Stock that would constitute Disqualified Stock solely because the holders of the Capital Stock have
the right to require the Company to repurchase such Capital Stock upon the occurrence of a change

Outstanding from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of the 2019
Notes of the applicable series then Outstanding represented thereby may from time to time be

Section 2.06. Execution, Authentication and Delivery, and Dating. The 2019 Notes shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by any two of its Officers under its corporate seal reproduced
thereon and attested by its Secretary or any one of its Assistant Secretaries. Pursuant to Section
8.03 hereof, each 2019 Note Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the applicable Guarantor by
its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the 2019
Notes and the 2019 Note Guarantees may be manual or facsimile. The seal of the Company may be in
the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted, or otherwise reproduced
on the 2019 Notes. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the
seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the 2019 Notes that
have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
Unless otherwise provided in the 2019 Notes or the 2019 Note Guarantees, all of the 2019 Notes
and the 2019 Note Guarantees shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Any of the 2019 Notes or the 2019 Note Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company or any Guarantor shall bind
the Company and such Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note
Guarantees or did not hold such offices at the date of such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture, the Company may deliver the 2019 Notes and the 2019 Note Guarantees to the Trustee for
authentication, together with an Authentication Order with respect to such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note
Guarantees, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of such Authentication Order, in accordance with
procedures acceptable to the Trustee set forth in the Authentication Order, and subject to the
provisions hereof and of the Base Indenture, authenticate and deliver such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note
Guarantees to such recipients as may be specified from time to time pursuant to such Authentication
Order. The material terms of such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees shall be determinable by
reference to such Authentication Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such
Authentication Order may authorize authentication and delivery of such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note
Guarantees pursuant to oral instructions from the Company, any Guarantor or any duly authorized
agent of the Company or such Guarantor, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing.
In authenticating such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Supplemental Indenture in relation to such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note
Guarantees, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to the provisions of Section
6.05 of the Base Indenture) shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(1) an Officers’ Certificate, certifying as to the authorized forms and terms of the 2019
Notes and the 2019 Note Guarantees; and
(2) an Opinion of Counsel, stating that:
(a) the forms and terms of such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees have been established by
and in conformity with the provisions of the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture;
provided that if all such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees are not to be issued at the same
time, such Opinion of Counsel may state that such terms will be established in conformity with the
provisions of the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, subject to any conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and
-23-
(b) such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization, and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity;
provided, however, that if all of the 2019 Notes and the 2019 Note Guarantees issuable by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall
not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required
pursuant to this paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of such 2019 Notes or 2019
Note Guarantees if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon
original issuance of such 2019 Notes or 2019 Note Guarantees to be issued. After the original
issuance of such 2019 Notes or 2019 Note Guarantees to be issued, any separate request by the
Company that the Trustee authenticate such 2019 Notes or 2019 Note Guarantees for original issuance
will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that it is in compliance with all conditions
precedent provided for in the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture relating to the
authentication and delivery of such 2019 Notes and 2019 Note Guarantees.
None of the 2019 Notes or the 2019 Note Guarantees shall be entitled to any benefit under the
Base Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless
there appears on such 2019 Notes or 2019 Note Guarantees a certificate of authentication executed
by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any of the
2019 Notes or the 2019 Note Guarantees shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such 2019 Notes or 2019 Note Guarantees have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.07. CUSIP Number. The Company in issuing the 2019 Notes may use Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures (“CUSIP”) numbers (if then generally in use), and, if
so, the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the 2019 Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the 2019 Notes, and
any such redemption will not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The
Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.
Section 2.08. Issuance of Additional 2019 Notes. The Company will be entitled, upon delivery
of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to issue Additional 2019 Notes under this
Supplemental Indenture which will have identical terms as the Initial 2019 Notes issued on the date
hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. The Initial 2019 Notes
issued on the date hereof and any Additional 2019 Notes issued will be treated as a single class
for all purposes under this Supplemental Indenture. With respect to any Additional 2019 Notes, the
Company will set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each which
will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional 2019 Notes to be authenticated and
delivered pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture; and
(b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional 2019 Notes.

2019 Note Guarantees
2019 Note Guarantees
Section 8.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article 8, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly
and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of the 2019 Notes authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the
validity and enforceability of this Supplemental Indenture, the 2019 Notes and the obligations of
the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
(a) the principal of and interest on the 2019 Notes will be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, mandatory repurchase or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the 2019 Notes, if any, if lawful, and all
other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be
promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any 2019 Notes or any of such
other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with
the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption,
mandatory repurchase or otherwise.
-34-
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of
collection.
The Guarantors agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of
the validity, regularity or enforceability of the 2019 Notes or this Supplemental Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the 2019 Notes
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company,
any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of any Guarantor. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the
Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all
demands whatsoever and covenant that this 2019 Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the 2019 Notes and this Supplemental
Indenture.
If any Holder 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 or
such Holder, this 2019 Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in
full force and effect.
Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to
the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture
or Section 3.01 hereof for the purposes of this 2019 Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as
provided in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture or Section 3.01 hereof, such obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of
this 2019 Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under the 2019 Note Guarantee.
Section 8.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of
2019 Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the 2019
Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any
similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any 2019 Note Guarantee. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of any Guarantor 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 8, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its 2019 Note Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
-35-
Section 8.03. Execution and Delivery of 2019 Note Guarantee. To evidence its 2019 Note
Guarantee set forth in Section 8.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such 2019 Note
Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit B shall be endorsed by an Officer of such
Guarantor on each 2019 Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Supplemental
Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one of its Vice
Presidents.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its 2019 Note Guarantee as set forth in Section 8.01 shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each 2019 Note a notation
of such 2019 Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Supplemental Indenture or on the 2019 Note Guarantee
no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the 2019 Note on which a 2019
Note Guarantee is endorsed, the 2019 Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any 2019 Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of the 2019 Note Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture
on behalf of the Guarantors.
In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries subsequent to the date
of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute a joinder to
this Supplemental Indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto and 2019 Note Guarantees
in accordance with this Article 8, to the extent applicable.
Section 8.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.05, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:
(a) subject to Section 8.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a
Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant
to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or by
operation of law, under the 2019 Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the 2019 Note Guarantee on
the terms set forth herein or therein; and
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
exists.
-36-
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the
successor Person, by operation of law or by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the 2019 Note Guarantee endorsed upon the 2019
Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Supplemental Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and
be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a
Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the 2019 Note
Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the 2019 Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the 2019 Note Guarantees so
issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Supplemental Indenture
as the 2019 Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Supplemental Indenture as though all of such 2019 Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of
the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 8 and 10 of the Base Indenture and Articles 5 and 6 hereof,
and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Supplemental Indenture or
in any of the 2019 Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a
Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.
Section 8.05. Releases.
A Guarantor will be released and relieved of its obligations under the 2019 Note Guarantee
upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this Section 8.05.
(a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way
of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock
of such Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
such transactions) a Subsidiary of the Company if, after giving effect to such transaction, neither
the Person acquiring such Capital Stock nor such Guarantor has outstanding or guarantees any
Specified Indebtedness, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of
merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the
corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of its obligations
under its 2019 Note Guarantee.
(b) In the event the Company designates such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
accordance with this Supplemental Indenture, such Guarantor shall be released and relieved of its
obligations under its 2019 Note Guarantee.
(c) In the event such Guarantor shall cease (or simultaneously with the release of its
Guarantee hereunder shall cease) to have outstanding or guarantee any Specified Indebtedness, such
Guarantor shall be released and relieved of its obligations under its 2019 Note Guarantee.
-37-
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance
with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, or upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee
of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the applicable Guarantor has ceased (or
simultaneously with the release of its 2019 Note Guarantee hereunder shall cease) to have
outstanding or guarantee any Specified Indebtedness or that the applicable Guarantor has been
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental
Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the
release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its 2019 Note Guarantee.
Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its 2019 Note Guarantee shall remain
liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the 2019 Notes and for the other
obligations of any Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture as provided in this Article.

(Back of 2019 Note)
4.875% Senior Notes due 2019
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Supplemental Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this 2019 Note at 4.875% per annum from the
date hereof until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on May 15 and November 15
of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each
an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the 2019 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided
that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this 2019 Note is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided,
further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be May 15, 2010. The Company will pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal
at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the 2019 Notes to the extent lawful; it
will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the 2019 Notes (except
defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2019 Notes at the close of
business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such 2019
Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 3.07 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the 2019 Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the
Paying Agent and Registrar within the City of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or,
at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the
2019 Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of 2019 Notes;
provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to 2019 Notes, the
Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee, will be required to be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof.
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.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee
under the Indenture (as defined below), 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.
A-3
4. Indenture. This 2019 Note is one of a duly authenticated series of securities of
the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base
Indenture”), dated as of November 19, 2009, between the Company and the Trustee, as
supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and,
together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of November 19, 2009, among the
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the 2019 Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The 2019 Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this 2019 Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions
of this 2019 Note will govern and be controlling. The Company will be entitled to issue Additional
2019 Notes pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Supplemental Indenture.
5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Company shall have the option to redeem the 2019
Notes, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as
percentage of principal amount) equal to the greater of:
(i) 100% of the principal amount thereof; or
(ii) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate;
in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date,
interest will cease to accrue on the 2019 Notes or portion thereof called for redemption.
(b) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Section 11.01 through Section 11.07 of the Base Indenture.
6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Paragraph 7 below, the Company shall
not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2019
Notes.
7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the 2019 Notes as described
in Paragraph 5 hereof within 60 days after the Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder
shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s 2019 Notes (the “Change of Control
Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights
of the Holders of the 2019 Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control
Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after
public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first class mail,
a notice to each Holder of the 2019 Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern
the terms of the Change of Control Offer, describing
the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and
setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by Section 5.04 of
the Supplemental Indenture.
A-4

for the protection of the Holders of the 2019 Notes as the Company and the Trustee shall consider
to be for the protection of the Holders of the 2019 Notes or to surrender any right or power
therein conferred upon the Company; or
(iii) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision therein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision therein or in any supplemental indenture thereto, or to make
any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Supplemental Indenture
that do not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the 2019 Notes in any material
respect; or
(iv) to add to the Supplemental Indenture such provisions as may be expressly permitted by the

administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to Section 6.11 of the
Base Indenture; or
(ix) to add any additional Events of Default in respect of the 2019 Notes; or
(x) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of
the Supplemental Indenture under the TIA; or
(xi) to conform the text of the Supplemental Indenture, the 2019 Notes or the 2019 Note
Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Prospectus
Supplement dated November 16, 2009, relating to the initial offering of the 2019 Notes, to the
extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation
of a provision of the Supplemental Indenture, the 2019 Notes or the Guarantees; or
(xii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a joinder to the Supplemental Indenture and/or a 2019
Note Guarantee with respect to the 2019 Notes.

the breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such
default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the 2019 Notes, a written notice specifying such default or breach and
requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

Significant Subsidiary or such group of Restricted Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent under any
other applicable Federal or State law, or the entry of a decree or order approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of
the Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, under Bankruptcy Law or any
other applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or
any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, or of any substantial part of their respective property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect
for a period of 90 consecutive days; or
(v) the consent by the Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, to the
institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by them of a petition
or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable
Federal or State law, or the consent by them to the filing of any such petition or to the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official)
of the Company, the Significant Subsidiary or such group of Restricted Subsidiaries or of any
substantial part of their respective property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or the admission by them in writing of their inability to pay their debts generally
as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company, the Significant Subsidiary or

A-7
(vi) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with Section 5.04
of the Supplemental Indenture, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days after there
has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
2019 Notes of a Notice of Default;
(vii) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or
by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date
of the Supplemental Indenture, which (i) is caused by the failure to pay principal of, or interest
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”), and (ii) results in the actual
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal
amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness
under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated,
aggregates $50.0 million or more;
(viii) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are entered by a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any
group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and such
judgment or judgments remain undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed pending appeal (or otherwise stayed)) of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of
all such undischarged judgments exceeds $50.0 million (net of any amount covered by insurance);
(ix) except as permitted by the Supplemental Indenture, any 2019 Note Guarantee is held in any
judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full
force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or
disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor’s 2019 Note Guarantee.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may declare all the 2019 Notes
to be due and payable immediately, and upon receipt of written instructions from the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2019 Notes, the Trustee will declare all the
2019 Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law, all
outstanding 2019 Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may
not enforce the Supplemental Indenture or the 2019 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2019
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of the 2019 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 or interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
2019 Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
2019 Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the
Supplemental Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest
on, or the principal of, the 2019 Notes or as otherwise provided under Section 11. The Company is
required to deliver to the Trustee annually a
statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default
or Event of Default.
A-8
13. Trustees Dealings With Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its
Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the
Trustee.
14. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or
stockholder, of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the 2019 Notes, the 2019 Note Guarantees or the
Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations
or their creation. Each Holder of 2019 Notes by accepting a 2019 Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2019 Notes.
15. Authentication. This 2019 Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

17. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on
the 2019 Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2019
