REDEMPTION

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption.

At any time and from time to time, the Company may at its option redeem the Notes of any series, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes to be redeemed on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to such redemption date; provided that if the Company redeems any Notes on or after the applicable Par Call Date, the redemption price for such Notes to be redeemed will equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points for any Notes.

Section 3.02. Selection and Notice of Redemption.

Notice of any redemption of any series of Notes in connection with a corporate transaction (including an equity offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or a change of control) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes of such series for redemption (a) on a pro rata basis (or as nearly as practicable) if the Notes are represented by physical certificates or (b) by lot or such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary if the Notes are represented by global certificates.

Notes of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in whole and not in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, or delivered electronically, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any Holder selected for redemption will not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note redeemed in accordance with provisions of the Indenture.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Company will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancelation of the original Note. In the case of a global note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Subject to the terms of the applicable redemption notice (including any conditions contained therein), Notes called for redemption shall become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Section 5.02. Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

With respect to the Notes only, Section 1008(a)(3) of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced with the following: “such Sale and Leaseback Transaction exists on the issue date of the Notes or at the time any Person that owns a Principal Facility becomes a Restricted Subsidiary”.

For purposes of this Section 704, the Guarantor will be deemed to have filed such information, documents and reports with the Trustee and the holders of the Notes when such information, documents and reports are filed with the Commission via the XXXXX filing system (or any successor system), it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine if such filings have been made.

Change of Control Triggering Event

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered an unconditional (or conditional solely with respect to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control Triggering Event) redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture,

Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will deliver a notice to each Holder of the Notes, electronically or by first class mail at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws, rules and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws, rules or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

•

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

•

deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered; and

•

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officer’s certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, 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 any Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes of this series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption (as described above) of all outstanding Notes has, prior to or concurrently with such Change of Control Triggering Event, been given pursuant to the

Indenture as described in Section 1108 of the Base Indenture or Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable redemption date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 902 of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Note relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of Holders, the following definitions are applicable:

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.
