Replacement Notes.
 
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon the written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company, shall authenticate a replacement Note (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.
 
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and the Guarantors and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
 
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 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
 
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
 
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
 
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on
 

 
-46-
 


that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
 
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, by any Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, 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.
 
Temporary Notes.
 
Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) in exchange for temporary Notes.
 
Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
 
Cancellation.

Defaulted Interest.
 
If either the Company or any Guarantor defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it or they (to the extent of their obligations under the Note Guarantees) shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment.  The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10
 

 
-47-
 


days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
 
CUSIP Numbers.
 
The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
 
[Reserved].
 
Issuance of Additional Notes.
 
The Company shall be entitled, without the consent of the Holders, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount which shall have substantially identical terms as the Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto; provided that such issuance is not prohibited by Section 4.09 or 4.10.  The Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.
 
With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors (or a duly appointed committee thereof) and in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
 
(1)           the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
 
(2)           the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto; and
 
(3)           whether such Additional Notes shall be transfer restricted securities or shall be registered securities.

Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.
 
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (or as otherwise required by the rules and procedures of DTC).
 
No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC) at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notices of redemption may not be conditional.
 
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.  Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.  On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
 
Notice of Redemption.
 
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary), 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 numbers) and shall state:
 
(a) the redemption date;
 
(b) the redemption price;
 

 
-49-
 


(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the 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 principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion 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;
 
(f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
 
(g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
 
(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 Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, or such shorter period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph and containing a copy of the text of the notice to the Holders.
 
Effect of Notice of Redemption.
 
Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.  A notice of redemption may not be conditional.
 
Deposit of Redemption Price.
 
One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.
 
If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption.  If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date.  If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company 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 hereof.
 
Notes Redeemed in Part.
 
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

(i) the incurrence by the Parent Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility (including amounts outstanding on the Issue Date) or Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness permitted by this clause (i) at any one time outstanding does not exceed $250 million less any repayments actually made thereunder with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales in accordance with clause (b) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07;
 
(ii) the incurrence by the Parent Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness (excluding amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility at the Issue Date);

(v) the incurrence by the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, defease, discharge or replace, Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that is permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (ix) of this paragraph;
 
(vi) the incurrence by the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Parent Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
 
(A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and such Indebtedness is owed to or held by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, in the case of a Guarantor; and
 
(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Parent Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Parent Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Parent Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);
 
(vii) the incurrence by the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of (a) Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding and (b) other Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(x) the incurrence by the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of judgment, appeal, surety, performance and other like bonds, bankers acceptances and letters of credit provided by the Parent Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (including any similar Indebtedness incurred to refinance, retire, renew, defease, refund, discharge or otherwise replace any Indebtedness referred to in this clause (x)); and

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in paragraphs (b)(i) through (b)(xi) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.09, the Parent Company shall be permitted to classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 and such Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to such clauses or the first paragraph hereof, as the case may be, as designated by the Parent Company.  Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value or liquidation preference and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.
 
 
The Parent Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or trade payables on any asset or property now owned or hereafter acquired except Permitted Liens.
 
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.
 
(a) The Parent Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
 
(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions or pay Indebtedness to the Parent Company or any of the Parent Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Parent Company or any of the Parent Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries;

(ii) this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;
 
(iii) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(vi) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions, loans, advances or asset transfers by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; or
 
(vii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being extended, refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased, discharged or refunded (as determined in good faith by the Parent Company);
 

 
-66-
 


(viii) any agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.09 hereof (i) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in this Indenture (as determined in good faith by the Parent Company), or (ii) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Parent Company) and either (x) the Parent Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness;
 
(ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under Section 4.10 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(xii) customary restrictions on such loans, advances or transfers contained in agreements governing Permitted Investments properly made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture

-67-
 


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 (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
 
(a) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Parent Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Parent Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and
 
(b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15 million, the Parent Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in the Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.12 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, if any.
 
The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
 
(a)           any employment agreement entered into by the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practice of the Parent Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;
 
(b)           indemnification agreements permitted by law entered into by the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any of its Affiliates who are directors, employees or agents of the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(i)           any transaction that has been approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Parent Company as being fair to the Parent Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
 
(j)           any agreement, instrument or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Parent Company); and
 
(k)           the existence of, or the performance by the Parent Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any shareholders agreement or its equivalent (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Parent Company 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 shall only be permitted by this clause (k) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the terms of the original agreement in effect on the Issue Date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Parent Company.
 
Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.
 
If after the Issue Date the Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary acquires or creates another North American Subsidiary that is not the Company or an Excluded Subsidiary (or, if any such North American Subsidiary ceases to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary), then that newly acquired or created North American Subsidiary (or North American Subsidiary that ceases to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary) must become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created or ceased to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary.
 
Additionally, any such additional Guarantor shall enter into a joinder agreement to the applicable Security Documents and take all actions required by such Security Documents or advisable in the opinion of the Company, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Company, to cause the Notes Priority Liens created by the Security Documents to be duly perfected to the extent required by such agreements in accordance with all applicable law, including the filing of financing statements in the jurisdictions of incorporation or formation of the applicable Guarantor.
 
Limitations on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness.
 
The Parent Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor of the Notes, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to secure the
 

 
-69-
 


payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company or the Parent Company unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary to the same extent as such Guarantee of such other Indebtedness, which Guarantee shall be senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee of or pledge to secure such other Indebtedness.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Note Guarantee of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under the circumstances described in Section 10.05 hereof.
 
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
 
The Board of Directors of the Parent Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or Person that becomes a Subsidiary through merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation or otherwise) other than the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default and the Subsidiary meets the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Parent Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(d) or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Parent Company. That designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
 
[Reserved].
 
Payments for Consent.
 
The Parent Company 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 of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

The Trustee will have no responsibility whatsoever to monitor whether filings or postings described herein have occurred or the timeliness of such filing or posting.
 
Delivery of reports, information and documents described herein to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Parent Company’s compliance with any of its

Acceleration.
 
If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
 
If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
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, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents.
 
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.
 
Waiver of Past Defaults.
 
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate 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 in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such
 

 
-79-
 


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.
 
Control by Majority.
 
Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, the Holders of a majority in 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 of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
 
Limitation on Suits.
 
A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
 
(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
 
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
 
(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
 
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
 
(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
 
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note, it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not a Holder’s actions or forbearances constitute such prejudicial use.
 
Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Collection Suit by Trustee.

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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d).  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted from any stock exchange.
 
Compensation and Indemnity.
 
The Company and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing between the Company 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 Company and the Guarantors 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.
 
The Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees or any successor Trustee against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee)) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or wilful misconduct.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company and the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.  The Company and the Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 are joint and several and shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
 
To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, 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.
 
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
 
The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.
 

 
-86-
 


“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.
 
Replacement of Trustee.
 
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.
 
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of Notes of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:
 
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
 
(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
 
(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
 
(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
 
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
 
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, any Guarantor or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Note who has been a Holder of a Note for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Notes.  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 hereof.  Notwithstanding

Co-Trustees; Separate Trustee; Collateral Agent
 
At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of (i) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or (ii) the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount at maturity of the Notes, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.13.  If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default has occurred and

is continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent alone shall have power to make such appointment.
 
Should any written instrument from the Company be requested by any co-trustee or separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request of such co-trustee or separate trustee or separate collateral agent, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company.
 
Any co-trustee, separate trustee or co-collateral agent, sub-collateral agent or separate collateral agent shall agree in writing to be and shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents as if it were the Trustee or Collateral Agent thereunder (and the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall continue to be so subject).

custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith.
 
(b) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
 
Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
 
The Company may, at its option at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.
 
Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
 
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, as applicable, on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and
 

 
-91-
 


the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8.  Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Repayment to Company.
 
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall, subject to applicable escheat law, be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as a secured creditor, look only to the Company or Guarantors for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, 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 Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which 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 Company.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company 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 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.  However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
 
(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
 
(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof);
 
(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;
 
(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
 
(e) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;
 
(g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.06 or 4.07;
 
(h) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, or amend the provisions of this Indenture relating to the release of Guarantors, except as set forth in this Indenture;
 
(i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents; or
 
(j) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
 
[Reserved].
 
Revocation and Effect of Consents.
 
Until an amendment, supplemental indenture 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.
 
Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
 
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (accompanied by a notation of the Note Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) 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.
 
Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc.
 
The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture, Note or Security Document authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.  The Company and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it.  In executing any amended or
 

 
-98-
 


supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture or other document is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents, as applicable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees 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 Company hereunder or thereunder, that:  (a) the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at the maturity or interest payment or mandatory redemption date, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (b) 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.  The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be 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 of this Indenture and the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that the Note Guarantees shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.  The Notes also shall be guaranteed in the future as required by Section 4.14.
 
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or Guarantors, or any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any of the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, these Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  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.
 

 
-99-
 


Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of these Note Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of these Note Guarantees.  The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under these Note Guarantees.
 
 
Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each Holder hereof, hereby confirm that it is their intention that the Note Guarantee by such Guarantor 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 the extent applicable to the Note Guarantees.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, each such person hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligation of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee under this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Company of payments made by guarantees by such parties, result in the obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent conveyance.  Each Holder, by accepting the benefits hereof, confirms its intention that, in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding of the Company or any Guarantor in which concurrent claims are made upon such Guarantor hereunder, to the extent such claims shall not be fully satisfied, each such claimant with a valid claim against the Company shall be entitled to a ratable share of all payments by such Guarantor in respect of such concurrent claims.
 
 
To evidence the Note Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of the Note Guarantees substantially in the form of Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer 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 its President, Chief Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents.
 
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Note Guarantees set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Note Guarantees.
 
If an officer or Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantees no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Note Guarantees are endorsed, the Note Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless.
 

 
-100-
 


The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
 
 
(a) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes, or Note Guarantees shall prevent any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to the Company or to a Subsidiary Guarantor.
 
(b) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes or Note Guarantees shall prevent any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of a Guarantor with or into a Person or Persons other than the Company (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor), or successive consolidations, amalgamations, arrangements or mergers in which a Guarantor or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to a Person other than the Company (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor) authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, that either, as a result of such transaction, such Guarantor will be released from its Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.05 or such transaction meets all of the following requirements:  (i) either:  (a) such Guarantor is the surviving or continuing Person; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving or continuing any such consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or the jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is organized and under the laws of which it is existing; (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor), or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made, assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantees and this Indenture, as applicable, pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee; and (iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists.  In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantees 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 corporation 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 corporation 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 Company 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.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing conditions shall not apply to a Guarantor which is
 

 
-101-
 


a Subsidiary of the Company in connection with a transaction as a result of which such Guarantor will be released from its Note Guarantee as provided in Section 10.05 hereof.
 
Releases.
 
The Note Guarantee or the obligations under Section 10.04 hereof of a Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary will be released:
 
(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger, amalgamation, arrangement, winding-up, consolidation or liquidation), if the Company applies the Net Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with Section 4.07 hereof to the extent required thereby;
 
(b) in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, if the Company applies the Net Proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.07 hereof to the extent required thereby;
 
(c) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if such Subsidiary Guarantor would constitute an Excluded Subsidiary under clause (c) or (d) of the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary,” upon the delivery of an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Subsidiary Guarantor is an Excluded Subsidiary under such clause; or
 
(d) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or upon satisfaction and a discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11.
 
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.07 hereof, the Trustee shall at the written request of the Company execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantees.  Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.
 
“Trustee” to Include Paying Agent.
 
In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 10 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 10 in place of the Trustee.

Conversion of Currency.
 
The Company and the Guarantors covenant and agree that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Notes, this Indenture, the Security Documents and any other Notes documents:
 
(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into a currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in any other currency (the “Base Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine).  If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the judgment currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Base Currency originally due.
 
(b) In the event of the winding-up of the Company at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Notes and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (1) the date as of which the equivalent of the amount in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, due or contingently due under the Notes, this Indenture, the Security Documents or any other Notes documents (other than under this paragraph (b)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up.  For the purpose of this paragraph (b), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Company shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Company may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.
 

 
-112-
 


(c) The obligations contained in paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section 13.17 shall constitute obligations of the Company separate and independent from its other respective obligations under the Notes, this Indenture, the Security Documents and any other Notes documents, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Company, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or the Trustee or any of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Company for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under paragraph (b) above) or under any such judgment or order.  Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Company or the liquidator or otherwise or any of them.  In the case of paragraph (b) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.
 
(d) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by Royal Bank of Canada at its central foreign exchange desk in its head office in Montréal at 12:00 noon (Montréal, Canada time) for purchases of the Base Currency with the judgment currency other than the Base Currency referred to in Subsections (a) and (b) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.
 
(e) The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing this Section 13.17.
 
Currency Equivalent.
 
Except as provided in Section 13.17, for purposes of the construction of the terms of this Indenture, the Notes or the other Notes documents, in the event that any amount is stated herein in the currency of one nation (the “First Currency”), as of any date such amount shall also be deemed to represent the amount in the currency of any other relevant nation which is required to purchase such amount in the First Currency at the rate of exchange quoted by Royal Bank of Canada at its central foreign exchange desk in its head office in Montréal, Canada at 12:00 noon (Montréal, Canada time) on the date of determination.

2.           Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.  Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

5.           Optional Redemption.  Except as provided below, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to their final maturity at the option of the Company.
 
(a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2019, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the applicable redemption date.

(b)           If the Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummate an Asset Sale or an Event of Loss offer, the Company shall, if required by Section 4.07 or Section 4.19, as the case may be, of the Indenture, promptly commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Net Proceeds or Net Loss Proceeds, as applicable, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or $1,000 integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased).  Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Offer from the Company at least twenty Business Days prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes.
 
8.           Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption will 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 by first class mail to its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
 
9.           Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  The transfer of Notes may be registered 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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Company 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.  Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

or priority of the Notes Priority Liens, taken as a whole, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof by the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, or (b) any security interest created under the Security Documents or under the Indenture is declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) the Company or any Guarantor asserts, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any security interest in any Collateral is invalid or unenforceable.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in 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 insolvency, with respect to the Parent Company, Company, any Restricted Subsidiary constituting a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will 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 principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.  If an Event of Default occurs by reason of willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in the Indenture or herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes.  The Parent Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
 
13.           Trustee Dealings with Company.  The Trustee, 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.
 
14.           No Recourse Against Others.  A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or the Guarantors, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the 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.

3.           We understand that, on any proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions.  We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.  We further understand that any subsequent transfer by us of the Notes or beneficial interest therein acquired by us must be effected through one of the Placement Agents.
 
4.           We are an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.
