(3) the Fixed Charges attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses (and ownership interests therein) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded, but only to the extent that the obligations giving rise to such Fixed Charges will not be obligations of the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following the Calculation Date;

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01        Form and Dating.

(a)        General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof.

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

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

(c)        Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as Custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereafter provided.

25

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures upon receipt by the Trustee of (i) a written certificate from the Depositary, together with certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owner thereof who acquired a beneficial interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of such beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note, each bearing the Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b)(2) hereof), and (ii) an Officers’ Certificate from the Company. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

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

Section 2.02        Execution and Authentication.

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

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

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

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

The Trustee may, with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company 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 Company.

26

Section 2.03        Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company will 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 will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange, including the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and interest on the Notes. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Company may from time to time appoint any other Person as a successor Depositary and thereupon terminate any predecessor Depositary.

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

Section 2.05        Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes, including names and addresses of Holders in the possession of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

Section 2.06        Transfer and Exchange.

(a)        Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

27

(1)        the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after it obtains knowledge of such circumstances;

(2)        the Company in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to this Indenture and Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or

(3)        there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the Depositary or a Holder requests such exchange (in which case only the requested portion of the Global Note shall be exchanged).

Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof; provided that the exchange of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note for the Regulation S Permanent Global Note must comply with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 2.01(c) and Regulation S. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.06. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Sections 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, no Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall not be required to issue, Definitive Notes except under the circumstances set forth in clause (1), (2) or (3) above of this Section 2.06(a).

Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(1)        Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.

No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

(2)        All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

28

(A)         both:

(g)          Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof.

(h)           General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

(2)           No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.19, 4.20 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

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

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

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

(C)         to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

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

35

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

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

(9)           The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(i)            Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the exchange offer as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate (i) one or more Global Notes without the legend required by Section 2.06(f)(1) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes accepted for exchange in such exchange offer and (ii) Definitive Notes without the legend required by Section 2.06(f)(1) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted Definitive Notes accepted for exchange in the exchange offer. Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

Section 2.07          Replacement Notes.

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

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will 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 hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(c) hereof.

36

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

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

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company 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 will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will 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 the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10          Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11          Cancellation.

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

Section 2.12          Overdue Interest.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) from time to time on demand at the rate equal to 2.00% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate (as set forth in the caption on the face of the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A) on the Notes to the extent lawful to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case consistent with Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of overdue interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such overdue interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

37

All reference to “interest” in this Indenture and the Notes mean the initial interest rate borne by the Notes and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any increases in that rate to the extent overdue interest accrues on the Notes.

Section 2.13          Persons Deemed Owners.

The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under this Indenture and the Notes.

Section 2.14          Interest Payment Date; Record Date.

Interest on outstanding Notes will accrue at the rate of 10.000% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2015 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1 (each, a “Record Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 15 days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee may agree to) before a notice of redemption is to be mailed to Holders of Notes pursuant to Section 3.03, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

38

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

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company 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 will be in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that any unredeemed portion of a Note redeemed in part must be an authorized denomination; and provided further that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder 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 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to the Trustee and each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that, anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a Covenant Defeasance or Legal Defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 10 hereof.

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

(1)           the redemption date;

(2)           the redemption price;

(3)           If the Notes are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Notes, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

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

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

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

39

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or a shorter period as agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03 above.

Section 3.04          Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Section 3.05          Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

No later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) New York City time on the Redemption Date or, in the event of a purchase of Notes pursuant to Sections 4.19 or 4.20 hereof, the purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or properly tendered for purchase and not withdrawn is not so paid on the applicable Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable, because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, unpaid interest from the Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable, to but excluding the date on which such principal and interest is paid, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06          Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

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

(5)           that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof, so long as, in the case of Notes surrendered for repurchase in part, any portion of a Note not surrendered for repurchase is an authorized denomination;

(6)           that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to such Offer to Purchase will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business in The City of New York at least three Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Offer Period;

(8)           that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, other applicable pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee or the Registrar will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, any applicable pari passu Indebtedness) in the manner provided in Section 4.20 of this Indenture (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased and so that any unrepurchased portion of a Note repurchased in part is an authorized denomination); and

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

On or before the applicable Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis as provided in this Section 3.09 and in Section 4.20 hereof, to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof duly tendered pursuant to the applicable Offer to Purchase and not duly withdrawn and, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, any applicable pari passu Indebtedness or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes duly tendered and not duly withdrawn and, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, all applicable pari passu Indebtedness and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase (or, in the case of any Notes that are in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC or any other applicable Depositary), and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each such Holder a new Note, 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 Company (or, in the case of Global Notes, transferred by book entry) to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the applicable Offer to Purchase on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.06 hereof. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that, anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, interest on any Note or portion thereof accepted for repurchase by the Company pursuant to Section 3.09, 4.19 or 4.20 shall cease to accrue on and after the applicable purchase date unless the Company defaults in making the payment due on such Note or portion thereof, as applicable, as provided herein.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.09, or Sections 4.19 or 4.20 hereof, and, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, any pari passu Indebtedness pursuant to an applicable Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.09, Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 4.19 or Section 4.20 of this Indenture or any definitions relating thereto, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

COVENANTS

Section 4.01          Payment of Notes.

The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in this Indenture and the Notes. Principal, premium, Additional Interest, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, Additional Interest, if any, and interest then due. The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay overdue interest, if any, in the same manner, on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Notes and in this Indenture.

If a Holder of $10.0 million aggregate principal amount or more of Definitive Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company not later than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, date of maturity, redemption date or other purchase date, providing for payments to be made to a bank located in the United States, the Company will pay all principal of, and interest and premium, Additional Interest, if any, on, that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions; provided that payments of principal and premium, if any, shall be made only against surrender of the applicable Note. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of a Paying Agent unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their addresses as set forth in the register of Holders or by wire transfer.

Anything in this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Interest Payment Date, maturity date, Redemption Date, repurchase date pursuant to Sections 3.09, 4.19 or 4.20 of this Indenture or other date on which any payment of principal, premium, Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any Note is due is not a Business Date, then such payment need not be made on such date, but such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally due, and no interest or other sum shall accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the date such payment was originally due nor shall any such delay in payment constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.

Section 4.02          Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by applicable law or a court, no service of legal process may be made on the Company or any Guarantor at an office of the Trustee. Such office shall initially be at U.S. Bank National Association, Corporate Trust Services, 0000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000.

44

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

Section 4.03          Corporate Existence; Insurance; Maintenance of Properties.

(a)          Subject to Article 5 and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(1)           its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and

(2)           the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted 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 Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors or an Officer 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 would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”); provided further, that this Section 4.03 shall not prevent the sale or other disposition of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any assets of the Company or of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of Capital Stock or assets or otherwise) that does not violate Section 4.20 of this Indenture.

(b)           The Company will (1) cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (subject to ordinary wear and tear) as, in the judgment of the Company, may be necessary so that the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be properly conducted; provided that this requirement shall not prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and does not violate Section 4.20 hereof; and (2) provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self insurance) against loss or damage, that in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company is appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, products liability insurance, physical damage insurance and public liability insurance, with reputable insurers and by such Restricted Subsidiaries as are then conducting business.

Section 4.04          Compliance Certificate.

(a)           The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

45

(b)           So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within ten Business Days of any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05          Taxes.

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or other appropriate actions or if the Board of Directors or any Officer of the Company shall determine that such failure will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.06          Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company and each of the Guarantors 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, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

Section 4.07          Restricted Payments.

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1)           declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and other than dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

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

(3)           make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of regularly scheduled interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or

46

(4)           make any Restricted Investment,

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

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

(2)           the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.08(a) hereof; and

(3)           such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), and (9) of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(A)        50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter in which the date of this Indenture occurs to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

(B)         100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary since the date of this Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company); plus

(C)         to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as such after the date of this Indenture is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture; plus

(D)         to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as such after the date of this Indenture is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary or it or any other Person is merged or consolidated into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or all of the assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary or such other Person are transferred to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture in a transaction that complies with the provisions of this Indenture, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate amount of the Investments made by the Company and its Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary or such other Person, determined as of the date of such redesignation or such other transaction, as applicable, or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture; plus

47

(E)         100% of any dividends received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company after the date of this Indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period.

(b)           So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

(1)           the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend, distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2)           the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Equity Interests issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan, or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by Indebtedness from or guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the preceding paragraph;

(3)           the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from or in exchange for a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(4)           the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership, limited liability company, or other Person, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(5)           the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any current or former officer, director, consultant or employee of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement, equity incentive plan or agreement or other similar plan or agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $1.0 million in any twelve month period;

48

(6)           the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or other equity awards to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options or other equity awards and any repurchase or other acquisition of Equity Interests made in lieu of or to satisfy withholding or similar taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of stock options, warrants, equity incentives, other equity awards or other rights to acquire Equity Interests;

(7)           the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company issued after the date of this Indenture in compliance with the covenant in Section 4.08;

(8)           payments of cash, dividends, distributions, advances or other Restricted Payments by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to allow the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares upon (i) the exercise of warrants, stock options, awards under equity incentive plans or similar securities or (ii) the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of any such Person or the conversion or exchange of Indebtedness of any such Person that is convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock of such Person; and

(9)           other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million since the date of this Indenture.

(c)           The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment or, in the case of a dividend or similar distribution, on the date of declaration thereof, of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors or Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors’ or Chief Financial Officer’s determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million. For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, if a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (9) above or the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide or classify and from time to time divide, re-divide, classify and reclassify such Restricted Payment among such clauses and/or first paragraph in any manner in compliance with this covenant.

Section 4.08          Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a)           The Company will not, and will 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 will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 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 the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

49

(b)           The provisions of Section 4.08(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or issuances of Disqualified Stock, as applicable (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1)           the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (a) $20.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all permanent commitment reductions with respect to any revolving credit borrowings under a Credit Facility that have been made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture and (b) 19.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, but in no event more than $30.0 million; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness under such Credit Facilities that is not revolving credit borrowings exceed $8.0 million;

(2)           the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;

(3)           the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture (but not any Additional Notes for the avoidance of doubt) and the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

(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 design, construction, installation or improvement of, or to lease property, plant, equipment or other assets (including Capital Stock) used in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) at any time outstanding not to exceed $5.0 million;

(5)           Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) of (x) the Company or any Guarantor incurred or issued to finance an acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of another Person (whether through merger, consolidation, the direct purchase of such assets or the acquisition of Capital Stock of the person owning such assets) or (y) Persons that are acquired by the Company or a Guarantor; provided that after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (5), and such acquisition, merger or consolidation (in each case with such pro forma adjustments as are contemplated by the definition of “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”), the Company would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (5);

(6)           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 renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.08(a) hereof or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (15) or (16) of this Section 4.08(b);

50

(7)           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 any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, in the case of a Guarantor; and

(B)       any (i) 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, or (ii) sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (7);

(8)           the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that any:

(A)        subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

(B)        sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (8);

(9)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

(10)         the Guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of Section 4.08; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Note Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to other Indebtedness of the Guarantor to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(11)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, insurance contracts, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance and surety bonds and other similar guarantees of obligations not constituting Indebtedness in the ordinary course of business;

(12)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days following receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice or such event;

51

(13)         any obligation arising from agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn outs, or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, assets acquired by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and any Person that, as a result of such transaction, becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) in a transaction permitted by this Indenture, provided the maximum liability in respect of all such Indebtedness incurred in connection with a disposition shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such noncash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(14)         Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes or to effect satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture;

(15)         the incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (15), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (15), not to exceed $8.0 million (or the equivalent thereof, measured at the time of each incurrence, in applicable foreign currency); and

(16)         the incurrence by the Company or any of the Guarantors of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed $10.0 million.

The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (16) appearing above in this Section 4.08(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a), the Company will be permitted to classify and divide such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and later reclassify and redivide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness among any one or more of such clauses and/or Section 4.08(a), in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date of this Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest or dividends on Disqualified Stock, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Disqualified Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges (to the extent required by the definition of such term) of the Company as accrued. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. In determining the amount of Indebtedness outstanding, the outstanding amount of any particular Indebtedness of any Person shall be counted only once and any obligation of such person or any other Person under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded so long as it is permitted to be incurred by the Person or Persons incurring such obligation.

52

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

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

(2)           with respect to contingent obligations, the maximum liability upon the occurrences of the contingency giving rise to the obligation;

(3)           with respect to Hedging Obligations, the net amount payable, if any, by the specified Persons if such Hedging Obligations terminated at that time due to default by such Person;

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

(A)        the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination;

(B)         the amount of such Indebtedness of the other Person;

(5)           the maximum amount the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would become obligated to pay upon the maturity of, or pursuant to any mandatory redemption provisions of, such Disqualified Stock, in the case of any Disqualified Stock;

(6)           the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP, in the case of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof; and

(7)           the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

Section 4.09          Liens.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness or trade payables on any asset or property now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

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

(10)         Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.09 that limit the right to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(11)         provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, limited liability company agreements, merger agreements, acquisition agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements or restrictions entered into in connection with Investments permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be made), which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements pending the disposition or transfer of such assets; provided that such disposition or transfer complies with Section 4.20;

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

55

(2)           the Company delivers to the Trustee:

Section 4.13          [Reserved]

Section 4.14          Business Activities.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) after the date of this Indenture, then the Company will:

Section 4.16          Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a)           The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

(1)           the Company could make the Restricted Payment which is deemed to occur upon such designation as described in, and the amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.07 equal to the appropriate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary at the time of such designation;

(2)           such Restricted Subsidiary meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(3)           the designation would not constitute or cause (with or without the passage of time) a Default or Event of Default or no Default or Event of Default would be in existence immediately following such designation; and

57

(4)           the Company delivers to the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions.

(b)           If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of such designation of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Company.

(c)           If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, then such Subsidiary will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.08, the Company will be in default under Section 4.08.

(d)           The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if:

(1)           the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries could incur the Indebtedness which is deemed to be incurred upon such designation under Section 4.08, equal to the total Indebtedness of such Subsidiary calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period following such designation;

(2)           the designation would not constitute or cause a Default or Event of Default; and

(3)           the Company delivers to the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions, including the incurrence of Indebtedness under Section 4.08.

Section 4.17          Payments for Consent.

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

Section 4.18          Reports.

(a)           Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Trustee or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, including any permitted extensions thereof:

58

(1)           all quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K that would be required to be filed with the SEC on such forms if the Company were required to file such reports; and

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

(b)           All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants. In addition, the Company will post the reports on its website within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports, including any permitted extensions thereof, and, following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) above with the SEC for public availability within those time periods (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing).

(c)           If, at any time after consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in Section 4.18(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified in Section 4.18(a) unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in Section 4.18(a) on its website within the time periods, including any permitted extensions thereof, that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if at any time any such reports are not filed by the Company, or are not accepted by the SEC for any reason, for inclusion on the SEC’s XXXXX service (or any successor thereto), the Company will post such reports on a website no later than the date the Company is required to provide those reports to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and maintain such posting for so long as any Notes remain outstanding. Access to such reports on such website may be subject to a confidentiality acknowledgment; provided, that no other conditions, including password protection, may be imposed on access to such reports other than a representation by the Person accessing such reports that it is the Trustee, a Holder, a beneficial owner of the Notes, a bona fide prospective investor, a securities analyst or a market maker.

(d)           The Company will hold a quarterly conference call for the Holders and securities analysts to discuss such financial information no later than ten business days after distribution of such financial information.

(e)           If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will 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.

(f)           In addition, the Company shall, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is not required to file periodic reports with the SEC the reports required by this Section 4.18, it will furnish to the Holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 4.19          Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a)           Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 4.19. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1)           that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.19 and that all Notes duly tendered will be accepted for payment and

(2)           the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3)           that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4)           that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5)           that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer the Notes by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business in The City of New York on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business in The City of New York on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a 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

(7)           that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will 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 and integral multiples of $1,000.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those 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 Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Section 4.19 by virtue of such compliance.

60

(b)           On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1)           accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn;

(2)           deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and

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

(c)           The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, in the case of any Notes that are in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC or any other applicable Depositary), and the Company will execute and the Trustee will 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 that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d)           The provisions described above in this Section 4.19 that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

(e)           The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes 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 Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

Section 4.20          Asset Sales.

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)           the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2)           at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, to the extent that any disposition in such Asset Sale was of Collateral, any consideration received is pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents promptly after receipt of such non-cash consideration by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent required by and, in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents.

61

For purposes of this Section 4.20(a), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A)       any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet (or, if incurred after the date of such balance sheet, as would have been shown on such consolidated balance sheet had they been incurred on or prior to its date), of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or any other Person, other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies it against further liability;

(B)        any securities, notes, or other obligations received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from such transferee that are, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

(C)        any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of Section 4.20(b); and

(b)           Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds:

(1)           to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility; provided that, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto in an amount equal to the principal amount so repaid;

(2)           to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Permitted Business or one or more Persons primarily engaged in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Permitted Business or Person, as the case may be, is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(3)           to make a capital expenditure; or

(4)           to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; provided that the assets (including Voting Stock) acquired with the Net Cash Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents promptly after receipt of such assets by the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent required by and in accordance with the Security Documents.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds to temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided above in this Section 4.20(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $7.5 million, the Company will, within five days thereof, make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum amount of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds (after deducting therefrom all fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith).

62

(c)           The offer price for the Notes in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and will be payable in cash.

(d)           If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

(e)           If the sum of the aggregate amount of principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer plus the aggregate amount of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Asset Sale Offer and the purchase, prepayment or redemption of any such pari passu Indebtedness exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee or the Registrar will, after deducting from such Excess Proceeds an amount equal to all such fees and expenses, select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis with any such pari passu Indebtedness (except that any Notes represented in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or the applicable Depositary, as the case may be, or its nominee may require), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (including, amounts required to be paid in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any), with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate so that Notes are repurchased in denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof and so that any such pari passu Indebtedness issued in specified authorized denominations is only repurchased in such authorized denominations or so that any unrepurchased portion of a Note or such pari passu Indebtedness that is repurchased in part is an authorized denomination. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(f)           The Company will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or suffer to exist any agreement (other than any agreement governing Credit Facilities for Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.08 that would place any restriction of any kind (other than pursuant to law or regulation) on the ability of the Company to make an Asset Sale Offer.

(g)           The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes and any pari passu Indebtedness pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

65

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

(9)         the Liens created by the Security Documents shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection by filing, registration, recordation or possession is required by this Indenture or the Security Documents), or, except for expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the applicable Security Document, any of the Security Documents shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect (in each case, except in accordance with the terms thereof or of this Indenture) or any material provisions of the Security Documents shall be unenforceable against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a party thereto, if any such case, such default continues for 60 days after notice, or the enforceability of the Security Documents shall be contested by the Company or any Guarantor;

(C)         orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days.

Section 6.02         Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Section 6.03         Other Remedies.

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

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

67

Section 6.04         Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, including Additional Interest, or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase pursuant to Sections 4.19 or 4.20 of this Indenture). Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising from any such Default 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.

Subject to Section 7.02(f), Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to the exceptions set forth in the next sentence. However, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any.

Section 6.06         Limitation on Suits.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

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

(3)         such holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

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

68

Section 6.07         Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and any Additional 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; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.08         Collection Suit by Trustee or Noteholder Collateral Agent.

If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent may recover judgment (a) in its own name, and (b)(1) in the case of the Trustee, as trustee of an express trust or (2) in the case of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as Noteholder Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders, in each case against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and any Additional Interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel. Any amounts recovered by the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall be promptly paid by it to the Trustee.

Section 6.09         Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

69

Section 6.10         Priorities.

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

First: to the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation and expenses incurred, and all reasonable disbursements and advances made, by the Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Company 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 of Notes 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 or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, 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, 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 or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, as the case may be, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 7
TRUSTEE

Section 7.01         Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

70

(2)         in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculation or other facts stated therein.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(g)          Subject to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be liable for the failure to perform its duties and obligations hereunder to the extent such failure is directly caused by the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 7.02         Rights of Trustee.

(a)          The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

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

71

(d)          The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

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

(f)          Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(a) of this Indenture, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any losses, liabilities and expenses that are incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)          The right of the Trustee or an Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty.

(h)          In no event shall the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or an Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage, as the case may be, of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or Agent, as the case may be, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

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 Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest within the meaning of TIA Section 310(b), (other than a conflicting interest arising under the provisions of subparagraph (1) of TIA Section 310(b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subclauses (1)(A), (B) and (C) and the proviso to such subparagraph (1)) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. (For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that no "conflicting interest" shall arise under TIA Section 310(b) because the Trustee is trustee under another Indenture under which the Company or any Guarantor is an obligor.) Any Agent may do the same (subject to the above limitations and exclusions) with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04         Trustee’s Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05         Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or if discovered later than 90 days, promptly after such discovery. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if it determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

72

Section 7.06         Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

(a)          Within 60 days after each December 15 commencing December 15, 2014, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (excluding TIA § 313(a)(5) and (6)) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c)(1) and (3).

(b)          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company.

Section 7.07         Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)          The Company will pay to the Trustee, Noteholder Collateral Agent, Paying Agent and Registrar (each, an “Indemnified Party”) reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and the Security Documents and services hereunder and thereunder as agreed to in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Party 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 may include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s agents and counsel.

(b)          The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify each Indemnified Party and their respective employees, officers and directors against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or the Security Documents, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable compensation and disbursement of its agents and counsel) of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct. Each Indemnified Party will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their Obligations hereunder or under the Security Documents. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the applicable Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense. Each Indemnified Party may have separate legal counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such legal counsel; provided that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal counsel for all of the Indemnified Parties in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings, which legal counsel shall be selected by the Trustee. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without the Company's consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

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

73

(d)          To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment Obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Noteholder Collateral Agent will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money, Collateral or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, or the Noteholder Collateral Agent in its capacity as Noteholder Collateral Agent, except, in the case of the Trustee, such funds that are held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on particular Notes pursuant to Article 8 or 10 hereof. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e)          When an Indemnified Party incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(10) or (11) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Code.

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

Section 7.08         Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

(4)         the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

74

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

Section 7.09         Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

Section 7.10         Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or entity 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 $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b), other than the provisions of subparagraph (1) of TIA Section 310(b) (including subclauses (A), (B), and (C) and of the proviso to such subparagraph (1)) and other than the provisions of the penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b) providing for an application to the SEC. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that no “conflicting interest” shall arise under TIA Section 310(b) because the Trustee is trustee under another indenture.

Section 7.11         Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 7.12         Trustee in Other Capacities; Noteholder Collateral Agent and Paying Agent.

References to the Trustee in Sections 7.01(b), (c)(2), (d), (e), (f), and (g). 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.07, and 7.08 shall be understood to include the Trustee when acting in its other capacities under this Indenture, including, without limitation, as Paying Agent and Noteholder Collateral Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, such Sections shall be read to apply to the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Security Documents, mutatis mutandis, in addition to this Indenture. The privileges, rights, indemnities, immunities and exculpatory provisions contained in this Indenture shall apply to the Trustee, whenever it is acting under the Notes Documents.

ARTICLE 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01         Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

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

Section 8.02         Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

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

(1)         the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, but solely from the trust referred to in Section 8.05 hereof;

(2)         the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.10 and 4.02 hereof;

(3)         the Company’s 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;

(4)         the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture, and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(5)         this Article 8.

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

76

Section 8.03         Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.09, 4.03, and 4.05 and Sections 4.07 through and including 4.20 hereof, and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof or otherwise constitute a default under this Indenture, but, except as specified above and in the immediately following sentence, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04         Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

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

(2)         in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes 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 Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes 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 has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

77

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

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

(7)         the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which counsel may rely on an Officers' Certificate as to matters of fact), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Upon any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, all of the Collateral shall be released from all Liens arising under the Security Documents and this Indenture and the Security Documents shall automatically terminate.

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

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will 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 Company 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, interest and Additional Interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

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

Section 8.06         Repayment to Company.

Subject to applicable abandoned property laws, any money deposited (whether under this Article 8, Section 4.01 or any other provision of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents) with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

78

Section 8.07         Reinstatement.

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

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee and, if any amendment or supplement relates to any Security Document, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, and the Security Documents:

(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 the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;

(4)         to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder in any material respect;

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

(6)          to conform the text of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision appearing under the caption “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such Description of Notes was intended to be a substantially verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, which intent may be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate to that effect delivered to the Trustee;

79

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

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

(9)         to secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.09 hereof or otherwise, including, without limitation, entering into any amendment or waiver, or entering into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional assets or property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, or as required by applicable laws to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with applicable laws;

(10)        to add any additional guarantees of the Notes or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents and the release of such Guarantor’s Collateral from the Liens arising under this Indenture and the Security Documents, in each case as provided in this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(11)        to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under this Indenture of a successor trustee or a successor Noteholder Collateral Agent;

(12)        to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; or

(13)        to release Collateral when permitted or required by this Indenture or the Security Documents.

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

Section 9.02         With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided in Section 9.01 and in the next three succeeding paragraphs of this Section 9.02, this 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 Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or 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 voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

80

Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver 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;

(2)         reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except provisions relating to minimum notice of redemption or Sections 3.09, 4.19 and 4.20 hereof);

(3)         reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including Additional Interest and default interest, on any Note;

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

(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 of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, or premium, on the Notes;

(7)         waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.19 or 4.20 hereof);

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

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

In addition, the entering into the Intercreditor Agreement by the Company and the Guarantors on terms that are materially worse for the Noteholder Collateral Agent, when, taken as a whole, compared to those summarized in the Offering Memorandum under “Description of Notes—Security” will require the consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

81

In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Documents that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03         [Reserved]

Section 9.04         Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

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 Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.06         Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee and, if required by this Article 9, the Noteholder Collateral Agent will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 10.01         Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

(1)         either:

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

82

(B)         all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

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

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

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

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which counsel may rely on an Officers' Certificate as to matters of fact) to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Sections 10.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Upon any such satisfaction and discharge, all of the Collateral shall be released from all Liens arising under the Security Documents and this Indenture and the Security Documents shall automatically terminate.

Section 10.02         Application of Trust Money.

83

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Company or any Guarantor has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; and provided, further, that no Default or Event of Default under or as a result of any of the provisions of this Indenture that have been so revived or reinstated shall be deemed to have occurred during the 90 days immediately following the date of such reinstatement.

ARTICLE 11

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

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

Section 11.02         Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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

Section 11.03         Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be signed by an Officer of such Guarantor (by manual or facsimile signature) and endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

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

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

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

In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) after the Issue Date, the Company will, if required by Section 4.15 hereof, cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable; provided that the Company shall not be required to cause any such new Domestic Subsidiary to execute a notation of its Guarantee on any Notes that were issued prior to the time that such Domestic Subsidiary became a Guarantor.

Section 11.04         Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

(2)         either (A) (i) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (the “Successor Guarantor”), if other than such Guarantor, unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, appropriate amendments to the Security Documents and an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement; (ii) the Successor Guarantor causes such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, delivered, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens under the applicable Security Documents on the Collateral owned by or transferred to the Successor Guarantor, together with such financing statements (or other filings) as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or other filings or registrations under the Uniform Commercial Code, filings or registrations under any other registries or the applicable law of any other relevant jurisdiction; (iii) the Collateral owned by or transferred to the Successor Guarantor shall: (1) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents, (2) be subject to Liens in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent for the benefit of the secured parties and (3) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens; and (iv) the property and assets of the Person which is merged or consolidated with or into the Successor Guarantor, to the extent that they are property or assets of the types which would constitute Collateral under the applicable Security Documents, shall be treated as after-acquired property and the Successor Guarantor shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Liens under the applicable Security Documents all in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture and the Security Documents; or (B) the Net Proceeds, if any, of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents,

86

provided, however, that the transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of, directly or indirectly, the Guarantors as a whole will also be governed by Article 5 and may be subject to Section 4.19 hereof.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and, if the Successor Person was not immediately prior to such transaction a Guarantor, upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the predecessor Guarantor’s obligations under the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the predecessor Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the predecessor Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee (it being understood and agreed that such successor Person need not execute a notation of its Guarantee on Notes issued prior to the time that it became a Guarantor). All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes or the Security Documents will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 11.05         Releases.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(1)         in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.20 hereof;

(2)         in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor owned by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.20 hereof and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(3)         if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

87

(4)         upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 10 hereof; or

(5)         upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

If the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor is released, then such Guarantor will automatically be released from all of its Obligations under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement and all Collateral of such Guarantor will be released from any Liens arising under this Indenture or the Security Documents. Any Guarantor not released from its Obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.05 will, subject to Section 11.02, remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other Obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

(a) grant Liens on such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets constituting the type that is Collateral) in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Notes (and, to the extent such grant would require the execution and delivery of a Security Document, the Company or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver such Security Document on substantially the same terms as the Security Documents covering Collateral owned by the Company or a Guarantor on the Issue Date including, with respect to personal property, execution of a supplement to the Security Agreement and, with respect to fee-owned real property having a Fair Market Value in excess of $5.0 million, execution of a new mortgage or an amendment to an existing mortgage);

92

(c) to the extent required by the Security Documents, cause the Lien granted in such Security Document to be duly perfected to the same extent and with the same priority as the Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) granted on Collateral owned by the Company or a Guarantor on the Issue Date are perfected (including, with respect to Equity Interests of a Subsidiary or intercompany debt, perfection by control to the extent required by the applicable Security Document and, to the extent applicable to assets and property not constituting Excluded Property, taking such action as may be required under the terms of the Security Document to be taken under the laws of any applicable foreign jurisdiction to create, perfect and maintain the requisite priority of such Lien under such laws, including, to the extent so required, entering into security documentation governed by foreign law).

In addition, to the extent any disposition of assets or property in an Asset Sale is of Collateral, any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will be pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents as soon as reasonably practicable after such sale, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Security Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Guarantors shall have discretion to determine not to obtain or perfect a security interest in non-U.S. assets or property under the circumstances described in Section 3.7 of the Security Agreement.

(b)           Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Company nor any Guarantor will take or omit to take any action which would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the Liens in favor of the Noteholder Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted or required by the Security Documents or this Indenture.

(c) The Company shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at their sole cost and expense, (i) execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments and take all further action as the Noteholder Collateral Agent may reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Security Documents; and (ii) file any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents.

(d) The Company will, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as soon as reasonably practicable, following the Issue Date, terminate and release all Liens on assets located outside the United States (other than Liens securing intercompany obligations between any Foreign Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Company or any Guarantor, on the other hand), or on any Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiaries owned by the Company or any Guarantor, in each case that secured the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the credit agreement among the Company, the subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto and MC Admin Co LLC, as administrative agent, dated as of November 28, 2012, as amended.

Section 12.07         Release of Liens.

(2)         if any Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (including by virtue of such Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary), that Guarantor’s assets will also be released from the Liens securing its Note Guarantee and its other Obligations under this Indenture, its Note Guarantees and the Security Documents.

(3)         if required in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document;

(b)          Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and, if applicable, the Trustee, shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents, including the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that (except for dispositions excluded from the definition of the term “Asset Sale”) the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, executes and delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Noteholder Collateral Agent certifying that the release of such Collateral is permitted under the terms of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to such release have been satisfied.

94

(c)          The release of any Collateral from the terms of the Security Documents pursuant to this Section 12.07 shall not be deemed to impair the Collateral under the Notes Documents in contravention of the provisions thereof and hereof.

Section 12.08         Form and Sufficiency of Release.

In the event that the Company or any Guarantor has sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of or proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Collateral that may be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantor to any Person other than the Company or a Guarantor in accordance with the Notes Documents, and the Company or any Guarantor requests in writing that the Noteholder Collateral Agent and, if applicable, the Trustee furnish a written disclaimer, release or quit-claim of any interest in such property under the Notes Documents, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and, if applicable, the Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company or such Guarantor (in proper form prepared by the Company or such Guarantor) such an instrument promptly after satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein for delivery of any such release.

[Back of Note]

10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1)         Interest. SAExploration Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 10.000% per annum, from July 2, 2014 until July 15, 2019. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2015. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace period), from time to time on demand at a rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate set forth in the caption on the face of this Note to the Person who is the Holder of this Note on a subsequent special record date, all as provided in the Indenture. All reference to “interest” in this Note and the Indenture mean the initial interest rate borne by the Notes and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any increases in that rate to the extent overdue interest accrues on the Notes (unless the Indenture states otherwise). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Anything in this Note, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Interest Payment Date, maturity date, Redemption Date, repurchase date pursuant to Sections 3.09, 4.19 or 4.20 of the Indenture or other date on which any payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on this Note is due is not a Business Date, then such payment need not be made on such date, but such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally due, and no interest or other sum shall accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the date such payment was originally due nor shall any such delay in payment constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture.

(2)         Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on January 1 or July 1, as the case may be, next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are transferred or exchanged after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to default and overdue interest and except that interest payable on redemption of any Note on a Redemption Date that is not an Interest Payment Date, or any repurchase of any Note on a repurchase date pursuant to Sections 3.09, 4.19 or 4.20 of the Indenture that is not an Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the Persons to whom such redemption price or repurchase price, as the case may be, is payable. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that (1) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium on, all Global Notes (unless otherwise required by the applicable Depositary). In addition, if a Holder of $10.0 million aggregate principal amount or more of Definitive Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company not later than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, date of maturity, redemption date or other purchase date, providing for payments to be made to a bank located in the United States, the Company will pay all principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions; provided that payments of principal and premium, if any, shall be made only against surrender of the applicable Note. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The principal of the Notes shall be payable only upon surrender of any Note at the specified offices of the Paying Agent. If the due date for payment of the principal in respect of any Note is not a Business Day at the place in which it is presented for payment, the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at such place.

A-4

(3)         Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity; provided no Event of Default is continuing.

(4)         Indenture, Registration Rights Agreement and Security Documents. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 2, 2014 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Holders are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Security Documents.

(5)         Ranking. This Note shall constitute a senior obligation of the Company and the Obligation of the Company under the Indenture and this Note shall be secured pursuant to the Security Documents and will be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement from and after such time as the Noteholder Collateral Agent and any other parties thereto shall have entered into the Intercreditor Agreement.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

A-5

(b)  If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates an Asset Sale, the Company in circumstances specified in the Indenture may be required to commence an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets pursuant to Section 4.20 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds so long as they exceed $7.5 million (less the aggregate amount of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Asset Sale Offer and any purchase, prepayment or redemption of any such pari passu Indebtedness) at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture. Holders of Notes that are the subject of such an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company 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” attached to the Notes.

(9)         Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by or on behalf of the Company at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the Trustee and each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a Covenant Defeasance or Legal Defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 10 thereof. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in principal amount (provided that any unredeemed portion of any Note must be in a principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

(10)        Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a Record Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(11)        Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only Holders have rights under the Indenture and the Notes.

(12)        Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, 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, voting as a single class.

A-6

(13)        Defaults and Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
