
in good                faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of property or
assets received                by the Company since the date hereof as a contribution to
the Company’s                common equity capital or from the issue or sale of the
Company’s Equity                Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or from
the issue or sale of                convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or
convertible or exchangeable                debt securities of the Company that have been
converted into or exchanged for                such Equity Interests (other than Equity
Interests or Disqualified Stock or debt                securities sold to a Subsidiary of
the Company), plus 

	 	        (iii)    
               to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date
hereof                is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the
lesser of (i)                the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted
Investment (less the                cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial
amount of such Restricted                Investment, plus 

	 	        (iv)    
               to the extent that any of the Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries are
               redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the lesser
of (i)                the fair market value of the Company’s Investment in such
Subsidiary as of                the date of such redesignation or (ii) such fair market
value as of the date on                which such Subsidiary was originally designated as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  

        So
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby (except with
respect to clause (6) below), the preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

	 	        (1)                  the
payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of the
               dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend payment would have
complied                with the provisions hereof;  

	 	        (2)                  the
redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any
               of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Subordinated
               Indebtedness or of any of the Company’s Equity Interests in exchange
for,                or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale
(other than                to any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) of, the
Company’s                Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock); provided
that the                amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for
any such redemption,                repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other
acquisition will be excluded from                clause (c)(ii) of the preceding
paragraph;  

	 	        (3)                  the
defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the Subordinated
               Indebtedness of the Company or Subordinated Indebtedness of any of its
               Restricted Subsidiaries with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of
               Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;  

42 

	 	        (4)               the
redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of the Company’s Existing
               Preferred Stock;  

	 	        (5)               the
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any
               of the Company’s Equity Interests held by any member of the Company’s
               (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’) management pursuant to any
               management equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement or
similar                agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all
such                repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not
exceed                $1,000,000 in any twelve-month period;  

	 	        (6)               in
the case of a Subsidiary, the payment of dividends (or in the case of any
               partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) to the
               holders of its Capital Stock on a pro rata basis;  

	 	        (7)               the
purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for
               value of any Seller Notes incurred under clause (x) of the definition of
               Permitted Debt or existing on the date hereof; provided that the
Company                would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro
forma effect                thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the
beginning of the                applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to
incur at least $1.00 of                additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio test set                forth in Section 4.09; and  

	 	        (8)               other
Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the Issue Date not to
               exceed $15.0 million.  

        The
amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the
date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s), property or securities proposed to be
transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that
are required to be valued by this Section 4.10 will be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company whose resolutions with respect thereto will be delivered to the
Trustee. The Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or
appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national
standing if the fair market value exceeds $5.0 million. Not later than the date of making
any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis
upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.10 were computed, together with a
copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture. 

Section 4.11.    Liens. 

        The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing
Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or trade payables on any asset now owned or hereafter
acquired or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, except Permitted Liens, unless: 

        (a)              in
the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related
          Subsidiary Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property (including Capital
          Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), assets, proceeds, income or profit that is
          senior in priority to such Liens; and  

        (b)              in
the case of Liens securing Senior Debt, the Notes and related Subsidiary
          Guarantees are equally and ratably secured on such property (including Capital
          Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), assets, proceeds, income or profit.  

Section 4.12.     Asset Sales. 

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

	 	        (i)    
          the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receive
          consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market
          value of the assets sold, leased, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed
          of;  

43 

	 	        (ii)    
          the fair market value, if greater than $2.0 million, is determined by the
          Company’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
          Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee;
          and  

	 	        (iii)    
          at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or
          such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or
          Replacement Assets.  

        (b)    
          For purposes of this Section 4.12, each of the following will be deemed to be
          cash:  

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

	 	        (ii)    
          any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such
          Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or
          such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 90 days of the consummation of such
          Asset Sale (subject to ordinary settlement periods), to the extent of the cash
          received in that conversion.  

        (c)    
          Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the
          Company may apply those Net Proceeds at its option:  

	 	        (i)    
          to repay Senior Debt;  

	 	        (ii)    
          to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the
          Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business; or  

	 	        (iii)    
          to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted
          Business.  

        In
the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the entry into a definitive agreement to
acquire such assets within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such
agreement so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such agreement
with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such
commitment within 455 days of the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds and such Net
Proceeds are actually so applied within such period. 

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

        (d)              Any
Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided           in
Section 4.12(c) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”          When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company           shall
make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other
          Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions
          similar to those set forth herein with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
          with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount
of           Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased
out of           the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be
equal to           100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and           Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable
in           cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer,           the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
          prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
          other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer
exceeds           the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased as described in Article 3
hereof.           Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds
will be           reset at zero.  

44 

        (e)              The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange           Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those
          laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes
          pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
          securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this
          Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
          regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s
          obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue of such conflict.  

Section 4.13.     Dividend and Other
Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

        The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to,
directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual
encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

        (a)              pay
dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital           Stock
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to           any
other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any
          Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other of its Restricted Subsidiaries;  

        (b)              make
any loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of           the
Company; or  

        (c)              transfer
any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted
          Subsidiary of the Company.  

        However,
the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under
or by reason of: 

	 	        (i)    
               agreements as in effect on the date hereof or subsequent agreements
relating to                the Company’s Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any
Subsidiary Guarantor and                any amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements,                refundings, replacements or refinancings
of those agreements; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases,                supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings
are not materially more                restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to
such dividend and other payment                restrictions than those contained in those
agreements on the date hereof;  

	 	        (ii)    
               this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;  

	 	        (iii)    
               applicable law;  

	 	        (iv)    
               any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person
acquired by                the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect
at the time of                such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or
Capital Stock was                incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such
acquisition), which                encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
Person, or the properties or                assets of any Person, other than the Person,
or the property or assets of the                Person, so acquired; provided that,
in the case of Indebtedness, such                Indebtedness was permitted by the terms
of this Indenture to be incurred;  

	 	        (v)    
               customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary
               course of business and consistent with past practices;  

	 	        (vi)    
               purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of
               business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described
in                clause (c) of this Section 4.13;  

	 	        (vii)    
               any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary
that                restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its
sale or other                disposition;  

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

45 

	 	        (ix)    
               Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under
Section                4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets
subject to such                Liens; and  

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

Section 4.14.     Transactions with
Affiliates. 

        The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any
payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s or
its Restricted Subsidiaries’ respective properties or assets to, or purchase any
property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

        (a)    
               the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the
Company                or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have
been obtained                in a comparable transaction by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary with an                unrelated Person; and  

        (b)    
               the Company delivers to the Trustee:  

	 	        (i)    
               with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
               Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million,
a                resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate
               certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and
that                such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested                members of the Board of Directors; and  

	 	        (ii)    
               with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
               Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million,
an                opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction
from a                financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking                firm of national standing.  

        The
following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not
be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph: 

        (a)              any
employment agreement, employee benefit plan, related trust agreement or any
          other similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
          Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;  

        (b)    
transactions between or           among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;  

        (c)              transactions
with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because           the Company
owns an Equity Interest in such Person;  

        (d)              payment
of reasonable directors fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates           of the
Company and indemnification costs permitted by the Company’s
          organizational documents for the benefit of directors, officers and employees
in           the ordinary course of business;  

        (e)              sales
of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the
          Company;  

        (f)              Permitted
Investments or Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.10;           and  

        (g)              any
agreement (including any certificate of designations relating to Capital           Stock)
as in effect as of the date of hereof or any amendment thereto or any
          transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto)
          in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or
          replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any
material           respect than the original agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

Section 4.15.     Sale and Leaseback
Transactions. 

        The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into
any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if: 

        (a)              the
Company or that Subsidiary Guarantor could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in           an
amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback
          transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph
of           Section 4.09 and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to
          Section 4.11;  

        (b)    
the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction           are at least
equal to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the           Board of
Directors of the Company and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate
          delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of that sale and
          leaseback transaction; and  

        (c)              the
transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by,           and
the Company apply the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with           Section
4.12.  

Section 4.16.     Issuances
and Sales of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries  

        The
Company (a) shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person (other than to the Company or another one of its
Restricted Subsidiaries), unless (i) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other
disposition is of all the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary, and (ii) the Net
Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in
accordance with Section 4.12; provided that this clause (a) shall not apply to any
pledge of Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company securing Indebtedness
under Credit Facilities, including the Credit Agreement, or any exercise of remedies in
connection therewith, and (b) will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue
any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock
constituting directors’ qualifying shares) to any Person other than the Company or
another of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

Section 4.17.     Designation of
Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

        The
Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted
Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of
all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of
the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the
first paragraph of Section 4.10 or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company.
That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time
and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default. 

Section 4.18.     Repurchase at the
Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control. 

        (a)              Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to
          require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
          integral multiple of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer
          described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price
          (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal
          amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if
          any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant
          record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).  

        Subject
to clause (c) below, within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder: 

47 

	 	        (i)    
               send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder, at
such                Holder’s address appearing in the securities register maintained
in respect                of the Notes by the Registrar (the “Security Register”):  

	 	        (A)    
               that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is
being                made pursuant to Section 4.18 and that all Notes timely tendered
will be                accepted for payment;  

	 	        (B)    
               the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be,
subject to                any contrary requirements of applicable law, a business day no
earlier than 30                days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is
mailed;  

	 	        (C)    
               the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control
(including                information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash
flow and                capitalization after giving effect to the Change of Control); and  

	 	        (D)    
               the procedures that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or
               portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that Holders must follow
in                order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for
payment.  

        The
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations
are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the covenant described hereunder, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the covenant described hereunder by virtue of such conflict. 

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

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

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

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

        The
Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of
Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or
cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount
to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new
Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. 

        (c)              Prior
to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.18, but in any           event
within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company shall either           repay
all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any,           under all
agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to permit the repurchase           of Notes
required by this covenant. The Company shall publicly announce the           results of
the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the           Change of
Control Payment Date.  

        (d)              The
provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of           Control
Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not           any other
provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described above           with
respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions           that
permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or
          redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar
          transaction.  

48 

        (e)              The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change           of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at
          the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
          Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and
          purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of
          Control Offer.  

Section 4.19.     Additional Subsidiary
Guarantees  

        If
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic
Subsidiary after the date hereof, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary
will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for a
Subsidiary Guarantee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within
10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Subsidiaries that have properly been
designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long as
they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

Section 4.20.    [Reserved]  

Section 4.21.     Business
Activities. 

        The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business other

	 	        (iv)

	 	        (vi)    
               default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may

(or the payment of                which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries)                whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
exists, or is created after the date                hereof, if that default:  

	 	        (A)    
               is caused by a failure to pay any scheduled installment of principal on
such                Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in
such                Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment

amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the
maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more; 

	 	        (vii)

cease for any                reason to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, or any Person                acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor,
shall deny or disaffirm its                obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;
and  

	 	        (ix)    
               the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or within
the                meaning of Bankruptcy Law:  

	 	        (A)    
               commences a voluntary case,  

	 	        (B)    
               consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case,  

	 	        (C)    
               consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or
substantially all                of its property,  

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

	 	        (E)    
               generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and  

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

	 	        (A)    
               is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries
in an                involuntary case; or  

	 	        (B)    
               appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries
or                for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of
its                Significant Subsidiaries; or  

	 	        (C)    
               orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries;  

        and
the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 

Section 6.02.     Acceleration. 

        If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (ix) or (x) of
Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary), shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may
declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the Notes then
outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date
of acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (ix) or (x) of
Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Notes will become
due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or the Holders. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in this Indenture. Subject to the limitations described in this Article 6,
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of
Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional
Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

        In
the case of an Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction
taken or not taken by the Company or on the Company’s behalf with the intention of
avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have been required to pay if the
Company had then elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, an
equivalent premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent
permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior
to June 1, 2010 by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by the
Company or on the Company’s behalf with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on
redemption of the Notes prior to June 1, 2010, then the premium specified in Section 3.07
will also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon
acceleration of the Notes. 

51 

Section 6.03.     Other Remedies. 

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

        The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of
Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 6.04.     Waiver of Past
Defaults. 

        Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or
Additional Interest on, the Notes; provided, however, that after any acceleration,
but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may
rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
accelerated principal, premium or interest or Additional Interest, have been cured or
waived as provided in this Indenture. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05.     Control by
Majority. 

        Subject
to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall 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 shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to Section 7.07, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding 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 with respect to the
Notes. 

Section 6.06.     Limitation on
Suits. 

        No
Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless: 

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

        (b)              Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then           outstanding
have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the           Trustee to
institute such proceeding as trustee, and  

        (c)              the
Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate
          principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with
          such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days.  

52 

        The
preceding limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of
payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest on, a
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 

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

Section 6.07.     Rights of Holders
to Receive Payment. 

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

Section 6.08.     Collection Suit by
Trustee. 

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

Section 6.09.     Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim. 

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

Section 6.10.     Priorities. 

        If
the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in
the following order: 

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

53 

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

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

        The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this

Costs. 

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

ARTICLE 7.  

TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01.     Duties of Trustee. 

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

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

	 	        (1)    
               the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions                of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those
duties that are                specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others,
and no implied covenants                or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee; and  

	 	        (2)    
               in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as                to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed                therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming                to the requirements of this Indenture.  However,
the Trustee shall examine                the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the                requirements of this Indenture (but
need not confirm or investigate the accuracy                of mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein or otherwise verify                the contents thereof).  

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

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

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

54 

	 	        (3)    
               the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to                take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it
pursuant to                Section 6.05 hereof.  

        (d)    
               Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture                that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs
(a), (b) and (c)                of this Section.  

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

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

Section 7.02.     Rights of Trustee. 

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

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

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

        (d)              The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
          faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers
conferred           upon it by this Indenture.  

        (e)              Unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request,
          direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an
Officer           of the Company.  

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

        (g)              The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of           Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof           or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event           of
Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
          Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the specific Default or
          Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture.  

        (h)              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.  

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

55 

        (j)              The
Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the           Company’s
covenants herein.  

Section 7.03.     Individual Rights
of Trustee. 

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

Section 7.04.     Trustee’s
Disclaimer. 

        The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the
Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon
the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be
responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or
any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes
or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05.     Notice of Defaults. 

        If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90
days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default has since been cured. Except
in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any,
or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

Section 7.06.     Reports by Trustee
to Holders. 

        Within
60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2007, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such
reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA
§ 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no
report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
§ 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by
TIA § 313(c). 

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

Section 7.07.     Compensation and
Indemnity. 

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

        The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee against any and all losses,
claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (“losses”)
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this
Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against
any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder,
except to the extent any such losses may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad
faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee
shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful
misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. 

56 

        The
obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 

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

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

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

Section 7.08.     Replacement of
Trustee. 

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

        The
Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days prior notice to the Company and be
discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 

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

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

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

        (d)              the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.  

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

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

57 

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

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

Section 7.09.     Successor Trustee by
Merger, etc.  

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

Section 7.10.     Eligibility;
Disqualification. 

        There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

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

Section 7.11.     Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. 

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

ARTICLE 8.  

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

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

        The
Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02.     Legal Defeasance
and Discharge. 

        Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with
respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and
at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth
in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02
hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this
Article 8. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to
this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.
Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

58 

Section 8.03.     Covenant
Defeasance. 

        Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.05, 4.06 and 4.08 through 4.18 hereof, and the operation of Section 5.01(d)
hereof, with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration
or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants,
but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder
(it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant
or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises under
Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (iii) and (iv)
(with respect to the covenants contained in Sections 4.05, 4.06 and 4.08 through 4.18
hereof), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) (but in the case of clauses (ix) and (x) of Section
6.01 hereof, with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only). 

Section 8.04.     Conditions to
Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

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

        The
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if: 

        (a)              the
Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of           the
Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government           Securities,
or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government
          Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
          recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or
          interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes
          on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may
be,           and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to
maturity or           to a particular redemption date;  

        (b)              in
the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion           of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company
          has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service
          a ruling or (b) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the
applicable           federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon           such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the
outstanding Notes           will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a           result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the           same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the           case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;  

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

59 

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

        (e)              such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
          violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or
instrument           (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement, but excluding
the           indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by
          which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may is bound;  

        (f)              the
Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that           the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the           Holders
of Notes over the Company’s other creditors with the intent of           defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding the Company’s creditors or           others; and  

        (g)              the
Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion           of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal
          Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.  

Section 8.05.     Deposited
Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 

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

        The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than
any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
outstanding Notes. 

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

Section 8.06.     Repayment to
Company. 

        Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional
Interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and
premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged
from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured 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, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause
to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the
Company. 

60 

Section 8.07.     Reinstatement. 

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

ARTICLE 9.  

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT
AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01.     Without Consent of
Holders of Notes. 

        Notwithstanding
Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder to: 

        (a)              cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;  

        (b)              provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated           Notes;  

        (c)              provide
for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the           Company
under this Indenture in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of           all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets;  

        (d)              make
any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the           Holders
of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights           hereunder of
any such Holder;  

        (e)              make
any change to comply with any requirement of the SEC in order to effect or
          maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;  

        (f)              add
covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power
          conferred upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors; or  

        (g)              add
a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture.  

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

Section 9.02.     With Consent of
Holders of Notes. 

        Except
as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes, including Additional
Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and,
subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other
than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest or Additional Interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture
or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a
single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). 

61 

        Upon
the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described
in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

        The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a
record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that
unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage
having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such
consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect. 

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

        After
an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to the Holders to such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company
to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to
Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class
may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes.  

        Without
the consent of each Holder, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with
respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

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

        (b)              reduce
the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the
          provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes;  

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

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

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

62 

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

        (g)              waive
a redemption payment with respect to any Note; or  

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

        Without
the consent of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, am amendment or waiver may not: 

        (a)    
               make any change in the provisions of Sections 4.12 or 4.18; or  

        (b)    
               release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its
               Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the
terms                hereof.  

Section 9.03.     Compliance with
Trust Indenture Act. 

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

Section 9.04.     Revocation and
Effect of Consents. 

        Until
an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a
continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if
notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives
written notice of revocation before the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate
certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and
theretofore not revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.05.     Notation on or
Exchange of Notes. 

        The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any
Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and
the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that
reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

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

Section 9.06.     Trustee to Sign
Amendments, etc.  

        The
Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this
Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  The Company may not sign an amendment or
supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended
or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to
Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended
or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and
that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including
Section 9.03). 

ARTICLE 10.  

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 

63 

Section 10.01.     Guarantee. 

        Subject
to this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of premium, if any, and interest on the
Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the
Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the
Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension
or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof or
otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

        Each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Subsidiary
Guarantee shall be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or
enforceability of the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations
of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any
other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law, waives and relinquishes all claims,
rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or
take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (a)
any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a
“Benefited Party”), as a condition of payment or
performance by such Subsidiary Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other
guarantor (including any other Subsidiary Guarantor) of the Obligations under the
Subsidiary Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security
held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against
or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any
Benefited Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other
remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason
of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company
including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the
unenforceability of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company
from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Subsidiary
Guarantees; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more
burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Benefited
Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the
Subsidiary Guarantees, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)(1) any principles
or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the
terms of the Subsidiary Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof,
(3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (4) promptness, diligence
and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands,
presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action
or inaction, including acceptance of the Subsidiary Guarantees, notices of default under
the Notes or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal,
extension or modification of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees or any
agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Company and any
right to consent to any thereof; (g) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the
benefits of any “One Action” rule and (h) any defenses or benefits that may be
derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or
sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Subsidiary Guarantees. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be
discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Subsidiary
Guarantee and this Indenture. 

64 

        If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to either the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by
either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

        Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in
full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that,
as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated
as provided in Section 6.02 hereof for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary
Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. 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 the Subsidiary
Guarantee. 

Section 10.02.     Limitation on
Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. 

        Each
Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it
is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary
Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy
Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any
similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such
maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor
that are relevant under such laws, including, if applicable, its guarantee of all
obligations under the Credit Agreement, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor
under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its
Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

Section 10.03.     Execution and
Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. 

        To
evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee in substantially the
form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on
each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be
executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by its President or one of its Vice
Presidents. 

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

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

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

65 

Section 10.04.     Subsidiary
Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

        Except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving
Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary Guarantor unless: 

        (a)              subject
to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person formed by or surviving any such
          consolidation or merger (if other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company)
          unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
          pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
          satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, this Indenture, and the
Subsidiary           Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and  

        (b)              the
Subsidiary Guarantor complies with the requirements of Article 5 hereof.  

        In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the
successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes
and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed
to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been
named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be
signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees
theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though
all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the
capital stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by
way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Subsidiary
Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor) shall
be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;

under its Subsidiary Guarantee. 

        Any
Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee
shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for
the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this

Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;  

        (c)    
                    the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it

Government Securities                     toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or
the redemption date, as the case                     may be.

Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been
satisfied.

Section 12.04.     Certificate and
Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. 

        Upon
any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any
provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee: 

        (a)              an
Officers’ Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to           the
Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 12.05           hereof)
stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent           and
covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
          action have been complied with; and  

        (b)              an
Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the           Trustee

Required in Certificate or Opinion. 

        Each

for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to TIA

          complied with; and  

69 

        (d)              a
statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition
          or covenant has been complied with.

Notes, this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the
Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities
laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

        All
covenants and agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its
successors.  All covenants and agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind
its successors. 

Section 12.11.     Severability. 

        In
case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes 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 12.12.     Counterpart
Originals. 

        The
parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be

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

        1.       Interest.  Hanger
Orthopedic Group, Inc., a           Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”),
promises to           pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 10 1/4% per
annum until           maturity and shall pay Additional Interest, if any, as provided in
Section 5(b)           of the Registration Rights Agreement.  The Issuer shall pay
interest           semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such
day is not a           Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest
          Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the
          most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
          paid, from the date of issuance; provided, however, that if there is no
          existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated
          between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding
          Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
          Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment
          Date shall be the first of June 1 and December 1 to occur after the date of
          issuance, unless such June 1 or December 1 occurs within one calendar month of
          such date of issuance, in which case the first Interest Payment Date shall be
          the second of June 1 and December 1 to occur after the date of issuance. The
          Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
          under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time
to           time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in
          effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
          proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
          (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at
          the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest shall be computed on the
          basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  

        2.       Method
of Payment.  The Issuer shall pay interest on           the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders at the           close of
business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest           Payment Date,
even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or           before such
Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the           Indenture with
respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes shall be payable           as to
principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any,           at
the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, or, at the
          option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the
          Holders at their addresses set forth in the Security Register; provided,
however, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds
          shall be required with respect to principal of and interest and Additional
          Interest, if any,, and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other
Notes           the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to
the           Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency
of           the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
          payment of public and private debts.  

        3.       Paying
Agent and Registrar.  Initially,           Wilmington Trust
Company, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying           Agent and
Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar           without
notice to any Holder.  The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may           act in
any such capacity.  

        4.       Indenture.
The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture           dated as of May 26, 2006 (“Indenture”)
among the Issuer, the           guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”)
and           the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture           and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of           1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The
          Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
          and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision
of           this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions           of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are
obligations of           the Issuer unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

        5.       Optional
Redemption.  

            (a)                 Except
as set forth in clause (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Notes will not be
          redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to June 1, 2010. Starting on that
          date, the Issuer may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over
          time, after giving the required notice under the Indenture. The Notes may be
          redeemed at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount)           set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if           any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on
the relevant           record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date), if           redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on June 1
of the years           indicated below:  

	Year	Percentage
	2010	105.125%
	2011	102.563%
	2012 and thereafter	100.000%

            (b)                 At
any time and from time to time, prior to June 1, 2009, the Issuer may redeem           up
to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the
          Indenture at a redemption price equal to 110.250% of the principal amount
          thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to
          the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record
date           to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) with the
net cash           proceeds of any Qualified Equity Offering of the Issuer’s common
stock; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at
          least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue
          Date remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of
          the closing of such Qualified Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more
          than 60 days’ prior notice.  

            (c)                 Any
prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made pursuant to the           provisions
of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.  

        6.       Mandatory
Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to           make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.  

        7.       Repurchase
at Option of Holder.  

            (a)                 Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to
          require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral           multiple of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes (a “Change
of Control           Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal           amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if           any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders on the
relevant           record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date.  

            (b)                 If
the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates any Asset Sales,
          when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Issuer
          shall commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale
          Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to
          purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes)
          that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash
equal           to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and           Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of
such           offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the
          extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including Additional Notes) tendered
          pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer
(or           such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for general corporate
          purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
          thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
          Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the
          subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the
Issuer           prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by           completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on           the reverse of the Notes.  

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

A-4 

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

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

        11.       Amendment,
Supplement and Waiver.  Subject to certain           exceptions, the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the           consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then           outstanding
Notes voting as a single class, and any existing default or           compliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with           the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then           outstanding Notes voting
as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder,           the Indenture or the
Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity,           omission, defect or
inconsistency, to provide for the assumption by a successor           corporation of the
obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture in the case of           a merger or
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of           the Issuer,
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of           certificated
Notes, to make any change that would provide any additional rights           or benefits
to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal           rights
under the Indenture of any such Holder, to make any change to comply with           any
requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture
          under the TIA, to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender
          any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantors or
add           a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture..  

        12.       Defaults
and Remedies.  Each of the following is an           Event of Default
under the Indenture: (1) default for 30 days in the payment           when due of
interest on, or Additional Interest with respect to, the Notes; (2)           default in
payment when due of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;           (3) failure
by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with           Sections
4.09 or 4.10 or Article 5 of the Indenture; (4) failure by the Issuer           or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days after notice to comply with           Sections
4.12 and 4.18; (5) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted           Subsidiaries
for 60 days after notice to comply with any of its other agreements           in the
Indenture or in the Notes; (6) default under any mortgage, indenture or
          instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
          evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its
          Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or
          any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
          exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default (A) is
          caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on
such           Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
          Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment
          Default”); or (B) results in the acceleration of such
          Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; and in each such case, the
principal           amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount
of any other           such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or
the maturity           of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or
more; (7) failure           by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
final judgments (to           the extent nor covered by insurance) aggregating in excess
of $10.0 million,           which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a
period of 60           consecutive days; (8) except as permitted by the Indenture, any
Subsidiary           Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be
unenforceable or           invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and
effect or any           Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any
Subsidiary           Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its
Subsidiary           Guarantee or (9) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
described in the           Indenture with respect to the Issuer or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries. If           any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of not           less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may           declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in           the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or           insolvency, all outstanding Notes shall become
due and payable without further           action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as           provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority           in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the           Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
The Trustee may withhold from           Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default           or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or           interest or Additional Interest, if any) if it
determines that withholding           notice is in their interest. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal           amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of           the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default           and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of           Default in the payment of interest,
premium, if any, or Additional Interest on,           or the principal of, the Notes. The
Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee           annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is           required upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to           the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.  

A-5 

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

        14.       No
Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer,           employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or of any Subsidiary           Guarantor, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer           or any
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary           Guarantees
or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such           obligations or
their creation.  Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and           releases all
such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the           consideration for
the issuance of the Notes; such waiver may not be effective to           waive
liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the           SEC
that such a waiver is against public policy.  

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

        16.       Abbreviations.  Customary
abbreviations may be used in           the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:  TEN
COM (= tenants in           common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with           right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=
Custodian), and           U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).  

        17.       CUSIP
Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by           the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has           caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes 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 Notes or as
          contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
          other identification numbers placed thereon.  

        18.       Additional
Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted           Definitive Notes.
In addition to the rights provided to Holders           of Notes under the Indenture,
Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted           Definitive Notes that are
Initial Notes shall have all the rights set forth in           the Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2006, between the Company           and the parties named
on the signature pages thereto or, in the case of           Additional Notes, Holders of
Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive           Notes shall have the rights
set forth in one or more registration rights           agreements, if any, among the
Company and the other parties thereto, relating to           rights given by the Company
to the purchasers of any Additional Notes.  

        19.       Governing
Law. The internal law of the State of New York           shall govern and
be used to construe this Note without giving effect to           applicable principals of
conflicts of law to the extent that the application of           the laws of another
jurisdiction would be required thereby.

        The

certifies that (i) the Transfer is not being made to a           Person in the United
States and (x) at the time the buy order was originated,           the Transferee was

facilities of a designated offshore securities market and neither such
          Transferor nor any Person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction was
