such Note.

          “Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any tender, payment, transfer, redemption or
exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the
Depositary that apply to such tender, payment, transfer, redemption or exchange.

          “Asset Sale” means:

          (1) the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights, including by
means of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, but other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practices; provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by the provisions of Section 4.13 and/or Article 5
and not by the provisions of Section 4.10; and

          (2) the issuance or sale of Equity Interests in any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries
or the sale of Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries.

          Notwithstanding the preceding, the following items shall not be deemed to be Asset Sales:

an aggregate fair market value of less than $15.0 million; or (b) results in aggregate net proceeds
to the Company and its Subsidiaries of less than $15.0 million;

          (2) a transfer of assets (a) between or among the Company and its Wholly Owned Restricted

Subsidiaries or (c) by the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries to any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary if, in the
case of this clause (c), the Company or the Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
either retains title to or ownership of the assets being transferred or receives consideration at
the time of such transfer at least equal to the fair market value of the transferred assets;

          (3) an issuance of Equity Interests by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to a Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary;

          (4) any Permitted Investment or any Restricted Payment that is permitted by Section 4.07;

4

 

          (5) a disposition of products, services, equipment or inventory in the ordinary course of
business or a disposition of obsolete equipment or equipment that is no longer useful in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and that is disposed of in
the ordinary course of business;

          (6) the grant of Liens (or foreclosure thereon) permitted by Section 4.12;

          (7) the sale or transfer of Receivables Program Assets or rights therein in connection with a

          (12) the lease, assignment or sublease of any real or personal property in the ordinary course
of business; and

          (13) the abandonment of intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business, which
in the reasonable good faith determination of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries are
not material to the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as
a whole.

          “Attributable Indebtedness,” when used with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction,
means, as at the time of determination, the present value of the total Obligations of the lessee
for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in any such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction, including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of
the lessor, be extended. Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the
rate implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of
Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital
Lease Obligation.”

          “Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under
the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person”
(as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” shall be deemed to
have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire, whether
such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent
condition.

5

 

          “Board of Directors” means:

          (1) with respect to a corporation, the Board of Directors of the corporation or any committee
thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of such board;

          (2) with respect to a partnership, the Board of Directors of the general partner of the
partnership;

          (3) with respect to a limited liability company, the managing member or members or any
controlling committee of managing members or managers thereof; and

          (4) with respect to any other Person, the board or committee of such Person serving a similar

          (2) is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company unless the terms of any such agreement, contract,
arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company;

          (3) is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests
or (b) to maintain or preserve such Person’s financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve
any specified level of operating results; and

          (4) has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless such Guarantee or credit
support is released upon its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

          Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be
evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving
effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied
with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted
Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall
thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Supplemental Indenture and
any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such
date under Section 4.09, the Company shall be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors
of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such
designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09,
calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the
four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence
following such designation.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary of the Company shall be designated an
Unrestricted Subsidiary during any Suspension Period.

          “U.S. Dollar Equivalent” means, with respect to any monetary amount in a currency other than

for the purpose of U.S. dollars with the applicable foreign currency as published in The Wall
Street Journal in the “Exchange Rates” column under the heading “Currency Trading” on the date two

payment at final maturity, in respect thereof, by (b) the number of years (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the making of such payment; by

          (2) the then outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

          “Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary” of any Person means a Restricted Subsidiary of such
Person all of the outstanding Capital Stock or other ownership interests of which (other than

establish the form of the Notes under this Supplemental Indenture.

          SECTION 2.01 Form and Dating.

               (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 Supplemental Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage in addition to those set forth on
Exhibit A. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and
provisions

31

 

contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Supplemental Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and

Participants shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note

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.

               (c) Certificated Notes. Except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture,

          SECTION 2.02 Registrar and Paying Agent.

               (a) The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary

respect to the Notes, and the Trustee hereby initially agrees so to act.

          SECTION 2.03 Additional Notes.

          The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, to issue

limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

          With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of its Board
of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee,

Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Supplemental 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. If the Company elects to redeem Notes
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.02 of this Supplemental Indenture and paragraph 5 of the
Notes, it shall furnish such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before a Redemption Date unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee. Each Officers’ Certificate shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel from the
Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice
may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and
shall, therefore, be void and of no effect.

          SECTION 3.02 Optional Redemption.

               (a) On or after March 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable Redemption
Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Redemption	 
	Redemption Year	 	Price	 
	2014
	 	 	103.875	%
	2015
	 	 	101.938	%
	2016 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%

               (b) Prior to March 1, 2013, the Company may, at its option, on any one or more occasions
redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Supplemental
Indenture with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a Redemption Price of
107.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that:

               (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this
Supplemental Indenture remains Outstanding after each such redemption; and

33

 

               (2) the redemption occurs within 120 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

               (c) In addition, at any time prior to March 1, 2014, the Company may, at its option, on any
one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the
Applicable Premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

               (d) Notices of redemption to Holders may not be conditional.

               (e) If an optional Redemption Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the
related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person
in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no
additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the
Company.

          SECTION 3.03 Mandatory Redemption.

          The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with
respect to the Notes. The foregoing shall not affect the Company’s obligations under Sections 4.10
and 4.13.

          SECTION 3.04 Repurchase at the Option of Holders.

               (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.13, the Company shall be required
to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes and, at the Company’s option, holders of
other Pari Passu Indebtedness (each, an “Offer to Purchase”), it shall follow the procedures
specified below.

               (b) Within 25 days following a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date and within 30 days following a
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee,
describing the transaction or transactions that triggered the Offer to Purchase and offering to
purchase Notes on the date (the “Purchase Date”) specified in such notice. The notice shall
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to
the Offer to Purchase. The Offer to Purchase shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which
shall govern the terms of the Offer to Purchase, shall state:

               (1) that the Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to this Section 3.04 and Section
4.10 or 4.13, as the case may be, and the length of time the Offer to Purchase shall remain
open;

               (2) that either (a) in the case of a Change of Control Offer, a Change of Control has
occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such holder’s
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof or (b) in
the case of a Net Proceeds Offer, there are Net Proceeds in an amount such that such Holder
has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at 100% of the
principal amount thereof, in each case, plus

34

 

accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Purchase Date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on an Interest
Payment Date that is on or prior to the date fixed for purchase);

               (3) the Purchase Date (which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later
than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, in the case of a Net
Proceeds Offer, or the date such notice is mailed, in the case of a Change of Control
Offer);

               (4) the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and in the case of a Net Proceeds Offer,
Pari Passu Indebtedness) being offered to be purchased (the “Offer Amount”), which shall be
equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount in the case of a Net Proceeds Offer and the principal
amount of all Notes Outstanding in the case of a Change of Control Offer; information as to
any other Pari Passu Indebtedness included in the Offer to Purchase (in the case of a Net
Proceeds Offer); and the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

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

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

               (7) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Offer to Purchase
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 in accordance with Applicable Procedures
by transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the
Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before
the Purchase Date;

               (8) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the
Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the second
Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, 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;

               (9) that, in the case of a Net Proceeds Offer and subject to Applicable Procedures, if
the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered by Holders into an Offer to Purchase
exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased (i) if the
Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange on which the Notes are then listed or (ii) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro
rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only
Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000, shall be purchased);

35

 

               (10) 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); and

               (11) in the case of a Change of Control Offer, the circumstances and relevant facts
regarding such Change of Control.

               (c) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular 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 Regular Record Date, and no additional interest
shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase.

               (d) On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for
payment, in accordance with clause (9) of Section 3.04(b), the Offer Amount of Notes or portions
thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has been
tendered, all Notes tendered, shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase
price for all Notes so accepted for purchase and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.04. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent,
as the case may be, shall promptly mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the
purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and
the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company
shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to
any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, or transferred by book-entry transfer in
accordance with Applicable Procedures. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of
the Offer to Purchase on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and

Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time
the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

               (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies
where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any

the Commission’s rules and regulations for a company subject to reporting under Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act:

               (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be
contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were

               (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form

               (b) In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will file a copy of

public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations for
a company subject to reporting under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (unless the

analysts and prospective investors upon request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the
Company files the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the
Commission and such information is publicly available on the Internet, the Company shall be deemed
to be in compliance with its obligations

37

 

to furnish such information to the Holders of the Notes and to make such information available
to securities analysts and prospective investors. The Company will not take any action for the
purpose of causing the Commission not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Commission will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will

will furnish to the Holders of the Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon
their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) of the
Securities Act.

               (d) Delivery of any reports, information and documents by the Company or Guarantors to the
Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of same shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any
Guarantor’s compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

          SECTION 4.04 Limitation on Layering Indebtedness. The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that
is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness)
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or of such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of
any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinated in the right of payment to
the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, to the same extent and in the
same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness of
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

          For purposes of this Section 4.04, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated in right
of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries solely by
virtue of being unsecured or secured by a junior priority Lien or by virtue of the fact that the
holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements
giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them,
including intercreditor agreements that contain customary provisions requiring turnover by holders
of junior priority Liens of proceeds of collateral in the event that the security interests in
favor of the holders of the senior priority in such intended collateral are not perfected or
invalidated and similar customary provisions protecting the holders of senior priority Liens.

          SECTION 4.05 Limitation on 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 unless:

               (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to:

38

 

               (1) incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness with respect
to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
forth in Section 4.09(a); and

               (2) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Indebtedness without also
securing the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.12;

               (b) the gross cash proceeds of such 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
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction; and

               (c) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is effected in compliance with Section 4.10.

          SECTION 4.06 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 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 4.07 Restricted Payments.

               (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly:

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

               (2) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value
(including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the
Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the
Company, in each case held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company;

               (3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or
otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or
the Subsidiary Guarantees, except a payment of

39

 

interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof (other than intercompany
Indebtedness between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries); or

               (4) make any Restricted Investment;

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively
referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such
Restricted Payment:

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

               (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 of this Supplemental
Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clause (2),
(3), (4), (5) or (9) of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum,
without duplication, of:

               (i) 50% of the cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken
as one accounting period) commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the
Issue Date occurs to and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately
prior to the date of such calculation 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 proceeds (including the fair market value of property
other than cash) received by the Company after the date of this Supplemental Indenture as a
contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of
the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than the net proceeds received in
connection with the Common Stock offering used to fund a portion of the Sturm Acquisition)
or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Stock or 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 of this
Supplemental Indenture is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the
lesser of (x) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted

40

 

Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (y) the initial amount of such
Restricted Investment; plus

               (iv) upon redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the
lesser of (x) the fair market value of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the
date of redesignation and (y) such fair market value as of the date such Subsidiary was
originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

          (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit:

                    (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof,
if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture;

                    (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any
subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Equity
Interests of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in exchange for, or out of
the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (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 shall be excluded
from clause (C)(ii) of Section 4.07(a);

                    (3) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of
subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

                    (4) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any
Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company 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, employment agreement,
severance agreement or other executive compensation arrangement; provided that the aggregate
price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall
not exceed $5.0 million in any twelve-month period (provided that the Company may carry over
and make in a subsequent calendar year, commencing with 2011, in addition to the amounts
permitted for such calendar year, up to $2.0 million of unutilized capacity under this
clause (4) attributable to the immediately preceding calendar year;

                    (5) the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock
options to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of
those stock options;

                    (6) payments to holders of the Company’s capital stock in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares of its Capital Stock;

41

 

                    (7) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of
Disqualified Stock of the Company in exchange for Disqualified Stock of the Company that is
permitted to be issued pursuant to Section 4.09;

                    (8) the purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement for a
nominal value per right of any rights granted to all the holders of Common Stock of the
Company pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan adopted for the purpose of protecting
shareholders from unfair takeover tactics; provided, that any such purchase, redemption,
acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such rights is not for the purpose of
evading the limitations of this Section 4.07 (all as determined in good faith by a senior
financial officer of the Company); and

                    (9) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the Issue Date not to exceed
$100.0 million under this clause (9).

provided that in the case of clause (4), (5) or (9), no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

               (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on
the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or
issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted
Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
covenant shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose resolution with respect
thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. With respect to any Restricted Payment permitted
pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (7) of Section 4.07(b), not later than 10 days following the end of
the fiscal quarter in which such Restricted Payment was made, 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 4.07 were computed.

               (d) The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” if the designation would
not cause a Default. All outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the designated Unrestricted Subsidiary will be treated as an Investment made at the
time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section
4.07(a) or Permitted Investments, as applicable. All such outstanding Investments will be treated
as Restricted Investments equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of the
designation. The designation will not be permitted if such Restricted Payment would not be
permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary does not otherwise meet the definition of
an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to
be a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

          SECTION 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

42

 

               (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

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

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

               (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries.

               (b) Section 4.08(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason
of:

                    (1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and the Credit Agreement as in effect on
the date of this Supplemental Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those
agreements, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive,
taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those
contained in such agreements on the Issue Date;

                    (2) this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees;

                    (3) applicable law;

                    (4) 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 was incurred or Capital Stock was issued 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 Supplemental Indenture to
be incurred;

                    (5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses, contracts and other
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practices;

                    (6) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business
that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (3)
of Section 4.08(a);

43

 

                    (7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the
Capital Stock or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by such
Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or other disposition;

                    (8) agreements governing 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;

                    (9) any agreement creating a Lien securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be
incurred pursuant to Section 4.12, to the extent limiting the right of the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien;

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

                    (11) customary restrictions on a Receivables Subsidiary and Receivables Program Assets
effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction;

                    (12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

                    (13) agreements governing Indebtedness incurred in compliance with Section 4.09(b)(4),
provided that such encumbrances or restrictions apply only to assets financed with the
proceeds of such Indebtedness.

          SECTION 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

               (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided,
however, that the Company and any of the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Guarantors may issue preferred stock, 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 or preferred stock is issued would have been at
least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net
proceeds therefrom) as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock
or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter
period.

44

 

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

               (1) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and
letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding
(with letters of credit being deemed to have an amount equal to the maximum potential
liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the
greater of $600.0 million or the Borrowing Base, less the aggregate amount of all Net
Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
repay Indebtedness and permanently reduce commitments under Credit Facilities pursuant to
Section 4.10;

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

               (3) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the
Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date;

               (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 business of
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including all
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $25.0 million at any time outstanding;

               (5) 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 incurred under clause (2) or (3) above or this clause (5)
or pursuant to Section 4.09(a);

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

     (a) if the Company or any Guarantor 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, in the case of the Company, or the
Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, in the case of a Guarantor; and

     (b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in
any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a
Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof shall be
deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such

45

 

Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
that was not permitted by this clause (6);

               (7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
under Hedging Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary and not for the purpose of speculation; provided that in the case of
Hedging Obligations relating to interest rates, (a) such Hedging Obligations relate to
payment obligations on Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred by this Section 4.09
and (b) the notional principal amount of such Hedging Obligations at the time incurred does
not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Hedging Obligations
relate;

               (8) the Guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred
by another provision of this Section 4.09 and could have been incurred (in compliance with
this Section 4.09) by the Person so Guaranteeing such Indebtedness;

               (9) the incurrence of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other
financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the
case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of
business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business
Days of incurrence;

               (10) the incurrence of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in respect of security for workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in
connection with self- insurance, performance, surety and similar bonds and completion
guarantees provided by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business; provided, that the underlying obligation to perform is that of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and not that of the Company’s Unrestricted
Subsidiaries; provided further, that such underlying obligation is not in respect of
borrowed money;

               (11) the incurrence of Indebtedness that may be deemed to arise as a result of
agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company providing for
indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out or similar Obligations, in each
case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business or assets of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that (a) any amount of such Obligations included on the face of the balance sheet
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be permitted under this clause (11)
and (b) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Obligations outstanding under
this clause (11) shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

               (12) Indebtedness incurred under commercial letters of credit issued for the account of
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the

46

 

ordinary course of business (and not for the purpose of, directly or indirectly,
incurring Indebtedness or providing credit support or a similar arrangement in respect of
Indebtedness), provided that any drawing under any such letter of credit is reimbursed in
full within seven days or Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
under letters of credit and bank guarantees backstopped by letters of credit under the
Credit Facilities;

               (13) Indebtedness of Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $50.0 million at any one time outstanding;

               (14) any Attributable Indebtedness; provided that the aggregate Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (14) shall not exceed $25 million at any time outstanding;

               (15) Indebtedness in respect of Receivables Program Obligations; and

               (16) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional
Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time
outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance
or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed $100.0
million.

               (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 (1) through (16) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section
4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its
incurrence (or later reclassify such Indebtedness in whole or in part) in any manner that complies
with this Section 4.09. In addition, the accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of
original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of
additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be treated as an incurrence of
Indebtedness; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of
the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to
the Credit Agreement on the date of this Supplemental Indenture will be deemed to have been
incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.”

               (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred
pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding
Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

               (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency,
the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the
incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however,

47

 

that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency
Protection Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and
interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars
will be as provided in such Currency Protection Agreement. The principal amount of any Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be
the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that (1) such U.S.
Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Protection Agreement, in which case the
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence,
and (2)the principal amount of the Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount
of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as
appropriate, will be determined on the date such Permitted Refinancing Debt is incurred.

          SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

               (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value
(measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the
assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of, as approved in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors; and

               (2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this
provision only (and specifically not for the purposes of the definition of “Net Proceeds”),
each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

               (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most
recent balance sheet) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent
liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any
Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets;

               (ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that within 180 days are converted by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that
conversion);

               (iii) the fair market value of (x) any assets (other than securities or current assets)
received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that will be used or useful in a
Related Business, (y) Equity Interests in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a
Person engaged in a Related Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately
upon the acquisition of such Equity Interests by the Company or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary or (z) a combination of (x) and (y); provided that the determination of the fair
market value of assets or Equity Interests in excess of $25.0

48

 

million received in any transaction or series of related transactions shall be
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

               (iv) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all
other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iv) since the Issue
Date that is at the time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at
the time of receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the fair market value of
each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

               (b) Within a period of 360 days (commencing after the Issue Date) after the receipt of any Net
Proceeds of any Asset Sale (provided that if during such 360-day period after the receipt of any
such Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) enters into a definitive
binding agreement committing it to apply such Net Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of
clause (B) or (D) of this Section 4.10(b) after such 360th day, such 360-day period will be
extended with respect to the amount of Net Proceeds so committed for a period not to exceed 180
days until such Net Proceeds are required to be applied in accordance with such agreement (or, if
earlier, until termination of such agreement)), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its
option, may apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

               (A) to repay, prepay, redeem or repurchase Indebtedness (other
than securities) under Credit Facilities and, if such Indebtedness
is revolving credit Indebtedness, effect a permanent reduction in
the availability under such revolving credit facility (or effect a
permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit
facility regardless of the fact that no prepayment is required in
order to do so (in which case no prepayment shall be required));

               (B) to acquire Equity Interests in a Person that is engaged in
a Related Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary
immediately upon the acquisition of such Equity Interests by the
Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary;

               (C) to make capital expenditures in a Related Business;

               (D) to acquire other assets (other than securities or current
assets) that will be used or useful in a Related Business; or

49

 

               (E) to a combination of prepayments and investments permitted
by the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D).

               (c) Pending the final application of such Net Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit Facilities or any other revolving
credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this
Supplemental Indenture. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.10(c), on the 361st day (as
extended pursuant to the provisions in Section 4.10(b)) after an Asset Sale or such earlier date,
if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to
apply the Net Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clause (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E)
of Section 4.10(b) (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net
Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted
in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of Section 4.10(b) (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall
be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net
Proceeds Offer”) on the Purchase Date, from all Holders (and, if required by the terms of any other
Indebtedness of the Company ranking pari passu with the Notes in right of payment and which has
similar provisions requiring the Company either to make an offer to repurchase or to otherwise
repurchase, redeem or repay such Indebtedness with the proceeds from Asset Sales (the “Pari Passu
Indebtedness”), from the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness) on a pro rata basis (in
proportion to the respective principal amounts or accreted value, as the case may be, of the Notes
and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness) an aggregate principal amount of Notes (plus, if applicable,
an aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of Pari Passu Indebtedness)
equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount. The offer price in any Net Proceeds Offer shall be equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (or 100% of the principal amount or accreted value, as
the case may be, of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to the Purchase Date; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration
received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any
Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest
received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition
shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied
in accordance with this Section 4.10. The Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is
an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $35.0 million resulting
from one or more Asset Sales (at which time the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and
not just the amount in excess of $35.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this
Section 4.10(c), and in which case the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date shall be deemed to be the
earliest date that the Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or in excess of $35.0 million).

               (d) To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes (plus, if applicable, the
aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of Pari Passu Indebtedness)
validly tendered by the Holders thereof and not withdrawn exceeds the Net Proceeds Offer Amount,
Notes of tendering Holders (and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered by the holders
thereof) will be purchased in accordance with Applicable Procedures if the Notes are Global
Securities, otherwise on a pro rata basis (based on the principal amount of the Notes and, if
applicable, the principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of any such Pari Passu
Indebtedness tendered and not withdrawn). To the extent that the aggregate

50

 

principal amount of the Notes (plus, if applicable, the aggregate principal amount or accreted
value, as the case may be, of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds
Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such excess Net Proceeds
Offer Amount for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this
Supplemental Indenture. Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer
Amount shall be reset at zero. A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days or such longer period as may be required by applicable law.

               (e) The Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, will comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase
of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10 or Section 3.04, the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Supplemental Indenture by virtue
thereof.

          SECTION 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

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

               (1) such 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 at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person who is
not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; and

               (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

     (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate
certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that
such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board of Directors; and

     (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an
opinion as to the fairness to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary of
such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting,
appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

51

 

               (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will
not be subject to Section 4.11(a):

               (1) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries or
exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries;

               (2) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07;

               (3) reasonable fees and compensation paid to (including issuances and grants of Equity
Interests of the Company, employment agreements and stock option and ownership plans for the
benefit of), and indemnity and insurance provided on behalf of, officers, directors,
employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course
of business as approved in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or senior
management;

               (4) transactions pursuant to any agreement in effect on the Issue Date and disclosed in
the Prospectus Supplement (including by incorporation by reference), as in effect on the
Issue Date or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner, that, taken as a whole, is
not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes or the Company in any material respect
than such agreement as it was in effect on the Issue Date;

               (5) loans or advances to employees and officers of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries permitted by clause (8) of the definition of “Permitted Investments.”

               (6) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary and any of their joint ventures; provided that (a) such transaction or series of
transactions is in the ordinary course of business between the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary and such joint venture and (b) with respect to any such Affiliate Transaction
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction
complies with Section 4.11(a)(1) and such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company;

               (7) any service, purchase, lease, supply or similar agreement entered into in the
ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, pursuant to any joint venture
agreement) between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate that is a
customer, client, supplier, purchaser or seller of goods or services, so long as the senior
management or Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that any such
agreement is on terms no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than
those that could be obtained in a comparable arms’-length transaction with an entity that is
not an Affiliate;

               (8) the issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock; or

               (9) any transaction effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction.

52

 

          SECTION 4.12 Liens.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, (1) assign or convey any right to receive income on any property or asset now owned or
hereafter acquired or (2) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing
Indebtedness or trade payables on any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired or on any
income or profits therefrom other than, in each case, Permitted Liens, unless the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, are

               (1) in the case of any Lien securing an Obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes
or a Subsidiary Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such
Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such
Obligation with a Lien on the same properties or assets of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be; and

               (2) in the case of any Lien securing an Obligation that is subordinated in right of
payment to the Notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the
Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same properties
or assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that is prior to
the Lien securing such subordinated obligation, in each case, for so long as such Obligation
is secured by such Lien.

          SECTION 4.13 Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

               (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the
Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of such Holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive
interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date fixed for redemption).

               (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each
Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
3.04, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

               (c) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e)
of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of
Notes pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under any covenant of this Supplemental Indenture by virtue of this compliance.

               (d) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if (1) 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 Supplemental Indenture

53

 

applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption has
been given prior to the Change of Control pursuant to Section 3.02, unless and until there is a
default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price.

     (e) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control and conditioned
upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement with respect to the
Change of Control is in place at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

          SECTION 4.14 Corporate Existence.

          Except as otherwise permitted by Article 5, the Company will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

          SECTION 4.15 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

          If, on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Subsidiary
or an Excluded Subsidiary), then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary will become a
Guarantor and, within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created, the Company
shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to:

               (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee (a) a supplemental indenture in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall
unconditionally Guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this
Indenture and (b) a notation of Subsidiary Guarantee in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form of Exhibit B; and

               (ii) deliver to the Trustee one or more Opinions of Counsel that such supplemental
indenture and Subsidiary Guarantee (a) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such
Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with their terms.

          SECTION 4.16 Compliance Certificate.

          In addition to the statements of the Company and the Guarantors required pursuant to Section
1004 of the Base Indenture, the Company will, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver
to the Trustee, as soon as possible, but in no event later than five days after any officer
becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default
or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposed to take with respect thereto.

          SECTION 4.17 Covenant Suspension.

          If on any date following the Issue Date the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both
Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is

54

 

continuing under this Indenture, then beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the
following paragraph, the following Sections in this Supplemental Indenture shall be suspended:

	 	(1)	 	Section 4.04,
	 
	 	(2)	 	Section 4.07,
	 
	 	(3)	 	Section 4.08,
	 
	 	(4)	 	Section 4.09,
	 
	 	(5)	 	Section 4.10,
	 
	 	(6)	 	Section 4.11, and
	 
	 	(7)	 	clause (a)(iii) of Section 5.01

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). The period during which covenants are suspended pursuant
to this Section 4.17 is called the “Suspension Period.” The Company will notify the Trustee in
writing of the commencement and termination of any Suspension Period.

          In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended
Covenants for any period of time as a result of the third preceding sentence and, subsequently, one
of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes so that
the Notes no longer have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies or a Default or Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will from
such time and thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants and compliance with the
Suspended Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal,
Default or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07 and
Section 4.09 as though such covenants had been in effect during the entire period of time from the
Issue Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture,
the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist
under this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the
Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall
bear any liability with respect to the Suspended Covenants for, (a) any actions taken or events
occurring during a Suspension Period (including without limitation any agreements, Liens, preferred
stock, obligations (including Indebtedness), or of any other facts or circumstances or obligations
that were incurred or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period) or (b) any actions
required to be taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation entered into during a
Suspension Period, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the
applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.

SUCCESSORS

          SECTION 5.01 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

55

 

               (a) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or sell, assign, transfer, lease,
convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets (determined on
a consolidated basis) to any Person or group of affiliated Persons, or permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to enter into any such transaction or transactions if such transaction or
transactions, in the aggregate, would result in the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any other Person or group of Persons unless:

               (i) either:

                    (1) the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation or

                    (2) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the
Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition has been made is (the “Surviving Entity”) a corporation organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

               (ii) the Surviving Entity, if applicable, expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture
(in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to
the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant of the Notes and this
Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

               (iii) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction or series of
transactions and the assumption contemplated by clause (ii) above (including giving effect
to any Indebtedness and Acquired Debt, in each case, incurred or anticipated to be incurred
in connection with or in respect of such transaction), the Company or such Surviving Entity,
as the case may be, shall be (a) able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
(other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to Section 4.09 or (b) have a Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio that is greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition;
provided, however, that this clause (iii) shall not apply during any Suspension Period;

               (iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions and
the assumption contemplated by clause (ii) above (including, without limitation, giving
effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Debt, in each case, incurred or anticipated to be
incurred and any Lien granted in connection with
or in respect of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; and

               (v) the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance

56

 

or other disposition
and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture, comply with the applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture
and that all conditions precedent in this Supplemental Indenture relating to such
transaction have been satisfied.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the merger of the Company with an Affiliate incorporated solely
for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction shall be permitted without
regard to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. For purposes of the foregoing, the
transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of
transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of the Company.

               (b) Each Guarantor will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Guarantor to,
directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or
merge with or into any Person other than the Company or any other Guarantor unless:

               (i) if the Guarantor was a corporation or limited liability company under the laws of
the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, the entity formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a corporation or
limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia;

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

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

               (iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net
proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company could satisfy the provisions of clause
(iii) of Section 5.01(a).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this Section 5.01(b) will not apply to any
transaction pursuant to which such Guarantor is permitted to be released from its Subsidiary
Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 of this Supplemental Indenture or
Section 1304 of the Base Indenture.

          SECTION 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted.

          Upon any consolidation or merger of the Company or Guarantor or any sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company or Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01 in which the Company or Guarantor is not the
continuing corporation, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company
or Guarantor is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may

57

 

exercise every right and
power of, the Company or Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes or Subsidiary Guarantees, as
applicable, with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be released from its obligations under this Indenture or the
Notes in the case of a lease.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          SECTION 6.01 Events of Default and Remedies.

               (a) In addition to those specified in Section 501 of the Base Indenture, each of the following
is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

               (1) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the
provisions of Section 5.01;

               (2) a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be
issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is
Guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) whether such
Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

               (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or 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
express maturity; and

               (C) in each case, the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the

ARTICLE 7

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

          SECTION 7.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth
in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 7.02 or 7.03 hereof be
applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Article 7.

          SECTION 7.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 7.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
7.02, the Company and the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 7.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all
Outstanding Notes and to have each Guarantor’s obligations discharged with respect to its
Subsidiary Guarantee on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes,
which will thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 7.05 hereof
and other Sections of this Supplemental Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have
satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following provisions which
will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of
Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust fund described in Section 7.04 hereof, (b)
the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations with respect to the Notes and the Subsidiary
Guarantees under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 of the Base Indenture, (c) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture, and the Company’s
obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 7. Subject to
compliance

60

 

with this
Article 7, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 7.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 7.03 hereof.

          SECTION 7.03 Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 7.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
7.03, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 7.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants
contained in Sections 3.04, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15,
5.01(a)(iii) and 5.01(b)(iv) with respect to the Outstanding Notes, and the Events of Default set
forth in Sections 6.01(a)(2) or (3) of this Supplemental Indenture shall cease to apply, in each
case, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 7.04 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will 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 it is intended 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, each Guarantor and each Restricted Subsidiary
may omit to comply with and will have not 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 will not constitute a
Default or Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof or Section 501 of the Base Indenture, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected
hereby.

          SECTION 7.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

          The following will be the conditions to the application of either Section 7.02 or 7.03 hereof
to the Outstanding Notes:

          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

               (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof,
in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest), in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the
Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest 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 shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (1) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (2) since
the Issue Date , there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case
to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm

61

 

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 shall have delivered 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;

               (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either: (1) 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); or (2) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or
insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
deposit;

               (e) (such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under this Indenture or any material agreement or instrument to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
bound (other than any such default under this Indenture resulting solely from the borrowing of
funds to be applied to such deposit);

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

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

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

          SECTION 7.05 Deposited Money and Governmental Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions.

     Subject to Section 7.06 hereof, all cash and U.S. Governmental Obligations (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for
purposes of this Section 7.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 7.04 hereof in respect of the
Outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon

62

 

in respect of
principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

          The Company and the Guarantors will 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 7.04 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 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any cash or U.S. Government
Obligations held by its as provided in Section 7.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 7.04(a) hereof), are in excess of
the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          SECTION 7.06 Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 7.02 or 7.03 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 will be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 7.02 or 7.03 hereof until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
7.02 or 7.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive
such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 8

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

          SECTION 8.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

          This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to the

this Indenture) as to all Outstanding Notes when:

deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in
U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants delivered to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay
and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and
accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

          (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such

               (e) to add any Person as a Guarantor;

               (f) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the

               (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a
successor Trustee;

               (i) to secure all of the Notes;

               (j) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders or

          SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

          Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting
as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes, and, subject to Sections 508 and 513 of the
Base Indenture) and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment
default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or

Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the
amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental indenture or waiver. However, without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected,
an amendment, supplement 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, including the waiver of Defaults or Events of Default, or to a rescission and

Notes on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment;

               (f) change the price payable by the Company for Notes repurchased pursuant Section 4.10 or
Section 4.13 or after the occurrence of a Change of Control, modify or change in any material
respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer or modify
any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

               (g) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium
on, the Notes; provided that this clause (g) shall not limit the right of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to rescind and cancel a declaration
of acceleration of the Notes following delivery of an acceleration notice as described in Article
FIVE of the Base Indenture;

               (h) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this
Indenture, except as permitted by this Indenture;

               (i) contractually subordinate the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees to any other
Indebtedness; or

          The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 2, 2010 (the “Base

“Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), each among the
Company, 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.C. § § 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Trust
Indenture Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those 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 Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 of the Supplemental
Indenture, to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Supplemental Indenture. The
Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class

          At any time prior to March 1, 2014, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of
the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any), at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of
Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date.

          On or after March 1, 2014, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a
portion of the Notes at the Redemption Prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount) set
forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 on

option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Supplemental Indenture at a
Redemption Price of 107.250% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
Redemption Date, with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however,
that (1)at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes remains

A-4

 

Outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and (2) each such
redemption occurs within 120 days after the date of the closing of the related Equity Offering.

6. Notice of Redemption

          Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at his or her registered address.

7. Repurchase at Option of Holder

          If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company
purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture
(the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior
to the date fixed for redemption). Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of
Control occurred, the Company must send a notice to each Holder that shall govern the terms of the
Change of Control Offer and shall be in compliance with the Indenture. Holders electing to have a
Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control 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, to the
Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice.

8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

          The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in
accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes
selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the
Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date.

9. Persons Deemed Owners

          The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. Discharge and Defeasance

          Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or
all of its and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company
deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and
interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

11. Amendment, Waiver

A-5

 

          Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees 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 provisions of the Indenture, the
Subsidiary Guarantees 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 (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).
Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be
amended to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; to provide for the
assumption of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a
merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s
assets; or 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.

12. Defaults and Remedies

          If any Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the
Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the
respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become
immediately due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided
in the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any
trust or power. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
the Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Company is required to
deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13. Guarantee

          The full and punctual payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior
unsecured basis by each of the Guarantors.

14. Trustee Dealings with the Company

          Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee under the
Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

15. No Recourse Against Others

A-6

 

          Any past, present, or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, as
such, of the Company, any Guarantors or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees or for
any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting
a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.

16. Authentication

          This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent) signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

17. Abbreviations

          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM

survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors
Act).

18. CUSIP Numbers

          Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the
Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices, including 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 such notice and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers placed thereon.

          THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS NOTE
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
