On each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to August 1, 2007, the Company may elect to pay interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash and through the issuance of (i) Additional Notes, in denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples thereof, or (ii) ADSs of the Company, having a value equal to the interest due (in excess of the portion of such interest paid in cash at the Cash Interest Rate), which ADSs shall be issued at a 5% discount to the 20 trading day Volume Weighted Average Price per ADS, or any combination thereof, in each case as more fully set forth in the Indenture; provided, that, in the event the Company elects to pay any portion of the interest in Additional Notes or ADSs on any Interest Payment Date as provided herein, it shall pay cash interest on such Interest Payment Date at the interest rate of 2% per annum or such higher rate as the Company may elect with respect to such Interest Payment Date. In the event the Company elects to pay any portion of the interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than in cash, the annual interest rate applicable for such Interest Payment Date shall be as set forth below:

Voluntary Reduction Amount		Interest Rate Reduction

Less than $100,000,000		0.00%
$100,000,000 up to $150,000,000		0.67%

In addition, following an Event of Default, any unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, will accrue interest at the Default Rate until such time as full payment is made thereon.

In the event the Company exercises its option to extend the maturity date of the Notes to August 1, 2008 as provided in the Indenture, the interest rate shall be 12% per annum during such extended term (subject to reduction as described above), and such interest shall be payable quarterly, in advance, on August 1, 2007, November 1, 2008, February 1, 2008 and May 1, 2008, and only in cash, as provided in the Indenture.

America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; or at the option of the Company payment of cash interest and Additional Amounts, if any, may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register; provided that any Holder of more than $2 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes that has so elected and given wire transfer instructions to the Company shall be entitled to receive all payments of principal and interest and Additional Amounts with a Regular Record Date after the date the Company receives such notice with respect to Notes held by such Holders by wire transfer of immediately available funds within the United States to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof.

SECTION 2.03 FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its Senior Secured Notes due 2007 (herein called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal amount to $508,703,356, except for Additional Notes and Notes issued pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.08, 3.09, 4.08, 5.16, 5.18 and 10.06 of the Indenture, issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 11, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Company hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or other governmental charges of the United Mexican States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction or any such political subdivision or taxing authority (or by the jurisdiction of incorporation, seat of management or residence for tax purposes of any successor to the Company (a “Successor Jurisdiction”)) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Company under the Notes (“Taxes”), then, unless the Company pays the amount of such deduction or withholding directly to the Mexican Government, or is entitled to a credit against such payment, the Company will pay in cash to the Holder of a Note such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to the Holder of such Note who, with respect to any such Tax after such deduction or withholding (including any withholding or deduction imposed on Additional Amounts), shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Note to which such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

(a) any Tax, which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Note (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(c) any Tax, which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of or interest on the Notes;

(d) any Tax, that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Note with a written request of the Company addressed to the Holder furnished at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the Company applies this clause (d) (or in the event of any subsequent change in any such requirement at least 60 days prior to the first payment date for which such change is effective)
(i) to provide information, documents and other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make and deliver any declaration or other similar claim (other than a claim for refund of a Tax, withheld by the Company) or satisfy any information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

(e) any combination of items (a), (b), (c) and (d);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of the Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts set forth in clause (d) above will not apply if:

(i) the provision of information, documentation or other evidence described in such clause (d) would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under United States tax law (including the United States — Mexico Income Tax Treaty), regulation and administrative practice (such as Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 and W-9); or

(ii) Rule 3.28.8 issued by the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (Ministry of Finance and Public Credit) on April 30, 2004 or a substantially similar successor of such rule is in effect, unless (a) the provision of the information, documentation or other evidence described in clause (d) is expressly required by statute, regulation, ruling or administrative practice in order to apply Rule 3.28.8 (or successor rule), the Company cannot obtain such information, documentation or other evidence on its own through reasonable diligence and the Company otherwise would meet the requirements for application of Rule Rule 3.28.8 (or successor rule) or (b) in the case of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note that is a pension fund or other tax-exempt organization, payments to such Holder or beneficial owner would be subject to Taxes at a rate less than that provided by Rule Rule 3.28.8 (or successor rule) if the information, documentation or other evidence required under clause (d) above were provided.

In addition, clause (d) above shall be construed to require that a non-Mexican pension or retirement fund or other Holder or beneficial owner of a Note register with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico for the purpose of establishing eligibility for an exemption from or reduction of Taxes.

The Company shall make any required withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority, as and when required by applicable law. The Company shall furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due, evidence of such payment by the Company. The Company shall deliver copies of such evidence to Holders of the Notes or the Paying Agent upon request.

The Company shall pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary or other similar Taxes, charges or levies that arise in the United Mexican States or any of its political subdivisions (or any Successor Jurisdiction) from the execution, delivery, registration of, or enforcement of rights under, the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole but not in part at any time, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date fixed for redemption if, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the Mexican Government (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which the Mexican Government (or such political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which becomes effective on or after the Initial Issuance Date, the Company is or would be required on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes at a rate in excess of that in effect at the Initial Issuance Date, and the payment of such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Company. The Company will also pay to the Holders on the Redemption Date any Additional Amounts which would otherwise be payable.

The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date, until such time as the Company shall have previously repaid, redeemed or otherwise retired $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and thereafter (ii) 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date. In the case of any redemption pursuant to this paragraph, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder, or the Person designated by such Holder, hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture provides that, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be obligated to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at a Repurchase Price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon to the Repurchase Date, until such time as the Company shall have previously repaid, redeemed or otherwise retired an aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 of the Notes, and thereafter (ii) 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Repurchase Date.

The Indenture provides that, subject to certain conditions, in the event of certain Asset Dispositions and Qualifying Dispositions and receipt by the Company of VAT Cash Proceeds, the Company will be obligated to offer to purchase on a pro rata basis Notes at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon to the Repurchase Date, with the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition or Qualifying Disposition or VAT Cash Proceeds.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company may terminate all of its obligations under the Notes, except certain specified obligations, 91 days following the deposit with the Trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations which, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in compliance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and each installment of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Outstanding Notes at maturity or upon redemption.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional

ARTICLE THREE
THE NOTES

SECTION 3.01 TITLE AND TERMS.

(a) The Notes shall be known and designated as the “Senior Secured Notes Due 2007” of the Company. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered from time to time under this Indenture is limited to $508,703,356, except for (i) Additional Notes issued in payment of interest on the Notes as provided in Section 3.01(c), and (ii) Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.08, 3.09, 4.08, 5.16, 5.18 and 10.06.

(b) The Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes shall be August 1, 2007, unless extended at the option of the Company as set forth below. At any time on or prior to the 90^th day prior to the then scheduled Stated Maturity, the Company may elect (the “Extension Election”) to extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of all of the Notes Outstanding from the then scheduled Stated Maturity to August 1, 2008. In order to validly make the Extension Election, (i) the Company must provide written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Extension Election not later than 90 days prior to the then scheduled Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes, (ii) the Company must pay to the Holders of the Notes a cash fee (the “Extension Fee”) equal to 4.00% of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding on August 1, 2007; (iii) the Company must deposit with the Trustee not later than August 1, 2007 an amount in cash sufficient to pay the interest and Additional Amounts, if any, that would accrue on the Notes during the first quarterly interest period following such extension (based on the amount of Notes Outstanding on August 1, 2007); and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on August 1, 2007 or shall occur as a result of the Company making the Extension Election. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee at the time of such Extension Election an Officers’ Certificate stating that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Extension Fee shall be paid together with the installment of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, due on the Interest Payment Date that occurs on August 1, 2007 to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date with respect to such Interest Payment Date.

(c) The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 10-1/2% per annum, from the Initial Issuance Date, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2005, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment; provided, however, that if the Company makes the Extension Election, (i) the interest rate payable during the additional one year period of the extended term of the Notes shall be 12.00% per annum; (ii) the interest that would accrue for the period ending on November 1, 2007 shall be paid, quarterly in advance, commencing on August 1, 2007, as set forth in Section 3.01(b); and (iii) the interest due for the remaining term of the Notes shall be paid quarterly in advance on November 1, 2007, February 1, 2008 and May 1, 2008. The interest due on any Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to August 1, 2007 other than pursuant to the exercise of the Extension Election shall be paid as follows:

(i) The Company may pay any portion of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash at the rate of 10-1/2% per annum; provided, that the Company shall be required to pay interest at the rate of at least 2.00% per annum (the “Minimum Cash Rate”) in cash on each Interest Payment Date (the amount of interest that the Company pays in cash on any such Interest Payment Date, expressed as an annual percentage rate, is referred to herein as the “Cash Interest Rate”).

(ii) On each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to August 1, 2007 other than pursuant to the exercise of the Extension Election, the Company may elect to pay any interest due on such Interest Payment Date in excess of the portion of such interest paid in cash at the Minimum Cash Rate through the issuance to the Holders of (x) Additional Notes in a principal amount equal to the amount of interest due on such Interest Payment Date in excess of the portion of such interest paid at the Cash Interest Rate, (y) a number of ADSs equal to the quotient of (A) the interest due on such Interest Payment Date in excess of the portion of such interest paid at the Cash Interest Rate and (B) the product of (1) 0.95 and (2) the Volume Weighted Average Price per ADS for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, or (z) a combination of (x) and (y), in any such case in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest due on such Interest Payment Date in excess of the portion of such interest paid at the Cash Interest Rate. In the event that the Company elects to pay any portion of the interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than in cash as permitted above, the annual interest rate applicable to the interest due on such Interest Payment Date shall be the Applicable Rate set forth below minus the Cash Interest Rate for such Interest Payment Date:

Interest Payment Date		Applicable Interest Rate
February 1, 2005		12.00%
August 1, 2005		12.00%
February 1, 2006		12.00%
August 1, 2006		12.00%
February 1, 2007		12.50%
August 1, 2007		13.00%

The Company shall be responsible for the computation of the principal amount of Additional Notes or the number of ADSs to be issued on any Interest Payment Date and shall certify such amount or number to the Trustee. To the extent that the computation of the principal amount of Additional Notes or the number of ADSs to be issued on any Interest Payment Date would result in the issuance to any Holder of a fractional Additional Note or a fractional ADS, the Company shall, at its option, either (i) pay cash in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the principal amount of such fractional Additional Note or the Volume Weighted Average Price of such fractional ADS, as applicable, or (ii) round such fractional Additional Note or ADS up to the nearest whole Additional Note or ADS. In computing the fractional Additional Note or ADS applicable to any Holder, the interest due on all Notes owned beneficially or of record by such Holder shall be aggregated.

The Company shall deliver a notice to the Trustee and the Holders of any election to pay any portion of the interest as provided above in Additional Notes or ADSs on an Interest Payment Date as provided above at least five Business Days prior to the related Regular Record Date. Such notice shall specify the types and percentage amounts of the non-cash interest to be paid on such Interest Payment Date. Any Additional Notes issued in payment of interest shall be delivered to the Trustee not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date and shall be registered in the name of the Holder entitled to receive such payment of interest. Each such Note shall be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date in respect of which it is issued, shall accrue interest from the applicable Interest Payment Date in respect of which it is issued, shall be an additional obligation of the Company and the Guarantors and shall be governed by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Collateral Documents on the same terms as the Notes in respect of which such Additional Notes were issued (except, as the case may be, with respect to the date of issuance and the principal amount thereof). Any ADSs issued in payment of interest shall be delivered to the Trustee not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date and shall be registered in the name of the Holder entitled to receive such payment of interest. As a condition to the ability of the Company to elect to issue ADSs in payment of any portion of the interest due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company shall have in effect as of such Interest Payment Date a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ADSs to be issued or shall provide to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that no such registration is necessary and that the ADSs to be issued on such Interest Payment Date will be freely transferable under the Securities Act by any Holder other than an “affiliate” of the Company.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company makes the Extension Election, (x) the applicable interest rate for each Interest Payment Date occurring during such extended term shall be 12.00% per annum (subject to reduction as set forth in clause (iv), below) and (y) all payments of interest due on each Interest Payment Date occurring during such extended term (including August 1, 2007) shall be paid quarterly in advance on August 1, 2007, November 1, 2007, February 1, 2008 and May 1, 2008, and only in cash.

(iv) In the event that the Company (A) redeems Notes pursuant to Section 4.01, (B) offers to repurchase Notes pursuant to Section 5.16 or pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 5.18 (and the Company purchases all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of such offer to purchase (or a prorated amount thereof in accordance with the terms of such offer to purchase)), or (C) exchanges Notes pursuant to a Qualifying Exchange (each, a “Voluntary Reduction”) and the cumulative principal amount of all Voluntary Reductions after the Initial Issuance Date equals the respective amount set forth below, the annual interest rate payable on the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) (including after the exercise of the Extension Election) shall be reduced by the applicable amount set forth below:

Voluntary Reduction Amount		Interest Rate Reduction

less than $100,000,000		0.00%

$100,000,000 up to $150,000,000		0.67%
more than $150,000,000		1.00%

; provided that such interest rate reduction shall not be more than 1.00% per annum in the aggregate.

Any such interest rate reduction shall become effective at the time the Company redeems, repays, repurchases or otherwise retires the applicable Voluntary Reduction amount or, in the case of any offer to purchase pursuant to Section 5.16 or 5.18 or otherwise, at the applicable Repurchase Date or expiration date (so long as all Notes validly tendered for purchase on such Repurchase Date or expiration date are purchased pursuant to such offer to purchase); provided, that if such date occurs on or after the Regular Record Date for any payment of interest, such interest rate reduction shall become effective on the next Interest Payment Date following the Interest Payment Date related to such Regular Record Date. In the event of any Voluntary Reduction, the Company shall give the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Voluntary Reduction has occurred, that it has complied with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c)(iv), and the amount of the interest rate reduction and the effective date of the interest rate reduction. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to determine the accuracy or correctness of this computation and shall be fully protected in relying on such Officers’ Certificate. In the event that any Voluntary Reduction results in an interest rate reduction, the Trustee shall give notice to all holders of such Voluntary Reduction, the amount of the interest rate reduction and the effective date of the interest rate reduction.

(d) The principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register; provided that any Holder of more than $2 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes that has so elected and given wire transfer instructions to the Company shall be entitled receive all payments of principal and interest and Additional Amounts with a Regular Record Date after the date the Company receives such notice with respect to Notes held by such Holders by wire transfer of immediately available funds within the United States to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Payment of any non-cash interest through the issuance of Additional Notes or the delivery of ADRs shall be effected by delivery of the certificates representing such Additional Notes or ADRs, in the case of any Global Notes, to the Custodian, and, in the case of the Definitive Notes, to the Holder entitled thereto by mailing such certificates to the address shown on the Note Register. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. The Notes will be issued in denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples thereof. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Notes and/or ADRs with the Custodian in the case of Global Notes and by mailing the applicable Additional Notes and/or ADRs to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register.

(e) The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Four.

(f) The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

SECTION 3.02 DENOMINATIONS; PAYMENT CURRENCY. The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple thereof. All cash payments in respect of principal of and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts on the Notes shall be in United States Dollars.

SECTION 3.03 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. The Notes shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, its Director General, its Chief Operating Officer, or its Chief Financial Officer, and by its Director of Administration, its Treasurer or any other duly authorized officer. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.

Only such Notes as shall bear a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, manually executed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company and the Guarantors shall bind the Company and the Guarantors, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company and the Guarantors to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Notes to the Company or as directed by a Company Order, without any further action by the Company or the Guarantors.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 3.04 TEMPORARY NOTES. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and, upon compliance with Section 3.03, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued, which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, and with such appropriate insertions,

omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

SECTION 3.05 NOTE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Note Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Note Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Note Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Note Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

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

The Company shall, prior to each Regular Record Date, notify the Paying Agent of any wire transfer instructions for payments that it receives from Holders.

SECTION 3.06 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest or Additional Amounts on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 3.07 HOLDER LISTS. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If the Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 3.08 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) Except as provided in this Section 3.08 and the sections of the Indenture referenced herein, notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Definitive Notes, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Notes or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary or the Trustee has notified the Company that the Depositary (A) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Notes or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 120 days of such notice, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that it elects to cause the issuance of the Notes in definitive form and that all Global Notes shall be exchanged in whole for Definitive Notes (in which case such exchange shall be effected by the Trustee) or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08(a), Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 3.04 and 3.09 hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 3.08(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 3.08(b) or (c) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

(i) If any Global Note is to be exchanged for other Notes or cancelled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Note Registrar, for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Three. If any Global Note is to be exchanged for other Notes or cancelled in part, or if another Note is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Note, then either (i) such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Three or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Note to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate endorsement made on the Global Notes by the Trustee, as Custodian, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such

surrender or adjustment of a Global Note, the Trustee shall, as provided in this Article Three, authenticate and deliver any Notes issuable in exchange for such Global Note (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 3.08(a), the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes that are not in the form of Global Notes. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article Three if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and in accordance with all applicable laws. Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article Three or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

(ii) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Note, shall be the Holder of such Global Note for all purposes under this Indenture and the Notes and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Note will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Participants.

(c) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.12 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction to reflect such increase.

(d) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture regarding restrictions on transfer, and authentication, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 5.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one

or more new Notes of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.04, 4.08, 5.16, 5.18 and 10.06 hereof).

Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either shall be required (i) to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption hereunder and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Trustee with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes or

(y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Trustee will register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that any Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(i) are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(ii) if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 3.08(f) hereof or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(A) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Note Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

(B) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

(C) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (1) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) and (2) if the Company so requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

(f) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, an IAI Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (B) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security or (C) being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (f)(i)(A)), Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (f)(i)(B)) or IAI Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (f)(i)(C)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note, Regulation S

Global Note or IAI Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee will cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and will credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes, IAI Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

(g) Exchanges Among Rule 144A Global Notes, IAI Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes. Prior to and after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note only if (i) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A or other registration exemptions under the Securities Act and (ii) the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (such certificate to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) to the effect that the Notes are being transferred to a Person (A) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB purchasing for its own account or a Person purchasing for the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (B) who the transferor reasonably believes to be an Institutional Accredited Investor purchasing for its own account or a Person purchasing for the account of an Institutional Accredited Investor in a transaction meeting the requirements of other registration exemptions under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (such certificate to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available) and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Beneficial interests in an IAI Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (such certificate to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) to the effect that the Notes are being transferred to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB purchasing for its own account or a Person purchasing for the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable

jurisdictions. Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in an IAI Global Note only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (such certificate to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) to the effect that the Notes are being transferred to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes to be an Institutional Accredited Investor purchasing for its own account or a Person purchasing for the account of an Institutional Accredited Investor in a transaction meeting the requirements of other registration exemptions under the Securities Act, in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions.

Transfers involving exchanges among beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note, an IAI Global Note and a Regulation S Global Note will be effected through the Depositary by means of an instruction originated by the Trustee through the DTC Deposit/Withdraw at Custodian system. Accordingly, in connection with any such transfer, appropriate adjustments will be made to reflect a decrease in the principal amount of one such Restricted Global Note and a corresponding increase in the principal amount of the other such Restricted Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one of the Restricted Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Restricted Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Restricted Global Note and will become an interest in such other Restricted Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to the beneficial interest in such other Restricted Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest. The policies and practices of the Depositary may prohibit transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.

(h) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if:

(A) such transfer is effected pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or

(B) the Trustee receives a certificate from the transferor in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, including the certifications in box (6) thereof;

and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (B), if the Trustee or the Company so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

SECTION 3.09 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN NOTES. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note (including the accompanying Guarantees) of like tenor, principal amount and Stated Maturity and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, principal amount and Stated Maturity and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If after the delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such new Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the person to whom it was delivered or any transferee thereof, except a bona fide purchaser of such new Note, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Company or the Trustee in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, 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) connected therewith.

Except as provided above, every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 3.10 PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (which, together with interest on overdue

installments of interest, to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law, at the Default Rate is herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, 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 on each Note 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 Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Company 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 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date and the Trustee, 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 mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such 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 clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 3.11 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentation of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.10) interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.12 CANCELLATION. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and, upon written request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction in respect thereof.

SECTION 3.13 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 3.14 RANKING; SUBORDINATION.

(a) The Notes rank pari passu in right of payment to all existing or future senior Indebtedness of the Company and rank senior to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated Indebtedness. All Indebtedness, notes, claims and payments owed by the Company or any Guarantor to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

SECTION 3.15 CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

In case of any partial redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee by Company Order of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and each Note Registrar in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

SECTION 4.07 NOTES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest and Additional Amounts) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 3.05.

Prior to the giving of notice of redemption of such Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption based on an Opinion of Counsel that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. Such notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, will be irrevocable.

ARTICLE FIVE
COVENANTS

So long as any of the Notes shall remain Outstanding, each of the Company and, as applicable, the Guarantors, covenants as follows:

SECTION 5.01 PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.

The Company and the Guarantors shall maintain in New York, New York an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company and the Guarantors shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency.

The Company and the Guarantors may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company and the Guarantors of their obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above. The Company and the Guarantors shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 5.03 MONEY FOR NOTE PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (or in the case of interest payable in Additional Notes or ADSs, an aggregate amount of such securities) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any), or interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, so becoming due, such sum (or Additional Notes or ADSs) to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(1) hold all sums and securities held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to, and such securities distributed to, such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts; and

To the extent that the Excess Proceeds are insufficient to repurchase all of the outstanding Notes properly tendered on the Proceeds Offer Repurchase Date, the Company shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer on a pro rata basis.

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Proceeds Offer Repurchase Date, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase, the certificate number of Notes the Holder delivered and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in

clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the principal of the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall automatically be accelerated and such amounts, as of the date of acceleration, shall be and become due and payable immediately, without any notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Upon any acceleration pursuant to this Section 6.03, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, through their agents and attorneys, may proceed, and upon the request of Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall proceed, to foreclose on the Collateral. To institute such foreclosure proceedings, the Trustee shall deliver a Notice of Sale as prescribed by each applicable Collateral Document, in each case with a copy to the Company.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the expenses, disbursements, advances and reasonable compensation of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.04 COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS BY TRUSTEE; TRUSTEE MAY PROVE DEBT. The Company covenants that:

(1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts on any of the Notes, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of five Business Days, and

(2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes when and as the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Notes or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise,

then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Notes for principal and premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, of each such Note and (to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law) upon any installments of interest and Additional Amounts, at the rate borne by the Notes; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder.

In addition to the rights and powers set forth in Section 317(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall be entitled to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Company, any Guarantor or other obligor upon the Notes, its creditors, or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders 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 it for compensation and expenses, including counsel fees incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 6.05 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company, any Guarantor or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses,

disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for expenses, disbursements, advances and reasonable compensation of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor trustee under Section 7.06.

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

SECTION 6.06 TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF NOTES. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Notes (including the Guarantees) may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of expenses, disbursements, advances and reasonable compensation of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 6.07 APPLICATION OF MONEY OR PROPERTY COLLECTED. Subject to Article Thirteen, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal (or premium, if any), interest or Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor trustee under Section 7.06; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money or property has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and

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

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.07.

SECTION 6.08 LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Collateral Documents, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Collateral Documents to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Collateral Documents, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

SECTION 6.09 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder, except that no Holder shall have the right to institute any such suit, if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would under applicable law result in the surrender, impairment, waiver, or loss of the Liens pursuant to the Collateral Documents upon any property or assets subject to the Liens.

SECTION 6.10 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Collateral Documents and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 6.11 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.12 DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.13 CONTROL BY HOLDERS. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that:

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(3) the Trustee may decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee’s board of directors or executive committee of directors or Responsible Officers shall determine in good faith that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability, or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

SECTION 6.14 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest or Additional Amounts on any Note, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 7.06 COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEE AND ITS LIEN. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and under the Collateral Documents (which shall be agreed to from time to time by the Company and the Trustee in writing and which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents (including reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon.

The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company shall have no obligation to pay for any settlement of any such claim made without its consent.

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 shall survive the resignation of the Trustee and/or the satisfaction and discharge or termination of this Indenture.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.07 RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON CERTIFICATE OF CERTAIN OFFICERS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 7.08 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR APPOINTMENT AS TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation which complies with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, and has (or in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company, the bank holding company and related entities have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or examining authority to which it is subject, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee which shall

be eligible to act as Trustee under Section 310(a)(1) and Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act 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 Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met.

The provisions of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act shall apply to the Company, the Guarantors and any other obligor of the Notes.

SECTION 7.09 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

(a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company and by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the delivery of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the requirements of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time either of the following shall occur:

(1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(2) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in either such case, the Company may remove the Trustee, and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the requirements of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the

appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by delivering to the trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Company, the evidence provided for in Section 8.01 of the action taken by the Holders.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Section shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.10 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed under Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any such amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 7.06.

No successor trustee with respect to the Notes shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall with respect to the Notes be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 1.05. If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 7.11 MERGER, CONVERSION OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such successor trustee shall be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 7.12 AUTHENTICATING AGENTS. There may be an Authenticating Agent appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of Notes issued upon exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver Notes, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes of this Indenture (except in the case of original issuance of Notes and the issuance of Notes in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Notes), the authentication and delivery of Notes by an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee,” and whenever this Indenture provides (except in the case of original issuance of the Notes and the issuance of Notes in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Notes) that “the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver” Notes, such authentication and delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, duly registered to act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.12 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section 7.12.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Upon the appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the Notes, of any successor, additional or new authenticating agent, the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Any

100

successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if initially named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12.

Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have represented to the Trustee that it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating Agent under this Section 7.12 and to have agreed with the Trustee that: it will perform and carry out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth, including, among other things, the duties to authenticate and deliver Notes when presented to it in connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions thereof; it will keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by the Trustee, appropriate records of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require; and it will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be eligible to act as Authenticating Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12. Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have agreed with the Trustee to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and to defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to act of such Authenticating Agent, but such Authenticating Agent shall have no liability for any action taken by it in accordance with the specific written direction of the Trustee.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation and expenses for its services (to the extent such compensation is not paid by the Company), and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to the provisions of Section 7.06.

The provisions of Sections 7.03, 7.04 and 7.07 shall inure to the benefit of each Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they inure to the benefit of the Trustee.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 7.12, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

SECTION 7.14 TRUSTEE RISK. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 7.15 NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If any Default or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event of Default is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 7.16 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 7.17 TRUSTEE’S APPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE COMPANY. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

SECTION 7.18 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. It is understood by the parties hereto other than The Bank of New York (the “Bank”) that the sole recourse of the parties hereto other than the Bank in respect of the obligations of the trust hereunder and under the other documents contemplated hereby and related hereto to which it is a party shall be to the parties

102

hereto other than the Bank. In addition, the Bank is entering into this Indenture and the other documents contemplated hereby and related hereto to which it is a party solely in its capacity as Trustee under this Indenture and not in its individual capacity (except as expressly stated herein) and in no case shall the Bank (or any Person acting as successor trustee under this Indenture) be personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of the Company or the Guarantors hereunder or thereunder, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and any Person claiming by, through or under such party, provided, however, that the Bank (or any such successor trustee) shall be personally liable hereunder and thereunder for its own negligence or willful misconduct or for its material breach of its covenants, representations and warranties contained herein or therein, to the extent expressly covenanted or made in its individual capacity. In no event shall the Trustee, in its capacity as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or in any other capacity hereunder, be liable under or in connection with this Indenture for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 8.01 EVIDENCE OF ACTION TAKEN BY HOLDERS. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage or a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), such action may be taken by (i) any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, (ii) vote of the Holders of Notes at a meeting duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (iii) a combination of such instrument or instruments and such vote, and the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage or majority have joined therein may be evidenced by (a) such instrument or instruments, (b) the record of such vote, or (c) a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record, and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments and/or such record are delivered to the Trustee, and where expressly required, to the Company.

SECTION 8.02 PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF NOTES. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05 hereof and Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Notes shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in any State within the United States, that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a

103

witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.

The ownership of Notes may be proved by the Note Registrar or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Notes any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Notes entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s discretion in accordance with Section 316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Notes of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be the Holders of Notes for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Notes Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 180 days after the record date.

The Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.

The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved as provided in Section 9.06.

SECTION 8.03 RIGHT OF REVOCATION OF ACTION TAKEN.

Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note, and of any Note issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Notes.

Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 8.02 or other proof. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Notes shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.02 or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or firm satisfactory to the Trustee.

A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

At any meeting each Holder of a Note or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1 principal amount of Notes held or represented by such Holder; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.

At any meeting, the presence of Persons holding or representing Notes in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action upon the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; but, if less than a quorum be present, the Persons holding or representing at least a majority of the Notes represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting with the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present.

SECTION 9.06 COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETING. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Notes or of their representatives by proxy and the serial numbers and principal amounts of the Notes held or represented by them.

A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the

106

(b) either (i) the Notes mature within one year or all of them are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption or (ii) if the Notes do not mature or are not to be called for redemption in accordance with clause (i) hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee either (A) a ruling directed to the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 12.01(b)(ii) and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised or (B) an Opinion of Counsel from nationally recognized United States counsel, to the same effect as the ruling described in

111

clause (A) above with no material qualifications and an Opinion of Counsel in the United Mexican States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Mexican taxes purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to Mexican taxes (including withholding taxes) on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had not occurred, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii); and

(1) subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, if any, the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders for that purpose, money or U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient (in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment of such interest on such U.S. Government Obligations, to pay principal of and interest and Additional Amounts on the Outstanding Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder, including Additional Amounts, if any, provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such trust funds to the payment of principal and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Outstanding Notes;

(2) no Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit or shall occur on or before 91 days after the date of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

(3) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid all sums then payable by the Company hereunder and under the Notes;

(4) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act;

(5) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from nationally recognized United States counsel, with no material qualifications, stating that (A) the deposit shall not result in the Company, the Trustee or the trust becoming or being deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (B) upon making the deposit, a valid trust is created at the time of such deposit and the Holders of the Notes will have the sole beneficial ownership interest under applicable law in the money or U.S. Government Obligations so deposited in such trust, except that the Opinion of Counsel referred to in this clause (B) may contain a qualification that in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction were to determine that the trust funds remained property of the Company after such deposit, the Holders of the Notes will have a nonavoidable first priority perfected security interest under applicable

112

law in the money or U.S. Government Obligations so deposited, which security interest will not be subject to any prior rights of holders of any other Indebtedness; and

(6) the Company shall take any and all acts necessary to create and perfect, in favor of the Holders of the Notes, a first priority security interest in the money or U.S. Government Obligations so deposited and shall take any other action and execute and deliver any other documents that may reasonably be requested by the Trustee to effectuate such security interest, and shall do all of the above at such appropriate time so that such security interest shall attach to the deposit at the time such deposit is made;

and in either case of (a) or (b) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that a valid trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes be created at the time that the Company makes the deposit pursuant to Section 12.0l(b)(1). The security interest in such deposit that is granted herein to the Holders of the Notes is intended solely as protection for the Holders of the Notes in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction were to determine either that (i) such trust had not been validly created or (ii) such trust is not enforceable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), prior to the end of the 91-day period referred to in clause (b)(2) above, none of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be discharged, and subsequent to the end of such 91-day period the Company’s obligations in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 5.01, 5.02, 5.04, 5.11, 7.06, 7.09, 7.10, 12.02, 12.03 and 12.04 shall survive until the Notes are no longer Outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.06, 12.03 and 12.04 shall survive. If and when a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (b)(ii) above is able to be provided specifically without regard to, and not in reliance upon, the continuance of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and Section 5.01, then the Company’s obligations under the Notes and Sections 5.01 and 5.02 shall cease upon delivery to the Trustee of such ruling or opinion and compliance with the other conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

After a deposit and delivery of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and compliance with the other conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

“U.S. Government Obligations” means non-callable, direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged.

SECTION 12.03 REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. Subject to Section 12.02 the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or Notes held by them at any time and they shall thereupon be relieved from all liability with respect to such money.

After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

SECTION 12.04 REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 12.02 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 12.02; provided that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or Additional Amounts or principal of any Note because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN
GUARANTEE

SECTION 14.01 GUARANTEE. By its execution hereof, the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that they receive substantial benefits from the Company and that they are providing their Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, such substantial benefits and services. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of this Article Fourteen, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees on a senior secured basis to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (i) the principal of, and premium, Additional Amounts and interest (including, without limitation, any interest that accrued after, or would accrue but for, the commencement of a proceeding of the type described in Section 6.01(7) or (8)) on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon an Offer, upon an Excess Proceeds Offer or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal, and premium, if any, Additional Amounts and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any interest, if any, on the Notes, Additional Amounts, if any, and all other obligations (including fees, expenses or other) of the Company to the Holders, or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder, under the Notes and the Collateral Documents and the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Guarantees, whether now or hereafter existing, shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon an Offer, upon an Excess Proceeds Offer or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 14.05 (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”). An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the Guarantee Obligations of the Company. Each Guarantee is intended to be superior to or pari passu in right of payment with all Indebtedness of the respective Guarantor and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents are independent of any obligation of the Company or any other Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents. Each Guarantor further agrees that the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor, and that each Guarantor will remain bound under this Article Fourteen notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any obligation under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents.

Subject to the provisions of this Article Fourteen, the Guarantors hereby agree that their Guarantee hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantors. The Guarantors hereby expressly waive and relinquish: (a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each, a “Benefited Party”) to proceed against the

115

Company or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Benefited Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s power before proceeding against the Guarantors; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional Indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantors, the Company, any Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantors or the Company or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantors for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; and (f) the benefits of orden excusion y division and of prior judgment, levy, execution and other rights provided for in Articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2820, 2821, 2823, 2827 and 2836 of the Civil Code of the Federal District of Mexico, and the corresponding articles of the other states of Mexico, which articles are not reproduced herein as a result of the express acknowledgment that the contents of said Articles are known to each Guarantor. Therefore, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and expressly waives its rights under the benefits of, Articles 2846 and 2847 of the Civil Code for the Federal District of Mexico. Each Guarantor also hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any requirement of judicial demand for payment, whether under Article 2848 or 2849 of the Civil Code for the Federal District of Mexico or otherwise. All such Articles are not reproduced herein as a result of the express acknowledgment of each Guarantor that the contents of said Articles are known to it. The Guarantee shall be discharged upon the payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes and all other costs provided for under this Indenture or as provided in Article Fourteen, and after such termination is not reinstated except as set forth in the second succeeding paragraph. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder, Trustee or the Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee for the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any guarantor of the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents.

116

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the Company or the Guarantors, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by the Company or the Guarantors to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantors agree that they shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations hereby until payment in full of all such obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantors agree that, as between themselves, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six hereof for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantee.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation, contribution, exoneration, indemnification or reimbursement in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations until payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full of the Notes and all other amounts payable under this Indenture and under each Guarantee upon the Stated Maturity of the Notes, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee to be credited and applied to the Notes and all other amounts payable under each Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, or to be held as security for any obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents or other amounts payable under any Guarantee thereafter arising.

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) subject to this Article Fourteen, the maturity of the Guarantee Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of each Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such Guarantee Obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall, forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of each Guarantee.

A Guarantor that makes a distribution or payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled to contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each such other Guarantor for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes and this Indenture or any other Guarantor with respect to its Guarantee, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Guarantees.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 14.01.

117

SECTION 14.02 LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article Fourteen shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Fourteen, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each such other Guarantor.

SECTION 14.03 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Article Fourteen shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 14.04 NO WAIVER. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article Fourteen shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article Fourteen, at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 14.05 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. To evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01 hereof, the Guarantors agree that a notation of the Guarantee substantially in the form included in Section 2.04 shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantors by an officer of the Guarantors.

The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee set forth in this Article Fourteen shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantees.

If an officer whose facsimile signature is on a Note or a notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

118

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

In the event that any Subsidiary subsequent to the date of this Indenture, is required to become a Guarantor by Section 5.23 hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Guarantees in accordance with Section 5.23 hereof and this Article Fourteen, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 14.06 GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS. No Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless (i) subject to the provisions of the following Section, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company will be entitled, from time to time, to request the Trustee to give notice to the applicable Collateral Agent directing such Collateral Agent to cause the release of all or a portion of the Collateral from the Collateral Pledge in accordance with the following terms hereof; provided, however, that (x) such request to the Trustee must be in writing and accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in English (which may be Mexican counsel to the Company) stating that such release is permitted by this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Document and (y) the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 15.03 are met. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable after such release pursuant to this Section 15.03 give notice thereof to Holders of the Notes in the manner provided under Section 1.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee will direct the Collateral Agent to execute, deliver and acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

(i) Releases in connection with Asset Dispositions and Qualifying Dispositions. In connection with an Asset Disposition or a Qualifying Disposition with respect to assets or securities that constitute Collateral, the Company may request the Trustee to direct the applicable Collateral Agent to release from the Collateral Pledge the assets or securities to be sold in such disposition; provided that (A) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, in

122

form and substance satisfactory to it and its counsel, the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 15.03(a) and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture and the Collateral Documents will be secured by a first priority security interest in the Net Cash Proceeds and the non-cash proceeds of such Asset Disposition or Qualifying Disposition, and (B) simultaneously with such release, the Company shall cause such Net Cash Proceeds to be paid in U.S. Dollars directly into the cash collateral account as set forth in the applicable Collateral Document under which the assets disposed of pursuant to such Asset Disposition or Qualifying Disposition were held and shall cause any non-cash proceeds to be delivered to the applicable Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents.

(ii) Releases of Net Cash Proceeds and VAT Cash Proceeds. In connection with any application of Net Cash Proceeds or VAT Cash Proceeds or any Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 5.18 following an Asset Disposition or a Qualifying Disposition, the Company may request the Trustee to direct the applicable Collateral Agent to release from the Collateral Pledge the Net Cash Proceeds or VAT Cash Proceeds, as the case may be; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to it and its counsel, the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 15.03(a).

(iii) Releases of Cash Held in Cash Collateral Account. Upon the cure of any Default or Event of Default as described in clause (i) of Section 15.01(g) and provided that no other Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash deposited in a collateral account pursuant to such clause (i) shall be delivered to the Company and the Lien thereon shall be released. In addition, to the extent that the Company makes an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 5.18 and the amount required to be paid pursuant to such Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the amount of cash in the collateral account, and provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all cash not applied pursuant to such Excess Proceeds Offer shall, immediately following the settlement of such Excess Proceeds Offer, be delivered to the Company and the Lien thereon shall be released. In connection with any release pursuant to this clause (iii), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to it and its counsel, the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by clause (a) of this Section 15.03.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Net Cash Proceeds resulting from a Qualifying Disposition shall be subject to any rights of the holders of the certificates under the Receivables Securitization Facility as provided in Section 5.18(b), provided the Net Cash Proceeds payable to such holders of certificates shall be the Investor Certificate Obligations (as defined in the TMM Multimodal Trust Agreement) with respect to all certificates at the time outstanding; provided, that for purposes hereof, the principal balance outstanding of such certificates shall not exceed $76,300,000.

123

(b) The release of any Collateral from the Collateral Pledge or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, or the termination of the Collateral Documents, will not be deemed to impair the Liens on the Collateral in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent that the Liens on Collateral are released, or the Collateral Documents are terminated, pursuant to this Section 15.03 and the applicable Collateral Documents. The Trustee and each of the Holders acknowledge that a release of Collateral or a Lien in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.03 and the Collateral Documents will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the Lien on the Collateral in contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company, the Guarantors and each other obligor on the Notes shall cause Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien hereof and of the Collateral Documents to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act may be made by an officer of the Company, except in cases which Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, in which case such independent Person shall be selected by the Company. In releasing any Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including the provisions of this Section 15.03, or any Collateral Document, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by this Section 15.03, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such release is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and that all conditions precedent, if any, to such release have been satisfied.

SECTION 15.04 REMEDIES UPON ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.03 (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), the Trustee shall deliver an appropriate Notice of Sale to the applicable Collateral Agent with a copy to the Company, in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof. Thereafter, the Trustee shall take specific action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, subject to the terms set forth herein and in accordance with applicable law. In the event that Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes fail, within 30 days of a request for direction by the Trustee, to direct the Trustee to take specific action hereunder or under the applicable Collateral Documents, the Trustee may retain an investment banker, broker/dealer, or other expert as the Trustee may determine, and subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the advice of such investment banker, broker/dealer or other expert shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee hereunder, or as agent of the applicable Collateral Agent under the applicable Collateral Documents, in good faith and in reliance thereon; provided that such investment banker, broker/dealer or other expert was selected by the Trustee with due care. Upon the receipt of any Notice of Sale, the Company shall promptly inform the Trustee whether any of the Collateral is subject to a right of first refusal or other similar restriction.

SECTION 15.05 FURTHER ASSURANCES AND SECURITY. The Company and the Guarantors will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, at the Company’s and/or such Guarantors’ expense, at any time and from time to time such further assignments, transfers, assurances or other instruments as may be reasonably required by the Trustee, to assure and confirm to the Trustee, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, the Liens in the

124

Collateral contemplated hereby and by the Collateral Documents, all to the extent contemplated hereby and by the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 15.06 OPINIONS AS TO RECORDING.

(a) Each of the Company and the Guarantors represents that it has caused or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, filed and recorded and covenants that it will promptly cause to be executed and delivered and filed and recorded, all instruments and documents, and represents that it has done and will do or will cause to be done all such acts and other things, at the Company’s or the Guarantors’ expense, as applicable, as are necessary to subject the applicable Collateral to valid Liens and to perfect those Liens to the extent contemplated hereby and by the Collateral Documents.

(b) The Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, Opinions of Counsel of United States and Mexican counsel either (i) stating that in the opinions of such counsel all action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering and filing of this Indenture, financing statements or other instruments or otherwise necessary to make effective the Liens intended to be created by the Collateral Documents and reciting the details of such action, or (ii) stating that, in the opinions of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such Lien effective. Such Opinion of Counsel may contain such qualifications, assumptions and limitations as are customary for such opinions.

(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent within three months after each anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, Opinions of Counsel of United States and Mexican counsel, dated as of such date, stating either that (i) in the opinions of such counsel, all action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording, and refiling of this Indenture and related financing statements, continuation statements and other instruments and documents as is necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the Liens intended to be created by the Collateral Documents and reciting the details of such action or (ii) in the opinions of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such Liens. Such Opinions of Counsel may contain such qualifications, assumptions and limitations as are customary for such opinions.

(d) The Company and the Guarantors shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 314(b) and, as applicable Sections 314(c), (d) and (e) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 15.07 LIMITATION ON DUTY OF TRUSTEE IN RESPECT OF THE COLLATERAL PLEDGE.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any property in the Collateral Pledge under the Collateral Documents in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in such property. The Trustee

125

shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of such property in its possession if the property is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of such property by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee with due care and in good faith.

(b) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any such property or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the property, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of such property or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company or any Guarantor to such property, for insuring such property or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon such property or otherwise as to the maintenance of such property. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents by the Company, any Guarantor or the applicable Collateral Agent.

(c) Except as set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Trustee shall have no duty to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Collateral or otherwise manage, monitor, supervise or insure the business to which the Collateral relate.

(d) Other than as contemplated hereunder, the Trustee shall have no duty to act outside of the United States in respect of any Collateral located in a jurisdiction other than the United States.

SECTION 15.08 AUTHORIZATION OF ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY COLLATERAL AGENT UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The Trustee, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors hereunder and under the Notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral Documents. The Trustee, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as such Person may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or of the Trustee).

SECTION 15.09 AUTHORIZATION OF RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. The Trustee, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed

126

under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 15.10 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS, NOT ASSUMPTION OF DUTIES. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Company and the Guarantors shall remain liable under each of the Collateral Documents to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Indenture had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Trustee or the Holders of any of their rights, remedies or powers hereunder shall not release the Company or the Guarantors from any of their duties or obligations under each of the Collateral Documents and (c) neither the Holders nor the Trustee shall have any obligation or liability under any of the Collateral Documents by reason of or arising out of this Indenture, nor shall the Holders or Trustee be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Company or the Guarantors thereunder or, except as expressly provided herein with respect to the Trustee, to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder or otherwise.

SECTION 15.11 NO ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Collateral Documents shall require the Trustee or any Collateral Agent to foreclose on any of the Collateral under any one of the Collateral Documents before foreclosing on any of the Collateral under any of the other Collateral Documents, all of which shall be in the sole discretion of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.
