Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC are acting as representatives.

          This Agreement is entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement, dated April 19,

provides for, among other things, the sale by the Company to the Initial Purchasers of $250,000,000

Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by each of the Guarantors. The
Notes and the Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”. In order
to induce the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Issuers have agreed to

     2. Exchange Offer

          (a) The Issuers shall file with the SEC, no later than the Filing Date, a Registration Statement
(the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate registration form with
respect to a registered offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange any and all of the
Registrable Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of notes of the Company, guaranteed by
the Guarantors, that are identical in all material respects to the Securities, except that the
Exchange Notes shall contain no restrictive legend thereon and no provision for payment of
additional interest in the event of a registration default (the “Exchange Notes”), and
which are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or a trust indenture which is identical in all
material respects to the Indenture (other than such changes to the Indenture or any such identical
trust indenture as are necessary to comply with the TIA) and which, in either case, has been
qualified under the TIA. Interest on each Exchange Note will accrue (A) from the later of (1) the
last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Note surrendered, or (2) if the Note
is surrendered for exchange on a date in a period which includes the record date for an interest
payment date to occur on or after the date of the exchange and as to which interest will be paid,
such interest payment date or (B) if no interest has been paid on that Note, from the Issue Date.
The Exchange Offer shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the
Exchange Act and other applicable laws. The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to (x)
cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
on or before the Effectiveness Date; (y) keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for not less
than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date that notice of the Exchange
Offer is mailed to Holders; and (z) consummate the Exchange Offer on or before November 22, 2006.
If, after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is initially declared effective by the SEC, the
Exchange Offer or the issuance of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) thereunder is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
governmental agency or court, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed not to have
become effective for purposes of this Agreement.

          Each Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer will be required, as a condition to its
participation in the Exchange Offer, to represent to the Company in writing (which may be contained
in the applicable letter of transmittal) (1) that any Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be
received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (2) that at the time of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any
Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) in
violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (3) that such Holder is not an
“affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of any Issuer,
(4) if the holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage
in, the distribution of Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and (5) if the holder is a
broker-dealer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) that it will receive the Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) for its own account in exchange for Securities that were acquired as a
result of market-making or other trading activities, and that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees).

 - 5 -

 

          Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section 2, the provisions of
this Agreement shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, solely with respect to
Registrable Securities that are Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable and Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) held by Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Issuers shall have no further obligation
to register Registrable Securities (other than Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and
other than in respect of any Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) as to which clause 2(c)(iv)
hereof applies) pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

          No securities other than the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) shall be included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement; provided, however that if the Company issues under the
Indenture additional 5.95% Senior Notes due 2011 (and related guarantees) that are identical in all
material respects to the Notes and have the same CUSIP number as the Notes (“Additional
Notes”), the Company may include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a like aggregate
principal amount of notes of the Company, guaranteed by the Guarantors, that are identical in all
material respects to the Additional Notes, except that such notes shall contain no restrictive
legend thereon, provided further, however, that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) as
defined in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2006, by and among the
Company, the guarantors named therein and the Initial Purchasers relating to the Company’s 6.50%
Senior Notes due 2016 may be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The period of
resale restrictions applicable to any Notes previously offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A
under the Securities Act shall automatically be extended to the last day of the period of any
resale restrictions imposed on such Additional Notes.

          (b) The Issuers shall include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Initial
Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the
staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any Participating
Broker-Dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of
Exchange Notes received by such Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, whether such
positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or
policies represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution”
section shall also expressly permit, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations
of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act with respect to the Exchange Notes, including, to the extent
permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and
include a statement describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the
Exchange Notes in compliance with the Securities Act.

          The Issuers shall use their best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to permit such
Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act with respect to the Exchange Notes for such period of time as is necessary to
comply with applicable law in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes covered thereby;
provided, however, that such period shall not exceed 180 days after such

 - 6 -

 

Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective (or such longer period if extended
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof) (the “Applicable Period”).

          If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Holder holds any Registrable Securities
acquired by it that have, or that are reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of an
unsold allotment in an initial distribution, or any Holder is not entitled to participate in the
Exchange Offer, the Issuers upon the request of any such Holder shall simultaneously with the
delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to any such Holder, in
exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for such Registrable Securities held by any such Holder,
a like principal amount of notes (the “Private Exchange Notes”) of the Company, guaranteed
by the Guarantors, that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes except for the
placement of a restrictive legend on such Private Exchange Notes. The Private Exchange Notes shall
be issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes and bear the same CUSIP number as
the Exchange Notes.

          In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall:

     (i) mail, or cause to be mailed, to each Holder of record entitled to participate
in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and
related documents;

     (ii) use their best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for not
less than 30 days after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to
Holders (or longer if required by applicable law);

     (iii) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with an address in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;

     (iv) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close
of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Exchange Offer
shall remain open; and

     (v) otherwise comply in all material respects with all laws, rules and regulations
applicable to the Exchange Offer.

          As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if any,
the Issuers shall:

     (vi) accept for exchange all Registrable Securities that are validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if
any;

     (vii) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted
for exchange; and

 - 7 -

 

     (viii) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of
Securities that are accepted for exchange, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees), as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the
Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

          The Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and the Private Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) shall be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material
respects to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA or is exempt
from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) shall
not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture or such
indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), the Private Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) and the Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters as
one class and that none of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), the Private Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) or the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate
class on any matter.

          (c) If, (i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations by the SEC
staff, the Issuers are not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not
consummated by November 22, 2006, (iii) in certain circumstances, certain holders of Private
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) so request in writing to the Company, or (iv) in the case
of any Holder that tenders Securities in response to the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not
receive Exchange Notes on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state
and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of
any of the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act), then in the case of each of clauses
(i) to and including (iv) of this sentence, the Issuers shall (a) promptly deliver to the Holders
and the Trustee written notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and (b) at its sole expense and
as promptly as practicable shall file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) a Filing Date or
Effectiveness Date (or other date by which a filing is to be made or become effective) would fall
on a day that is not a Business Day or (ii) the date by which the Exchange Offer is to be
consummated would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Filing Date, Effectiveness Date
(or other date by which a filing is to be made or become effective) or consummation date shall
instead be the next succeeding Business Day.

     3. Shelf Registration

          If at any time a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, then:

          (a) Shelf Registration. The Issuers shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement for
an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable
Securities not exchanged in the Exchange Offer, Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable (the
“Initial Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its best efforts to file
with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration Statement on or before the applicable Filing Date.

 - 8 -

 

The Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form
permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by Holders in the manner or
manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings).
The Issuers shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Securities to be included in
the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement (as defined
below); provided, however that if the Company issues Additional Notes, the Company may include the
Additional Notes in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement.

          The Issuers shall use their best efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective under the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Date and to keep the
Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date
which is two years from the Issue Date (the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period
ending when (i) all Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement
or (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or an earlier Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act;
provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement shall be extended to the extent required to permit dealers to comply with
the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as
otherwise provided herein.

          (b) Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during
the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered
thereunder), the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of such cessation of
effectiveness amend the Initial Shelf Registration Statement in a manner to obtain the withdrawal
of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional “shelf” Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities covered by and not sold
under the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement (each, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as
practicable after such filing and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate
number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf
Registration Statement” means the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and any Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement.

          (c) Supplements and Amendments. The Issuers shall promptly supplement and amend any Shelf
Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used for such Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act, or
if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal

 - 9 -

 

amount of the Registrable Securities (or their counsel) covered by such Registration Statement
or by any underwriter of such Registrable Securities.

     4. Additional Interest

          (a) The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the
Issuers fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not
be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuers agree
to pay, as liquidated damages, additional interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”)
under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent
effect):

     (i) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC on or before the applicable
Filing Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have consummated or will
consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration
Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC on
or before the Filing Date applicable thereto, then, commencing on the day after any
such Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the
Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following
each such Filing Date, and such Additional Interest rate shall increase by an
additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; or

     (ii) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC on or before the
applicable Effectiveness Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have
consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file
a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement has not been
declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Date with
respect to such Shelf Registration Statement, then, commencing on the day after such
Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the
Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following
the day after such Effectiveness Date, and such Additional Interest rate shall
increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day
period; or

     (iii) if (A) the Issuers have not exchanged Exchange Notes (and related guarantees)
for all Registrable Securities validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the
Exchange Offer on or before November 22, 2006 or (B) if applicable, a Shelf
Registration Statement has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration
Statement ceases to be effective at any time during the Effectiveness Period, then,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Securities at a rate
of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days commencing on (x) November 22, 2006, in the
case of (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be
effective in the case of (B) above, and such

 - 10 -

 

Additional Interest rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;

provided, however, that Additional Interest on the Notes may not under any
circumstance accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 4 and the rate at which Additional Interest accrues on the Notes as a result of the
provisions of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4 may not exceed in the aggregate 1.0%
per annum; provided further, that (1) upon the filing of the applicable Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration Statement as required hereunder
(in the case of clause (i) of this Section 4), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration Statement as required hereunder (in the
case of clause (ii) of this Section 4), or (3) upon the exchange of the Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) for all Securities tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A) of this Section 4), or upon
the effectiveness of a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement in the case of Shelf Registration
Statement which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) of this Section 4),
Additional Interest on the Registrable Notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause
thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.

          (b) The Issuers shall notify the Trustee within three business days after each and every date on
which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event
Date”), which notice shall also be at least three business days prior to the date of any
payment to be made in accordance with the following sentence. Any amounts of Additional Interest
due pursuant to (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash
simultaneously with, and to the same persons entitled to receive, stated interest on the Notes,
commencing with the first such payment of interest occurring after any such Additional Interest
commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest payable with respect to Registrable Notes
will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount
of the Registrable Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual
number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

     5. Registration Procedures

          In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3
hereof, the Issuers shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the securities covered
thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant
thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuers hereunder each of
the Issuers shall:

          (a) Prepare and file with the SEC before the applicable Filing Date, a Registration Statement or
Registration Statements as prescribed by Sections 2 or 3 hereof, and use its best efforts to cause
each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein;
provided, however, that, if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2)
a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating

 - 11 -

 

Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable
Period relating thereto, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto, the Issuers shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the
case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to
review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by
reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least five days
prior to such filing, or such later date as is reasonable under the circumstances). The Issuers
shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in
such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their
counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object.

          (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf
Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period
or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by
any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to each of them
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so
amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any
securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus. The Issuers
shall be deemed not to have used their best efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective
during the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be, relating thereto, if
any of the Issuers voluntarily takes any action that would result in selling Holders of the
Registrable Securities covered thereby or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) not being able to sell such Registrable Securities or such Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) during that period unless such action is required by applicable law
or permitted by this Agreement.

          (c) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period relating thereto
from whom any of the Issuers has received written notice that it will be a Participating
Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, notify the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, or each
such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters,
if any, promptly (but in any event within one day), and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with
respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective under the Securities Act (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder
may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of such
Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules,
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the
issuance by the SEC of any stop order

 - 12 -

 

suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered
in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities or resales of Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) by Participating Broker-Dealers, the representations and warranties of the Issuers
contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 5(l)
hereof cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) of the receipt by any of the
Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the
happening of any event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known that makes
any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires the making of any changes in or amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of
the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the Issuers’
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

          (d) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or suspending the
qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities or the
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in
any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment.

          (e) If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 and if requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering or any
Participating Broker-Dealer, (i) as promptly as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any),
such Holders, any Participating Broker-Dealer or counsel for any of them reasonably request to be
included therein, (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, and (iii)
supplement or make amendments to such Registration Statement.

 - 13 -

 

          (f) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, furnish to each
selling Holder of Registrable Securities and to each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so
requests and to their respective counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, at the sole expense
of the Issuers, one conformed copy of the Registration Statement or Registration Statements and
each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if
requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all
exhibits.

          (g) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, deliver to each
selling Holder of Registrable Securities, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may
be, their respective counsel, and the underwriters, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, as
many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and
each amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as such
Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5, the Issuers
hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by, or the sale by Participating
Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) pursuant to, such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto.

          (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during
the Applicable Period, use its best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may
be, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection
with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of
such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, or the
managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request in writing; provided,
however, that where Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) held by Participating
Broker-Dealers or Registrable Securities are offered other than through an underwritten offering,
the Issuers agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file registrations
and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 5(h), keep each such registration
or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement
is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Securities covered by the
applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that none of the Issuers

 - 14 -

 

shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in excess of a
nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

          (i) If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be
sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for
deposit with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such
denominations permitted by the Indenture and registered in such names as the managing underwriter
or underwriters, if any, or Holders may request, provided, however, that the Registrable Notes are
also transferable by delivery through means other than on the records of the Depository Trust
Company or another clearing agency, in which case such preparation and delivery of certificates
representing the Registrable Notes shall not be required.

          (j) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, upon the
occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as
practicable prepare and (subject to Section 5(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of
the Issuers, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement
to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers
of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes (and
related guarantees) to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, any
such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (k) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable
Securities, (i) provide the Trustee with certificates for the Registrable Notes in a form eligible
for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable
Notes.

          (l) In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement, enter into an underwriting agreement which is customary in underwritten
offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuers and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and, in such connection, (i) make such representations
and warranties to, and covenants with, the underwriters with respect to the business of the Issuers
(including any acquired business, properties or entity, if applicable) and the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and the documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to

 - 15 -

 

be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as are customarily made by issuers to
underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities, and confirm
the same in writing if and when requested in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuers; (ii) obtain the written opinions of counsel to the Issuers and written updates thereof in
form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters,
addressed to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions reasonably
requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters; (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof in
form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters from
the independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of the Issuers, or of any business or entity acquired by
the Issuers for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included
or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold
comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the
Securities and such other matters as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters as permitted by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72, as amended by the
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 76; and (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the
same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable to the sellers and
underwriters, if any, than those set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and
procedures acceptable to Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters or
agents, if any). The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as
and to the extent required thereunder.

          (m) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, make available
for inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Securities being sold, or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such
disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained
by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or
underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during
reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
instruments of the Issuers and subsidiaries of the Issuers (collectively, the “Records”) as
shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence
responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Issuers and any of their
respective subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in
connection with such Registration Statement and Prospectus. Each Inspector shall agree in writing
that it will keep the Records confidential and that it will not disclose any of the Records that
any of the Issuers determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies the Inspectors in
writing are confidential unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct
a material misstatement or material omission in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (iii) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the

 - 16 -

 

public; provided, however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as
practicable to any of the Issuers of the potential disclosure of any information by such Inspector
pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence to permit the Issuers to obtain a protective order
(or waive the provisions of this paragraph (m)) and that such Inspector shall take such actions as
are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information (if practicable) to the
extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the
rights and interests of the Holder or any Inspector. If, in the course of performing due
diligence, any Inspector becomes aware of material non public information about the Company and its
subsidiaries, the Inspector will not, and will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that
anyone to whom the Inspector discloses the material non public information will not, trade in any
securities of the Company until the information becomes public (whether through inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement or otherwise) or the
information ceases to be material.

          (n) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees), as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust indenture provided for in
Section 2(a) hereof, as the case may be, to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective
date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities; and in connection
therewith, cooperate with the trustee under any such indenture and the Holders of the Registrable
Securities, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so
qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use their best efforts to cause
such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other
forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified
in a timely manner.

          (o) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make
generally available to its securityholders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, a
consolidated earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45
days after the end of any fiscal quarter (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such
period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable
Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and
(ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first
fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which
statements shall cover said 12-month periods.

          (p) Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to
the Company, in a form customary for underwritten transactions, addressed to the Trustee for the
benefit of all Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange, as the case may be, that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) or Private Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees), as the case may be, and the related indenture constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications.

 - 17 -

 

          (q) If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the
Registrable Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the
Issuers) to be exchanged for Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) or Private Exchange Notes (and
related guarantees), as the case may be, the Issuers shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such
Registrable Notes that such Registrable Notes are being canceled in exchange for Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) or Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), as the case may be; in
no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

          (r) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement and
each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their
respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”).

          (s) Use its best efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration
of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and/or Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

          The Issuers may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is
being effected to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding such seller and the
distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably
request. The Issuers may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any seller
so long as such seller fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving
such request. Each seller as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish
promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information
previously furnished to the Issuers by such seller not materially misleading.

          If any Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any
securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion
therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect
that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by
such Holder of the investment quality of the securities covered thereby and that such holding does
not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company,
or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the
Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such
Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to
the time that such reference ceases to be required.

          Each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by its
acquisition of such Registrable Securities or of Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold
by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon actual receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iv),
5(c)(v), or 5(c)(vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) to be sold by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, until
such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the

 - 18 -

 

copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(j) hereof, or until
it is advised in writing (an “Advice”) by the Issuers that the use of the applicable
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto. In
the event that the Issuers shall give any such notice, the Applicable Period shall be extended by
the number of days from and including the date of the giving of each such notice to and including
the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated
by Section 5(j) hereof or (y) an Advice with respect to said notice.

     6. Registration Expenses

          All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the
Issuers (other than any underwriting discounts or commissions) shall be borne by the Company
whether or not the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any Shelf Registration Statement is
filed or becomes effective or the Exchange Offer is consummated, including, without limitation, (i)
all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings
required to be made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten offering and (B) reasonable

limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the
Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and determination of the
eligibility of the Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) for investment
under the laws of the jurisdictions (x) where the holders of Registrable Securities are located, in
the case of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), or (y) as provided in Section 5(h) hereof,
in the case of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by a
Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period)), (ii) printing expenses, including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes in a
form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the
printing of prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in any
Registration Statement or in respect of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period, as the case
may be, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Issuers and reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of special counsel for the
sellers of Registrable Securities and any Participating Broker Dealers, (v) fees and disbursements
of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 5(l)(iii) hereof (including,
without limitation, the expenses of any special audit and “cold comfort” letters required by or
incident to such performance), (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Issuers desire such
insurance, (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Issuers, (viii) internal
expenses of the Issuers (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and
employees of the Issuers performing legal or accounting duties), (ix) the expense of any annual

all Registration Statements,

 - 19 -

 

underwriting agreements, indentures and any other documents necessary in order to comply with
this Agreement.

     7. Indemnification

          (a) Each of the Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder
of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) during the Applicable Period, the affiliates, officers, directors, representatives,
employees and agents of each such Person, and each Person, if any, who controls any such Person
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(each, a “Participant”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other
expenses actually incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted)
caused by, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented if any of the Issuers shall have made any amendments or supplements
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Participant, any
underwriter, or the manner in which securities are to be distributed, furnished to the Issuers in
writing by such Participant or an underwriter expressly for use therein.

          (b) Each Participant agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuers, their respective affiliates, officers, directors, representatives, employees and agents
and each Person who controls the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent (but on a several, and not joint, basis) as the
foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each Participant, but only with reference to information
relating to such Participant or the manner in which securities are to be distributed by such
Participant or someone acting on such Participant’s behalf, furnished to the Issuers in writing by
such Participant expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. The liability of any Participant under this
paragraph shall in no event exceed the proceeds received by such Participant from sales of
Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) giving rise to such obligations.

          (c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation),
claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such Person (the “Indemnified
Person”) shall promptly notify the Persons against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
“Indemnifying Persons”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Persons, upon request of the
Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Persons may reasonably

 - 20 -

 

designate (which may include the Indemnifying Persons, unless representation of the
Indemnifying Persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them) in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses actually
incurred by such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that the
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Persons (i) will not relieve them from any liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by an
Indemnifying Person of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve any
Indemnifying Person from any obligations to any Indemnified Person other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified
Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Persons and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Persons shall
have failed within a reasonable period of time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both any Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person or any affiliate thereof
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that, unless there exists a conflict
among the Indemnified Persons, the Indemnifying Persons shall not, in connection with such
proceeding or separate but substantially similar related proceeding in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such
fees and expenses shall be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for
the Participants against whom a suit, action, proceeding, claim or demand is brought or asserted
and control Persons of such Participants shall be designated in writing by Participants who sold a
majority in interest of Registrable Securities and Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) sold by
all such Participants, and any such separate firm for the Issuers, their affiliates, officers,
directors, representatives, employees and agents and such control Persons of the Issuers shall be
designated in writing by the Issuers.

          The Indemnifying Persons shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without their prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff for which any Indemnified Persons are entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Indemnifying Persons agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Persons, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional
written release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and
(B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 7 is
for any reason unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an Indemnified Person in respect
of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each

 - 21 -

 

Indemnifying Person under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person
thereunder and in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by
the Indemnifying Person or Persons on the one hand and the Indemnified Person or Persons on the
other from the applicable offering of Registrable or Exchanged Notes or (ii) if the allocation
provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative
benefits but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person or Persons on the one hand and the
Indemnified Person or Persons on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or
alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Participant or such
other Indemnified Person, as the case may be, on the other, the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission,
and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

          (e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Participants were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
judgments, liabilities and expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other
expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall a
Participant be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which proceeds received
by such Participant from sales of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees), as the case may be, exceeds the amount of any damages that such Participant has
otherwise been required to pay or has paid by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the Indemnifying
Person to the Indemnified Person as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are
incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative
and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Holder or any person who controls a Holder, or by the Company, its directors, officers, employees
or agents or any person controlling any of the Issuers, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement.

 - 22 -

 

          (g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 will be in addition to
any liability which the Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred
to above.

     8. Rules 144 and 144A

          Each of the Issuers covenants and agrees that it will file the reports required to be filed by
it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and, if at any time such Issuer is not required to file such reports, such Issuer
will, upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities, make available
such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The Company further covenants and agrees, for so long as any Registrable Securities remain
outstanding, that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the
exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144(k) and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be
amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

     9. Underwritten Registrations

          If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be
sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or
managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of such Registrable Securities included in such offering and shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Issuers.

          No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements and (b) completes and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other customary documents required by the
Company or the underwriter in connection with such underwriting arrangements.

     10. Miscellaneous

          (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers have not, as of the date hereof, and the
Issuers shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any
of their securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable
Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted
to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights
granted to the holders of the Issuers’ other issued and outstanding securities under any such
agreements. The Issuers will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities
which will grant to any Person piggyback registration rights with respect to any Registration
Statement; provided, however that the Company may enter into an agreement in

 - 23 -

 

connection with the issuance of Additional Notes which will grant the holders of the
Additional Notes the right to have them included in a Registration Statement.

          (b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Issuers shall not, directly or
indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Securities as a class that would
adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable
Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

          (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified
or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
otherwise than with the prior written consent of (I) the Company and (II)(A) the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Securities
and (B) if the amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent would adversely affect the
Participating Broker-Dealers, the Participating Broker-Dealers holding not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) held by all Participating
Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that Section 7 and this Section 10(c) may not be
amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder and each
Participating Broker-Dealer (including any person who was a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer
of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), as the case may be, disposed
of pursuant to any Registration Statement) affected by any such amendment, modification or
supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable
Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not
directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of
Registrable Securities may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement.

          (d) Notices. All notices and other communications (including, without limitation, any
notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made
in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, next-day air courier or facsimile:

hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they
would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including

given by the Holders of such required percentage.

          (k) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Holders of Registrable Securities and Participating
Broker-Dealers are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and this Agreement may be

understandings, correspondence, conversations and memoranda between the Holders on the one hand and
the Issuers on the other, or between or among any agents, representatives, parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, predecessors in interest or successors in interest with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof are merged herein and replaced hereby.

THE NOTES

     Section 2.1. Form and Dating. The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication relating thereto shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, provided,
that any Initial Notes issued in a public offering shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto. The Exchange Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication relating thereto shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or depository rule or usage. The Company and the
Trustee shall approve the form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each
Note shall be dated the date of its issuance and shall show the date of its authentication.

          The terms and provisions contained in the Notes annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable,
the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to
such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

          Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A and Notes offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in
registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (each, a “Global Note”),
deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Exhibit

by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter
provided.

          Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.16 may be issued
and Notes offered and sold in reliance on any other exemption from registration under the
Securities Act other than as described in the preceding paragraph shall be issued in the form of
permanent certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A
(the “Physical Notes”).

          All Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall remain in the form of a Global
Note until the consummation of the Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;
provided, however, that all of the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement to
be complied with by the Company have been so complied with.

- 10 -

 

     Section 2.2. Execution and Authentication; Aggregate Principal Amount. An Officer of
the Company (duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall sign and attest to the Notes
for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no
longer holds that office or position at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall
nevertheless be valid.

          A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the
certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

          The Trustee shall authenticate all (i) Initial Notes; (ii) Private Exchange Notes from time to
time for issue only in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes and (iii) Unrestricted
Notes from time to time upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate
of the Company. Each such written order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and
the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes,
Private Exchange Notes or Unrestricted Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as Physical
Notes or Global Notes or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an
Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or with any
Affiliate of the Company.

          The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons, in denominations
of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Subject to applicable law, the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered on the Issue Date shall not exceed
$250,000,000; provided that, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue additional
Notes under this Indenture at any time thereafter.

     Section 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or
agency (which shall be located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, State of New
York) where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”), (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c)
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The
Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The
Company may act as its own Paying Agent. If the Company elects to act as its own paying agent, the
Company will notify the Trustee of its election and will hold for the benefit of the Holders all
assets for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes.

- 11 -

 

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of
the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company shall fail to maintain a Registrar or
Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and custodian for
service of demands and notices in connection with the Notes. Any of the Registrar, the Paying
Agent or any other agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Company.

     Section 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust. The Company shall require each
Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust
for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been
distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Company and the Paying
Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in
making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all
assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any
time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require
such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets
distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered to the
Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.

     Section 2.5. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the
Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee five (5) Business Days
before each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list as of
such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the
Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee, and the Company shall otherwise
comply with TIA § 312(a).

     Section 2.6. Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are
presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes
or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations,
the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar
or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made
for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax, fee or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental

- 12 -

 

charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.10 or 3.1, in which event the
Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes or charges).

          The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of
any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a
notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing and
(ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article III, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

          Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note,
agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a
book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership
of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry system.

     Section 2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or
if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s
requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder must provide an
indemnity bond or other indemnity of reasonable tenor, sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the
Company and the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any
of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional
obligation of the Company.

     Section 2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that
have been authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates
holds the Note.

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for
replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon
surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

          If, on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds U.S. Legal Tender or
U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest
due on the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders
thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall be
deemed not to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

     Section 2.9. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes owned
by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though they are not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee
has been informed in writing by the Company to be so owned shall be so

- 13 -

 

considered. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when either it or, to its
knowledge, any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate
principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired and such other information as
the Trustee may reasonably request and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely thereon.

     Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until typewritten Notes are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of a written
order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall
specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes
are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of typewritten Notes
but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and so indicates
in the Officers’ Certificate. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.2,
typewritten Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

     Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the
Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written
direction of the Company, shall dispose, in its customary manner, of all Notes surrendered for
transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.7, the Company may not issue new
Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the
Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

     Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal
from time to time on demand at the rate of interest borne by the Notes. The Company shall, to the
extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable
grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate of interest borne by the Notes. All such
interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, and, in
the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed.

          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted
interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the
Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be the
fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or
the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the
date of the proposed payment (a “Default Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid
in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this
Section; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company deposit monies
proposed to be paid in respect of defaulted interest later than
11:00 a.m. New York City

- 14 -

 

time on the proposed Default Interest Payment Date. At least 15 days before the
subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail (or cause to be mailed) to each Holder, as
of a recent date selected by the Company, with a copy to the Trustee at least 20 days prior to such
special record date, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the Default Interest
Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest,
if any, to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the
expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.1(1) shall be paid to Holders as of the
regular record date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

     Section 2.13. CUSIP Number. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use a “CUSIP”
number, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or exchange as
a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by
the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the
Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.

          In the event that the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Notes issued
under this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall use
its reasonable efforts to obtain the same “CUSIP” number for such Notes as is printed on the Notes
outstanding at such time and provide written notice to the Trustee to such effect; provided,
however, that if any series of Notes issued under this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date is
determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel of the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee, to be a different class of security than the Notes outstanding at such time for
federal income tax or securities laws purposes, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to
obtain a “CUSIP” number for such Notes that is different than the “CUSIP” number printed on the
Notes then outstanding and cause such opinion to be delivered to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, all Notes issued under this Indenture
shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no series of Notes will have the
right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

     Section 2.14. Deposit of Monies. Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each
Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, the Company shall have deposited with the
Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on
such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, in a timely
manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment
Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be.

     Section 2.15. Restrictive Legends. Each Global Note and Physical Note that
constitutes a Restricted Security shall bear the Private Placement Legend on the face thereof until
after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date (or in the case of any Initial Notes
issued after the Issue Date, two years after the date of initial issuance thereof) and the last
date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Note (or any
predecessor

- 15 -

 

security) (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may be required under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof).

          Each Global Note shall also bear the legend as set forth in Exhibit C.

     Section 2.16.  Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.

     (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the
nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and
(iii) bear the legend as set forth in Exhibit C.

     (b) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights
under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the
Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may 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 Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

     (c) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to
the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a
Global Note may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.17. In addition, Physical Notes shall
be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note
if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of
such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has
received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Notes.

     (d) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in a
Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.16(c), the Registrar shall (if one or more
Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the
principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount.

     (e) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
Section 2.16(c), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each
beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global
Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

- 16 -

 

     (f) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an

price of property and which do not in the aggregate impair in any material respect the use of
property in the operation of the Company’s business taken as a whole;

     (h) pledges or deposits under workmen’s compensation laws, unemployment insurance laws or
similar legislation, or good faith deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than

refunded, refinanced or extended;

     (q) easements, rights-of-way and other similar encumbrances incurred in the ordinary course

ARTICLE VI.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     Section 6.1. Events of Default.

     An “Event of Default” occurs if:

     (1) there is a default by the Company in the payment when due of interest on the Notes,
which default continues for a period of 30 days;

     (2) there is a default by the Company in the payment when due of the principal or
Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes;

     (3) there is a default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to its
obligation to pay Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than any Non-Recourse
Indebtedness), which default shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to
pay at final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million;

     (4) there is a failure to perform any other covenant or warranty of the Company herein,
which continues for 30 days after written notice;

     (5) final judgments or orders are rendered against the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of an
amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of $50 million and such judgments
or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for more than 60 days and are not being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

     (6) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law applicable
to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary: (A) commences a voluntary case; (B) consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case against it; (C)
consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its
property; or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

- 26 -

 

     (7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary; (B) appointing a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or for
any substantial part of its respective property; or (C) ordering the winding up or
liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains
unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

          Each of the occurrences described in clauses (1) through (7) will constitute an Event of
Default whatever the reason for the occurrence and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any
order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar United
States Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver,
trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

          A Default under clause (4) of this Section is not an Event of Default until the Trustee
notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes with regard to which the Company has failed to comply with a covenant or agreement notify the
Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 30 days
after the giving of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied
and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 20 days after it occurs, written notice in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event of which the Company is aware which with the giving
of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (4), its status and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect to it.

     Section 6.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of the Notes has already become due and
payable, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25 percent in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may declare the outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the
date of such declaration on all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a
declaration, such outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be
due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) of this
Indenture occurs and is continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall
automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, by notice to the Company and
the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder), may rescind any acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the outstanding principal amount
of any of the Notes that has become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due
to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of this Indenture have been

- 27 -

 

paid. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereto.

          In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and
annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and
in every such case the Company, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder and all rights, remedies and powers of
the Company, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been taken.

          The Trustee shall within 90 days after a Trust Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of a
Default or any Event of Default, mail to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders
appear upon the Note register, notice of all Defaults or Events of Default known to a Trust
Officer, unless such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived before the giving of such
notice and provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal, interest
or Redemption Price, as the case may be, on any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or officers of the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders.

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available
to the Trustee, subject to the limitations specified herein.

     Section 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default as to the Notes occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision
under this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default will not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive
of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

     Section 6.4. Waiver of Existing Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, by
notice to the Trustee may consent to the waiver of any past Default with regard to the Notes and
its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the
principal of, Notes, or (ii) a default in respect of a covenant or a provision that under Section
9.2 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.
The defaults described in clauses (i) and (ii) in the previous sentence may be waived with the
consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding. When a Default or Event of Default is
waived, it is deemed cured and not continuing, but no waiver will extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any consequent right.

- 28 -

 

     Section 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee with regard to the Notes or of exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee with regard to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.1, that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that would involve the Trustee
in personal liability provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action as a
result of a direction given under this Section, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not
taking that action.

     Section 6.6. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(1) or (2), then, upon demand of
the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the
whole amount that will then have become due and payable on all such Notes for principal, premium,
if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the
extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on the overdue
installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes; and, in addition, such further amount as
will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation
to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the
Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith. Until such demand by the
Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the
registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.

     Section 6.7. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture unless:

          (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is
continuing;

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

          (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

          (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request
and the offer of security or indemnity, and the Event of Default has not been waived; and

          (5) the Trustee has received no contrary direction from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding during such 60-day period.

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

- 29 -

 

     Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.1
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest
remaining unpaid (together with interest on that unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the
amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

     Section 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its
creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on
behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly
to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.7.

     Section 6.10. Restoration of Positions. If a judicial proceeding by the Trustee or a
Holder to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture is dismissed or decided favorably to the
Company, except as otherwise provided in the judicial proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders will be restored to the positions they would have been in if the judicial proceeding had
not been instituted.

     Section 6.11. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article
VI with respect to the Notes, it will pay out the money or property in the following order:

          FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;

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

          THIRD: to the Company.

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

     Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant
to Section 6.7, or

- 30 -

 

a suit by Holders of in aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by that Holder on or after the due date
provided in the Note.

     Section 6.13. Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company agrees (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law, wherever enacted, now or at any
subsequent time in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on any of the Notes as contemplated
in this Indenture, or which may affect the covenants or performance of this Indenture, and the
Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage
of any such law and agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
granted to the Trustee in this Indenture, but (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) will
suffer and permit the execution of any such power as though no such law had been enacted.

     Section 6.14. Liability of Stockholders, Officers, Directors and Incorporators. No
stockholder, officer, director or incorporator, as such, past, present or future, of the Company,
or any of its successor corporations, will have any personal liability in respect of the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture or any Notes by reason of his or its status as such stockholder,
officer, director or incorporator; provided, however, that nothing in this Indenture or in the
Notes will prevent recourse to and enforcement of the liability of any stockholder or subscriber to
Capital Stock in respect of shares of Capital Stock which have not been fully paid up.

ARTICLE VII.

TRUSTEE

     Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

     (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations will be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

     (ii) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed in them, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture in the absence of bad faith
on the Trustee’s part; provided, however, that the Trustee will examine the

- 31 -

 

certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the
requirements of this Indenture.

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

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

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

     (3) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to
Section 6.5; and

     (4) the Trustee will not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under
this Indenture or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it has
reasonable grounds to believe repayment of the funds or adequate indemnity against
the risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     (d) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of
or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1 and to the
provisions of the TIA.

     (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it
receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

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

     Section 7.2. Rights of Trustee.

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

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel which conforms to Section 11.5. The Trustee will not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such an Officers’ Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel.

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

- 32 -

 

     (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, except conduct which constitutes
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the Trustee will not be liable for any action
it takes or omits in reliance on, and in accordance with, written advice of counsel.

     (f) The Trustee will not be required to investigate any facts or matters stated in any
document, but if it decides to investigate any matters or facts, the Trustee or its agents or
attorneys will be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company.

     Section 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of
its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent,
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee
must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

     Section 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) is not responsible for and makes
no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, (ii) will not be accountable
for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and (iii) will not be responsible for any
statement of the Company in this Indenture, other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
or in any document used in the sale of the Notes, other than statements, if any, provided in
writing by the Trustee for use in such a document.

     Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee will give to the Holders notice of any
Default with regard to the Notes known to the Trustee, within 90 days after it occurs; provided,
that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on any Note, the Trustee will be protected in withholding notice of the Default if and so
long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that the withholding of the
notice is in the interests of the Holders.

     Section 7.6. Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each November 30 beginning with
the November 30 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, at the
name and address which appears on the registration books of the Company, and to each Holder who
has, within the two years preceding the mailing, filed that person’s name and address with the
Trustee for that purpose and each Holder whose name and address have been furnished to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 2.5, a brief report dated as of that November 30 which complies with TIA
Section 313(a). The Trustee also will comply with TIA Section 313(b).

          A copy of each report will at the time of its mailing to Holders be filed with each stock
exchange on which the Notes are listed and also with the SEC. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting of the Notes.

     Section 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company will pay to the Trustee from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation will not be

- 33 -

 

limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by
it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Those
expenses will include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company will indemnify the Trustee against
any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in
connection with the administration of the trust created by this Indenture and the performance of
its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the
Company of its obligations under this Section. The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee
may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The
Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. The Company need not reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss, expense or liability incurred by the Trustee to the
extent it is due to the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          To secure the Company’s obligation to make payments to the Trustee under this Section 7.7, the
Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal or interest on the Notes.
Those obligations of the Company will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.1 occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the
Trustee are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

          For purposes of this Section 7.7, “Trustee” will include any predecessor Trustee, but the
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of any Trustee will not affect the rights of any other
Trustee under this Section 7.7.

     Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so
notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a
successor Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

          (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

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

          (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after

- 34 -

 

the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company.

          No removal or appointment of a Trustee will be valid if that removal or appointment would
conflict with any law applicable to the Company.

          A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee will, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.7, transfer all property held by it as a Trustee to the successor
Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the
successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.
A successor Trustee will mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

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

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.7 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     Section 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to,
another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will, without any further act, be the
successor Trustee.

          If at the time a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee succeeds to
the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes have been authenticated but not delivered,
the successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of the predecessor
Trustee, and deliver the Notes which were authenticated by the predecessor Trustee; and if at that
time any of the Notes have not been authenticated, the successor to the Trustee may authenticate
those Notes either in the name of the predecessor or in its own name as the successor to the
Trustee; and in either case the certificates of authentication will have the full force provided in
this Indenture for certificates of authentication.

     Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee will at all times satisfy
the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee will at all times have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recently published annual report of
condition, which will be deemed for this paragraph to be its combined capital and surplus. The
Trustee will comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the
second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9).

- 35 -

 

     Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims. The Trustee will comply with TIA
Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed will be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     Section 8.1. Termination of the Company’s Obligations. When (1) the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes
shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (2) all the Notes not
theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and
payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year, whether at stated
maturity or upon redemption and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, monies and/or
U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay at the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as
applicable, all sums which will become due with regard to all Notes theretofore authenticated
(other than any Notes which shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or
in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not
theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal amount
and interest accrued to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, and if the Company
shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes (except as to (i) remaining
rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange of Notes, (ii) rights hereunder of
Holders to receive payments of the principal amount, including interest due with respect to the
Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect
to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (iii) the rights, obligations and
immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Notes), and the Trustee, on
demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required
by Section 8.3 and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to the Notes; the
Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter
reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee, and to compensate the Trustee for any services
thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee, in connection with this Indenture or
the Notes.

     Section 8.2. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.4, the Trustee will
hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.1. It
will apply the deposited money and the money from the U.S. Government Obligations through the
Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on the Notes with regard to which the money or U.S. Government Obligations
were deposited.

     Section 8.3. Officers’ Certificate; Opinion of Counsel. Upon any application or
demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under Section 8.1, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any,

- 36 -

 

provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have
been complied with.

          Each such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Indenture and
delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant pursuant to the
previous paragraph shall comply with the provisions of Section 11.5.

     Section 8.4. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent will promptly
pay to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. The
Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the
payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After such
payment, all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to that money will cease.

     Section 8.5. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with Section 8.2 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be revived and reinstated with respect to the
Notes as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or
the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2, provided,
however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal amount or Redemption Price of or
interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX.

MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE

     Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder:

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

     (2) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

     (3) to comply with Article 5;

     (4) to add to the covenants of the Company further covenants, restrictions or
conditions that the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the benefit
of the Holders of Notes, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a
default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a Default or an Event
of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this
Indenture;

- 37 -

 

     (5) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Trustee with respect to the Notes; or

     (6) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as
shall be necessary for this Indenture to comply with the TIA, or under any similar federal
statute hereafter enacted.

          After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders
a notice briefly describing the amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any
defect in a notice, will not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

     Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. The Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance by the Company
with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Holder. However, without
the consent of the Holder so affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver
pursuant to Section 6.4, may:

     (1) extend the fixed maturity of any Note or any installment of interest thereon,
reduce the principal amount, interest rate, Redemption Price, or amount due upon
acceleration, impair the right of a Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof, change
the currency in which the Notes are payable;

     (2) reduce the percentage of Notes required to consent to an amendment, supplement or
waiver;

     (3) release any Guarantor except as provided in Article X hereof; or

     (4) make any change in Section 6.4 or 6.8 or the second sentence of this Section.

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

     Section 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to
this Indenture or the Notes will comply with the TIA as then in effect.

     Section 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents. A consent to an amendment, supplement
or waiver by a Holder will bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a
Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent
is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as
to the Holder’s Note or portion of a Note. For a revocation to be effective, the Trustee must
receive notice of the revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or

- 38 -

 

waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms, it will bind every Holder of every Note.

     Section 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver
changes the terms of the Notes, the Trustee may require the Holder of a Note to deliver the
Holder’s Note to the Trustee, who will place an appropriate notation about the amendment,
supplement or waiver on the Note and will return it to the Holder. Alternatively, the Company may,
in exchange for the Note, issue, and the Trustee will authenticate, a new Note that reflects the
amendment, supplement or waiver.

     Section 9.6. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee will sign any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to Article II or this Article IX if the amendment,
supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee. If it does adversely affect those rights, liabilities or immunities, the Trustee may but
need not sign it. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the amendment or
supplement is approved by an appropriate Board Resolution.

ARTICLE X.

GUARANTEE OF NOTES

     Section 10.1. Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor, if any, hereby jointly and
severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (such guarantee to be referred to herein as a
“Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee
and its successors and assigns, that: (a) all amounts due with respect to the Notes shall be duly
and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the
Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or thereunder and all other obligations shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all
in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid
in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or
failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders under this Indenture or
under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or
cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the
Notes shall constitute an event of default under each Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of
Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same
extent as the obligations of the Company.

          Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of
any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is
affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might

- 39 -

 

otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each of the
Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that
its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained
in the Notes, this Indenture and each Guarantee. Each Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not
of collection. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders
of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article X, the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes
of each Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not
due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of each
Guarantee.

          No stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past, present or future, of any
Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under any Guarantee by reason of his, her or
its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator.

          Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to a
contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each
Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

     Section 10.2. Limitations on Guarantees; Release or Suspension of Particular Guarantors’
Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the
maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or
pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, will result in the obligations of
such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
under federal or state law.

          The Guarantors shall include (i) each of the Guarantors named on the signature pages of this
Indenture and (ii) each of the Company’s Subsidiaries that in the future executes a Guarantee in
substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto in which such Subsidiary agrees to be bound by the terms
hereof as a Guarantor.

          If any Guarantor is released from its guarantee of the outstanding Indebtedness of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary, such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations
as Guarantor, and from and after such date, such Guarantor shall cease to constitute a Guarantor.

          The obligations of a Guarantor will be automatically suspended, and such Guarantor shall not
constitute a Guarantor and shall not have any obligations with regard to the Notes, during any
period when the principal amount of the Company’s obligations and any Restricted Subsidiary’s
obligations as a guarantor of the Company’s obligations, in each case

- 40 -

 

other than the Notes and other Indebtedness containing provisions similar to this, that the
Guarantor is guaranteeing total less than $75 million.

     Section 10.3. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee
set forth in Section 10.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Trustee a
Guarantee in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto. Such Guarantee shall be executed on
behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer or agent of each
Guarantor, each of whom, in each case, shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all
requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected
by the fact that it is not affixed to any Note or Notes.

          If an officer or agent of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note to which such Guarantee
relates or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid
nevertheless.

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

     Section 10.4. Release of a Guarantor due to Extraordinary Events. If no Default
exists or would exist under this Indenture, upon the sale or disposition of all of the Capital
Stock of a Guarantor by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, or upon the consolidation or
merger of a Guarantor with or into any Person (in each case, other than to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary), or if any Guarantor is dissolved or liquidated, such
Guarantor and each Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is also a Guarantor shall be deemed released
from all obligations under this Article X without any further action required on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder.

          The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or a Guarantor in
order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee of the
Notes under this Article X.

          Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or
merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or
conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.

     Section 10.5. Waiver of Subrogation. Until this Indenture is discharged and all of
the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not
to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations
under the Notes or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under each Guarantee and this
Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of the Holders against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right
arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including,

- 41 -

 

without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in
cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such
claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding
sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes, this
Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such
agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to
have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the
Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such
Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as
the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.5 is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     Section 10.6. No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect
of the Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Obligations are
denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind
or nature.

     Section 10.7. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are
and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable
by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a
Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in
respect thereof.

     Section 10.8. Obligations Continuing. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the obligations have been
paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it will from time to time
deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of its continued liability hereunder and under any
other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will
prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any
statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so
to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Guarantor to make,
execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from
time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of
counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

     Section 10.9. Obligations Not Reduced. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 10.2
and 10.4, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged
except solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or
amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII be or
become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or this
Indenture.

     Section 10.10. Obligations Reinstated. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
payment

- 42 -

 

which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such
payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is
rescinded or reclaimed from the Trustee or any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company
is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such
Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable
by each Guarantor as provided herein.

     Section 10.11. Obligations Not Affected. Except as otherwise provided in Sections
10.2 and 10.4, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or
diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or
after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any Guarantor
or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense
to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any
Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether
occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

     (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating
to the Company or any other person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation,
reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or
affecting the Company or any other person;

     (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness
or other obligation of the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other
document or instrument;

     (c) any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or
comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, or to give notice thereof to a
Guarantor;

     (d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or
exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company or any other Person or their respective
assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

     (e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases,
discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

     (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of
the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent
to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase
or decrease in any amount due with respect to any of the Notes;

     (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital
structure or constitution of the Company or a Guarantor;

- 43 -

 

     (h) any merger or amalgamation of the Company or a Guarantor with any Person or Persons;

     (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any
jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending,
varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect,
any of the Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under its Guarantee; and

     (j) any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the
Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

     Section 10.12. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 10.1
hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice
of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company
or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

     Section 10.13. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. Neither the Trustee
nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to
take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or against the Company or any other
Person or any Property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand
payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their
Guarantees or under this Indenture.

     Section 10.14. Dealing with the Company and Others. The Holders, without releasing,
discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of
any Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may:

     (a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges
and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

     (b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or from perfecting
security or collateral of the Company;

     (c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or
thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other
security given by the Company or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters
contemplated by this Indenture or the Notes;

     (d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;

     (e) apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such
part of the Obligations as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in
part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and

- 44 -

 

     (f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all
other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

     Section 10.15. Default and Enforcement. If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance
with Section 10.1 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the
enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and
hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover
from such Guarantor the obligations.

     Section 10.16. Amendment, Etc. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Indenture relating to any Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Guarantor or any
other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective or affect the obligation of any
other Guarantor unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee.

     Section 10.17. Acknowledgment. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of
the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same.

     Section 10.18. Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee
any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees) incurred by the
Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights
under any Guarantee.

     Section 10.19. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No Guarantee shall operate
by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Guarantor under any other agreement, including,
without limitation, this Indenture. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part
of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes
or the Guarantees, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes or the
Guarantees preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and under
this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the
Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.

     Section 10.20. Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to the survival of any of
the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of each Guarantor under Section
10.1 shall survive until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and shall be
enforceable against such Guarantor without regard to and without giving effect to any defense,
right of offset or counterclaim available to or which may be asserted by the Company or any
Guarantor.

     Section 10.21. Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations. The obligations of each
Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any
other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the
Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

- 45 -

 

     Section 10.22. Severability. Any provision of this Article X which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic
intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article X.

     Section 10.23. Successors and Assigns. Each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the Holders and their respective successors
and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or
thereunder.

     Section 10.24. Acknowledgement under TIA. Each Guarantor acknowledges that, by virtue
of its Guarantee, it is becoming an “obligor” on indenture securities under the TIA.

(REVERSE OF SECURITY)

6.50% Senior Note due 2016, Series A

          Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Indenture, dated as of April 26, 2006, relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”), and as
amended from time to time, by and among Lennar Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
the Guarantors named therein and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. as trustee (the “Trustee”).

1. INTEREST

          The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per
annum above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. The Company shall pay interest
semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing as of the Interest Payment Date
referred to above and upon redemption. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on
demand at the rate borne by the Notes.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT

          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall (a) pay interest on
the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders of Notes at the
close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the
Notes are canceled, transferred or exchanged after such Record Date, and (b) make all other
payments in respect of the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of
business on the Business Day preceding the Redemption Date or Maturity, as the case may be.
Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Notes
referred to in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money
of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. However, the Company may make the cash payments by check payable in such money.

3. PAYING AGENT, AND REGISTRAR

          Initially, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the “Trustee”),
shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

     4. INDENTURE

A-4

 

          The Company issued the Notes under the Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue
of Notes of the Company designated as its 6.50% Senior Notes due 2016, Series A (the “Initial
Notes”). The Notes include the Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted
Notes, as defined below, issued in exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement. The Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted Notes are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. 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 (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to
the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the
terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance
with its terms.

5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY

          No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are redeemable as a whole, or from time
to time in part, at any time at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the
greater of: (a) 100% of their principal amount; and (b) the present value of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments on the Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption
Date, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points (0.25%), together, in either
case, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date on their principal amount.

6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY

          Notice of redemption at the option of the Company shall be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s
registered address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes (or portions
thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or on
the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof on and after such
date. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral
multiples of $1,000.

7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

          Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be obligated to consummate an
exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note
for the Company’s 6.50% Senior Notes due 2016, Series B (the “Unrestricted Notes”), which will be
registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all
material respects as the Initial Notes. The Holders of the Initial Notes shall be entitled to
receive certain additional interest payments in the event such exchange offer is not consummated
and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement.

A-5

 

8. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE

          The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiplies of $1,000. A Holder may transfer Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and to pay any governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Registrar need not transfer 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 any selection of Notes to be redeemed.

9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

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

10. UNCLAIMED MONEY OR PROPERTY

          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or
property held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains
unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such return, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in
a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each such Holder notice that
such money or property remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not
be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed money or property
then remaining shall be returned to the Company. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to
the money or property must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an
applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

11. AMENDMENT; WAIVER

          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may
be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and (ii) certain defaults or noncompliance with certain
provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in
the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make any change that does
not adversely affect the right of any Holder, to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to
the Trustee as security for the Notes any property or assets, to evidence the succession of another
corporation to the Company (or successive successions) and the assumption by the successor
corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company, to add to the covenants of
the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Board of Directors and the
Trustee shall consider to be for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, and to make the occurrence,
or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or
conditions a Default or an Event of Default

A-6

 

permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in the Indenture, to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Notes, or to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture to such
extent as shall be necessary for the Indenture to comply with the TIA, or under any similar federal
statute hereafter enacted.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) a default by the Company in the payment of
any interest which continues for more than 30 days after the due date, (ii) a default by the
Company in the payment of any principal or Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes; (iii) a
default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to its obligation to pay
Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness), which default shall have
resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating
more than $50 million; (iv) a failure to perform any other covenant or warranty of the Company
herein and in the Indenture, which continues for 30 days after written notice; (v) final judgments
or orders are rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which require the payment
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance)
in excess of $50 million and such judgments or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for more than
60 days and are not being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (vi) the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary: (A) commences a voluntary case; (B) consents to the entry of an order for
relief against it in an involuntary case; (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or
for any substantial part of its property; or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors; or (vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
applicable Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary; (B) appointing a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or
for any substantial part of its respective property; or (C) ordering the winding up or liquidation
of the Company or any Restricted Security; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect
for 90 days. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, may declare the
outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such
declaration on all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency are Events of Default which shall result in the outstanding principal amount of all
Notes being declared due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

          Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture and the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity
or security. Subject to certain limitations, conditions and exceptions, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power, including the annulment of a declaration of acceleration. The
Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of
amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interests.

or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company
or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS

          A director, officer, or employee, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Indenture or
any stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company under the Notes or the Indenture 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.

Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the
Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms.

5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY

          No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are redeemable as a whole, or from time
to time in part, at any time at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the
greater of: (a) 100% of their principal amount; and (b) the present value of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments on the Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption
Date, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points (0.25%), together, in either
case, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date on their principal amount.

6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY

          Notice of redemption at the option of the Company shall be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s
registered address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes (or portions
thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or on
the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof on and after such
date. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral
multiples of $1,000.

7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE

          The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiplies of $1,000. A Holder may transfer Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and to pay any governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Registrar need not transfer 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 any selection of Notes to be redeemed.

8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

B-4

 

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

9. UNCLAIMED MONEY OR PROPERTY

          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or
property held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains
unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such return, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in
a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each such Holder notice that
such money or property remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not
be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed money or property
then remaining shall be returned to the Company. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to
the money or property must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an
applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

10. AMENDMENT; WAIVER

          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may
be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and (ii) certain defaults or noncompliance with certain
provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in
the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make any change that does
not adversely affect the right of any Holder, to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to
the Trustee as security for the Notes any property or assets, to evidence the succession of another
corporation to the Company (or successive successions) and the assumption by the successor
corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company, to add to the covenants of
the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Board of Directors and the
Trustee shall consider to be for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, and to make the occurrence,
or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or
conditions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several
remedies provided in the Indenture, to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, or to modify, eliminate or add to the
provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary for the Indenture to comply with
the TIA, or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted.

11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) a default by the Company in the payment of
any interest which continues for more than 30 days after the due date, (ii) a default by the
Company in the payment of any principal or Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes; (iii) a
default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to its obligation to pay
Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness),

B-5

 

which default shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at final
maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million; (iv) a failure to perform any other
covenant or warranty of the Company herein and in the Indenture, which continues for 30 days after
written notice; (v) final judgments or orders are rendered against the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of an amount (to
the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of $50 million and such judgments or orders remain
unstayed or unsatisfied for more than 60 days and are not being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings; (vi) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any Bankruptcy
Law applicable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary: (A) commences a voluntary case; (B)
consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; (C) consents to the
appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or (D) makes a
general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (vii) a court of competent jurisdiction
enters an order or decree under any applicable Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary
case against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (B) appointing a Custodian of the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its respective property; or (C) ordering
the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Security; and the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, may declare the outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest
through the date of such declaration on all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which shall result in the
outstanding principal amount of all Notes being declared due and payable immediately upon the
occurrence of such Events of Default.

          Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture and the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity
or security. Subject to certain limitations, conditions and exceptions, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power, including the annulment of a declaration of acceleration. The
Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of
amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interests.

12. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

          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 otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee.

13. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS

          A director, officer, or employee, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Indenture or
any stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of
such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder

B-6

 

waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration
for the issue of the Notes.

14. GUARANTEES

          This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees, if any, made for the benefit
of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective
