(f) The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” published by Euroclear and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” published by Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Notes or Regulation S Permanent Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. (a) An Officer of each of the Issuers shall sign the Notes by manual or facsimile signature. Typographic and other minor defects in any facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

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

(c) 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.

(d) The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuers pursuant to one or more Company Orders, except as provided in Section 2.08 hereof.

(e) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.

An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Trustee shall initially act as the Registrar and Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as the Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuers or any of the Guarantors may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(b) The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Notes.

Section 2.04 Maintenance of Office or Agency; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Issuers shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. Such office shall initially be the office of the Trustee.

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least 10 days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders, and the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes.

(b) The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.03 to the contrary, if CCL at any time after the Issue Date is or was subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, CCL shall file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing), and promptly after such filing furnish to the Trustee and the Holders (or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders) with, such annual and other reports (but, with respect to current reports, only those current reports specified in clause 4.03(a)(ii) above) as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, such reports to be so filed and furnished within the time periods specified in the first sentence of this Section 4.03 and containing all the information, audit reports and exhibits required for such reports.

To the extent such postings or filings are made, the reports shall be deemed to be provided to the Trustee and the Holders.

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. (a) The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of CCL and its Subsidiaries during the preceding Fiscal Year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their Obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuers are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b) The Issuers shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly after the occurrence thereof, notice of any event that constitutes or, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05 Taxes. The Issuers shall pay, and shall cause each Guarantor to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.07 Reserved.

Section 4.08 Reserved.

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness. CCL shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guaranty or otherwise become liable with respect to any Indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales; Asset Exchanges. (a) CCL shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) CCL (or its Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

(ii) fair market value is determined by the Manager;

(iii) with respect to any Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales between CCL or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an Affiliate of CCL (other than its Subsidiaries), on the other, that involves consideration in excess of $50,000,000, the aggregate fair market value of the assets or rights of CCL or its Subsidiaries included in such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales is determined by the Manager after receiving an opinion or appraisal as to such valuation issued by an investment banking firm, accounting firm or appraisal firm of national standing (provided such firm is not an Affiliate of the Manager);

(iv) except in the case of an Asset Exchange, 75% of the consideration received in such Asset Sale by CCL or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Permitted Investments; and

(v) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and an Event of Default would not occur as a result of such Asset Sale.

(b) For purposes of Section 4.10(a)(iv) above only, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

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

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by CCL or any Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by CCL or the Subsidiary into cash within 270 days of the applicable Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

(c) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, CCL or such Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds to make capital expenditures or acquire other long-term assets (including long-term land use easements, ground leases and similar land rights) that are used or useful in the business.

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, CCL or such Subsidiary may apply or invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(c) (whether by election or the passage of time) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50,000,000, the Issuers shall be required to make an offer to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (an “Asset Sale Offer”). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be payable in cash and shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of any Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Each Asset Sale Offer shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuers may use the remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into the Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of the Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(f) The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of any securities laws or regulations applicable to any Asset Sale Offer.

The Management Agreement and the performance of the parties thereunder, including the payment of the Management Fee (and any reasonably comparable management agreement and reasonably comparable management fee entered into in replacement of such Management Agreement and Management Fee) shall be permitted under this Section 4.11.

Section 4.12 Liens. CCL shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, permit their respective interests in the Properties or any other Collateral for the Notes or the Note Guarantees to be encumbered by any Liens other than:

(b) Liens existing on the Issue Date; provided that such existing Liens do not secure obligations in the aggregate in excess of $10,000,000;

(c) Liens existing on the Issue Date to the extent the Indebtedness and other obligations purportedly secured thereby have been paid in full (or sufficient cash has been deposited (and such deposit shall have become irrevocable) into an account with a trustee in respect of such Indebtedness pending repayment or redemption of such Indebtedness) and the Liens have been (or shall, within 20 days of the Issue Date, be) released (other than any mortgage filing not yet terminated that does not secure an outstanding obligation); provided that (i) CCL and its Subsidiaries are diligently taking such actions necessary to terminate any such mortgage filings and (ii) CCL provides documentation on a quarterly basis to the Trustee evidencing its progress in terminating any such mortgage filings;

(f) statutory Liens of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics, materialmen and other similar Liens that arise by operation of law after the date hereof are incurred in the ordinary course of business and are discharged by payment, bonding or otherwise within 45 days after the filing thereof or that are being contested in good faith in accordance with this Indenture;

(g) Liens arising from reasonable and customary purchase money financing of personal property and equipment leasing to the extent the same are created in the ordinary course of business and permitted to be incurred pursuant to subsection (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” in Section 1.01 hereof;

(h) all easements, rights-of-way, restrictions, licenses or restrictions on use and other similar charges or non-monetary encumbrances against real property that do not result in a Material Adverse Effect, as determined in good faith by the Manager;

(i) Liens arising by operation of law in favor of purchasers in connection with the sale of an asset; provided, however, that such Lien only encumbers the property being sold;

(j) Liens to secure performance of statutory obligations, surety or appeal bonds, performance bonds, bids or tenders;

(k) judgment Liens with respect to which CCL or any of its Subsidiaries shall then be proceeding with an appeal or other proceeding for review;

Section 4.14 Limitation on Sale or Issuance of Equity Interests of Subsidiaries. CCL shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, sell or issue any Equity Interests of a Subsidiary, provided, however, that a Subsidiary of CCL may issue Equity Interests so long as following any such issuance, CCL directly or indirectly continues to own 100% of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary and, to the extent other Equity Interests of that Subsidiary constitute Collateral at the time of such issuance, such newly-issued Equity Interests would constitute Collateral.

Section 4.15 Management Agreement.

(a) CCL shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cause the Manager (including any replacement manager that is an Acceptable Manager) to manage the Properties in accordance with the Management Agreement in all material respects. CCL shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of CCL and each Subsidiary required to be performed and observed and (ii) promptly notify the Trustee of any notice to any of CCL or its Subsidiaries of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware.

(b) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to remove the Manager and replace such Manager with a Person to be selected by CCL and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, selected by the Trustee) and without payment of any termination fee, upon the earliest to occur of any one or more of the following events: (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, (ii) 30 days after notice from Trustee to CCL if the Manager has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct arising from or in connection with its performance under the Management Agreement or (iii) the Manager defaults under the Management Agreement, such default is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such default remains unremedied for 30 days following written notice to the Manager.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to monitor the performance of the Manager under the Management Agreement and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any aspect of such performance whatsoever unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof and the Trustee shall have no obligation to take any action with respect to the Manager, the Management Agreement or the Manager’s performance thereunder unless and until, subject to Section 6.05, the Trustee shall have been directed in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. In no event shall the Trustee have any obligation to determine whether any default by the Manager under the Management Agreement, whether or not known to the Trustee, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.16 Maintenance and Repair. CCL shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep the Properties, considered as a whole, in good condition, repair and working order, and CCL shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cause to be made such repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof as, in the judgment of the Manager, CCL or such Subsidiary, may be necessary in order that the operation of the Properties, considered as a whole, may be conducted in accordance with common industry practice in all material respects; provided, however, that nothing shall prevent the Manager, CCL or such Subsidiary from discontinuing, or causing the discontinuance of, the operation and maintenance of any portion of the Properties; and provided, further, that nothing shall prevent the Manager, CCL or such Subsidiary from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of, or causing the sale, transfer or other disposition of, any portion of the Properties so long as any such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted by, and conducted in accordance with, the terms of this Indenture.

Section 4.17 Hazard, Liability and Other Insurance. CCL shall maintain, or cause its Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with respect to its Properties for physical hazard, flood (for any Property located in an area of “special flood hazard”), earthquake (for any such Property located in an area prone to “geological phenomenon”) and business interruption, to the extent that property of similar character is usually so insured by companies similarly situated and operating like properties, to a reasonable amount, by insurance companies that the Manager or CCL believe to be reputable.

(vii) entry of any final judgment against CCL or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets that is not fully covered by insurance (other than with respect to the amount of commercially reasonable deductibles permitted hereunder), which would have a Material Adverse Effect and remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(viii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee or the Pledge Agreement is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary, denies or disaffirms its obligation under its Note Guarantee or the Pledge Agreement in writing;

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from Section 6.01(a)(ix) or Section 6.01(a)(x), with respect to the Issuers, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.

A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

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

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the series of outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of their other Obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantes, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantes shall be unaffected thereby.

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

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

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting together as a single class, may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Pledge Agreement. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 or otherwise may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption (other than the notice period), but not any required repurchase in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, of the Notes;

(iii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

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

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

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

(vii) waive a redemption payment, but not any payment upon a required repurchase in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, with respect to any Note; or

(viii) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

(e) In addition, without the consent of Holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting together as a single class, no amendment, supplement or waiver may release:

(i) any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee; or

(ii) any Collateral from the Liens pursuant to the Pledge Agreement;

other than, in each case, in accordance with this Indenture or, in the case of the release of any Collateral, in accordance with this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement; provided that (A) if any such amendment, supplement or waiver would by its terms disproportionately and adversely affect either series of Notes under this Indenture, such amendment, supplement or waiver shall also require the consent of Holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series and (B) if any such amendment, supplement or waiver would only affect the Notes of one series, then only the consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such affected series (and not the consent of two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under this Indenture and then outstanding) shall be required.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect if the Indenture is then qualified thereunder.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Subject to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 10.01, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Pledge Agreement or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. Subject to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Issuers shall take, and shall cause the Subsidiaries of CCL to take, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Pledge Agreement to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of CCL and the Guarantors hereunder, a perfected, first priority security interest (subject to certain exceptions described under Section 4.12 hereof) in all Collateral under the Pledge Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledge Agreement may be amended from time to time to add other parties, in each case to the extent permitted to be incurred under Sections 4.09 and 4.12 of this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Pledge Agreement, (ii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Pledge Agreement and (iii) perform its obligations under the Pledge Agreement.

Section 10.02 Release of Collateral. (a) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall be entitled to the release of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) to enable CCL or any Subsidiary to consummate the disposition of such Collateral as permitted by Section 4.10 hereof; or

(ii) as described in Article 9 hereof.

(b) Upon the release of any Subsidiary from its Note Guarantee, if any, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Lien on any Collateral held by such Guarantor and the Lien on any pledged Equity Interests issued by such Guarantor shall automatically terminate.

(c) Upon the occurrence of (i) payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and premium, if any, on the Notes and any and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Pledge Agreement that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) a discharge of this Indenture as described under Article 8 or Article 12, the Liens on all Collateral created under the Pledge Agreement for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes shall terminate.

(d) Upon any sale or other transfer by CCL or any Subsidiary of any Collateral that is permitted hereunder, the Liens and the security interests in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

Section 10.03 Further Assurances; Insurance. (a) The Issuers shall do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that the Trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Trustee holds, for the benefit of the Holders, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the Notes are issued), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under this Indenture, the Notes and the Pledge Agreement.

(b) Upon the reasonable request of the Trustee at any time and from time to time, the Issuers shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such Pledge Agreement, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as will be reasonably required, or that the Trustee may reasonably request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred.

Section 10.04 Permitted Releases Not To Impair Lien. (a) The release of any Collateral from the terms hereof and of the Pledge Agreement or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens created by the Pledge Agreement, shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral or Liens are released pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and the terms of this Article 10. The Trustee and each of the Holders acknowledge that a release of Collateral or a Lien strictly in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement and of this Article 10 shall not be deemed for any purpose to be in contravention of the terms of this Indenture.

(b) To the extent applicable, CCL will cause TIA Section 314(b), relating to reports, and TIA Section 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities or relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien of the Pledge Agreement, to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA Section 314(d) may be made by an officer of CCL, except in cases where TIA Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent person, which person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected by or reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.04(b), CCL will not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA Section 314(d) if it determines, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that the terms of TIA Section 314(d) or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, whether or not issued to CCL by the SEC, or any portion of TIA Section 314(d) is inapplicable to one or a series of released Collateral.

(b) Subject to the provisions of the Pledge Agreement, the Trustee shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Pledge Agreement or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee).

Section 10.06 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Pledge Agreement. Subject to the provisions of the Pledge Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Pledge Agreement, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 10.07 Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 10 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of CCL, the Co-Issuer or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 10.08 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 10 upon CCL, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of CCL, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 10; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

ARTICLE 11

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Guarantee.

(a) Reserved.

(b) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(c) The Guarantors hereby agree that their Obligations hereunder are 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 with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.03 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.04 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuers or another Guarantor, unless:

(i) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(ii) either:

(1) subject to Section 11.04 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the Obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(2) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with (and to the extent required by) the applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement.

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

(c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding Section 11.03(a)(ii) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers 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 Issuers or another Guarantor.

Section 11.04 Releases.

(a) In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) CCL or a Subsidiary of CCL then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) shall be automatically released and relieved of any Obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with (and to the extent required by) the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof; provided, further, that the failure to apply the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture shall constitute an Event of Default, but shall not result in the reinstatement of any Note Guarantee released in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.04 hereof. Upon delivery by CCL to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by CCL in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute at the written request of CCL any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof, each Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any Obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(c) Any Guarantor not released from its Obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.04 shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other Obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture to the extent provided in this Article 11.

CC HOLDINGS GS V LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCL”), and CROWN CASTLE GS III CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with CCL, the “Issuers,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter defined), for value received, hereby promise to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $_____ (__________ Dollars) [(as such sum may be increased or decreased as set forth on the Schedule of Exchanges of Notes attached hereto)]1 on December 15, 2017, and to pay interest thereon from December 24, 2012 or from the most recent Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 (each, a “Payment Date”) in each year, commencing June 15, 2013, at the rate of 2.381% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment[; provided that, if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) shall accrue on this Note to the extent and in the amount provided for in Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement].2

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, which shall be June 1 or December 1, as the case may be, next preceding such Payment Date or, if such record date is not a Business Day, at the close of business of the immediately succeeding Business Day. A “Business Day” shall mean any day excluding (1) Saturday, (2) Sunday, (3) any day which is a legal holiday in the State of New York, the State of Texas or the state in which the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee is located and (4) any day on which banking institutions located in such state are generally not open for the conduct of regular business. If a Payment Date is not a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such regular record date and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuers for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 30 days before the special record date, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the Payment Date, and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuers, the Issuers shall make all payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes shall be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes within the City and State of New York unless, with respect to such other payments, the Issuers elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF 2017 NOTE]

1. Notes.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior secured notes of the Issuers (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of December 24, 2012 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof as “2.381% Senior Secured Notes due 2017,” issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. No Sinking Fund.

No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

3. Optional Redemption.

At the Issuers’ option, the Notes may be redeemed at any time in whole or in part. If the Issuers elect to redeem the Notes, the Issuers shall pay a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date: (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments. In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Issuers shall discount such payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points.

4. Selection and Notice of Redemption.

(a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

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

5. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the Indenture (whether by election or the passage of time) shall be deemed to constitute Excess Proceeds. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50,000,000, the Issuers shall be required to make an offer to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (an “Asset Sale Offer”). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be payable in cash and shall be 100% of the principal amount of any Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Each Asset Sale Offer shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuers may use the remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into the Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of the Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

A-1-5

6. Acceleration Upon Event of Default.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Issuers, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

7. Amendment and Modification.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of no less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.

8. No Impairment of Obligation to Pay or Right to Convert.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuers, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Note as provided in the Indenture.

9. Transfer and Exchange.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the security register maintained by the Registrar, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuers in any place where the principal of and any interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Registrar.

A-1-6

10. No Service Charge.

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

11. Treatment as Owner.

Prior to due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered, as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

12. Guarantees.

Subject to certain provisions in the Indenture, each of the Guarantors has, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:

(b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

13. Collateral.

14. No Liability.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or equity holder of the Issuers or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creations. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

A-1-7

15. Governing Law.

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