Two Officers shall sign the Notes for each Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

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

32

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuers may deliver Notes executed by the Issuers to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $545,896,000, and (ii) Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amount specified by the Issuers, in each case, upon a written order of the Issuers signed by two Officers of each of the Issuers (an “Authentication Order”).  Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether such Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes and such other information as the Issuers may include or the Trustee may reasonably request.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

Initial Notes and Additional Notes offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereunder or Rule 144A shall be issued as one or more Rule 144A Global Notes.  Initial Notes and Additional Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued as one or more Regulation S Global Notes.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes.  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 Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

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

The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of all amounts payable to the Trustee under the first clause of Section 6.10, and of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a

33

Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for monies already paid.  The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by it as Paying Agent.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Each Global Note shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Notes 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 2.06(f).

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) 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 Issuers, 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 herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers 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 its Agent Members, 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.  Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with Section 2.13 and the rules and procedures of the Depositary.  In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuers that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within ninety (90) days of such notice, (ii) the Issuers at their sole discretion, notify the Trustee in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this Indenture or (iii) an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue such Definitive Notes.

(c) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(d) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

34

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

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

Section 2.08 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 of this Indenture, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09, 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, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

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

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

Section 2.09 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 an Issuer, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with an Issuer, 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 knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

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

38

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner.  The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, they shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph of the Notes and/or the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes as follows:

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

(b)  if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, to the extent practicable (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements).

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

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

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

(a)   the redemption date;

(b)   the redemption price;

(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;

42

(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 Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption, or if any Note is being redeemed only in part, interest on a portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed, 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 Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at their expense; provided, however, that each of the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption, or if any Note is being redeemed only in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed, become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.  A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money in same day funds 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 Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Issuers comply 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 Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part.

43

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) The Issuers may, at any time and from time to time, prior to March 15, 2012, at their option, redeem the outstanding Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium.

(b) At any time prior to March 15, 2011, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date (plus any Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 110.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that:

(i)   at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date (plus any Additional Notes actually issued) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuers and their Subsidiaries); and

(ii)   the redemption must occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

(c) On or after March 15, 2012, the Issuers shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:

Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

44

In the event that the Issuers shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 (an “Asset Sale Offer”), the Issuers shall follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”).  No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.11 (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer.  Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.  Unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.09, the Issuers’ compliance with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of their obligations under this Section 3.09.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer the Issuers shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders.  The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(a) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.11 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

(b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

(d) that, unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in amounts equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only;

(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuers, a depositary, if appointed by the Issuers, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Purchase Date;

(g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder,

45

  the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuers so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued at the expense of the Issuers new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09.  The Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuers for purchase, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.  Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof.  The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes.

The Issuers shall pay or cause to be paid the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes.  Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Issuers in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

46

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 Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail 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 Issuers 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 Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes.  The Issuers 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 Issuers hereby designate Wilmington Trust Company, Xxxxxx Square North, 0000 X.

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Issuers were required to file such reports.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

In addition, the Issuers shall cause a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above to be posted, no later than the date such information is required to be furnished to registered Holders, on the website of CCI (and remain there for a period of one year from the date of such posting).  So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4).

52

(11) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive at the time such restrictions become effective, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(16) restrictions that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than customary provisions in comparable financings and that the management of the Company determines, at the time of such financing, will not materially impair the Issuers’ ability to make payments as required under the Notes.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors may incur Indebtedness, the Company may issue Disqualified Stock and Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that are Guarantors may issue Preferred Stock if the Leverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been not greater than 4.25 to 1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of the most recently ended fiscal quar-

53

ter.  Debt incurred under this paragraph, or once incurred under this paragraph and subsequently refinanced under clause (5) of the next succeeding paragraph, is collectively referred to as “Ratio Debt”).

So long as no Default under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused thereby, the first paragraph of this Section 4.10 shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors or that are not Guarantors because of the failure of the Effectiveness Condition to be satisfied (or that cease to be Guarantors as a result of the operation of the first paragraph of clause (a) of Section 11.04 and are no longer otherwise obligors with respect to the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations, except continuing to secure the Company’s obligations under the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations and the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes under Article 10); provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding under this clause (1) for all Credit Facilities after giving effect to such incurrence does not exceed an amount equal to $6.8 billion less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds from Asset Sales applied by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to repay Indebtedness under a Credit Facility pursuant to Section 4.11;

(2) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness (including Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the CCO Credit Facility);

(3) the incurrence on the Issue Date by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (other than any Additional Notes);

(4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement (including the cost of design, development, construction, acquisition, transportation, installation, improvement and migration) of Productive Assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, together with any related Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness permitted by clause (5) below, $75 million at any time outstanding;

(5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace, in whole or in part, Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under this clause (5), the first paragraph of this Section 4.10 (but only with respect to such first paragraph if by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors) or clause (2), (3) or (4) of this paragraph;

(6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(a) if the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor on the same terms as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations; and

54

(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing, hedging or swapping interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding;

(8) the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.10 and the guarantee by a Guarantor or by a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor because of the failure of the Effectiveness Condition to be satisfied (or that ceases to be a Guarantor as a result of the operation of the first paragraph of clause (a) of Section 11.04 and is no longer otherwise an obligor with respect to the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations, except continuing to secure the Company’s obligations under the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations and the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes under Article 10) of Indebtedness of CCO that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.10;

(9) Acquired Debt of a Person that becomes, or is merged into, a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; provided, however, that (x) such Acquired Debt was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming, or being merged into, a Restricted Subsidiary and (y) the Company would, at the time such Person becomes, or is merged into, a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such acquisition or merger had been made at the beginning of the applicable quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.10;

(10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding under this clause (10) not to exceed $300 million;

(11) the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the write-up of Indebtedness in accordance with purchase accounting; and

(12) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is promptly repaid.

Indebtedness outstanding under the CCO Credit Facility on the Issue Date, shall be deemed to be outstanding in reliance on clause (2) above (and not in reliance on clause (1)).  For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness (a) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (12) above or (b) is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.10, the Company shall be permitted to classify and from time to time to reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10.  Once any item of Indebtedness is so reclassified, it shall no longer be deemed outstanding under the category of Permitted Debt, where initially incurred or previously reclassified.  For avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a single agreement, instrument, program, facility or line of credit may be classified as Indebtedness arising in part under one of the

55

clauses listed above or under the first paragraph of this Section 4.10, and in part under any one or more of the clauses listed above, to the extent that such Indebtedness satisfies the criteria for such classification.

The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, incur, or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness which by its contractual terms (or by the contractual terms of any agreement to which any of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party governing such Indebtedness) is subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the contractual terms of any agreement to which the Company or such Guarantor is a party governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes (or relevant Note Guarantee) to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (it being understood that Indebtedness would not be considered subordinated in right of payment (i) merely by reason of being secured with a lower-priority Lien, (ii) if such Indebtedness constitutes Additional Pari Passu Second Priority Indebtedness or (iii) if such Indebtedness is pari passu in right of payment to the Notes and subject to an agreement the terms of which are substantially similar to the intercreditor agreement referred to in Section 7.12.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Indebtedness incurred during any Suspension Period shall not be deemed to have been incurred for the purposes of this Section 4.10, but shall be included in the calculation of outstanding Indebtedness from and after the next succeeding Reversion Date.

Section 4.11 Limitation on Asset Sales.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2) such fair market value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

(3) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or readily marketable securities.

For purposes of this Section 4.11, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

56

(b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the recipient thereof into cash, Cash Equivalents or readily marketable securities within 60 days after receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash, Cash Equivalents or readily marketable securities received in that conversion); and

(c) Productive Assets.

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds at its option:

(4) to repay debt under Credit Facilities (other than debt securities issued as part of, or to refinance, a Credit Facility that are not Pari Passu First Priority Indebtedness) or other Pari Passu First Priority Indebtedness or any other Indebtedness of the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (other than Indebtedness represented solely by a guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); or

(5) to invest in Productive Assets; provided, however, that any such amount of Net Proceeds which the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary has committed to invest in Productive Assets within 365 days of the applicable Asset Sale may be invested in Productive Assets within two years of such Asset Sale.

The amount of any Net Proceeds received from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25 million, the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is of equal priority with the Notes (including the Existing CCO Notes) containing provisions requiring offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness of equal priority that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, irrespective of the $25 million threshold.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be payable in cash and equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subject Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness of equal priority tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Indebtedness of equal priority to be purchased on a pro rata basis.

If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, then the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof may use such remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.  Upon completion of any Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

In the event that the Company shall be required to commence an offer to Holders to purchase Notes pursuant to this Section 4.11, it shall follow the procedures specified in Section 3.09.

Section 4.12 Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided, however, that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

57

       (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have

(a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Leverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of Section 4.10; and

(b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.14 or the definition of “Permitted Liens”; and

(2) the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.11.

Section 4.13 Transactions with Affiliates.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

(a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration given or received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $15 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or CCI in its capacity as manager of the Company (other than with respect to an Affiliate Transaction involving CCI) set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.13 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the members of such Board of Directors; and

(b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration given or received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $50 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

(1) any existing employment agreement and employee benefit arrangement (including stock purchase or option agreements, deferred compensation plans, and retirement, savings or similar plans) entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any employment

58

agreements and employee benefit arrangements entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(3) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(4) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Company and customary indemnification and insurance arrangements in favor of directors, regardless of affiliation with the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) payment of Management Fees;

(6) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07 and Restricted Investments that are permitted by Section 4.08;

(7) Permitted Investments;

(8) transactions pursuant to agreements existing on the Issue Date, as in effect on the Issue Date, or as subsequently modified, supplemented, or amended, to the extent that any such modifications, supplements or amendments complied with the applicable provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 4.13; and

(9) contributions to the common equity capital of the Company or the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company.

Section 4.14 Liens.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or incur any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or trade payables on any of their respective assets, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, if such Lien is to secure such an obligation on a basis contractually senior, in any respect, to the Liens securing the Notes and if after giving effect thereto, or after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness (including Pari Passu First Priority Indebtedness), Attributable Debt or trade payables, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio would exceed 3.75 to 1.0.  The foregoing restriction shall not apply to Permitted Liens.

Section 4.15 Existence.

Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its limited liability company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries (other than Capital Corp), if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.16 Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control.

59

If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a “Change of Control Offer.”  In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuers shall offer a “Change of Control Payment” in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase.

Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall not exceed 30 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(2) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest;

(3) that, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(4) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(6) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rules) and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.16, the Issuers’ compliance with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of their obligations under this Section 4.16.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

60

          (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

         (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuers.

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The provisions described above that require the Issuers to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control shall be applicable regardless of whether or not any other provisions in this Indenture are applicable.  Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require that the Issuers repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.16, the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that a third party has made or will make the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and has purchased or will purchase all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.17 Additional Note Guarantees; Security.

The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that, after the Issue Date, directly or indirectly, Guarantees or pledges any assets to secure the payment of, or otherwise becomes an obligor with respect to, any Indebtedness under the CCO Credit Facility or clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.10 or Related Obligations:

(1) to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantees or becomes an obligor with respect to such Indebtedness, to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto providing for the guarantee of the payment of the Notes such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to a Note Guarantee, subject, however, to the Effectiveness Condition; and

(2) to the extent such Indebtedness is secured by a security interest in any assets of such Restricted Subsidiary, execute one or more Security Documents upon substantially the same terms that grant the collateral agent under the Security Documents, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, a perfected second-priority security interest in the assets of such Subsidiary that secure First Lien Obligations.

provided, however, that no such Note Guarantee and/or security need be provided if the time such Note Guarantee and security would otherwise be granted is not during a Guarantee and Pledge Availability Period, but such Note Guarantee and/or security will be required to be provided in accordance with the pro-

61

visions of this Section 4.17 on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the commencement of the next succeeding Guarantee and Pledge Availability Period.  If, following the release of any Note Guarantee or any Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, such Guarantor again guarantees, pledges any assets to secure the payment of, or otherwise becomes an obligor with respect to, the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations or any other Indebtedness under clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.10 or Related Obligations, then such Guarantor shall also guarantee the Notes and/or repledge such assets, as applicable, as described above under this Section 4.17.

In the event that additional Liens are granted by the Company or its Subsidiaries to secure obligations under the CCO Credit Facility or the Related Obligations, second-priority Liens on the same assets will be granted to secure the Notes and other Second Lien Obligations of the Company, which Liens will be subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no such second-priority Liens need be provided if the time such Lien would otherwise be granted is not during a Guarantee and Pledge Availability Period, but such second-priority Lien shall be required to be provided in accordance with the foregoing sentence on or prior to the fifth Business Day of the commencement of the next succeeding Guarantee and Pledge Availability Period.

Any Restricted Subsidiary acquired after the Issue Date that is prohibited from issuing a Note Guarantee pursuant to the restrictions contained in any debt instrument or other agreement in existence at the time such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired and not entered into in anticipation or contemplation of such acquisition shall not be required to become a Guarantor so long as any such restriction is in existence and to the extent of such restriction.

The Company shall take, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, all action to preserve and protect the security interests and Liens required to be granted by this Section 4.17 to the extent it (or its Subsidiaries) takes such action to preserve or protect similar Liens securing Indebtedness under clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.10 or Related Obligations.

Section 4.18 Payments for Consent.

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

Section 4.19 Suspension of Covenants.

During any period of time that (a) any Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the “Suspension Period”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 and clause (D) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).  The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of the commencement of a Suspension Period.

If the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the previous sentence and, subsequently, (i) one, or both, of the Rating Agencies withdraw their ratings or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below the required

62

Investment Grade Ratings or (ii) a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing under such Notes (each, a “Reversion Date”), then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants.

For purposes of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 4.07, calculations under that clause will be made with reference to the Reference Date, as set forth in that clause.  Accordingly, (x) Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period not otherwise permitted pursuant to any of clauses (1) through (9) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07 will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07; provided, however, that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reversion Date shall not be reduced below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments, but may be reduced below zero as a result of Consolidated EBITDA for the purpose of clause (iii)(a) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07 being negative, and (y) the items specified in subclauses (a) through (c) of clause (iii) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07 that occur during the Suspension Period will increase the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07.  Any Unrestricted Subsidiary that was designated as such during any Suspension Period that is a Subsidiary of the Company on the Reversion Date shall be deemed to be a Restricted Subsidiary on the corresponding Reversion Date and such designation shall not be deemed a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.

For purposes of Sections 3.09 and 4.11, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

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

(c) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;

(9) any Note Guarantee of any Guarantor that, taken together with all other such Guarantors, would be a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Note Guarantee) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes (other than, in each case, by reason of the Effectiveness Condition not being satisfied or by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Note Guarantee); and

(10) so long as the Security Documents securing the Notes have not otherwise been terminated in accordance with their terms or the Collateral as a whole has not otherwise been released from the Lien of the Security Documents securing the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof, (a) any default by the Company or any Subsidiary in the performance of its obligations under the Security Documents (after the lapse of any applicable grace periods) or this Indenture which adversely affects the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Trustee’s Lien on the Collateral or which adversely affects the condition or value of the Collateral, taken as a whole, in any material respect, (b) repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company or any Subsidiary of its respective obligations under the Security Documents securing the Notes and (c) the determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents securing the Notes are unenforceable or invalid against the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company, all of the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes by notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may declare the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

66

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 or this Indenture.

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Existing Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 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 with respect to the Notes and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, 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 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.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding 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 prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.  The Trustee may take any other action which it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such directive.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

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

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

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

(c) such Holder or Holders 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 aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

67

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 to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, 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.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10 Priorities.

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

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

68

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

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

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

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

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

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee 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.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee acquires knowledge thereof.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee’s board of directors or a committee of the Trustee’s Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

By May 15th of each year, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2).  The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

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

71

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture, the Security Documents and any other document delivered in connection with any of such agreements and its services under any of such agreements or other documents.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuers 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 obligations of the Issuers under this Section 7.07 shall survive resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

To secure the Issuers’ 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 resignation or removal of the Trustee and 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(7) or (8) 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 may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuers.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount  of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuers in writing.  The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

72

(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 Issuers 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 Issuers.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuers any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers.  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.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

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

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuers.

73

Section 7.12 Authorization of the Trustee.

Each present and future Holder by its acceptance of the Notes (a) authorizes the Trustee, on such Holder’s behalf, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, and (b) agrees that, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.12, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, (i) the Trustee shall be authorized to take (or refrain from taking) any and all actions required, authorized or contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the rights, agreements, obligations, covenants and duties of the Trustee to or otherwise on behalf of the Holders under this Indenture and the Security Documents shall be subject to the rights, agreements, obligations, covenants and duties of the Trustee under the Intercreditor Agreement to or otherwise on behalf of the Pari Passu First Priority Secured Parties and the other Pari Passu Second Priority Secured Parties.  The Trustee agrees with the Holders that the Trustee will not enter into any amendment or supplement to the Intercreditor Agreement (except to provide for the inclusion therein of Additional Pari Passu First Priority Indebtedness or Additional Pari Passu Second Priority Indebtedness to the extent contemplated by Section 10.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement) without in each case obtaining the prior consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (but without the necessity of any consent from, or notice to, the Company or any of its Affiliates).  Each present and future Holder in such capacity also by its acceptance of the Notes acknowledges and agrees that, although the Issuers and their Affiliates may not be parties thereto or bound thereby, such Holder will nonetheless be bound by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement will be directly enforceable against such Holder in its capacity as such.  None of the Issuers or any of their Affiliates will be a party to, bound by, or a beneficiary of, any of the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, nor will the parties to such Intercreditor Agreement have any contractual right of enforcement thereunder against the Issuers or any Guarantor.  In addition, the Trustee may enter into other agreements on behalf of Holders to the extent that such agreements would be permitted as amendments or supplements under Article 9 of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 8

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuers may, at the option of their respective boards of directors or the Board of Directors of CCI evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of each of the Issuers, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to the outstanding Notes and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees with respect thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees with respect thereto on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees with respect thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only

74

for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, such Note Guarantees with respect thereto and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, 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 the Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

(b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

75

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

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of reputable counsel of national standing shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of reputable counsel of national standing confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either:

(a) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing); or

(6) the Issuers must have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of reputable counsel of national standing to the effect that after the 91st day, assuming no intervening bankruptcy, that no Holder is an insider of either of the Issuers following the deposit and that such deposit would not be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction a transfer for the benefit of either Issuer in its capacity as such, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(7) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors

(8) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an opinion of reputable counsel of national standing, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

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

The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes; it being understood that the Trustee shall bear no responsibility for any such tax, fee or other charge that is by law for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

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

Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuers.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, 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 be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such

77

trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents without the consent of any Holder:

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

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

(3) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes;

(4) to provide for the assumption of the Issuers’ or any Guarantors’ obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Issuer or Guarantor pursuant to Article 5;

(5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any Holder;

(6) to, if applicable, comply with requirements of the SEC in order to, if applicable, effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or otherwise as necessary to comply with applicable law;

(7) to release Collateral or a Guarantor, as permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents;

78

(8) to add any additional assets as Collateral; or

(9) to add a Guarantor.

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

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, this Indenture (including Sections 4.11 and 4.16), the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes (other than any provision relating to the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the scheduled due dates expressed in the Notes), the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.  Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

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

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver.  Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.  However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

79

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity, or ranking, of any Note or alter the scheduled payment provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, or payment of principal or interest (other than provisions relating to Sections 4.11 and 4.16);

(3) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(4) 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 Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

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

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

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (which shall not include a payment required by Section 4.11 or 4.16);

(8) make any change in Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02; or

(9) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, in addition to the release of Collateral expressly permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents, all or any portion of the Collateral may be released under this Indenture and the Security Documents as to the Notes and any Guarantor may be released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee, with the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder 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 or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the

80

Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise.  The Issuers may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it.  In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case from each of the Issuers, stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 10.01 Security Documents.

The Company and each Guarantor will execute and comply with, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to execute and comply with, the terms of each Security Document to which such Person is, or is required to be, a party.  The Issuers shall take, and shall cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to take, and the Guarantors shall take, at their sole expense, upon request of the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Trustee on behalf of itself and the Holders and subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 4.14.

Section 10.02 Suits to Protect the Collateral.

The Trustee shall have power to institute in its name and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, and such suits and proceedings as necessary to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or under any of the Security Documents, or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee.

Section 10.03 Release of Collateral.

(a) The Trustee shall not at any time release Collateral from the Liens created by this Indenture and the Security Documents unless such release is in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents.

81

(b) In the event that (i) all of the Liens on any of the Collateral securing the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations are released for any reason, including in connection with the repayment in full of all obligations under the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations, without the refinancing thereof on a secured basis, and there is no Event of Default pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 hereof then existing (or that would result therefrom), (ii) any Collateral is released in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02, (iii) any Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with Section 4.11 hereof, or (iv) with respect to assets of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor constituting Collateral, upon release of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv), the Liens on such Collateral securing the Notes will be automatically released and terminated.  In addition, in the event of the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or discharge of the Notes pursuant to Article 13, the Liens on all Collateral securing the Notes (except for any Liens required by Article 8) will be automatically released and terminated.

(c) To evidence any such release and termination, the Company shall be entitled to such releases, terminations and other documents and instruments as the Company or any third party entitled to rely thereon may request, and the Trustee shall, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver such requested releases, terminations and other documents and instruments, with respect to items of Collateral subject to release pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above (the “Released Collateral”) upon compliance with the conditions precedent that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee the following:

(2) a notice from the Company requesting release of Released Collateral (a “Company Notice”) and specifically describing the proposed Released Collateral;

     (3) an Officers’ Certificate certifying that

(A) the release of such Released Collateral complies with the terms and conditions of this Indenture,

(B) all conditions precedent in this Indenture and the Security Documents to such release have been complied with, and

(4) an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that all conditions precedent herein and under any of the Security Documents relating to the release of such Collateral have been complied with.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture and the Security Documents, including this Section 10.03(c), (i) the release of any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with Section 4.11 in a transaction that does not constitute an Asset Sale and (ii) the exclusion of any assets from the Collateral pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.1 of the Collateral Agreement  shall be automatic and shall not be subject to the conditions precedent set forth in this Section and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company the documents and instruments contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence upon delivery to it of the Officers’ Certificate specifically describing the Released Collateral as contemplated by clause (2) of such sentence.

(d)           The release of any Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or the release, in whole or in part, of the Liens created by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to impair

82

the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents.

Section 10.04 Sufficiency of Release.

All purchasers and grantees of any property or rights purporting to be released shall be entitled to rely upon any release executed by the Trustee hereunder as sufficient for the purpose of this Indenture and as constituting a good and valid release of the property therein described from the Lien of this Indenture and of the Security Documents.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEE

Section 11.01 Unconditional Guarantee.

Each Guarantor hereby guarantees (subject to the Effectiveness Condition and the limitations set forth in Section 11.03, but otherwise unconditionally), on a senior basis jointly and severally, to each Holder of Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that:  (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, to the extent lawful, of the Notes and all other Note Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other Note Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be subject to the Effectiveness Condition and the limitations set forth in Section 11.03 and otherwise 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 with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, and 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 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 covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Note Obligations of the Company, and waives any and all defenses available to a surety (other than payment in full).  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the

83

Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, 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 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such Note Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Severability.

In case any provision of this Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.03 Limitations on Guarantors’ Liability.

(a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any 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 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, 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 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Note Guarantees (including the provisions of Section 11.01 of this Indenture) and the obligations of each Guarantor thereunder are effective and enforceable by the Holders or the Trustee acting on their behalf only if the Note Guarantees and the related provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (including those contained in Section 7 thereof) would not constitute “Subordinated Debt Financing” within the meaning of the limitations contained in the CCH II Indentures, CCI Indentures, CCOH Indentures, CCH I Indentures, CIH Indentures, Charter Holdings Indentures and future indentures of any Parent that contain substantially identical limitations (the “Effectiveness Condition”); provided, that nothing in this Section 11.03 shall affect the obligations of any Guarantor under the Security Documents regardless of whether the Effectiveness Condition is satisfied.  The Trustee is not responsible for making any determination as to the satisfaction of (or failure to satisfy) the Effectiveness Condition.

Section 11.04 Release of Guarantor.

(a) In the event that all of a Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations or other Indebtedness under clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.10 are released or discharged, in full, for any reason, including in connection with the repayment in full of all obligations under the CCO Credit Facility and the Related Obligations or such other Indebtedness, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor will also be automatically released and terminated.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no such release shall be effective against the Trustee or the Holders if a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (including as a result of the events described under

84

clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01) is in effect or continuing on the date thereof, or would result therefrom shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture as of the time of such proposed release until such time as (1) such Default or Event of Default is cured or (2) such release is consented to by the applicable Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(b) In addition to release under the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (a), a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee with respect the Notes and its obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents:

(i)   in the event of the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or discharge of the Notes;

(ii)   upon the dissolution of a Guarantor which is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture;

(iii)   in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor then held by the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such sale or disposition otherwise complies with all of the terms of this Indenture, including those of Section 4.11; or

(iv)   if such Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively.

(c) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument or instruments evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 11.04.

Section 11.05 Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Note Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors whose Note Guarantees are in effect and enforceable pursuant to Section 11.03 in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Note Guarantee.  “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding liabilities under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor at such date, and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

Section 11.06 Waiver of Subrogation.

85

Until all obligations are paid in full, each Guarantor irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 11.07 Execution of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article 11, each Guarantor agrees to execute the Note Guarantee which shall be endorsed on each Note ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.  Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Article 11 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.  Each such Note Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by one of its authorized Officers prior to the authentication of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Note Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor.  Such signatures upon the Note Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Note Guarantee, and in case any such Officer who shall have signed the Note Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer before the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Note Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor.

Section 11.08 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive it from performing its Note Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each such Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

5.           OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a)           The Issuers may, at any time and from time to time, prior to March 15, 2012, at their option, redeem the outstanding Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to

A-5

100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium.

A-6

cash and equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness of equal priority tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Indebtedness of equal priority to be purchased on a pro rata basis.  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.  Holders that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuers 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.

9.           PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10.           AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes (other than any provision relating to the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after the scheduled due dates expressed in the Notes), the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).  Without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes; to provide for the assumption of the Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Issuer or any Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 of the Indenture; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder; to, if applicable, comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or otherwise as necessary to comply with applicable law; to release Collateral or a Guarantor, as permitted under the terms of the Indenture or the Security Documents; to add any additional assets as Collateral; or to add a Guarantor.

or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100 million or more, (vi) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments which are non-appealable aggregating in excess of $100 million (net of applicable insurance which has not been denied in writing by the insurer), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days, (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (viii) any Note Guarantee of any Guarantor that, taken together with all other such Guarantors, would be a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Note Guarantee) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes (other than, in each case, by reason of the Effectiveness Condition not being satisfied or by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Note Guarantee), and (ix) so long as the Security Documents securing the Notes have not otherwise been terminated in accordance with their terms or the Collateral as a whole has not otherwise been released from the Lien of the Security Documents securing the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof, (a) any default by the Company or any Subsidiary in the performance of its obligations under the Security Documents securing the Notes (after the lapse of any applicable grace periods) or the Indenture which adversely affects the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Trustee’s Lien on the Collateral or which adversely affects the condition or value of the Collateral, taken as a whole, in any material respect, (b) repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company or any Subsidiary of its respective obligations under the Security Documents securing the Notes and (c) the determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents securing the Notes are unenforceable or invalid against the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason.  In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate 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 notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, and in such a case the Trustee will note be liable for the absence of action.  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, or premium, if any, on, the Notes.  The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture.  Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
