The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning.

“Board of Directors” means:

(4) any other interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing Person, but excluding from all of the foregoing any debt securities convertible into Capital Stock, whether or not such debt securities include any right of participation with Capital Stock.

“Clearstream” means Clearstream Banking, S.A.

“Closing Sale Price” means, with respect to the Common Stock, on any date, the last reported per share sale price (or, if no last sale price is reported, the average of the last bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock then is listed, or if the Common Stock is not listed on a U.S. national or regional exchange, as reported on NASDAQ, or if the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ, as reported on the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then traded.

For purpose of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used with respect to any distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades, regular way, on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the closing price was obtained without the right to receive such distribution. The Company will make adjustments to the Current Market Price in accordance with this Indenture to account for the occurrence of certain events during the ten consecutive Trading Day period.

(a) General. The Debentures and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibits A1 and A2 hereto. The Debentures may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Debenture will be dated the date of its authentication. The Debentures shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Debentures will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Debenture conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Debentures. Debentures issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibits A1 or A2 hereto (including the Global Debenture Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Debenture” attached thereto). Debentures issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 hereto (but without the Global Debenture Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Debenture” attached thereto). Each Global Debenture will represent such of the outstanding Debentures as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Debenture to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c) Temporary Global Debentures. Debentures offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Debenture, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Debentures represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Houston, Texas office, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will be terminated upon the receipt by the Trustee of:

(1) a written certificate from the Depositary, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United States Beneficial Ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Debenture (except to the extent of any Beneficial Owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a Beneficial Ownership interest in a 000X Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx or an IAI Global Debenture bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof); and

(2) an Officers’ Certificate from the Company.

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Debenture will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Debenture pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Debenture, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Debenture. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Debenture and the Regulation S Permanent Global Debenture may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

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

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Debentures for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Debenture no longer holds that office at the time a Debenture is authenticated, the Debenture will nevertheless be valid.

A Debenture will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Debenture has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two Officers (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Debentures for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Debentures. The aggregate principal amount of Debentures outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Debentures authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Debentures. An authenticating agent may authenticate Debentures whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Debentures may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Debentures may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion pursuant to Article 13 hereof (“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Debentures and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will 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 Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Debentures.

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

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company will 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, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Debentures, 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) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 will serve as Paying Agent for the Debentures.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee will 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 TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will 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 Debentures and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Debentures. A Global Debenture may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Debenture to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (2)(A), (2)(B) or (3) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Debenture has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Debentures so transferred.

(3) Unrestricted Definitive Debentures to Unrestricted Definitive Debentures. A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Debentures may transfer such Debentures to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Debenture. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Debentures pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

Concurrently with the issuance of such Debentures, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Debentures to be reduced accordingly, and the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive Debentures so accepted Unrestricted Definitive Debentures in the appropriate principal amount.

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Debentures. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Debenture have been exchanged for Definitive Debentures or a particular Global Debenture has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Debenture will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Debenture is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Debenture or for Definitive Debentures, the principal amount of Debentures represented by such Global Debenture will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Debenture 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 Debenture, such other Global Debenture will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Debenture by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Debentures and Definitive Debentures upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Debenture or to a Holder of a Definitive Debenture for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09 and 9.05 hereof).

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Debenture selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debenture being redeemed in part.

(4) All Global Debentures and Definitive Debentures issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Debentures or Definitive Debentures will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Debentures or Definitive Debentures surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Debentures during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Debentures for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Debenture selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debenture being redeemed in part; or

(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Debenture between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

(6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Debenture, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Debenture is registered as the absolute owner of such Debenture for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Debentures and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Debentures and Definitive Debentures in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

Section 2.07 Replacement Debentures.

If any mutilated Debenture is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debenture, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Debenture if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Debenture is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Debenture.

Every replacement Debenture is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Debentures duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Debentures.

The Debentures outstanding at any time are all the Debentures authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Debenture effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Debenture does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Debenture.

If a Debenture is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Debenture is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Debenture is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Debentures payable on that date, then on and after that date such Debentures will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Debentures.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Debentures have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Debentures owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Debentures that the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Debentures.

Until certificates representing Debentures are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Debentures. Temporary Debentures will be substantially in the form of certificated Debentures but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Debentures and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Debentures in exchange for temporary Debentures.

Holders of temporary Debentures will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Debentures to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Debentures surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Debentures surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Debentures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Debentures will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Debentures to replace Debentures that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Debentures, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Debentures and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Debenture and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

If the Company elects to redeem Debentures pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

(1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(2) the redemption date;

(3) the principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed; and

(4) the redemption price.

Section 3.02 Selection of Debentures to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Debentures are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Debentures for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Debentures to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Debentures not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debentures selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Debenture selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Debentures and portions of Debentures selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Debentures of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Debentures held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debentures called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Debentures called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Debentures are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Debentures or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

The notice will identify the Debentures to be redeemed and will state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) if any Debenture is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Debenture to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Debenture;

(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(5) that Debentures called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Debentures called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7) the paragraph of the Debentures and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Debentures called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Debentures.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Debentures called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on all Debentures to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Debentures to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Debentures or the portions of Debentures called for redemption or purchase. If a Debenture is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Debenture was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Debenture called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Debentures and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06 Debentures Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Debenture that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Debenture equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Debenture surrendered.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) The Debentures will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to May 15, 2013.

(b) On or after May 15, 2013, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Debentures upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Debentures redeemed up to, but excluding, the redemption date, unless the redemption date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date. In that case, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, due on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(c) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08 Repurchase at Option of the Holder.

Debentures shall be purchased by the Company in cash pursuant to the terms of the Debentures at the option of the Holder on each of May 15, 2013, May 15, 2016, and May 15, 2021 (each a “Repurchase Date”), at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date; provided that if such Repurchase Date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, then the interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, payable on such interest payment date shall be paid to the Holders of record of the Debentures at the close of business on the applicable record date instead of the Holders surrendering the Debentures for repurchase. At least 20 Business Days prior any Repurchase Date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of such Repurchase Date to each Holder at its registered address.

Repurchases of Debentures under this Section 3.08 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(a) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a Holder of a duly completed and executed notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debenture during the period beginning at any time from the opening of business on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date until the close of business on the Repurchase Date; and

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.08, a portion of a Debenture, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Debenture also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Debenture.

Upon presentation of any Debenture repurchased in part only, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s written direction to the Trustee, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the Debentures presented that was not repurchased.

Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.08 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Business Day immediately following the Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debenture.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.08 shall have the right to withdraw such Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 3.09.

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

Section 3.09 Effect of a Repurchase Notice.

Upon receipt by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) of the Repurchase Notice specified in Section 3.08, the Holder of the Debenture in respect of which such Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Repurchase Notice is validly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the purchase price with respect to such Debenture. Such purchase price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds and/or Debentures by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), promptly following the later of (x) the Business Day immediately following the Repurchase Date with respect to such Debenture (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.08) and (y) the time of book entry transfer or delivery of such Debenture to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.08. Debentures in respect of which a Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 13 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Notice unless such Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn.

A Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with the Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date, specifying:

(a) the principal amount of the Debenture with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

(b) the certificate number, if any, of the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global Debenture, and

Section 3.10 Repurchase at Option of Holder Upon a Designated Event.

(a) If there shall occur a Designated Event at any time prior to maturity of the Debentures, then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Debentures, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for cash on a date designated by the Company (the “Designated Event Repurchase Date”) that is not less than twenty (20) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of the Designated Event Notice (as defined in Section 3.10(b)) for such Designated Event at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to, but excluding, the Designated Event Repurchase Date; provided that if such Designated Event Repurchase Date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, then the interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, payable on such interest payment date shall be paid to the Holders of record of the Debentures at the close of business on the applicable record date instead of the Holders surrendering the Debentures for repurchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Debentures may be surrendered for repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.10 in connection with a merger, consolidation or other transaction effected solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to any other state within the United States.

(b) On or before the 10th day after the occurrence of a Designated Event, the Company, or at its written request (which must be received by the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree in writing to a shorter period), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed to all Holders of record on the date of the Designated Event a notice (the “Designated Event Notice”) of the occurrence of such Designated Event and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. If the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall also deliver a copy of the Designated Event Notice to the Trustee at such time as it is mailed to Holders.

Each Designated Event Notice shall specify the circumstances constituting the Designated Event, the Designated Event Repurchase Date, the price at which the Company shall be obligated to repurchase Debentures, that the Holder must exercise the repurchase right on or prior to the close of business on the Designated Event Repurchase Date (the “Designated Event Expiration Time”), that the Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Debentures surrendered prior to the Designated Event Expiration Time, if the Debentures are then convertible, that Debentures as to which an Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event (hereafter defined) has been given may be converted only if the Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, a description of the procedure that a Holder must follow to exercise such repurchase right and to withdraw any surrendered Debentures, the place or places where the Holder is to surrender such Holder’s Debentures, the amount of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued and unpaid on each Debenture to the Designated Event Repurchase Date and the CUSIP number or numbers of the Debentures (if then generally in use).

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.10.

(i) delivery to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a Holder of a duly completed and executed notice (the “Option to Elect Repurchase upon a Designated Event”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debenture prior to the Designated Event Expiration Time; and

(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Debentures to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time simultaneous to or after delivery of the Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in Houston, Texas as provided in Section 3.08, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the repurchase price therefor; provided that such repurchase price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.10 only if the Debenture so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event.

The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.10, a portion of a Debenture, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Debenture also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Debenture.

delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the Debentures presented that was not repurchased.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event contemplated by this Section 3.10 shall have the right to withdraw such Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event at any time prior to the Designated Event Expiration Time by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 3.10(d) below. Debentures in respect of which an Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 13 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event unless such Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event has first been validly withdrawn.

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

For a Debenture, other than a Global Debenture, to be so repurchased at the option of the Holder, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose or, at the option of such Holder, the Corporate Trust Office, such Debenture with the Option to Elect Repurchase Upon A Designated Event on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with such Debentures duly endorsed for transfer, on or before the Designated Event Expiration Time. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Debenture for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

(d) An Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with the Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event at any time prior to the Designated Event Expiration Time, specifying:

(i) the principal amount of the Debenture with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

(ii) the certificate number, if any, of the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global Debenture, and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Debenture that remains subject to the original Option to Elect Repurchase Upon a Designated Event.

(e) The Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase on the Business Day immediately preceding the Designated Event Repurchase Date all the Debentures to be repurchased on such date at the appropriate repurchase price, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to, but excluding, the Designated Event Repurchase Date; provided that if such payment is made on the Designated Event Repurchase Date it must be received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on such date. Payment for Debentures surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Designated Event Expiration Time will be made promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) following the later of (x) the Business Day immediately

following the Designated Event Repurchase Date, and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debenture surrendered for repurchase, by (i) mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Debentures entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Debenture Register or (ii) on any Global Debenture by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

If on the Business Day immediately following the Designated Event Repurchase Date the Trustee or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or the Company if the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, holds money sufficient to repurchase all the Debentures or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Designated Event Repurchase Date, then, on and after such date (i) the Debentures will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Debentures will cease to accrue, and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Debentures will terminate, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Debentures has been made or the Debentures have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, other than the right to receive the repurchase price upon delivery of the Debentures.

(f) The Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent applicable and file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule or form under the Exchange Act to the extent then applicable in connection with the repurchase rights of the Holders of Debentures in the event of a Designated Event.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Debentures 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 will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes.

(c) So long as any of the Debentures are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.08 No Layering of Debt.

The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Debentures;

(2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Debentures;

(3) default in the Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock, cash or other property upon conversion of the Debentures as required under this Indenture and such default continues for a period of five (5) days;

(6) failure by the Company or any of the Guarantors for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of

the Debentures then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture;

(7) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default:

(a)

is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

(b)

results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $15.0 million or more;

(8) failure by the Company or any of the Guarantors to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $15.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(10) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in this Indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (10) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Debentures will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures may declare all the Debentures to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Debentures shall become due and payable immediately.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default occurs prior to May 15, 2013 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on

redemption of the Debentures prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the Debentures, an additional premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, in an amount equal to the present value at the date of the Event of Default of all required interest payments due on the Debentures through May 15, 2013 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of the Event of Default) computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of the date of the Event of Default plus 50 basis points.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on the Debentures or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Debentures or this Indenture.

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Debentures waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, the Debentures (including in connection with an offer to purchase).

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Debentures or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Debentures only if:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Debentures to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and the Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Debentures and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

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

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this

Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

(e) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

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

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

(f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have furnished to

the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Debentures, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Debentures or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Debentures or any other document in connection with the sale of the Debentures or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Debentures a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, any Debenture, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Debentures.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Debentures.

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Debentures remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Debentures a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Debentures will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Debentures are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Debentures are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(d) To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Debentures on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Debentures. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

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

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

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

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Debentures upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Debentures (including the Debenture Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Debentures (including the Debenture Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Debentures, the Debenture Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Debentures to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, such Debentures when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Debentures under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

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

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04 (other than Section 4.04(a)), 4.07, 4.08, 4.09 and 4.10 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Debentures on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Debentures will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Debentures will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that,

with respect to the outstanding Debentures and Debenture Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Debentures and Debenture Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Debentures on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Debentures are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Debentures will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Debentures will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,

or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

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

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

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Debentures will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Debentures and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Debentures of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Debentures.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, any Debenture and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debenture will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon

cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. Any money held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8,06 shall be held uninvested and without liability for interest.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Debentures and the Debenture Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, any Debenture following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Debentures to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Debentures.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Debentures or the Debenture Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of Debenture:

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

(2) to provide for uncertificated Debentures in addition to or in place of certificated Debentures;

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Debentures and Debenture Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Debentures or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Debentures or the Debenture Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Debentures” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated May 9, 2006, relating to the initial offering of the Debentures, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Debentures” was intended to be a

verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Debenture Guarantees or the Debentures;

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Debentures in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; or

(8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Debenture Guarantee with respect to the Debentures.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Debentures.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Debentures and the Debenture Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures (including, without limitation, Additional Debentures, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Debentures), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, the Debentures, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Debentures or the Debenture Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures (including, without limitation, Additional Debentures, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Debentures). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Debentures are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Debentures affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental

indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Debentures or the Debenture Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Debentures held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Debenture or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Debentures;

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Debenture;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, the Debentures (except a rescission of acceleration of the Debentures by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any Debenture payable in money other than that stated in the Debentures;

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

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Debenture;

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Debenture Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(9) reduce the amount of the make whole premium or otherwise impair the right of a Holder to receive the make whole premium due on any Debenture;

(10) adversely change the Company’s obligation to repurchase any Debenture upon a Designated Event;

(11) impair the right of a Holder to convert any Debenture or reduce the amount of cash, the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of any other property receivable upon conversion;

(12) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the repurchase price (upon a repurchase at the option of a Holder or a repurchase upon a Designated Event);

(13) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the make whole premium when due; or

(14) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Debentures will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Debentures.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Debenture thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Debentures may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Debentures that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Debenture will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

ARTICLE 10

DEBENTURE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Debenture authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Debentures or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on, the Debentures will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Debentures, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the

Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

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

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

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debentures or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Debentures with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery 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 a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Debenture Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Debentures and this Indenture.

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

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

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Debentures, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Debenture 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 or state law to the extent applicable to any Debenture Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that 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 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Debenture Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Debenture Guarantee.

To evidence its Debenture Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Debenture Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Debenture authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Debenture Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debenture a notation of such Debenture Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Debenture Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Debenture on which a Debenture Guarantee is endorsed, the Debenture Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

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

In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.10 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

(2) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Debenture Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

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

Debenture Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Debenture Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Debentures will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05. Releases.

(a) In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Debenture Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Debenture Guarantee.

(b) Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Debenture Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Debenture Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Debentures and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Debentures issued hereunder, when:

(1) either:

(a) all Debentures that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Debentures that have been replaced or paid and Debentures for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all Debentures that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of

the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Debentures not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Debentures at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Debentures and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof 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 and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Debentures shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, any Debentures because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Debentures to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 13

CONVERSION

Section 13.01 Conversion Right and Conversion Rate.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 13, at the option of the Holder thereof, any portion of the principal amount of any Debenture that is an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. The Holders of the Debentures may surrender Debentures for conversion at the applicable Conversion Rate at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Debentures.

(b) All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

Section 13.02 Conversion Consideration.

(a) Upon surrendering any Debentures for conversion, the Holder of such Debentures shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures: shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of 60.241 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures (the “Conversion Rate”), which is based on an initial conversion price of approximately $16.60 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Rate (and Conversion Price) are subject to adjustment described below.

If a Holder receives Common Stock upon conversion of Debentures, such Holder will also receive the associated rights under any stockholder rights plan that the Company may adopt, whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been exchanged.

Section 13.03 Exercise of Conversion Right.

(a) In order to exercise the conversion right:

(1) the Holder of any Definitive Debenture to be converted must: (i) complete and manually sign a notice of conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Conversion Notice”); (ii) deliver the Conversion Notice and the Definitive Debenture (and the Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer (defined below), if applicable) to the Conversion Agent and the Company; and (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; or

(2) the holder of beneficial interests in any Global Debenture to be converted must comply with the Applicable Procedures to cause the beneficial interests in such Global Debenture to be delivered to the Conversion Agent,

and in either case, the Holder of a Definitive Debenture or holder of beneficial interests in a Global Debenture will, if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes and, if required pursuant to Section 13.03(b) hereof, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next interest payment date.

The date on which a Holder of a Definitive Debenture or holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Debenture completes the requirements of this Section 13.03(a) shall be deemed to be the date of

conversion (the “Conversion Date”) for purposes of this Article 13. On and after the Conversion Date, the conversion by such Holder or holder, as set forth in the Conversion Notice, shall become irrevocable.

(b) Debentures shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Debentures as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock, payable and issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the payee or payees of such payment and the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. Following any Conversion Date, the Company shall satisfy its obligations with respect to such conversion by either:

(1) delivering to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder (or such other Person as may be named in the relevant Conversion Notice), the cash payment, together with certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock, payable and issuable upon such conversion; or

(2) delivering to such Holder (or such other Person as may be named in the relevant Conversion Notice) the cash payment, together with such number of shares of Common Stock, payable and issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures,

in each case, together with payment in lieu of any fractional shares, if any, as provided in Section 13.04 (such cash payment and delivery of shares, if any, the “Settlement”); provided that shares of Common Stock only will be deliverable in certificated form if (i) the Holder or holder that is exercising such conversion has specifically requested in writing that delivery be in certificates or (ii) the Company determines that delivery is required in certificated shares either because (A) delivery to the Holder (or such other Person named in the relevant Conversion Notice) is not practicable in accordance with the Applicable Procedures or (B) in the opinion of legal counsel, delivery is required in certificated form in order to comply with the requirements of applicable securities laws. Settlement shall occur promptly.

(c) In the case of any Debenture which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Debenture. A Debenture may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such Debenture to be converted is any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 and the principal amount of such security to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(d) If shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Debenture, or Debentures to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Debenture in part only, are to be registered in a name other than that of the Beneficial Owner of such Restricted Debenture, then such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a certificate of conversion and restricted transfer in form and substance set forth in Exhibit G hereto (the “Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer”), dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Debenture and signed by such Beneficial Owner, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Debenture. The Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer shall be required in addition to the Conversion Notice. None of the Trustee, any Conversion Agent, Registrar or transfer agent shall be required to register shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or any unconverted Debentures in the name of any Person other than that of the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the converted Restricted Debenture unless such Holder or Beneficial Owner has delivered a properly completed Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer.

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of Restricted Debentures shall bear restrictive legends substantially in the form of the legends required to be set forth on the Restricted

Debentures pursuant to Section 2.06(f) hereof and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in such legends. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility for the inclusion or content of any such restrictive legends on such Common Stock.

Section 13.04 Fractions of Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. The number of fractional shares to be paid, if any, will be determined by the Closing Sale Price on the applicable Trading Day. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment for the fractional amount (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) based upon the applicable Conversion Price.

Section 13.05 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Stock Dividends in Common Stock. In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock payable exclusively in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this clause (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(2) Issuance of Rights or Warrants. In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of the rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants (other than any rights, options or warrants that (x) by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Debenture into shares of Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other Person or (y) are distributed to shareholders of the Company upon a merger or consolidation in compliance with Section 13.09 hereof), then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(A) numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such rights, options or warrants are not in fact issued, or are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date such rights, options or warrants expire, or the date the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if the unexercised rights, options or warrants had never been granted or such determination date had not been fixed, as the case may be and as a result no additional shares are delivered or issued pursuant to such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this clause (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(3) Stock Splits and Combinations. (i) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased; (ii) in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced and (iii) in case the Company issues any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately applied to the new class of shares of Capital Stock of the Company into which the Common Stock was reclassified; in each case, such increase, reduction or reclassification, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective.

(4) Distribution of Indebtedness, Securities or Assets. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, securities, assets or certain rights to purchase the Company’s securities (provided, that if these rights are only exercisable upon the occurrence of specified triggering events, then the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted until the triggering events occur), but excluding (i) any dividends or distributions referred to in clause (1) of this Section 13.05(a), (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in clause (2) of this Section 13.05(a), (iii) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in clause (5) of this Section 13.05(a) (the “Distributed Assets”), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of

business on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination in good faith shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee, of the portion of those Distributed Assets applicable to one share of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

If after any such date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date of the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where (i) the Fair Market Value per share of the Distributed Assets equals or exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock, or (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock exceeds the Fair Market Value per share of the Distributed Assets by less than $1.00, in lieu of the adjustment set forth in this Section 13.05(a)(4), Holders will have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, the amount and type of Distributed Assets such Holders would have received upon conversion of such Holders’ Debentures if they had been converted immediately prior to the record date.

(5) Cash Distributions. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock distributions consisting exclusively of cash, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such date fixed for determination less the amount per share of such distribution, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where (i) the per share amount of such distribution equals or exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock, or (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock exceeds the per share amount of such distribution by less than $1.00, in lieu of the adjustment set forth in this Section 13.05(a)(5), Holders will have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, such distribution such Holders would have received upon conversion of such Holders’ Debentures if they had been converted immediately prior to the record date.

(6) Tender or Exchange Offers. In case the Company or any Subsidiary shall make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for any portion of the Common Stock, in which event, to the extent the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), as the case may be, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate immediately prior to close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (a) the Fair Market Value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, of the aggregate consideration payable for all shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company in the tender or exchange offer and (b) the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding less any such purchased shares and (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including any such purchased shares and (b) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the second Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

(b) No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required:

(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (2) of this Section 13.05(b) and outstanding as of the date the Debentures were first issued;

(4) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(5) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(c) Increase in Conversion Rate due to Taxes. The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Debentures or any shorter term, in addition to those required by clause (a) of this Section 13.05, as the Board of Directors of the Company considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this clause (d) and its actions in so doing shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive.

(d) Temporary Increase in Conversion Rate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if

the period is at least twenty (20) days, the increase is irrevocable during such period, and the Company’s Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that no such increase shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 105% of the Conversion Price in connection with an event which would otherwise be a Fundamental Change. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the increase to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 12.02, with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(e) Fundamental Change Make-Whole Adjustment. In case of a transaction described in clause (3) of the definition of Fundamental Change, solely upon receipt by the Conversion Agent of any Holder’s Conversion Notice on or subsequent to the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change and prior to the 45^th day following such Effective Date (or, if earlier and to the extent applicable, the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as specified in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice)), the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Debentures surrendered for conversion by such Holder by the number of Additional Shares determined in accordance with this Section 13.05(e).

The following table sets forth the increase in the Conversion Rate, expressed as a number of Additional Shares issuable per $1,000 initial principal amount of Debentures as a result of a transaction described in clause (3) of the definition Fundamental Change that occurs in the corresponding period:

The Stock Prices and Additional Share amounts set forth above are based upon a Closing Sale Price of $13.28 on May 9, 2006 and an initial Conversion Price of $16.60. The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Debentures is adjusted in accordance with Section 13.05 hereof. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares shall be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 13.05 hereof.

The exact Stock Price and Conversion Dates may not be set forth on the table; in which case, if the Stock Price is:

(A) between two Stock Price amounts on the table or the Conversion Date is between two dates on the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the

higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(B) more than $53.12 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Debenture exceed 75.770 per $1,000 initial principal amount of the Debentures, after giving effect to the make whole adjustment and any related increase in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 13.05(e), subject to anti-dilution adjustments set forth in Section 13.05(a) hereof.

The Company shall give notice (an “Effective Date Notice”) to all Holders and to the Trustee at least ten days prior to the anticipated effective date of any transaction described in clause (3) of the definition of a Fundamental Change, as limited by the paragraph following the definition of a Fundamental Change.

Holders converting Debentures in connection with the Designated Event that is the subject of an Effective Date Notice will not receive payment on the Debentures they surrender for conversion in connection with such Designated Event until the applicable Stock Price has been determined. If Holders convert their Debentures following the effective date of such Designated Event, then the Holders’ rights to convert Debentures into shares of Common Stock will be changed into the right to convert Debentures into the kind and amount of such cash, securities or other property that the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted its Debentures immediately prior to such Designated Event.

Notwithstanding delivery of the Effective Date Notice by us as described above, no make whole premium will be payable if the related Designated Event does not occur.

(f) Public Acquirer Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.05, in the case of a Public Acquirer Change of Control, the Company may, in lieu of adjusting the Conversion Rate as described in Section 13.05(e) hereof, elect to adjust the Conversion Rate and the related conversion obligation such that from and after the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, Holders of the Debentures will be entitled to convert their Debentures into a number of shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock by adjusting the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Public Acquirer Change of Control by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which will be the average of the Acquisition Value of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, and

(B) the denominator of which will be the average of the last reported sale prices of the Public Acquirer Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control.

If the Company elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and conversion obligation as described in this Section 13.05(f), the Company shall send a Designated Event Notice to the Holders of Debentures at least 10 Trading Days prior to the expected Effective Date of the Fundamental Change that is also a Public Acquirer Change of Control, in accordance with Section 3.10 hereof. If the Company elects to

adjust the Conversion Rate and conversion obligation in connection with a Public Acquirer Change of Control, Holder of the Debentures shall not have the right to receive Additional Shares pursuant to Section 13.05(e) or to require the Company to repurchase such Debentures in connection with the Fundamental Change that is also a Public Acquirer Change of Control.

Section 13.06 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05 hereof:

(a) The Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 13.05 hereof and shall prepare an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the adjusted Conversion Rate, (2) the clause of Section 13.05 pursuant to which such adjustment has been made, showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, (3) the calculation of such adjustment and (4) the date as of which such adjustment is effective, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and

(b) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 12.02. Moreover, upon any determination by the Company, the Conversion Agent or the Trustee that Holders of the Debentures are or will be entitled to convert the Debentures in accordance with Section 13.01, the Company will issue a press release and publish the information on its website.

Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Debentures desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours.

Section 13.07 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

In case the Company shall:

(a) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock certain rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 days of the declaration date for such distribution, Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock; or

(b) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or certain rights or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day preceding the declaration date for such distribution;

then the Company shall deliver written notice to the Conversion Agent, and shall deliver or cause its Agents to deliver, to all Holders in accordance with Section 12.02, at least 10 days prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution, a notice of such distribution. At such time notice is given pursuant to this Section 13.07, Holders of Debentures that are not otherwise convertible at that time may surrender their Debentures for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day prior to the ex-dividend date or (2) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. Holders of Debentures may not exercise this right of conversion if they participate in the distribution without conversion.

At any time that the Trustee is not also the Conversion Agent, the Company shall forthwith deliver a copy of any notice required pursuant to this Section 13.07 to the Trustee.

Section 13.08 Cancellation of Converted Debentures.

All Definitive Debentures delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.11. Upon conversions of beneficial interests in any Global Debenture, the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debentures represented by such Global Debenture to reflect the conversion pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

Section 13.09 Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

Subject to the Section 13.05(f) hereof, in the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and the Holders at least ten days prior to the record date for such transaction, or if there is no record date, at least ten Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date for such transaction. Following such effective date, the Holders shall have the right thereafter to convert such Debenture only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Debenture might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale or transfer. In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, then from and after the effective date of such transaction, the Debentures shall be convertible into the consideration that a majority of the holders of Common Stock who made such an election received in such transaction. The Company will notify holders and the Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date we publicly announce such transaction but in no event less than 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. The above provisions of this Section 13.09 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Debenture as provided in Section 12.02 promptly upon such execution.

Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Debentures upon the conversion of their Debentures after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee upon request.

Section 13.10 Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

(1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock;

(2) are not exercisable; and

(3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock,

shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of Section 13.05(a)(2) or (4) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 13.05(a)(2) or (4), (A) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (B) in the case of any such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred.

Section 13.11 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions.

(a) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and any Conversion Agent, subject shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Debentures to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debenture; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, nor shall any Conversion Agent be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article 13.

EXHIBIT H

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of ________________, 200__, among __________________ (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Broadwing Corporation (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and X.X. Xxxxxx Trust Company, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 16, 2006 providing for the issuance of 3.125% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026 (the “Debentures”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Debentures and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Debenture Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debentures as follows:

1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Debenture Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof.

4. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Debentures, any Debenture Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Debentures by accepting a Debenture waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Debentures. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

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

6. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

H-1

7. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

8. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Company.

H-2

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
