Each Regulation S Temporary Note shall be (i) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, (ii) registered in the name of Depositary or its nominee, for credit to the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream and (iii) deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Regulation S Temporary Global Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (including the text and schedule called for by footnotes 1 and 5 thereto). Prior to the 40^th day following the later of commencement of the offering of the Notes and the Issue Date (such period through and including the 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream, and any resale or transfer of such interests to U.S. persons shall not be permitted during such period unless such resale or transfer is made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II, including, without limitation, receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided herein to the effect that such transfer is being made to (i) a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in a transaction meeting the requirements of such Rule or (ii) an Institutional Accredited Investor purchasing for its own account or for the account of

such an Institutional Accredited Investor, subject to delivery of the letters and opinions contemplated by the Indenture.

At any time after the Restricted Period, upon receipt by the Trustee and the Company of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, one or more permanent global Notes in registered form without interest coupons (each, a “Regulation S Permanent Global Note”, and together with the Regulation S Temporary Global Notes, the “Regulation S Global Notes”), shall be (i) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, (ii) registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and (iii) deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Notes transferred. Regulation S Permanent Global Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (including the text and schedule called for by footnotes 1 and 5 thereto). The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

The Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes are sometimes referred to herein as the “Global Notes.”

Notes transferred to Institutional Accredited Investors and Notes issued in exchange for interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.08(e) shall be issued in the form of permanent certificated Notes (the “U.S. Physical Notes”) in registered form. Notes issued in exchange for interests in the Regulation S Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.08(e) shall be in the form of permanent certificated Notes (the “Regulation S Physical Notes”, and together with the U.S. Physical Notes, the “Physical Notes”) in registered form. The Physical Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (including the text and schedule called for by footnote 5 thereto).

Global Notes or Physical Notes issued as Exchange Notes shall not bear the legend called for by footnote 2 of Exhibit A attached hereto, and shall bear the reference to “Series B” called for by footnotes 3 and 4 of Exhibit A attached hereto.

The definitive Notes shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

SECTION 2.02. Restrictive Legends.

(a) Transfer Restricted Securities Legend.

(i) Except as permitted by the clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.02(a), each Note certificate evidencing Global Notes and Physical Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor and substitution thereof) shall bear the following Transfer Restricted Securities Legend:

THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OR (B) IT IS AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (AN “INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR”) OR (C) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS NOTE IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY EXCEPT (A) TO XXXX CORPORATION OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES TO BNY MIDWEST TRUST COMPANY, AS TRUSTEE (OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE), A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM SUCH TRUSTEE OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE), AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER OF LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO XXXX CORPORATION THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, (D) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE) OR (F) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER); AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), THE HOLDER MUST CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BOX SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS CERTIFICATE TO BNY MIDWEST TRUST COMPANY, AS TRUSTEE (OR A SUCCESSOR

TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE). IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE IS AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR OR A PURCHASER WHO IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO BNY MIDWEST TRUST COMPANY, AS TRUSTEE (OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE), SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION”, “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

(ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Note that does not bear the Transfer Restricted Securities Legend, and shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security.

(iii) After the expiration of the Restricted Period and upon receipt by the Company and the Trustee of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange a Regulation S Temporary Global Note which bears the Transfer Restricted Securities Legend for a Regulation S Permanent Global Note which does not bear such legend, and shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall issue, and upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate the Exchange Notes in exchange for the Initial Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer, and the Registrar shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of such security. Exchange Notes shall also be issued in exchange for the Initial Notes following any sale of Initial Notes pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to anyone other than an Affiliate of the Company upon certification by the seller of such Initial Notes that such sale was made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(b) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note, whether or not an Exchange Note, shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”) TO XXXX CORPORATION OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR

OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication.

Two Officers shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

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

The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company, authenticate for original issue Notes in aggregate principal amount specified in such order. The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company, authenticate for original issue upon completion of the Exchange Offer (and thereafter as appropriate) Exchange Notes in aggregate principal amount specified in such order. The aggregate principal amount of Notes and Exchange Notes outstanding at any time shall not exceed $400,000,000, except in each case as provided in Section 2.10 and Section 2.18.

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

SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents for the Notes. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any additional registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA and implement the terms of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent who is not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar; provided, however, that none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Affiliates of the foregoing shall act (i) as Paying Agent in connection with redemptions, offers to purchase, discharges and defeasance, as otherwise specified in this Indenture, and (ii) as Paying Agent or Registrar if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust.

Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the principal and interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit with one or more Paying Agents money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming due. The Company 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 assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, including any Guarantor) and shall notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes, including any Guarantor) in making any such payment. While any such failure continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

If the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall, prior to or on each due date of any principal of or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient with monies held by all other Paying Agents, to pay such principal or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its actions or failure to act.

SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee prior to or on each Interest Payment Date for the Notes and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders relating to such Interest Payment Date or request, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.07. General Provisions Relating to Transfer and Exchange.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer a Note only by written application to the Registrar or another transfer agent stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company shall treat the person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Transfer Restricted Security, a beneficial

interest in a Global Note being transferred in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than in accordance with Rule 144, Rule 144A and Regulation S may only be transferred for a Physical Note.

When Notes are presented to the Registrar or another transfer agent with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations (including an exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes), the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder); provided that no exchanges of Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until an exchange offer registration statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, shall have been declared effective by the SEC and that any Initial Notes that are exchanged for Exchange Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.03, to permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.13, 3.06 or 9.05 hereof).

Neither the Registrar nor any other transfer agent nor the Company shall be required to:

(i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or

(ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

SECTION 2.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a) The Rule 144A Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes initially shall:

(i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary;

(ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary; and

(iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“DTC Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair,

as between the Depositary and the DTC Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Beneficial owners may transfer their interests in Global Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.09 hereof.

(c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(d) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may hold interests through DTC Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(e) If at any time:

(i) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that the Depositary is no longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary for the Global Notes is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation;

(ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Notes in definitive form under this Indenture in exchange for all or any part of the Notes represented by a Global Note or Global Notes; or

(iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary,

subject to Section 2.08(e), the Depositary shall surrender such Global Note or Global Notes to the Trustee for cancellation and then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, U.S. Physical Notes and Regulation S Physical Notes, as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners, or participant nominees, of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Notes (or any nominee thereof).

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.07, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more U.S. Physical Notes or Regulation S Physical Notes, as the case may be, of like tenor and amount.

SECTION 2.09. Special Transfer Provisions.

Unless and until an Initial Note (1) is exchanged for an Exchange Note, (2) transferred after the time period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or (3) otherwise sold in connection with an effective registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the following provisions shall apply:

General.

By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Transfer Restricted Securities Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. The Registrar shall be entitled to receive and rely on written instructions from the Company verifying that such transfer complies with such restrictions on transfer. In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Registrar or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof or this Section 2.09. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

SECTION 2.10. Replacement Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of the Trustee and the Company are met; provided that, if any such Note has been called for redemption in accordance with the terms thereof, the Trustee may pay the Redemption Price thereof on the Redemption Date without authenticating or replacing such Note. The Trustee or the Company may, in either case, require the Holder to provide an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of each of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced or if the Redemption Price therefor is paid pursuant to this Section 2.10. The Company may charge the Holder who has lost a Note for its expenses in replacing a Note.

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

SECTION 2.11. Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee, except for (i) those cancelled by it, (ii) those delivered to it for cancellation and (iii) those described in this Section as not outstanding.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If all principal of and interest on any Note are considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, such Note ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

Except as provided in Section 2.12 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds such Note.

SECTION 2.12. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though they are 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 which such Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.13. Temporary Notes.

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company 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 2.14. Cancellation.

The Company 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, payment or repurchase. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, repurchase, redemption, replacement or cancellation and shall return such cancelled Notes to the Company upon the Company’s written request (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.15. CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a

convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall 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 shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

SECTION 2.16. Defaulted Interest.

If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on Notes, it shall pay such defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Notes on which the interest is due on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each such Note. The Company shall fix any such record date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before any such record date, the Company shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the record date, Interest Payment Date, and amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.17. Special Record Dates.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders of Notes entitled to consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Notes outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

SECTION 2.18. Issuance of Additional Notes.

The Company shall be entitled to issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) under this Indenture which shall have identical terms and the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. Any Additional Notes shall be issued in conformity with applicable securities laws.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the redemption provision of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the intended Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the CUSIP numbers of the Notes to be redeemed.

The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.01 and an Officers’ Certificate at least 30 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed from the outstanding Notes by a method that complies with the requirements of any exchange on which the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not listed on an exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate.

Notes and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Notes to be redeemed or any integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the Register.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the method being used to determine the Redemption Price;

(iii) if fewer than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;

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

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

(vi) that, unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue interest on and after the Redemption Date; and

(vii) the CUSIP numbers, if any, of the Notes to be redeemed.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense. The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Notes shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Notes.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any amount of money not required for that purpose.

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

(a) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at the Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; and

(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed from the Redemption Date to the maturity date discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus any interest accrued but not paid to the Redemption Date.

(b) For purposes of this optional redemption provision, the following terms have the following definitions:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated and two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York City (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Notes.

The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in this Indenture and the Notes.

The Company 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 Company 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 Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company 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.

The Company hereby designates the New York office of the Trustee located at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof.

(c) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 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 Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

SECTION 4.04. Compliance Certificate.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate, one of the singers of which is the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer or the chief accounting officer of the Company, stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company, they would normally have knowledge of any failure by the Company to comply with all conditions, or Default by the Company with respect to any covenants, under this Indenture, and further stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such failure or Default and, if so, specifying each such failure or Default and the nature thereof; provided, however, that the first such Officers’ Certificate shall be delivered on or before May 15, 2005.

preservation thereof is no longer in the best interests of the Company, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Liens.

The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any of their respective properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or upon any income or profits therefrom, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except:

(ii) Liens on shares of capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company (and the proceeds thereof) securing obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities;

(iii) Liens on receivables subject to a Receivable Financing Transaction;

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes occurs when any of the following occurs:

(i) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any Note when it becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

(ii) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Note when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(iii) the Company or any Guarantor fails to comply with any of its other agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Notes or this Indenture and the Company does not cure the Default within sixty (60) days after the Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee in writing;

(iv) any Guarantee of the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes, except, in each case, in connection with a release of a Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(v) the nonpayment at maturity or other default (beyond any applicable grace period) under any agreement or instrument relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (the unpaid principal amount of which is not less than $50,000,000), which default results in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or occurs at the final maturity thereof and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled, or such Indebtedness repaid, within thirty (30) days after the Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee in writing; provided that if any such default with respect to other Indebtedness is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then any Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred;

(vi) the Company or a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(a) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

(b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

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

(a) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(b) appoints a Custodian for the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its property; or

and any such order or decree under this clause (vii) remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

Any notice of default under clause (iii) or (v) of this Section 6.01 must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company, may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount of all Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal (or such lesser amount) and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) of or interest on the Notes which have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, seeking recourse against any Guarantor.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon the Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02 hereof, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured and ceases.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.

The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that (i) conflicts with law or this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or (iii) may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action that it deems proper which is not inconsistent with any such direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of Notes may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

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

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

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of or interest, if any, on the Note on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company (and any other obligor on the Notes, including any Guarantor) for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the outstanding Notes (and the related Guarantees), together with (to the extent lawful) interest on overdue principal and interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and, to the extent lawful, expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes, including any Guarantor), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. Nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any amount of money with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

(First) to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense 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 and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

(Third) to the Company or any other obligors on the Notes, as their interests may appear, or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing reasonably in advance of any such record date and payment date.

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 pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

SECTION 6.12. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it 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 Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it 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.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

(h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture; and

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

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as such term is defined in Section 3.10(b) of the TIA), it must eliminate such

conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (to the extent permitted under Section 310(b) of 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 7.07. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC, if required, and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes become listed on any stock exchange.

SECTION 7.08. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it, including in particular, but without limitation, those incurred in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Such expenses may include the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

Except as set forth in the next paragraph, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and any predecessor trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of

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

The Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its fees and reimbursement of its expenses while acting as Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of at least a majority in principal

amount of then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

Any Holder of Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee if the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The Company shall mail a notice of the successor Trustee’s succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.

(b) if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

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

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendment, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it.

(v) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

(vi) any defense arising because of a Benefited Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law; and

(vii) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Law.

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

(i) for purposes of the relevant Guarantee, the maturity of the Obligations Guaranteed by such Guarantee may be accelerated as provided in Article VI, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby, and

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

(e) The Guarantees shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Notes is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Holders or the Trustee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the Guarantors, all as though such payment had not been made.

(f) Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantees or this Indenture; provided, however, that a Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments until the principal of and interest on all Notes issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 10.02. Obligations of Guarantors Unconditional.

Each Guarantor agrees that its Obligations hereunder shall be Guarantees of payment and shall be unconditional, irrespective of and unaffected by the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, or of any amendment thereto or hereto, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the waiver or consent by any Holder or by the Trustee with respect to any provisions thereof or of this Indenture, the entry of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

SECTION 10.03. Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor irrevocably agree that the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Article X shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable federal or state law.

SECTION 10.04. Releases of Guarantees.

(a) If the Notes are defeased in accordance with the terms of Article VIII of this Indenture, then each Guarantor shall be deemed to have been released from and discharged of its obligations under its Guarantee as provided in Article VIII hereof in respect of such Notes, subject to the conditions stated therein.

(b) In the event an entity that is a Guarantor ceases to be a guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities, such entity shall also cease to be a Guarantor, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default is then outstanding. In connection with any Guarantor ceasing to be a Guarantor hereunder, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that a Guarantor has ceased to be a guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities (or will cease to be a guarantor concurrently with it ceasing to be a Guarantor). Upon delivery to the Trustee of such Officers’ Certificate, upon the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute proper documents acknowledging the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, effective upon the Guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities.

(c) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of the Company, such Guarantor and any other Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article X.

SECTION 10.05. Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to Guarantors.

(a) For purposes of any provision of this Indenture that provides for the delivery by any Guarantor of an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, the definitions of such

terms in Section 1.01 hereof shall apply to such Guarantor as if references therein to the Company were references to such Guarantor.

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is to be made by any Guarantor shall be sufficient if evidenced by a written order of the Guarantor signed by one Officer of such Guarantor.

(c) Any notice or demand that by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders to or on any Guarantor may be given or served as described in Section 11.02 hereof.

(d) Upon any demand, request or application by any Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, such Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as are required in Section 7.02 hereof as if all references therein to the Company were references to such Guarantor.

SECTION 10.06. Additional Guarantors.

The Company shall cause each subsidiary of the Company that becomes a guarantor under the Principal Credit Facility (including any subsidiary that may have been formerly released as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.04), after the Issue Date, to execute and deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon any such formation or acquisition:

(i) a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee which subjects such subsidiary to the provisions of this Indenture as a Guarantor, and

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such subsidiary and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of such subsidiary (subject to exceptions concerning fraudulent conveyance laws, creditors’ rights and equitable principles and other customary exceptions as may be acceptable to the Trustee in its discretion).

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note: (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the Initial Notes being exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall be due and payable on the next Interest Payment Date for the Exchange Notes following the Exchange Offer and shall be paid to the Holder on the relevant record date of the Exchange Notes issued in respect of the Initial Notes being exchanged, (ii) interest on the Initial Notes being exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall cease to accrue on the date of completion of the Exchange Offer and interest on the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer shall accrue from the date of completion of the Exchange Offer and (iii) the Exchange Notes shall have no provisions for Additional Interest.

Method of Payment.

The Company will pay interest on the principal amount of the Notes as provided above on each Interest Payment Date, commencing February 1, 2005, to the persons which are Holders (as reflected in the Register at the close of business on the January 15 and July 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the Note is cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such record date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Note to a Paying Agent on or after August 1, 2014.

The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

Guarantees.

The Notes are guaranteed by the Guarantors, subject to the release of such guarantees under certain circumstances, as provided in the Indenture.

If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

11.

Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

Subject to certain conditions contained in the Indenture, at any time some or all of the obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture may be terminated if the Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes to redemption or stated maturity, as the case may be.

12.

Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

A-8

Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee, except, in each case, in connection with a release of a Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; (v) the nonpayment at maturity or other default (beyond any applicable grace period) under any agreement or instrument relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (the unpaid principal amount of which is not less than $50 million), which default results in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or occurs at the final maturity thereof and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled or such Indebtedness repaid within 30 days after notice is given as specified in the Indenture; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount hereof may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

15.

Trustee Dealings with the Company.

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

16.
