The Company, any of its Affiliates or any Note Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

(c) The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company as required by Section 2.3(a) and appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of demands and notices in connection with the Notes and this Indenture, until such time as another Person is appointed as such.

Section 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money 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 Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company or any Note Guarantor in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company, any of its Affiliates or a Note Guarantor) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Company, any of its Affiliates or a Note Guarantor, if the Company, such Affiliate or a Note Guarantor is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company, such Affiliate or such Note Guarantor as Paying Agent.

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 Holders. At any time that the Trustee is not the Registrar, or to the extent otherwise required under the TIA, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.6. Global Note Provisions.

(a) Each Global Note initially shall: (i) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (ii) be delivered to the Note Custodian and (iii) bear the appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.7 and Exhibit A. Any Global Note may be represented by one or more certificates. The aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Note Custodian, as provided in this Indenture.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.6(c)(iii), members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Note Custodian, and DTC may be treated by the Company, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Custodian, the Registrar and any of their respective agents as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Custodian, the Registrar or any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or (ii) impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including DTC or its nominee, Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Note, an Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or other depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC or other depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or other depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in a Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC or other depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC or other depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with DTC or other depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered Holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole Holder of such Global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of DTC or other depositary with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between DTC or other depositary and any Agent Member or between or among DTC or other depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.

(c) Except as provided below in this Section 2.6(c), owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interests.

(i) Certificated Notes shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note in exchange for such beneficial interests if (A) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (B) DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice; provided, however, that in no event shall a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interest prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period therefor and receipt by the Registrar of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification with respect to such holder. In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this clause (i) of this Section 2.6(c), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations, and the Registrar shall register such exchanges in the Note Register.

(ii) The owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that in no event shall a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note receive Certificated Notes in exchange for such beneficial interest prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period therefor and receipt by the Registrar of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification with respect to such holder. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions from Agent Members on behalf the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note directing the Registrar to exchange such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Note for Certificated Notes, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the Company shall promptly execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to such beneficial owner, Certificated Notes in a principal amount equal to such beneficial interest in such Global Note.

(iii) If (x) an event described in Section 2.6(c)(i)(A) or Section 2.6(c)(i)(B) occurs and Certificated Notes are not issued promptly to all beneficial owners or (y) the Registrar receives from a beneficial owner the instructions described in Section 2.6(c)(ii) and Certificated Notes are not issued promptly to any such beneficial owner, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.6, the right of any beneficial owner of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial owner’s Notes as if such Certificated Notes had been issued.

Section 2.7. Legends.

(a) Each Global Note shall bear the legend specified therefor in Exhibit A on the face thereof.

(b) Each Restricted Note shall bear the private placement legend specified therefor in Exhibit A on the face thereof (the “Private Placement Legend”).

Section 2.8. Transfer and Exchange.

(c) Other Transfers. Any transfer of Restricted Notes (including Certificated Notes) not described above (other than a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that does not involve an exchange of such interest for a Certificated Note or a beneficial interest in another Global Note, which must be effected in accordance with applicable law and the Applicable Procedures, but is not subject to any procedure required by this Indenture) shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrar of such opinions of counsel, certificates and such other evidence reasonably required by and satisfactory to it in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or in accordance with Section 2.8(d).

(d) Use and Removal of Private Placement Legends. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) not bearing (or not required to bear upon such transfer, exchange or replacement) a Private Placement Legend, the Note Custodian and Registrar shall exchange such Notes (or beneficial interests) for beneficial interests in a Global Note (or Certificated Notes if they have been issued pursuant to Section 2.6(c)) that does not bear a Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Note Custodian and Registrar shall deliver only Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Note) that bear a Private Placement Legend unless:

The Holder of a Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend may exchange an interest therein for an equivalent interest in a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement Legend (other than a Regulation S Global Note) upon transfer of such interest pursuant to this Section 2.8(d). The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate promptly upon effectiveness, withdrawal or suspension of any Registration Statement.

(e) Consolidation of Global Notes and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. If a Global Note not bearing a Private Placement Legend (other than a Regulation S Global Note) is Outstanding at the time of a Registered Exchange Offer or removal of legends pursuant to Section 2.8(h), any interests in a Global Note exchanged in such Registered Exchange Offer or delegended pursuant to Section 2.8(h) shall be exchanged for interests in such Outstanding Global Note, subject to the proviso at the end of Section 2.14(a).

(g) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.8, 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 that any 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 Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(ii) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, the Company will execute and, upon Company Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery Certificated Notes and Global Notes, as applicable, at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. In accordance with any Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will execute and, upon Company Order, the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery Exchange Notes in exchange for Notes, including Issue Date Notes in the case of the Issue Date Registration Rights Agreement.

(iii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to a Registered Exchange Offer, or Section 3.12, 3.21, 5.1 or 9.5).

(iv) The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (x) any Note for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date and (y) any Note selected for repurchase or redemption, except the unrepurchased or unredeemed portion thereof, if any.

The Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall treat the Holder of a Global Note as the absolute owner of such Global Note for the purpose of receiving payment of and interest on such Global Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Global Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vi) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(h) Applicable Procedures for Delegending.

(i) Promptly after one year has elapsed following (A) in the case of Issue Date Notes, the Issue Date or (B) in the case of Additional Notes, unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture in respect thereof, the issue date thereof, if the relevant Notes are freely tradeable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by Holders who are not Affiliates of the Company where no conditions of Rule 144 are then applicable (other than the holding period requirement in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of Rule 144 so long as such holding period requirement is satisfied), the Company shall:

(1) instruct the Trustee in writing to remove the Private Placement Legend from such Notes by delivering to the Trustee a certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto, and upon such instruction the Private Placement Legend shall be deemed removed from any Global Notes representing such Notes without further action on the part of Holders;

(2) notify Holders of such Notes that the Private Placement Legend has been removed or deemed removed; and

(3) instruct DTC to change the CUSIP and ISIN number for such Notes to the unrestricted CUSIP and ISIN number for the Notes.

In no event will the failure of the Company to provide any notice set forth in this paragraph or of the Trustee to remove the Private Placement Legend constitute a failure by the Company to comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in Section 6.1 or otherwise. Any Restricted Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Restricted Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Article II of this Indenture, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Private Placement Legend. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date for any Note and promptly after a Registration Statement with respect to any Notes, if any, has been declared effective under the Securities Act.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change the one-year holding period thereunder (or the corresponding period under any successor rule), (i) each reference in this Section 2.8(h) to “one year” and in the Private Placement Legend described in Section 2.7(b) and Exhibit A to “ONE YEAR” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, and (ii) all corresponding references in this Indenture (including the definition of Resale Restriction Termination Date), the Notes and the Private Placement Legends thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period; provided that such changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws; provided further that if such change does not apply to existing Notes, all references to “one year” in this Indenture shall not be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period. This Section 2.8(h) shall apply to successive amendments to Rule 144 (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder.

Section 2.9. No Obligation of the Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, Agent Members or any other Persons with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of Agent Members, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.

(b) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.10. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. (a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery a replacement Note for such mutilated, lost or stolen Note, of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding if:

(i) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met,

(ii) the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee, and

(iii) neither the Company nor the Trustee has received notice that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser.

If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Note Custodian from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.

(b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.10, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

(c) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, any Note Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company will execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes.

Section 2.12. 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 registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its policy of disposal or return to the Company all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange upon Company Order.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. When any installment of interest on Notes becomes Defaulted Interest, such installment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) shall be paid by the Company, at its elections, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below.

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest payable on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment, 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 prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.13(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to Section 2.13(b); or

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such 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, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. The Trustee shall in the name and at the expense of the Company cause prompt notice of the proposed payment and the date thereof to be sent, first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register.

Section 2.14. Additional Notes (a) The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture Additional Notes that shall have terms and conditions identical to those of the other Outstanding Notes, except with respect to:

(i) the issue date;

(ii) the amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date therefor;

(iii) the issue price;

(iv) any adjustments necessary in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Additional Notes); and

(v) any Additional Interest payable as provided in Section 2.15.

The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture; provided that the Company may use different CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers among Issue Date Notes and Additional Notes to the extent required to comply with securities or tax law requirements, including to permit delegending pursuant to Section 2.8(h).

(b) With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company will set forth in an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Additional Note Board Resolutions”), copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(ii) the issue date and the issue price of such Additional Notes; provided that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, unless such Additional Notes have a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number from other Notes; and

(iii) whether such Additional Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).

Section 2.15. Additional Interest Under Registration Rights Agreements. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay Additional Interest to Holders, all as and to the extent set forth in the Issue Date Registration Rights Agreement or any Registration Rights Agreement applicable to Additional Notes. The terms thereof are hereby incorporated herein by reference and such Additional Interest is deemed to be interest for purposes of this Indenture.

Section 2.16. CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP, ISIN or such other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company or the Note Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

Section 3.6. Further Instruments and Acts. The Company and each Note Guarantor will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.8:

(1) The amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP;

(3) Indebtedness or Preferred Stock permitted under this Section 3.8 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.8 permitting such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock.

(4) In the event that Indebtedness or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of Section 3.8(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.8(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock at the time of its Incurrence in any manner that complies with this Section 3.8. In addition, any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock originally classified as Incurred pursuant to any clause of Section 3.8(b) may later be reclassified by the Company, in its sole discretion, such that it will be deemed to be Incurred pursuant to another of such clauses of Section 3.8(b) to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness or Preferred Stock could be Incurred pursuant to such other clause of Section 3.8(b) at the time of such reclassification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been Incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided in clause (3) of Section 3.8(b); and

(5) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced.

Section 3.9. Limitation on Layered Indebtedness.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Note Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or, in the case of a Note Guarantor, its Note Guarantee, to the same extent and on the same terms as such Indebtedness is subordinate to such other Indebtedness; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

Section 3.10. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(iii) Capital Stock of: (A) a Restricted Subsidiary held by a Person other than the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (B) a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that becomes, upon the purchase or investment, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or, in the case of an Asset Sale in respect of assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, a Restricted Subsidiary of which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, an equal or greater percentage of the economic and voting interests of its Capital Stock as it does (immediately prior to such Asset Sale) in respect of the Restricted Subsidiary whose assets or Capital Stock are included in such Asset Sale;

provided that (A) the following Persons may make a purchase or investment in accordance with the foregoing: (x) the Company, (y) a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or (z) in the case of an Asset Sale in respect of assets or Capital Stock held by a Restricted Subsidiary only, a Restricted Subsidiary of which the Company, owns directly or indirectly, an equal or greater percentage of the economic and voting interests of its Capital Stock as it does of the Restricted Subsidiary that made such Asset Sale and (B) no purchase from the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will satisfy the provisions of this clause (2) (each, other than the Company, a “Permitted Investing Subsidiary”);

provided that (x) in the case of clause (2) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company, or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 90 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Cash Proceeds are actually applied to satisfy such commitment within the later of (i) 360 days after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from the related Asset Sale and (ii) 90 days after the date of such binding commitment and (y) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not actually applied to satisfy such commitment within the period set forth in clause (x) above, the Net Cash Proceeds not so applied shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(c) To the extent all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not applied within 360 days thereof (or such longer period as permitted pursuant to an Acceptable Commitment as provided in Section 3.12(b) above) as described in clause (1) or (2) of Section 3.12(b) above (“Excess Proceeds”), the Company will make an offer to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”). The Company will purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer from all tendering Holders on a pro rata basis in the manner provided in Section 5.5, and, at the Company’s option, on a pro rata basis with the holders of any other Senior Indebtedness with similar provisions requiring the Company to offer to purchase the other Senior Indebtedness with the proceeds of Asset Sales, that principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with original issue discount) of Notes and the other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased equal to such unapplied Net Cash Proceeds. The Company may satisfy its Obligations under this Section 3.12 with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of 360 days from the relevant Asset Sale (or, in the event an Acceptable Commitment has been entered into as set forth in Section 3.12(b) above, the later date of the 360th day following the Asset Sale or the expiration of the 90-day period set forth in Section 3.12(b) above).

(d) The purchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will occur not less than 20 Business Days following the date thereof, or any longer period as may be required by law, nor more than 45 days following the 360th day following the Asset Sale (or, in the event an Acceptable Commitment has been entered into as set forth in Section 3.12(b), the later date of the 360th day following the Asset Sale or the expiration of the 90-day period set forth in such Section 3.12(b)). The Company may, however, defer an Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales equal to or in excess of $7.5 million. At that time, the entire amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $7.5 million, will be applied as required pursuant to this Section 3.12. Pending application in accordance with this Section 3.12, Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings, Invested in Cash Equivalents or used for general corporate purposes.

(e) Each Asset Sale Offer Notice will be mailed first class, postage prepaid, to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following such 360th day (or, in the event an Acceptable Commitment has been entered into as set forth in Section 3.12(b) above, the later date of the 360th day following the Asset Sale or the expiration of the 90-day period set forth in such Section 3.12(b)), with a copy to the Trustee offering to purchase the Notes as described above. Each Asset Sale Offer Notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”). Upon receiving notice of an Asset Sale Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof in exchange for cash.

(f) On the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent funds in an amount equal to the Asset Sale Offer Amount in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

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

(g) To the extent Holders of Notes and holders of other Senior Indebtedness, if any, which are the subject of an Asset Sale Offer properly tender and do not withdraw Notes or the other Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate amount exceeding the amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Company will purchase the Notes and the other Senior Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). If only a portion of a Note is purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the principal amount of a global Note will be made, as appropriate). Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be cancelled and cannot be reissued. Upon completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero. Accordingly, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the aggregate amount of unapplied Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(h) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.12, the Company will comply with these laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.12 by doing so.

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms’-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company;

(2) in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments, or transfers of property or services with a Fair Market Value, in excess of $5.0 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction will be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (including a majority of the disinterested members thereof), the approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that the Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the preceding provisions; and

(3) in the event that such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments, or transfers of property or services with a Fair Market Value, in excess of $15.0 million, the Company will, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Company and the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (if any) from a financial point of view from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

(b) The provisions of Section 3.13(a) will not apply to:

(1) Affiliate Transactions with or among the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) the entering into, maintaining or performing of any collective bargaining agreement; benefit plan; stock option, share ownership, phantom stock or similar plan; program, contract or other similar arrangement for or with any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business in good faith by the Company, including vacation, health, insurance, deferred compensation, severance, retirement, savings or other similar plans, programs or arrangements;

(6) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates of the Company solely because the Company, directly or indirectly, owns Capital Stock in, or controls any such Person, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company, on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; provided that this clause (6) will not apply to Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(7) the issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company to any Permitted Holder or to any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(8) loans and advances to officers, directors and employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for travel, entertainment, moving and other relocation expenses, in each case made in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practices of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable.

Section 3.14. Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) against or upon any of their respective properties or assets, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, to secure any Indebtedness unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made:

Section 3.15. Limitation on Guarantees of Company or Note Guarantor Indebtedness.

The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or a Note Guarantor or to secure any Indebtedness of the Company or a Note Guarantor with a Lien on the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Wholly Owned Subsidiaries under one or more Bank Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (x) the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the Four Quarter Period as of the date of determination and (y) $80.0 million), unless contemporaneously therewith (or prior thereto) effective provision is made to Guarantee or secure the Notes, as the case may be, on an equal and ratable basis with such Guarantee or Lien for so long as such Guarantor or Lien remains effective, and in an amount equal to the amount of Company or Note Guarantor Indebtedness so Guaranteed or secured; provided, however, that any Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or a Note Guarantor will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the contemporaneous Guarantee of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary; and provided further that the Company will not permit a Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee or secure any Capital Stock of the Company or a Note Guarantor.

If, after the Issue Date, the Company or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, as the case may be, the Company or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay to each Holder of Notes that are Outstanding on the date of the required payment, such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by such Holder (including the Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (an “Excluded Holder”):

(1) with which the Company or such Note Guarantor does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of making such payment,

(2) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of its being or having been connected with a jurisdiction imposing such tax otherwise than by the mere holding, use or ownership, or deemed holding, use or ownership, of the Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder (as a matter of, for example, citizenship, nationality, residence, domicile, or existence of a business or permanent establishment, a dependent agent, a place of business or a place of management present or deemed present within the Taxing Authority),

(3) which failed to duly and timely comply with a timely request of the Company to provide information, documents or other evidence concerning such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits or identity, if and to the extent that (A) such Holder or beneficial owner was legally able to comply with such request and (B) due and timely compliance with such request is required by applicable law as a precondition to reduction or elimination of, and would have reduced or eliminated, any Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder or beneficial owner but for this clause (3),

(4) which is a fiduciary or a partnership or not the sole beneficial owner of the relevant Note, if and to the extent that any beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, any partner with respect to such partnership or any beneficial owner of such Note (as the case may be) would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts with respect to the payment in question had such beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the sole beneficial owner of such Note,

(5) in respect of any estate, gift, inheritance, value added, excise, transfer, intangible or similar tax,

(6) in respect of withholdings or deductions imposed on a payment to an individual that are required to be made pursuant to the European Union Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive,

(7) if and to the extent that such payment could have been made without deduction or withholding of such Taxes had the relevant Note been presented for payment (where presentation is required for payment) within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever was later (except to the extent that such Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period), or

(8) any combination of the above clauses in this proviso.

The Company or such Note Guarantor will also make such withholding or deduction, and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Company or the Note Guarantor will furnish to the Holders, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, copies of tax receipts, if any, evidencing that such payment has been made by the Company or such Note Guarantor, as applicable. The Company or any Note Guarantor will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder or beneficial owner of Notes (without duplication) that are Outstanding on the date of the required payment (other than an Excluded Holder) and upon written request reimburse each such Holder or beneficial owner (other than an Excluded Holder) for the amount of: (A) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder or beneficial owner (without duplication) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes, and (B) any Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clause (A) immediately above, in each case without duplication of any payment made by the Company or a Note Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.22(a) (such amount provided in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, a “Reimbursement Payment”).

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if the Company becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders of the Notes on the payment date.

(c) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context: (i) the payment of principal (and premium, if any), (ii) purchase prices in connection with a repurchase or a redemption of Notes, (iii) interest, or (iv) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Notes or the Note Guarantees, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts and Reimbursement Payments provided for in this Section 3.22 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

Section 3.23. Covenant Suspension.

(a) Beginning on a Covenant Suspension Date and ending on the next Reversion Date (such period, a “Suspension Period”) with respect to the Notes, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants provided in Section 3.8, Section 3.9, Section 3.10, Section 3.11, Section 3.12, Section 3.13, Section 3.15, Section 3.17, clauses (1)(A), (2) and (3) of Section 3.18, Section 3.19 and clause (2) of Section 4.1(a) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”)

(b) On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (4) of Section 3.8(b). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.10 will be made as though the provisions of Section 3.10 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, all Consolidated EBITDA and other amounts attributable to the Suspension Period that would otherwise increase the amount of Restricted Payments available to be made pursuant to any clause of Section 3.10 (including clause (3) of Section 3.10(a)) shall be excluded in determining the amount of Restricted Payments available to be made following the Reversion Date). In addition, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the relevant Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period with respect to the Suspended Covenants.

(d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, during a Suspension Period, the Board of Directors of the Company will not be entitled to designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and all references to Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to refer to Subsidiaries.

(e) The Company will deliver to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of each Covenant Suspension Date and each Reversion Date promptly upon the occurrence thereof, but in any event, within five Business Days after the occurrence thereof.

(3) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(ii) above (including, without limitation, giving effect on a pro forma basis to any Indebtedness, including any Acquired Indebtedness, Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing;

(4) each Note Guarantor (including Persons that become Note Guarantors as a result of such transaction) has confirmed by supplemental indenture that its Note Guarantee will apply to the Obligations of the Successor Company in respect of this Indenture and the Notes; and

(5) the Company or the Successor Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition and, if required in connection with such transaction, the supplemental indenture, comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to the transaction have been satisfied.

For purposes of this Section 4.1, the transfer (by assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.1(a)(2) above will not apply to:

(1) any transfer of the properties or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to a Note Guarantor;

(2) subject to Section 10.3, any merger of a Restricted Subsidiary into the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) any merger of the Company into a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company created for the purpose of holding the Capital Stock of the Company; or

(4) a merger between the Company and a newly-created Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another State of the United States or in another province of Canada,

so long as, in each case, the Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby.

(c) Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section 4.1, in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the Successor Company formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as such. For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with this Section 4.1 will not affect the Obligations of the Company (including a Successor Company, if applicable) under Section 3.21, if applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole may, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its or their respective properties or assets considered as one enterprise, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with the notice, the Company shall pay the Notes at the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1. Events of Default. (a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) default in the payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Notes, including the failure to make a required payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an optional redemption, Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer;

(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest or Additional Amounts on any Notes (including Additional Interest payable under any Registration Rights Agreement);

(3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Section 3.16 for 120 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting as a single class;

(4) the failure to perform or comply with Section 4.1(a)(1);

(5) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in the Notes for 60 days or more after written notice to the Company from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

(6) default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under any Indebtedness which:

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default; or

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity;

and the principal or accreted amount of Indebtedness covered by clause (A) or (B) above at the relevant time, aggregates $15.0 million or more.

(7) failure by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay one or more final judgments against any of them which are not covered by adequate insurance by a solvent insurer of national or international reputation which has acknowledged its obligations in writing, aggregating $15.0 million or more, which judgment(s) are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days or more;

(8) a Bankruptcy Event of Default; or

(9) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Note Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Note Guarantor, denies or disaffirms such Note Guarantor’s Obligations under its Note Guarantee.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default 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.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee written notice of any event which would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof, within five Business Days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of such event. If a Default or Event of Default occurs, is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Notes notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders of Notes.

Section 6.2. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1(a) with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes may declare the unpaid principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (an “Acceleration Declaration”). If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1(a) occurs with respect to the Company, then the unpaid principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) At any time after an Acceleration Declaration as set forth in Section 6.2(a), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances.

No rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any rights relating thereto.

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

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

Section 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Notes.

Section 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 6.6. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

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

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

(3) such Holders of the Notes provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it;

(4) the Trustee does not comply within 60 days after the receipt of the request and offer of indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period provided in clause (4) above, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of then Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a written direction which is inconsistent with the request.

Section 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates, Redemption Dates or repurchase date expressed in this Indenture or the Notes, 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 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and each Note Guarantor for the whole amount then due and owing (together with applicable interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

Section 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim, etc. (a) The Trustee may:

(1) 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 under this Indenture and the Notes allowed in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any Note Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or their respective creditors or properties; and

(2) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable in respect of any such claims and distribute them in accordance with this Indenture.

Any receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such 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, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7.

(b) Nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, examinership, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI or, after an Event of Default, distributable in respect of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

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

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

THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount pursuant to Article X hereof from any Note Guarantor, to such Note Guarantor, or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may, upon written notice to the Company, fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee. (a) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions).

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

(2) the Trustee shall 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; and

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Notes, determined as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes.

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

(j) In the absence of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the application of any money by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

(k) No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation; and no permissive or discretionary power or authority available to the Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(l) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation, any provision of any future law or regulation or any future act of any governmental authority, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

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, the Note Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.

(b) The Company and each Note Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their officers, agents, directors and employees for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damages, claims, liability or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)) incurred by it without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Note Guarantor or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Company and each Note Guarantor promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money and property held or collected by the Trustee other than money and property held in trust to pay principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on particular Notes.

(d) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law; provided, however, that this shall not affect the Trustee’s rights as set forth in this Section 7.7 or Section 6.10.

(e) “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. (a) The Trustee or any successor hereunder may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall 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 otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the “retiring Trustee”), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7; provided all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) 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.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. (a) If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

(b) In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

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

Section 7.12. Appointment of Co-Trustees. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, each of the Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, the Company and each applicable Note Guarantor shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Company either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.12. If the Company or any applicable Note Guarantor does not join in such appointment within fifteen days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company or any Note Guarantor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company and/or such Note Guarantor.

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law and applicable regulation, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

(1) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee;

(2) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law or applicable regulation of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(3) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 7.12, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. The Company and each applicable Note Guarantor shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 7.12; and

(4) neither the Trustee nor any co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law and applicable regulations, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of his, her or its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law and applicable regulations, without appointment of a new or successor trustee.

ARTICLE VIII

DEFEASANCE; DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 8.1. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(a) The Company may, at its option, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.1(b) or (c) be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.2.

(b) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the date all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (including Section 8.2(4)(B)) are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.3 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(b), and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(i) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.3, and as more fully set forth in Section 8.3, payments in respect of the principal of, premium (including Additional Interest), if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes when such payments are due,

(ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 3.2,

(iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith, and

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.1(c).

(c) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1(a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Sections 3.8 through 3.22, clauses (2) and (4) of Section 4.1(a), Sections 4.1(b) and (c) and Section 10.7 hereof with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not Outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed Outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default under Sections 6.1(a)(3), (4), (5) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), (6), (7) and (9) hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

(5) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 8.2 (except any Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to comply with Section 3.8 as a result of the borrowing of the funds required to effect such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the Trustee has received Officers’ Certificates to such effect on the date of such deposit;

(6) the Trustee has received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

AMENDMENTS

Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. (a) The Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, any Note Guarantee or the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder:

(11) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.

(b) After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.1.

Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders. (a) The Company, the Note Guarantors 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 at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Subject to Section 6.4, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may waive compliance by the Company and the Note Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment may not:

(1) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including Defaulted Interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on any Notes or change in any adverse respect the obligation of the Company and the Note Guarantors to pay Additional Amounts;

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the Stated Maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor as set forth in Article V;

(6) eliminate or modify in any manner the obligations of a Note Guarantor with respect to its Note Guarantee, which adversely affects Holders in any material respect, except contemplated in this Indenture; or

(7) make any changes in the provisions of Section 3.22 that adversely affects the rights of any Holder or amend the terms of the Notes in a way that would result in a loss of exemption from Taxes.

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2.

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

Section 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of such Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, except as otherwise provided in this Article IX. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents under Section 9.2.

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date, which need not be the date provided in TIA § 316(c) to the extent it would otherwise be applicable, for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

Section 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note will execute and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.

Section 9.6. Trustee to Sign Amendments and Supplements. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver have been complied with.

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.1. Note Guarantees. (a) Each Note Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the extent permitted by law, jointly and severally with each other Note Guarantor, to each Holder and the Trustee, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the Obligations (such guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts stated in Section 10.1(f), any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing or exercising any rights under any Note Guarantee.

(b) In no event shall the Trustee or the Holders be obligated to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing or exercising any rights under any Note Guarantee.

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

(d) Except as provided in Section 10.2, the Obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full.

(e) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium (including Additional Amounts), if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Trustee or any Holder has at law or in equity against each Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Note Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing; and

(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law);

provided that any delay by the Trustee in giving such written demand shall in no event affect any Note Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(g) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Note Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand:

(i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby; and

(ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Note Guarantor for the purposes of its Note Guarantee.

Section 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) Each Note 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 Note Guarantor not constitute fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state, Canadian or provincial law, or law of the jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of such Note Guarantor, to the extent applicable to such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee (collectively, the “Applicable Provisions”). To effectuate the foregoing Applicable Provisions, the Obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution Obligations under this Indenture, result in the Obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under any Applicable Provisions.

101

(b) A Note Guarantor will be released and relieved of its Obligations under its Note Guarantee in the event that:

(1) there is a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes as set forth under Section 8.1 or the discharge of the Company’s Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(2) (A) there is a sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Note Guarantor following which such Note Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company or (B) in the case of a Note Guarantor whose assets and operations are not material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, upon or immediately prior to the commencement of liquidation or dissolution proceedings of such Note Guarantor, so long as its assets are to be distributed to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to such proceedings; or

(3) such Note Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 3.19;

provided that the transaction is carried out in accordance with all other applicable provisions of this Indenture.

Section 10.3. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc. on Certain Terms. Each Note Guarantor will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Note Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge into, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person (other than the Company) that is not a Note Guarantor unless:

(1) such Person (if such Person is the surviving entity) assumes all of the Obligations of such Note Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee by executing a supplemental indenture and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Indenture, and such transaction is otherwise in compliance with this Indenture;

(2) such Note Guarantee is to be released as provided under Section 10.2(b); or

(3) such sale or other disposition of substantially all of such Note Guarantor’s assets is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.12.

Section 10.4. Right of Contribution. Each Note Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Note Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Note Guarantor in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Note Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall in no respect limit the Obligations and liabilities of each Note Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Note Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Note Guarantor hereunder.

102

Section 10.5. No Subrogation. Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, such amount shall be held by such Note Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Note Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Note Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Note Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Note Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

Section 10.6 Evidence of Note Guarantee. To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1, each Note Guarantor hereby agrees to execute this Indenture with effect as of the date hereof or, in the case of a Person becoming a Subsidiary Note Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.7, to execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D.

Section 10.7. Additional Note Guarantees. The Company will cause any Person (whether a newly created or acquired Person or an existing Restricted Subsidiary that is not already a Note Guarantor) that becomes a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company (including upon a Revocation of the Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) (an “Additional Note Guarantor”) to concurrently grant a guarantee (an “Additional Note Guarantee”) of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes to the same extent that the Note Guarantors have guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel; provided, however, that each Additional Note Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its obligations under such Additional Note Guarantee only in accordance with Section 10.2.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest

MDC Partners Inc., a corporation continued under the laws of Canada (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.

The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date of each year commencing May 1, 2010; provided that if any such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, October 23, 2009; provided that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default on the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after October 23, 2009), interest shall accrue from, and including, such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from, and including, October 23, 2009. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), without regard to any applicable grace period, at the then applicable rate on the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

All payments made by the Company in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In that event, the Company will pay to each Holder of the Notes Additional Amounts as provided in the Indenture subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.

2. Method of Payment

By at least 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal and/or interest. The Company will pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled, repurchased or redeemed after the Record Date and on or before the relevant Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 with respect to Defaulted Interest. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in U.S. Legal Tender.

A - 5

Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the DTC. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Certificated Note (including principal and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each registered Holder thereof as set forth in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company, any Note Guarantor or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture

The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of October 23, 2009 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company of which $225,000,000 in aggregate principal amount will be initially issued on the Issue Date. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue Additional Notes. All Notes will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.

The obligations of each Note Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar illegal transfer under federal or state law or the law of the jurisdiction of formation or incorporation of such Note Guarantor.

5. Optional Redemption

(a) Optional Redemption. Except as stated below, the Company may not redeem the Notes prior to November 1, 2013. The Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on and after November 1, 2013, at the following redemption prices, expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on November 1 of any year set forth below:

Year	Percentage
2013		105.500	%
2014		102.750	%
2015 and thereafter		100.000	%

(b) Make-Whole Redemption. At any time prior to November 1, 2013, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any date of redemption, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the present value at such date of redemption of (1) the redemption price of such Note on November 1, 2013 (such redemption price being described under this Section 5) plus (2) all remaining required interest payments due on such Note through November 1, 2013 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the then-Outstanding principal amount of such Note.

A - 7

“Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to November 1, 2013; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to November 1, 2013 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.

(c) Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to November 1, 2012, the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 111% of the principal amount thereof; provided that:

(1) after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding; and

(2) the Company will make such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of such Equity Offering.

(d) Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Company may at any time, at its option, redeem, in whole but not in part, the outstanding Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption if it has become or would become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) or any Reimbursement Payments (as defined in the Indenture) in respect of the Notes as a result of:

(1) any change in or amendment to the laws (or regulations promulgated thereunder, rulings, technical interpretations, interpretation bulletins or information circulars) of any Taxing Authority (as defined in the Indenture); or

(2) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings, technical interpretations, interpretation bulletins or information circulars (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction),

which change or amendment is announced or is effective on or after the Issue Date (without regard to whether any Note Guarantor is or has been making any payments under the Notes prior to, at or after the time such change or amendment is announced or effective).

It shall be a condition to the Company’s right to redeem the Notes pursuant to the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph that, prior to giving any notice of redemption of the Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company has determined in its reasonable judgment that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) an Opinion of Counsel that the circumstances described in the immediately preceding paragraph exist. No such notice of redemption may be given more than 90 days before or more than 365 days after the Company first becomes liable (or, if later, the earlier of the date on which it first becomes aware of its liability or the date on which it reasonably should have become aware of its liability) to pay any Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments as a result of a change or amendment described above.

A - 8

(e) Optional Redemption Procedures. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made in accordance with Article V of the Indenture. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture.

6. Mandatory Repurchase Provisions

(a) Change Of Control Offer. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (provided that the unpurchased portion will be in a denomination of at least $2,000)) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase; provided that the Company will not be required to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes in accordance with Section 5 hereof or if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to a Change of Control Notice. As more fully described in the Indenture, the Change of Control Notice shall state, among other things, the Change of Control Payment Date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, other than as may be required by applicable law.

(b) Asset Sale Offer. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make Asset Sales. In the event the proceeds from a permitted Asset Sale exceed certain amounts and are not applied as specified in the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an Asset Sale Offer to purchase to the extent of such remaining proceeds each Holder’s Notes together with holders of certain other Indebtedness at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture.

[Insert for Certificated Notes:

After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

11. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity

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

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article IV of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes, or to add Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to secure the Notes, or to add additional covenants of the Company or the Note Guarantors for the benefit of the Holders or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Note Guarantors, or to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the TIA, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect, or to provide for the issuance of Exchange Notes or Additional Notes, or to conform the text of the Indenture, Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular to the extent that such provision in such “Description of Notes” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, or to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.

13. Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default, which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

14. Trustee Dealings with the Company and the Note Guarantors

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, 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, any Note Guarantor or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Note Guarantor or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights.

A - 11

By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
