The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibit A, and the Exchange Notice and Assignment shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Attachments 1 and 2 to the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, 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 Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Payment at Maturity. The Notes shall mature on June 15, 2017, unless earlier exchanged or redeemed in accordance with the provisions hereof. On the Maturity Date, each Holder shall be entitled to receive the Accreted Principal Amount of its Notes as of the Maturity Date, including any accrued and non-capitalized interest to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. With respect to Global Notes, principal and interest shall be paid to the Depositary in immediately available funds. With respect to Definitive Notes, principal and interest shall be payable at the Issuer’ office or agency in New York City, which initially will be the Corporate Trust Office.

(c) Interest. Interest on the Notes shall accrue on the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes at the rate of 8.00% per annum from the Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Accrual Date, and will compound on a semi-annual basis on each June 15 and December 15 of each year, whether or not any such date is a Business Day (each, an “Interest Accrual Date”), commencing on December 15, 2011. In addition, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes at the rate and during the periods as provided in Section 2.04 of the Registration Rights Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Issuer shall not pay interest (including Additional Interest, if any) in cash on any Interest Accrual Date, but instead the Accreted Principal Amount shall be increased as of such Interest Accrual Date by the Accretion Amount for such Interest Accrual Date. However, if a Redemption Date occurs (i) on a day that is not an Interest Accrual Date, the Issuer shall pay the interest (including Additional Interest, if any) accrued on the Notes from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Date to, but excluding, such Redemption Date in cash, or (ii) on a day that is an Interest Accrual Date, the Issuer shall pay the Accretion Amount for such Interest Accrual Date in cash. Interest (including Additional Interest, if any) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the Initial Principal Amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate Initial Principal Amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate

Initial Principal Amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall 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 2.04 and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver: (i) on the Issue Date, an aggregate Initial Principal Amount of $88,490,000 Initial Notes and (ii) Additional Notes, if any, for an original issue in an aggregate Initial Principal Amount specified in an Authentication Order pursuant to this Section 2.02 and in accordance with Section 2.12, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”). Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Notes is to be authenticated.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.

An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or shares of Common Stock, or a particular Global Note has been redeemed or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.09. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the Initial Principal Amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer 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 2.08, 3.06, 3.08, 4.10 and 9.06).

(iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (A) any Notes surrendered for exchange or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for exchange, such portion thereof surrendered for exchange, or (B) any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

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

(v) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the

Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vi) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.04 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be under any obligation or duty to determine or inquire as to compliance with the Securities Act (including any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder) or any state securities laws that may be applicable in connection with or with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Note) or to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction on transfer imposed under this Indenture with respect to transfers of interests in any security (including any transfers between or among Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Notes); except that the Trustee shall be under a duty to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation, if any, as are expressly required in the applicable circumstance, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance on their face with the express requirements hereof. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for (A) the actions or omissions of the Depositary, or for the accuracy of the books or records of the Depositary and (B) transfers, of which it has no knowledge, between or among Beneficial Owners of interests in the same Global Note.

Section 2.05. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.06. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.06 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.07, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.05, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the Accreted Principal Amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date , money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.07. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required Initial Principal Amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.08. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes (“Temporary Notes”). Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for Temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for Temporary Notes.

Holders of Temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.09. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all canceled Notes shall be

delivered to the Issuer upon its request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.09.

Section 2.10. [Reserved].

Section 2.11. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and corresponding ISIN numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or other rights hereunder will not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.12. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer will be entitled, from time to time, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, without consent of the Holders, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture with identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date other than with respect to (a) the date of issuance, (b) the issue price, (c) the amount of interest to be accrued on the first Interest Accrual Date and (d) any adjustments in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).

The Notes and the Additional Notes, if any, shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments and redemptions; provided that if any Additional Notes subsequently issued are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes or securities law purposes with any Notes previously issued, such Additional Notes shall trade separately from such previously issued Notes under a separate CUSIP number but shall otherwise be treated as a single class with all other Notes issued under this Indenture.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer will set forth in an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(i) the aggregate Initial Principal Amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(ii) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; and

(iii) whether such Additional Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions.

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

(b) the Redemption Date;

(d) the Redemption Price.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis except:

(a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

(b) if otherwise required by law.

In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the Initial Principal Amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount or integral multiples of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP Number(s)) and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price;

(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the Initial Principal Amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in Initial Principal Amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Initial Principal Amount shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(h) 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 Notes.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter period as to which the Trustee may agree), an Officer’s 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, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the relevant Redemption Date at the relevant Redemption Price, unless previously exchanged for shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article 10. A notice of redemption may be conditional.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On the relevant Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money

sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and non-capitalized interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in Initial Principal Amount to the unredeemed portion of the Initial Principal Amount of the Note surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in denominations of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount in excess thereof.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. The Issuer may not redeem the Notes prior to June 15, 2014. On or after June 15, 2014 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the Redemption Price set forth below in the table below (expressed as a percentage of the Accreted Principal Amount and based on the period during which the relevant Redemption Date occurs), plus accrued and non-capitalized interest on the Notes to be redeemed, including any Additional Interest, to, but excluding, the relevant Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).

Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds on the due date money deposited by or on behalf of the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including postpetition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”), surrendered for exchange pursuant to Article 10 (the “Exchange Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Issuer 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 Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture and shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its

obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require in writing a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it in trust to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require in writing a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it in trust to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

(i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, if the Issuer was required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the Issuer’s consolidated financial condition and results of operation and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Issuer’s independent registered public accountants but not any assessment, attestation or audit of internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and

(ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer was required to file such reports.

(b) The Issuer may satisfy its obligation to furnish such information to the Trustee and Cede & Co. at any time by filing such information with the SEC. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept such filings for any reason, the Issuer shall post the reports specified in Section 4.04(a) on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Issuer were required to file those reports with the SEC.

(c) The Issuer agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange thereof shall constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall promptly furnish to the Trustee and to any Beneficial Owner of Notes or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exchange of such Notes or to any prospective purchaser of Notes or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exchange of such Notes in connection with any sale thereof, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The Issuer shall take such further action as any Holder or Beneficial Owner of such Notes or such Common Stock may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder or Beneficial Owner to sell such Notes or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

(d) If at any time Holdings (or any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer) holds no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Issuer or any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer (and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership) and complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to the Trustee and Cede & Co. or filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 4.04 may, at the option of the Issuer, be those of Holdings (or such other parent company) rather than the Issuer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (i) by the filing with the SEC of the Shelf Registration Statement (or any other similar registration statement), and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X, to the extent filed within the times specified above, or (ii) by posting reports that would be required to be filed substantially in the form required by the SEC (subject to the limitations set forth above) on the Issuer’s website (or that of any of its parent companies) or providing such reports to the Trustee within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the financial information (including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”) that would be required to be included in such reports, to the extent filed within the times specified above.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of Section 6.01(d) until 90 days after the date any report hereunder is due.

(f) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 4.05. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07. Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer); provided that the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not constitute a Restricted Payment;

(ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer) any Equity Interests of the Issuer, Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;

(iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except (A) a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof or (B) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any such subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or payment at final maturity, in each case within one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement; or

(iv) make any Restricted Investment;

(A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(B) the Issuer would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) of this Indenture; and

(C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i), (x), (xi) and (xiv) of Section 4.07(b) but excluding all other clauses of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

Section 4.10. Asset Sales. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

(ii) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary has complied with the provision of the Senior Secured Indenture and the Senior Secured Security Documents; and

(iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this paragraph (iii), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(A) Cash Equivalents;

(B) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

(C) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of receipt, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(D) (1) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the sale or contribution of assets by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to a joint venture with a Strategic Investor; provided, however, that in the event such Designated Noncash Consideration is an Investment (other than in the form of Indebtedness), such Designated Noncash Consideration shall be deemed to have been acquired and consequently reduce amounts available under clause (15) or (17) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer and (2) any Designated Noncash Consideration the Fair Market Value of which, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (2) (and not subsequently converted into Cash Equivalents that are treated as Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale), does not exceed the greater of $20.0 million and 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of receipt since the Issue Date, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and

(E) any assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, any Investments pursuant to clause (15) or (17) of the definition of “Permitted Investments” or any Additional Assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% requirement referred to in clause (2) above shall not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalent portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% requirement.

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):

(ii) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(xi) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of their obligations, if any, or obligations of Holdings under the terms of, any subscription, registration rights or stockholders agreement, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or similar agreement to which Holdings, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary, Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the entering into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date will only be permitted by this clause (xi) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement, taken as a whole, are not materially disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Issuer;

(xii) the Transactions, including all payments made or to be made in connection with the Transactions as described in the Senior Secured Offering Memorandum;

Section 4.12. Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind, on or with respect to the Collateral except Permitted Collateral Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets (other than with respect to property or assets constituting Collateral), now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Section 4.13. Restriction on Optional Repurchase of the Notes and the 2015 Notes. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any optional repurchase, redemption or other optional acquisition or retirement for value (each an “Optional Repurchase”) of the Notes or the 2015 Notes, as applicable; provided, however, that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make an Optional Repurchase of the Notes or the 2015 Notes so long as after giving effect to such Optional Repurchase the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be equal to or less than 4.5 to 1.0 for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of such Optional Repurchase; provided, further, that for the purposes of determining compliance with this covenant only, the amount of Consolidated Total Indebtedness used to calculate the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio will not subtract the aggregate amount of cash and Cash Equivalents of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

(b) The preceding Section 4.13(a) shall not prohibit:

(i) the Optional Repurchase of the Notes or the 2015 Notes made in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, a substantially concurrent sale of, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; or

(ii) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any Notes or 2015 Notes purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or payment at final maturity, in each case within one year of the maturity of the Notes or the 2015 Notes, as applicable.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.13 shall prohibit the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of value of the Notes or the 2015 Notes as required by the terms of such notes, including any repurchase required upon an asset sale or change of control as defined in this Indenture or the indenture governing the 2015 Notes, as applicable.

Section 4.14. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 5, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence in accordance with its organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time).

Section 4.15. [Reserved].

Section 4.16. No Layering of Debt. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or of such Guarantors, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantors, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantors, as the case may be.

For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantors solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a junior priority Lien or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section

4.09, the Issuer shall be in Default of Section 4.09. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (a) such Indebtedness and Liens are permitted under Sections 4.09 and 4.12 and (b) such designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default.

Section 4.18. Payments for Consent. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.19. Additional Note Guarantees. If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, acquires or creates another Subsidiary, other than a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, after the Issue Date that guarantees Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, the Senior Secured Notes, the 2015 Notes or any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or another Guarantor or if any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to be a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, then that newly acquired or created Subsidiary or existing Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created.

Section 4.20. Distributions by Qualified Restricted Subsidiaries. Except to the extent restricted pursuant to any Permitted Payment Restrictions, the Issuer shall, and shall cause each Qualified Restricted Subsidiary to declare and pay regular monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual dividends or distributions to the holders of its Capital Stock in an amount equal to substantially all of the available cash flow of such Restricted Subsidiary for such period as determined in good faith by the board of directors, board of governors or such other individuals performing similar functions, subject to fiduciary duties applicable to such board or individual and such ordinary and customary reserves and other amounts as, in the good faith judgment of such individuals, may be necessary so that the business of such Restricted Subsidiary may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times, including amounts necessary for operations, capital expenditures, debt service and other needs.

If, at any time, any Restricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements set forth in the definition of “Qualified Restricted Subsidiary,” it will thereafter cease to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred

by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Issuer will be in Default of Section 4.09. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary not to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by such Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (a) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 and (b) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. In the event (x) a Restricted Subsidiary fails to meet the requirements to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary or (y) the Board of Directors designates a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary not to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary, then all Investments in such Subsidiary since the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been acquired and consequently reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or the amount available for Restricted Investments under clause (15) or (17) of the definition of “Permitted Investments” as determined by the Issuer. As of the Issue Date, all of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries are Qualified Restricted Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default. Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(a) default in the payment when due (at the Maturity Date, upon redemption, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, or any accrued and non-capitalized interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes;

(b) failure to deliver, within the period specified in Section 10.02, shares of Common Stock and any other securities or property, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares, due upon exchange of the Notes;

(d) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with any of the other agreements or covenants in this Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement;

(e) 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 Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

(i) is caused by a failure to pay principal at the final Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; and, in each case, the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) 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;

(f) with respect to any judgment or decree for the payment of money (net of any amount covered by insurance issued by a reputable and creditworthy insurer that has not contested coverage or reserved rights with respect to an underlying claim) in excess of $15.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, the failure by the Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary, as applicable, to pay such judgment or decree, which judgment or decree has remained outstanding for a period of 60 days after such judgment or decree became final and nonappealable without being paid, discharged, waived or stayed;

(g) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary is declared to be unenforceable or invalid by any final and nonappealable judgment or decree or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations in writing under its Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after notice thereof is delivered to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class;

(h) the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (h) or (i) Section 6.01 with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall 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 Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (e) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:

(i) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

(ii) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

(iii) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of

Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes, or the delivery or payment of any consideration due upon exchange of the Notes.

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 Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note 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 a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default resulting from (a) the payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with a redemption), (b) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon exchange of the Notes pursuant to Article 10 or (c) failure to comply with any other covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively.

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

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment or principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, or the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon exchange of Notes pursuant to Article 10, when due, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

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

(5) Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a redemption), or the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon exchange of Notes pursuant to Article 10, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

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

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any

judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee may participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable.

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, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in 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:

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) 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, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

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

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

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 7.01.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability if it shall have reasonable grounds to

100

believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

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

Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

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

(g) Except with respect to Section 4.01, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuer with respect to the covenants

101

contained in Article 4. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default except (i) any Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 6.01(a) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge.

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

(i) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(j) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate (including any Officer’s Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document.

(k) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(l) The permissive rights of the trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as duties.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer 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 shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

102

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 shall mail to Holders 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 Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note, 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 Notes.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. (a) Within 60 days after each July 15 beginning with the July 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313; provided that if no event described in TIA Section 313 has occurred within the twelve months preceding such reporting date, no report need be transmitted. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed by the Trustee to the Issuer and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation as agreed to between the Issuer and the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages 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 Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, 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 shall be determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the

103

Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Issuer shall not be required to pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(d) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall 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(h) and 6.01(i) 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 shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall 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 Issuer. The Holders of a majority in Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

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

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

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

(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

104

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, 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, 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 shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall 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. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall 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 shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that together with its affiliates has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

105

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

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. (a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

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

(ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(iii) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Issuer pursuant to Article 5 or Section 11.05, respectively, hereof;

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

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

(vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08;

(vii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the Issue Date;

(viii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes, or to secure the Notes; or

106

(ix) to provide for exchange rights of Holders upon any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Stock, a consolidation, merger or combination involving a sale, lease or other transfer to another corporation of the consolidated assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or any statutory share exchange.

(b) Upon the request of the Issuer 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(b), the Trustee shall join with the Issuer 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 shall 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. (a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof), the Note Guarantees and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).

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

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

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice

107

briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting as a single class, may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer and the Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(i) reduce the Initial Principal Amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the optional redemption of the Notes contained in Article 3 of this Indenture or Section 5 of the Notes (except the notice period contained therein or in Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03);

(iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes or the payment or delivery of any consideration due upon exchange of the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

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

(vi) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or impair the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Notes;

(vii) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders;

(viii) make the Notes or the Note Guarantees subordinated in right of payment to any other obligations;

108

(ix) release any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, except as permitted by this Indenture;

(x) except as otherwise permitted or contemplated by provisions of this Indenture, impair or adversely affect the rights of Holders to exchange Notes pursuant to Article 10, including any adverse change to the Exchange Price; or

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

Section 9.03. [Reserved].

Section 9.04. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.05. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.06. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.07. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by or complies with this

109

Indenture, that all conditions precedent to such amendment required by this Indenture have been complied with and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

EXCHANGE OF NOTES

Section 10.01. Right To Exchange. Each Note shall be exchangeable, at the option of the Holder, into shares of Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The Notes shall be exchangeable into shares of Common Stock at an initial exchange price of $3.50 per share (the “Exchange Price”), subject to adjustments as provided in Section 10.05 of this Indenture. Except as provided in Section 10.06, the Issuer shall deliver, no later than the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Amount for such Exchange Date for each Note being exchanged, plus any cash payable pursuant to Section 10.03 in lieu of fractional shares (the “Exchange Obligation”). If the Exchange Date occurs within 15 calendar days of the Maturity Date, the Accreted Principal Amount for such Exchange Date shall be increased to reflect the Accretion Amount for the Maturity Date for the purpose of determining the Exchange Obligation. The Exchange Price for such Exchange Date will not be increased in connection with any increase in the Accreted Principal Amount.

Section 10.02. Exchange Procedures. (a) In order to exercise the exchange right with respect to any Definitive Notes, a Holder must (i) complete and manually sign an irrevocable notice of exchange in the form entitled “Form of Exchange Notice” attached to the reverse of such Definitive Note (or a facsimile thereof) (an “Exchange Notice”), (ii) deliver such Exchange Notice and Definitive Note to the Exchange Agent at the office of the Exchange Agent, (iii) to the extent any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents as may be required by the Exchange Agent and (iv) if required pursuant to Section 10.02(f), pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties.

(b) In order to exercise the exchange right with respect to any interest in a Global Note, a Holder must (i) comply with the Depositary’s procedures for exchanging a beneficial interest in a Global Note, (ii) to the extent any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents as may be

110

required by the Exchange Agent and (iii) if required pursuant to Section 10.02(f), pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties.

(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate Initial Principal Amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Note.

(e) Upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee and the Depositary shall reduce the Initial Principal Amount of such Global Note in their records to reflect such exchange.

(f) The issuance of stock certificates on exchanges of Notes shall be made without charge to the exchanging Holder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Issuer shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Notes exchanged, and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid.

(g) The delivery of shares of Common Stock together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock, upon exchange of a Note will be deemed to satisfy in full all obligations with respect to such Note. Accordingly, any accrued but non-capitalized interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon exchange, rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

Section 10.03. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Issuer shall not deliver fractional shares of Common Stock upon exchange of Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon exchange shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the exchange of any Notes, the Issuer shall make payment therefor in cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock based on the Common Stock Price on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date. The Issuer shall pay any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares no later than the third Business Day following the Exchange Date.

Section 10.04. Withholding Tax. (a) If the shares of Common Stock and any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares paid by the Issuer to a Holder upon exchange of the Notes pursuant to this Article 10 are not sufficient to allow the

111

Issuer to comply with the United States federal withholding tax obligations imposed by the Code with respect to accrued and non-capitalized interest on the Notes payable to the Beneficial Owner of such Notes, the Issuer may, to the extent required by applicable law, recoup or set off such liability against any amounts owed to such Holder, including, but not limited to, the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exchange to such Holder or any actual cash dividends or distributions subsequently made with respect to such shares of Common Stock to such Holder.

(b) If the Exchange Price of the Notes is adjusted pursuant to this Indenture, to the extent such adjustment results in a constructive distribution to Beneficial Owners of the Notes under Section 305 of the Code, the Issuer may, to the extent required by law, recoup or set off such liability against any payments (whether in cash or Common Stock) made with respect to the Notes (or any Common Stock received upon exchange thereof) to such Beneficial Owners.

Section 10.05. Adjustment of Exchange Price. The Exchange Price shall be adjusted from time to time as described below if any of the following events occurs:

(a) If Holdings issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, or if Holdings effects a share split or share combination in respect of the Common Stock, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	EP1 = EP0 ×	OS0
		OS1

where,

EP0	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

EP1	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such effective date, as applicable;

OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such effective date, as applicable; and

112

OS1

the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05(a) shall become effective immediately after (x) the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (y) the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of Holdings determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If Holdings issues to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average Common Stock Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	EP1 = EP0 ×	OS0 + Y
		OS0 + X

where,

EP0	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance;

EP1	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;

X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Common Stock Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

113

Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants described in this Section 10.05(b) are not so distributed, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the Exchange Price that would then be in effect if the Record Date for such distribution had not occurred. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of the Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the Exchange Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of the Common Stock actually delivered.

For purposes of this Section 10.05(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the average Common Stock Price of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by Holdings for such rights, options or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings.

(c) If Holdings distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock shares of its Capital Stock (other than Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of Holdings or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities of Holdings excluding any dividend, distribution or issuance as to which an adjustment was effected by clauses (a) or (b) above or (d) below, or Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 10.05(c) apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of Holdings, the “Distributed Property”) the Exchange Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

EP1 = EP0 ×	SP0 – FMV
	SP0

where,

EP0	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

EP1	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

114

SP0	=	the average of the Common Stock Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings), on such Record Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock.

Any adjustment made under the portion of this Section 10.05(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted to the Exchange Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder of a Note shall receive, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Amount immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.05(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Common Stock Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

However, if the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) is one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock consists of shares of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests of or relating to, a Subsidiary or other business unit of Holdings (a “Spin-Off”) that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted to trading on a United States national securities exchange, then the Exchange Price will instead be adjusted based on the following formula:

EP1 = EP0 ×	MP0
	FMV0 + MP0

where,

EP0

the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period (as defined below);

115

EP1	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV0	=	the average of the Common Stock Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interests distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Common Stock Price set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Valuation Period”) commencing on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off; and

MP0	=	the average of the Common Stock Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Exchange Price under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any exchange during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 10.05(c) related to Spin-Offs to ten Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Exchange Date in determining the Exchange Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so made, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

For purposes of this Section 10.05(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 10.09), rights, options or warrants distributed by Holdings to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Holdings’ Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Exchange Price under this Section 10.05(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Price shall be made under this Section 10.05(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date

116

of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Exchange Price under this Section 10.05(c) was made, (A) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Exchange Price shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Exchange Price shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (B) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 10.05(a), Section 10.05(b) and Section 10.05(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.05(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.05(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 10.05(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.05(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Exchange Price adjustment required by this Section 10.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Exchange Price adjustment required by Section 10.05(a) and Section 10.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Issuer (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such effective date, as applicable” within the meaning of

117

Section 10.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to close of business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 10.05(b).

(d) If any dividend or other distribution consisting exclusively of cash is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

EP1 = EP0 ×	SP0 – C
	SP0

where,

EP0	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

EP1	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP0	=	the Common Stock Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C	=	the amount in cash per share distributed by Holdings to holders of the Common Stock.

Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that any such dividend or distribution is not so made, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of Holdings determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Exchange Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder of a Note shall receive, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Amount immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged exceeds the Common Stock Price per share 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 or exchange offer (the

118

“Expiration Date”), the Exchange Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

EP1 = EP0 ×	OS0 × SP1
	FMV + (SP1 × OS1)

where,

EP0	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following such Expiration Date;

EP1	=	the Exchange Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following such Expiration Date;

FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings), on the Expiration Date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date;

OS1	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer;

OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Expiration Time, prior to giving effect to the purchase or exchange of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer; and

SP1	=	the average of the Common Stock Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. In the event Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but Holdings or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Price that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding

119

sentence, if the application of this Section 10.05(e) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Exchange Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 10.05(e).

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the principal United States national or regional securities exchange, if any, on which the Common Stock is listed, the Issuer from time to time may decrease the Exchange Price by any amount for a period of at least 20 calendar days if the decrease is irrevocable during the period and the Issuer’s Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such decrease would be in the Issuer’s best interest, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Exchange Price is decreased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall mail to holders of record of the Notes a notice of the decrease, which notice will be given at least five calendar days prior to the effectiveness of any such decrease, and such notice shall state the decreased Exchange Price and the period during which it will be in effect.

(g) In addition, the Issuer may (but is not required to) decrease the Exchange Price to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.

(h) Adjustments to the Exchange Price shall be calculated to the nearest cent. No adjustment to the Exchange Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exchange Price. However, the Issuer will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Exchange Price that it elects not to make and take them into account upon the earlier of (i) any exchange of Notes or (ii) such time as all adjustments that have not been made prior thereto would have the effect of adjusting the Exchange Price by at least 1%.

(i) Whenever the Exchange Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Issuer shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth any applicable declaration date and the Exchange Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Exchange Price and may assume without inquiry that the last Exchange Price of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Issuer shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Price setting forth the adjusted Exchange Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Price to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register within 20 calendar days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

120

(j) In any case in which this Section 10.05(j) provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (i) a Record Date for a dividend or distribution described in Sections 10.05(a), 10.05(b) or 10.05(d), (ii) the effective date for a share split or share combination of the Common Stock described in Section 10.05(a), (iii) a Record Date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights or warrants pursuant to Section 10.05(b), or (iv) the Expiration Date for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 10.05(e), (each, a “Determination Date”), Holdings may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the Holder of any Notes exchanged after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such exchange by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such exchange before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share pursuant to Section 10.05. For purposes of this Section 10.05(j), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean:

(A) in any case referred to in clause (i) hereof, the date any such dividend or distribution is paid or made;

(B) in any case referred to in clause (ii) hereof, the occurrence of such event;

(D) in any case referred to in clause (iv) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(k) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses in this Section 10.05, the applicable Exchange Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) above if the Holders will participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination) in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05 without exchange of such Holder’s Notes on a basis equivalent to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to Exchange Amount as of the date such adjustment would otherwise become effective. In no event shall Holdings adjust the Exchange Price to the extent that the adjustment would reduce the Exchange Price below the par value per share of Common Stock. In addition, the applicable Exchange Price shall not be adjusted:

(i) 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 securities of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries

121

and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

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

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding bullet and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

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

(v) for accrued and non-capitalized interest.

(l) For purposes of this Section 10.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Holdings but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. Holdings shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Holdings.

Section 10.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger Or Sale. In the event of:

(a) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination to which Section 10.05(a) applies or a change in par value or from par value to no par value or vice versa);

(b) a consolidation, merger or combination involving Holdings; or

(c) a sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

(d) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which holders of Common Stock receive cash, securities or other property (the “Reference Property”) in exchange for such Common Stock (any such event or transaction, a “Reorganization Event”), in each case, Holdings or its successor, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture, if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that the Notes shall become exchangeable based on the type and amount of consideration that would have been received by the holders of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the

122

Exchange Amount immediately prior to such Reorganization Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Reorganization Event, the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with Section 11.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event. If the Reorganization Event causes the Common Stock to be exchanged for more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will be exchangeable will be deemed to be (i) if the holders of a majority of Common Stock make an affirmative election, the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (ii) if the holders of a majority of Common Stock do not make an affirmative election, the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by all holders of Common Stock. In all cases, the provisions under Section 10.02 shall continue to apply with respect to the calculation of the Exchange Obligation. Holdings hereby agrees not to become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10. Holdings shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Note Register, within 20 calendar days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

Section 10.07. Certain Covenants. (a) Holdings shall, prior to the issuance of any Notes hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held in treasury, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, free of preemptive rights, to permit the exchange of the Notes.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Issuer covenants that all shares of Common Stock delivered upon exchange of Notes shall be duly and validly issued by Holdings and fully paid and non-assessable by Holdings and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(c) Each of Holdings and the Issuer shall endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exchange of Notes, if any, and shall cause to have listed or quoted and shall keep listed or quoted all such shares of Common Stock on each United States national securities exchange or automatic quotation system or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

Section 10.08. Notice To Holders Prior To Certain Actions. In case:

123

(a) Holdings shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Price pursuant to Section 10.05; or

(b) Holdings shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Price pursuant to Section 10.05; or

(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of Holdings (other than a share split or share combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value), or of any share exchange, consolidation or merger to which Holdings is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of Holdings is required, or of the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Holdings; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Holdings;

the Issuer shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the books and records of the Registrar, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the declaration date of the dividend or other distribution, (y) the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (z) the date on which such reclassification, share exchange, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 10.09. Stockholder Rights Plans. If the rights provided for in any rights plan adopted by Holdings have not separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement, upon exchange of Notes, the exchanging Holder shall receive, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, the rights under the applicable stockholders rights agreement. If such rights have separated from the Common Stock, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 10.05(c) at the time of separation as if Holdings distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of Holdings’ Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets, subject to

124

readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 10.10. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Exchange Price or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Exchange Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of Holdings or the Issuer contained in this Article 10. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 10.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the exchange of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 10.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Issuer shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 11
GUARANTEES

Section 11.01. Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all

125

other Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, 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 Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

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

126

Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02. [Reserved].

Section 11.03. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.04. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer (or other person serving in a similar capacity) of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers (or other person serving in a similar capacity).

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer (or other person serving in a similar capacity) whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

In the event that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.19, the Issuer shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.19 and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

127

Section 11.05. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.05, 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 either of the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless either:

(a) the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor) acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor, under this Indenture, the Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(b) such transaction does not violate Section 4.10.

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

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, and notwithstanding clauses and above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into either of the Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

Section 11.06. Releases. The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10;

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect

128

to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer after which the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10;

(c) if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17 or a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of that term; or

(d) upon legal satisfaction and discharge in accordance with Article 12.

If any Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors will be released from their Note Guarantees, if any.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.06 shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(a) either:

(i) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money or shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the Issuer’s Exchange Obligation have been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, Redemption Date, upon exchange or otherwise and the Issuer 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, cash and shares of Common Stock (solely to satisfy the Issuer’s Exchange Obligation, if applicable), or a combination of the foregoing, in amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if

129

any, and accrued and non-capitalized interest to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date and any consideration due upon exchange, if applicable;

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

(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, toward the payment or exchange of the Notes on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Exchange Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s 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 sub-clause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 12.03 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 12.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.03, all money and shares of Common Stock deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money and shares of Common Stock have been deposited with the Trustee; but such money and shares of Common Stock need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

To the extent that and so long as the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money, Government Securities or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 12.01 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 Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided,

130

however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 12.03. Repayment to Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall 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 Issuer 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 shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of SYMBION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), designated as its 8.00% Senior PIK Exchangeable Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 14, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), as Trustee, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authorized and delivered.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Interest shall accrue on the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes at the rate of 8.00% per annum from the Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Accrual Date, and will compound on a semi-annual basis on each Interest Accrual Date. In addition, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes at the rate and during the periods as provided in Section 2.04 of the Registration Rights Agreement. Except as specified in the Indenture, the Issuer shall not pay interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on this Note in cash on any Interest Accrual Date, but instead the Accreted Principal Amount shall be increased on each Interest Accrual Date by the Accretion Amount.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect payment. The Issuer shall make payment in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Issuer may make payment by check payable in such money.

(3) PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR AND EXCHANGE AGENT. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Exchange Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Exchange Agent without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb), subject to Section 13.01 of the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are general senior unsecured

A-5

obligations of the Issuer. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer may issue Additional Notes.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Issuer may not redeem the Notes prior to June 15, 2014. On or after June 15, 2014 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the Redemption Price set forth below in the table below (expressed as a percentage of the Accreted Principal Amount and based on the period during which the relevant Redemption Date occurs), plus accrued and non-capitalized interest on the Notes to be redeemed, including any Additional Interest, to, but excluding, the relevant Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).

Redemption Date	Percentage of Accreted Principal Amount
Redemption Date occurs during the period from, and including, June 15, 2014 to, but excluding, June 15, 2015	104	%
Redemption Date occurs during the period from, and including, June 15, 2015 to, but excluding, June 15, 2016	102	%

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 Initial Principal Amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

(8) EXCHANGE. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to exchange any Notes or portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 Initial Principal Amount or an integral multiple thereof, into shares of Common Stock, at the applicable Exchange Price specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 Initial Principal Amount and integral multiples thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered

A-6

and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes, including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes, including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (iii) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees in case of a merger or consolidation, (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, (v) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08, (vii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the Issue Date, (viii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes or to secure the Notes, (ix) to issue additional notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or (x) to provide for exchange rights of Holders upon any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Stock, a consolidation, merger or combination involving a sale, lease or other transfer to another corporation of the consolidated assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or any statutory share exchange.

(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or

A-7

insolvency in respect of the Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in Initial Principal Amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

(13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member partner or other holder of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any such Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

(15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(16) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(17) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 14, 2011, among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

(18) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to Holders.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of June 14, 2011, providing for the issuance of 8.00% Senior PIK Exchangeable Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”);

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 irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note 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 Notes as follows:

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