The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (“Global Notes”).  The Exchange Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or the Depository rule or usage.  The Company shall approve the form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them.  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The terms and provisions contained in the forms of the Notes annexed hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Notes originally sold to QIBs shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “QIB Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Exhibit C.

20

Notes issued to Institutional Accredited Investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “IAI Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Exhibit C.

Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Regulation S Temporary Global Notes, registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream.

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in a Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.  Simultaneously with the authentication of a Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the related Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

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” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Notes and the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes that are held by participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

The aggregate principal amount of any Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

The definitive Notes shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, all as determined by the Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

SECTION 2.02.  Execution and Authentication; Aggregate Principal Amount.

An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office or position at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that the Company may issue under this Indenture is limited to $285.0 million.

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $285.0 million and (ii) Exchange Notes from time to time for issue only in an Exchange Offer for a like principal amount of Initial Notes, in each case, upon written orders of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.  In addition, each Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to

21

be Initial Notes or Exchange Notes.  All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no series of Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, 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 Authenticating Agent.  An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the Company.

The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.03.  Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency which shall initially be the office of the Trustee, where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (the “Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”).  The Company, upon prior written notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent.  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes.  The Paying Agent or Registrar may resign upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Company.

SECTION 2.04.  Obligations of Paying Agent.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold separate and apart from, and not commingle with any other properties, for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed.  Upon receipt by the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.

22

SECTION 2.05.  Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish or cause the Registrar to 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 as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably request of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06.  Transfer and Exchange.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 and 2.15, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that the Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing and such other documents as the Registrar or co-Registrar may reasonably require.  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request.  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee 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 exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06, 4.10, 4.11 or 9.05, in which event the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).

The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through the Depository, in accordance with this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

SECTION 2.07.  Replacement Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims in writing that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company upon its request or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.  Except with respect to mutilated Notes, such Holder must provide an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of the Trustee and its counsel.  In case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

23

Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the Company, entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.08.  Outstanding Notes.

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.  A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Paying Agent holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest and Additional Interest, if and, due on the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Interest, if applicable, on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09.  Treasury Notes; When Notes Are Disregarded.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not one of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

SECTION 2.10.  Temporary Notes.

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.  The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes are to be authenticated.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company consider appropriate for temporary Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.11.  Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has acquired in any lawful manner, to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation.  Subject to

24

Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.  The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Notes in accordance with customary procedures or, at the written request of the Company, shall return the same to the Company (unless applicable law or the Trustee’s procedures requires the Trustee to retain possession of such cancelled Notes).

SECTION 2.12.  CUSIP Numbers.

A “CUSIP” number shall be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption, purchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number.

SECTION 2.13.  Deposit of Moneys.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14.  Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a)           The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit C.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under any Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(b)           Transfers of the Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.15; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.  In addition, Notes in the form of certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Physical Notes”) shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Notes if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Notes and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depository to issue Physical Notes; provided that a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be exchanged for a Physical Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery

25

thereof in the form of a Physical Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act, except in the case of a transfer pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than Rule 903 or Rule 904.

(c)           Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become a beneficial interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to a beneficial interest in such other Global Notes for as long as it remains such an interest.

(d)           In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.14, the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

(e)           In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.14, the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Physical Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement will made on such Global Notes by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(g)           Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Note pursuant to clause (b) or (c) shall, except as otherwise provided by clauses (a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 2.15, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Physical Notes set forth in Exhibit A.

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

SECTION 2.15.  Special Transfer Provisions.

(a)           Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors and Non-U.S. Persons.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note constituting a Restricted Security to any Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a QIB or to any Non-U.S. Person:

26

(i)            the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Note constituting a Restricted Security, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after March 25, 2012 or (y) (1) in the case of a transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons), the proposed transferee has delivered to the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto or (2) in the case of a transfer to a Non-U.S. Person, the proposed transferor has delivered to the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto; and

(ii)           if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the certificate, if any, required by clause (i) above and (y) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Registrar’s procedures,

whereupon (1) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of outstanding Physical Notes) a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and (2) the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and principal amount.

(b)           Transfers to QIBs.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

(i)            the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

(ii)           if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Notes to be transferred consist of Physical Notes which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Notes to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Notes so transferred.

(c)           Private Placement Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the circumstance contemplated by clause (a)(i)(x) of this Section 2.15 exists or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.  The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture.  In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Registrar or

27

the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

(d)           General.  By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it shall transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.14 or this Section 2.15.  The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

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 Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) 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 substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.

SECTION 2.16.  Transfers of Global Notes and Physical Notes.

A transfer of a Global Note or a Physical Note (including the right to receive principal and interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable thereon) may be made only by the Registrar’s entering the transfer in the Register.  Prior to such entry, the Company shall treat the person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of the Note for all purposes.

Except as set forth in this Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such Redemption Date sufficient to pay such Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, as of the Redemption Date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed.

terminated or abandoned prior to the Acquisition Deadline Date, no later than the date that is the earlier of (x) the date that is the 30th day following the date of such termination or abandonment and (y) the sixth day following the Acquisition Deadline Date), give the Trustee and the Holders at least five Business Days’ (but no more than 10 Business Days’) prior written notice of a special redemption by telecopier, courier or first-class mail to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office and each Holder’s registered address and redeem all of the Notes then outstanding (the “Special Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 107% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest) thereon to the date of such redemption (the “Special Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

The Company will pay, through the Paying Agent, such redemption price for all Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Special Redemption Date. On and after the Special Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of such redemption price pursuant to this Indenture.

(ii)           Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption.  If the Xxxxxx Acquisition shall have occurred on or prior to the Acquisition Deadline Date, the Company shall give the Trustee and the Holders at least five Business Days’ (but no more than 15 Business Days’) prior written notice of a redemption by telecopier, courier or first-class mail to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office and each Holder’s registered address and redeem all of the Notes then outstanding (the “Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Note or any other Indenture Document, the consideration paid to each Holder on the date of such Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption (the “Exchange Redemption Date”) to redeem its Notes shall only consist of Stage II Notes issued by Kratos (promptly following the merger of the Company with and into Kratos in accordance with the provisions under Section 5.01 in exchange for a like principal amount of such Notes and having the terms described under the section entitled “Description of the Stage II Notes” in the Offering Memorandum.  Unless the Exchange Redemption Date is a scheduled Interest Payment Date for the Notes, the Company shall not be obligated to pay to any Holder any accrued and unpaid interest to the Exchange Redemption Date in connection with the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption, which accrued and unpaid interest will be evidenced by the Stage II Notes issued to such Holder in exchange for its Notes (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

The Company will only pay such redemption price for any Note through the issuance of a Stage II Note having the same principal amount as such Note. On and after the Exchange Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes called for redemption and the Notes and this Indenture will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged in full as long as Kratos has issued to each Holder Stage II Notes in accordance with the preceding paragraph under this clause (ii).

Each Officers’ Certificate provided for in this Section 3.01 shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel stating that such redemption shall comply with the conditions contained herein and in the Notes.

SECTION 3.02.  Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.

In the event that the Company chooses to redeem less than all of the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee either:

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

(2)      if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee may reasonably determine is fair and appropriate.

The Company shall provide the Trustee a period of at least 10 days to select the Notes to be redeemed prior to the date the notice of redemption is sent to Holders.  If a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, the Trustee will select the Notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the Depository’s procedures), unless such method is otherwise prohibited. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part and Notes of a principal amount in excess of $2,000 may be redeemed in part in multiples of $1,000 only.

The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall 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 at maturity thereof, to be redeemed.  The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $2,000 in principal amount at maturity or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000.  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.

At least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, with a copy to the Trustee and any Paying Agent.  At the Company’ written request delivered at least ten (10) days before the notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’ name and at the Company’ expense, provided that the Company’s request to the Trustee contains the information listed in the following paragraph.  Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein to any Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

Each notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(1)           the Redemption Date;

(2)           the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to be paid the Redemption Date;

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

(4)           the CUSIP number;

(5)           the subparagraph of the Notes pursuant to which such redemption is being made;

31

(6)           the place where such Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date;

(7)           that, unless the Company fails to deposit with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable Redemption Price, interest Additional Interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date in accordance with Section 3.05, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed;

(8)           if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued; and

(9)           if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption.

If any of the Notes to be redeemed is in the form of a Global Note, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depository applicable to redemption.

SECTION 3.04.  Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes or portions thereof called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date.  Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to (but not including) the Redemption Date, but installments of interest and Additional Interest, if applicable, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to in the Notes.

SECTION 3.05.  Deposit of Redemption Price.

Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date, of all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date.

The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any U.S. Legal Tender so deposited which is not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.

32

SECTION 3.06.  Notes Redeemed in Part.

SECTION 4.11.  Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

(1) the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed;

(2) at least 100% of the consideration received by the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition; provided that (a) the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the most recent applicable balance sheet) of the Company or such Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision so long as the documents governing such liabilities or the assumption thereof provide that there is no further recourse to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such liabilities and (b) the Fair Market Value of any marketable securities received by the Company or any such Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets that are converted into cash or Cash Equivalents within 60 days after the consummation of such Asset Sale shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and

(3) the Company shall apply, or cause such Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 10 Business Days of receipt thereof to make an investment in property, plant, equipment or other non-current assets that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or that will be used or useful in a Permitted Business or the acquisition of all of the Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business.

On the 11th Business Day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders, the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

38

covenant, consideration received by the Company or any such Subsidiary from an Asset Sale of any Xxxxxx Shares shall not constitute Net Cash Proceeds until the consummation of the Xxxxxx Acquisition.

The Company may defer any Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $5.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales in which case the accumulation of such amount shall constitute a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $5.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph). Upon the completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount will be reset at zero, and for the avoidance of doubt, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes properly tendered in connection with such Net Proceeds Offer was less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, any Net Cash Proceeds relating to, and remaining following the completion of, such Net Proceeds Offer shall no longer constitute Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.11.

Each notice of a Net Proceeds Offer shall be mailed first class, postage prepaid, to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 20 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, Notes of tendering Holders will be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered) or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the Depository’s procedures). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law.

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 such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.11 of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue of such compliance.

SECTION 4.12.  Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;

(2) make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company; or

(3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company,

except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(A) applicable law, rule or regulation;

(B) this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, or the Collateral Agreements;

(C) customary non-assignment provisions of any lease of any Subsidiary of the Company to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or the property leased thereunder;

39

(D) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(E) agreements of the Company, Xxxxxx and their respective Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date and amendments and modifications thereto, where such amendments and modifications, with respect to (1) the Indenture Documents, are in accordance with the provisions under Article Nine, (2) the Merger Agreement, are such that no provision thereof has been waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner which could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the rights or interests of any Holder, without the consent from the Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and (3) any other agreement, so long as the restrictions, taken as a whole, in such amendments or modifications are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, no more materially restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained in the existing agreements;

(F) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Indenture;

(G) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets or Capital Stock permitted under this Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale;

(H) provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the respective joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein) entered into in the ordinary course of business;

In addition, the Company has agreed that, prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144(A)(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraphs, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2)  if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3)  to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal and premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid or deposited with the Trustee for payment therefor without any restriction on or condition to the application by the Trustee towards such payment;

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, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or

48

remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.05.  Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 2.09 and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee including, without limitation, any remedies provided for in Section 6.03.  Subject to Section 7.01 and 7.02(f), however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction (which direction, if sent to the Trustee, shall be in writing) that the Trustee, reasonably believes conflicts with any applicable law or any of the other Indenture Documents, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided that the Trustee, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction (which direction, if sent to the Trustee shall be in writing).

SECTION 6.07.  Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on a Note, on or after the

SECTION 6.09.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Company’ payment obligations under this Section 6.09 shall be secured in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.07.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or Collateral Agent 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10.  Priorities.

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

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

SECTION 7.05.  Notice of Default.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge or has received written notice from the Company or any Holder, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Company, notice of the Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days thereof.  Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, any Note, including an accelerated payment and the failure to make payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer and, except in the case of a failure to comply with Article Five, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Board of Directors, the executive committee of its Board of Directors or a committee of its directors and/or Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06.  Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within sixty (60) days after each May 15, beginning with May 15, 2011, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA Section 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and (c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange or market, if any, on which the Notes are listed or quoted.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Notes become listed or quoted on any stock exchange or market and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d) and any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07.  Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee (the “Indemnified Party”) from time to time such compensation for its services as Trustee, as the case may be, as shall from time to time be agreed in writing.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Party upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the performance of its duties under, as the case may be, the Indenture Documents.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s agents and counsel.

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Indemnified Party for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, cost, claim, liability or expense (including taxes) incurred by of it except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party, arising out of or in connection with this Indenture Documents, or the administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or the other Indenture Documents against the Company or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself. against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder or thereunder (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel).  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against it for which the Trustee may seek indemnity hereunder or under the other Indenture Documents.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  At the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion, the Company shall defend the claim and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate and may participate in the defense; provided that any settlement of a claim shall be approved in

55

writing by the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably be withheld.  Alternatively, the Indemnified Party may at its option have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Indemnified Party’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

To secure the Company’s and each Guarantor’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Indemnified Party shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all Collateral held or collected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such, except assets or money held in trust to pay principal of or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on particular Notes which have been called for redemption.

When an Indemnified Party incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) occurs, such expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Code.

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, termination of the Collateral Agreements or the other Indenture Documents or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent.

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 312(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee.  The Company, by a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee if:

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

(2)           the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(4)           the Trustee becomes incapable of acting with respect to the Notes.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such Trustee so ceasing to act hereunder subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 7.07.  Upon request of the

56

Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall at the expense of the Company and upon payment of the charges of the Trustee then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, at the Company’ expense, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in writing.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 7.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee Person is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

In case any Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 7.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2), (3) and (5).  The Trustee (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.  In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of such bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(2).  The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.  The provisions of TIA Section 310 shall apply to the Company, as obligors of the Notes.

If the Trustee has or acquires a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture.

57

SECTION 7.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

SECTION 7.12.  Trustee as Paying Agent and Collateral Agent.

References to the Trustee in Sections 7.01(f), 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.07, 7.08 and the first paragraph of Section 7.09 shall include the Trustee in its role as Paying Agent, as Registrar and as Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.13.  Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other Persons as to other matters and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

SECTION 8.01.  Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(a)           The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below be applied to the outstanding Notes upon compliance with the applicable conditions set forth in paragraph (d).

(b)           Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from their obligations with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements on the date the applicable conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of the Sections and matters under this Indenture referred to in clause (i) and (ii) below, and the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements, except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth in such paragraph payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (ii) obligations listed in Section 8.03, subject to compliance with this Section 8.01 and (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in connection

(c)           Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (d) below, be released and discharged from their obligations under any covenant contained in Sections 4.04 through 4.06,  Sections 4.08 through 4.22 (provided that the release and discharge of the Company’s obligations under Section 4.22 shall in no way relieve the Company of its obligation to pay any Additional Interest when due and payable) and Section 5.01(2), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed to be not “outstanding” for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Company may omit to comply with and shall 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 shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (d) below, Sections 6.01(3) (solely as such section pertains to Sections 4.04 through 4.06, Sections 4.08 through 4.22 (provided that the release and discharge of the Company’s obligations under Section 4.22 shall in no way relieve the Company of its obligation to pay any Additional Interest when due and payable) and Section 5.01(2)), and Sections 6.01(4) through Section 6.01(9) (other than Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7)) shall not constitute Events of Default.

1.             The Company shall have irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security agreement in form satisfactory to the Trustee, U.S. Legal Tender or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) shall have received an irrevocable written order from the Company instructing the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to apply such U.S. Legal Tender or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Notes to maturity or redemption;

2.             In the event the Company elects paragraph (b) above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America to the effect that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, 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 shall confirm that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance contemplated hereby and shall be subject to federal income tax

59

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 event the Company elects paragraph (c) above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, to the effect that the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance contemplated hereby and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

4.             No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to comply with Section 4.08 arising in connection with the borrowing of funds to fund the deposit referenced in clause (1) above and the granting of any Lien securing such borrowing) or insofar as Defaults or Events of Default under Section 6.01(6) or 6.01(7) are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit;

5.             Such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default hereunder (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to comply with Section 4.08 arising in connection with the borrowing of funds to fund the deposit referenced in clause (1) above and the granting of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of it Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

6.             The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit under clause (1) was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;

7.             The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 8.01 have been complied with; and

8.             The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary qualifications and exclusions) to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 8.01(d)(2) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) shall become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

In the event all or any portion of the Notes are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 8.02.  Satisfaction and Discharge.

In addition to the Company’s rights under Section 8.01, this Indenture (and all Liens on Collateral in connection with the issuance of the Notes) shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when:

SECTION 8.05.  Application of Trust Moneys.

The Trustee shall hold any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it in the irrevocable trust established pursuant to Section 8.01.  The Trustee shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender or the U.S. Government Obligations, together with earnings thereon, through the Paying Agent, in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of the irrevocable trust agreement established pursuant to Section 8.01, to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes.  Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the Company’ request any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.01(d) which, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 or the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

SECTION 8.07.  Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 or 8.02 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and each other Indenture Document to which such Person is a party shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 or 8.02; provided, however, that if the Company have made any payment of premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE NINE

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.01.  Without Consent of Holders.

From time to time, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if such amendment, modification or supplement relates to any Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agent, without the consent of the Holders, may amend, modify or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements:

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

(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 in accordance with Section 5.01;

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

(6) to allow any Subsidiary or any other Person to guarantee the Notes;

(7) to release a Guarantor as permitted by this Indenture and the relevant Guarantee; or

(8) if necessary, in connection with any addition or release of Collateral permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements,

so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect.  Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.  After an amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, modification, waiver or supplement.  Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement or constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 9.02.  With Consent of Holders.

The Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board of Resolution, and the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, may amend, modify or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements without notice to any other Holders.  The Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, any Collateral Agreements or the Notes without notice to any other Holder.  However, no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, shall (a) without the consent of each Holder of each Note affected thereby:

63

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

(2)           reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest (including defaulted interest but excluding Additional Interest) on any Notes;

(3)           reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the Redemption Price therefor;

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

(5)           make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

(6)           amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer after the occurrence of a Change of Control, or make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(7)           subordinate the Notes in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor;

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

(9)           make any changes to Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02; or

(b)           without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3 % in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture, release all or substantially all of the Collateral otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.03.  Compliance with TIA.

Every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Agreements or the Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

64

SECTION 9.04.  Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective (which may be prior to any such amendment, waiver or supplement becoming operative), a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder 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.  Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Note or portion of such Note by written notice to the Trustee and the Company received before the date on which the Trustee and if such amendment, waiver or supplement relates to any Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agent, receives written consents from the Holders of a requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes or receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.  An amendment, waiver or supplement shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes or such Officers’ Certificate, whichever first occurs, and the execution thereof by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

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 last sentence 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 revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than ninety (90) days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in clauses(a) or (b) of the first paragraph of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 9.05.  Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver the Note to the Trustee.  The Trustee at the written direction of the Company may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated.  Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make an appropriate notation, or issue a new Note, shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any such notation or exchange shall be made at the sole cost and expense of the Company.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not effect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

65

SECTION 9.06.  Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which adversely affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Indenture or any Collateral Agreement.  The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall also state that the amendment or supplement is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Company.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and shall be paid for by the Company.

SECTION 9.07.  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect.

ARTICLE TEN

GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01.  Guarantee.

Each Guarantor hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantees (such guarantee, as amended or supplemented from time to time, to be referred to herein as the “Guarantee”), to each of the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns that (i) the principal of, premium, if any and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether upon redemption pursuant to the terms of the Notes, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal (including interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in this Indenture Documents after the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(8), whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed under applicable law following the institution of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws), if any, and interest on any interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the extent lawful, of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereunder, thereunder or under any Collateral Agreement shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof, thereof and of the Collateral Agreements; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03.  The Guarantee of each Guarantor shall rank senior in right of payment to all subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor and equal in right of payment with all other senior obligations of such Guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture, or any Collateral Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any of the Holders with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.  Each Guarantor

66

hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and in this Guarantee.  The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, shall result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.  The net worth of any Guarantor for such purpose shall include any claim of such Guarantor against the Company for reimbursement and any claim against any other Guarantor for contribution.  Each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to the Company or another Guarantor without limitation in accordance with Sections 5.01, 4.11 and 10.04.  If any Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

SECTION 10.02.  Release of a Guarantor.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its Guarantee (and may subsequently dissolve) without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder:

(1)      if (a) all of the Capital Stock issued by such Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of merger or consolidation and, in the case of a sale of Capital Stock, whether directly by transfer of Capital Stock issued by that Guarantor or indirectly by transfer of Capital Stock of other Subsidiaries that, directly or indirectly, own Capital Stock issued by such Guarantor) to a Person other than the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries or (b) such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary, and the Company otherwise complies, to the extent applicable, with Section 4.11;

(2)      if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option as described below under Section 8.01; or

(3)      upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as described in Section 8.02 or payment in full in cash of the principal of, and premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and all other Obligations that are then due and payable.

At the Company’s request and expense, the Trustee will execute and deliver an instrument evidencing such release. A Guarantor may also be released from its obligations under its Guarantee in connection with a permitted amendment of this Indenture.  Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of its Guarantee as provided in this Article Ten.

67

SECTION 10.03.  Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each of the Holders hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee 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 law.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 10.05, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 10.04.  Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Each Guarantor (other than any Guarantor whose Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of the Guarantee and this Indenture in connection with any transaction complying with this Section 10.04 and Section 4.11) will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person, other than the Company or any other Guarantor unless:

(1)           the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

(2)           such entity assumes (a) by supplemental indenture in form attached hereto as Exhibit F, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee and the performance of every covenant of the Guarantee and this Indenture and (b) by amendment, supplement or other instrument executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, all obligations of the Guarantor under the Collateral Agreements and in connection therewith shall cause such instruments to be filed and recorded in such jurisdictions and take such other actions as may be required by applicable law to perfect or continue the perfection of the Lien created under the Collateral Agreements on the Collateral owned by or transferred to the surviving entity; and

(3)           immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

This Section 10.04 will not apply to:

(a)            any merger or consolidation of a Guarantor with and into the Company (with the Company being the surviving entity) or another Guarantor or; or

(b)           any merger or consolidation of a Guarantor or the Company with an Affiliate organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Guarantor or the Company in another jurisdiction in the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia.

68

SECTION 10.05.  Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a pro rata contribution from each other Guarantor hereunder based on the net assets of each other Guarantor.  The preceding sentence shall in no way affect the rights of the Holders to the benefits of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees.

SECTION 10.06.  Waiver of Subrogation.

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.

SECTION 10.07.  Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

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

SECTION 10.08.  Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.

Each guarantor hereby agrees that its execution and delivery of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer thereof in accordance with Section 4.16 hereof shall evidence its Guarantee set forth in this Article 10 without the need for any further notation on the Notes.

2. Method of Payment.  The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date, and on or before such Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”).  However, the Company may pay principal and interest by check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender.  The Company shall deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent for delivery to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, Wilmington Trust FSB (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent.

4. Indenture.  The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of March 25, 2011 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to in the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms.  The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company.  Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be

Year		Percentage
2014		105.000	%
2015		102.500	%
2016 and each year thereafter		100.000	%

(b) Optional Redemption Upon Equity Offerings.  At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to June 1, 2013, the Company may, at its option, use an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 110% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date.  In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity Offering,

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture shall remain outstanding immediately after such redemption; and

(2) the Redemption Date must be as of a date not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

(c) Optional Redemption Prior to June 1, 2014.  At any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to each Holder of Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

(d) Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the Trustee and to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address.  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, at any time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which

A-4

the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee may reasonably determine is fair and appropriate, provided that no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; and provided, further, that any such partial redemption made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering will be made only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures), unless such method is otherwise prohibited.  Notes in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof may be redeemed in part.

Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such Redemption Date sufficient to pay such Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, as of the Redemption Date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed.

(e) Mandatory Redemption.  Except as set forth below under clause (i) (“Special Redemption”) or (ii) (“Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption”), the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(i) Special Redemption.  If the Xxxxxx Acquisition shall not have occurred on or prior to the Acquisition Deadline Date (or the Xxxxxx Acquisition shall have been terminated or abandoned prior to such date), the Company shall, no later than the sixth day following the Acquisition Deadline Date (or in the case where the Xxxxxx Acquisition shall have been terminated or abandoned prior to the Acquisition Deadline Date, no later than the date that is the earlier of (x) the date that is the 30th day following the date of such termination or abandonment and (y) the sixth day following the Acquisition Deadline Date), give the Trustee and the Holders at least five Business Days’ (but no more than 10 Business Days’) prior written notice of a special redemption by telecopier, courier or first-class mail to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office and each Holder’s registered address and redeem all of the Notes then outstanding (the “Special Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 107% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued but unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest) thereon to the date of such redemption (the “Special Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

The Company will pay, through the Paying Agent, such redemption price for all Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Special Redemption Date. On and after the Special Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of such redemption price pursuant to this Indenture.

A-5

(ii) Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption.  If the Xxxxxx Acquisition shall have occurred on or prior to the Acquisition Deadline Date, the Company shall give the Trustee and the Holders at least five Business Days’ (but no more than 15 Business Days’) prior written notice of a redemption by telecopier, courier or first-class mail to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office and each Holder’s registered address and redeem all of the Notes then outstanding (the “Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or any other Indenture Document, the consideration paid to each Holder on the date of such Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption (the “Exchange Redemption Date”) to redeem its Notes shall only consist of Stage II Notes issued by Kratos (promptly following the merger of the Company with and into Kratos in accordance with the provisions under Section 5.01 in exchange for a like principal amount of such Notes and having the terms described under the section entitled “Description of the Stage II Notes” in the Offering Memorandum.  Unless the Exchange Redemption Date is a scheduled Interest Payment Date for the Notes, the Company shall not be obligated to pay to any Holder any accrued and unpaid interest to the Exchange Redemption Date in connection with the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption, which accrued and unpaid interest will be evidenced by the Stage II Notes issued to such Holder in exchange for its Notes (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

The Company will only pay such redemption price for any Note through the issuance of a Stage II Note having the same principal amount as such Note. On and after the Exchange Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes called for redemption and the Notes and the Indenture will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged in full as long as Kratos has issued to each Holder Stage II Notes in accordance with the preceding paragraph under this clause (ii).

6. Offers to Purchase.  Sections 4.10 and 4.11 of the Indenture provide that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and after certain Asset Sales and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

2. Method of Payment.  The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date, and on or before such Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”).  However, the Company may pay principal and interest by check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender.  The Company shall deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent for delivery to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, Wilmington Trust FSB (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent.

4. Indenture.  The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of March 25, 2011 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to in the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms.

B-3

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company.  Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to time.  Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.

(a) Optional Redemption on or after June 1, 2014.  Except as described in Sections 5(b) and 5(c) below, the Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company before June 1, 2014.  At any time on or after June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on June 1, of each of the years set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date:

Year		Percentage
2014		105.000	%
2015		102.500	%
2016 and each year thereafter		100.000	%

(b) Optional Redemption Upon Equity Offerings.  At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to June 1, 2013, the Company may, at its option, use an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 110% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.  In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity Offering,

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture shall remain outstanding immediately after such redemption; and

(2) the Redemption Date must be as of a date not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

(c) Optional Redemption Prior to June 1, 2014.  At any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to each Holder of Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

(d) Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the Trustee and to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address.  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be

B-4

redeemed, at any time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee may reasonably determine is fair and appropriate, provided that no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; and provided, further, that any such partial redemption made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering will be made only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures), unless such method is otherwise prohibited.  Notes in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof more may be redeemed in part.

Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such Redemption Date sufficient to pay such Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the Redemption Date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed.

The Company will pay, through the Paying Agent, such redemption price for any Note together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Special Redemption Date. On and after the Special Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of such redemption price pursuant to this Indenture.

B-5

(ii) Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption.  If the Xxxxxx Acquisition shall have occurred on or prior to the Acquisition Deadline Date, the Company shall give the Trustee and the Holders at least five Business Days’ (but no more than 15 Business Days’) prior written notice of a redemption by telecopier, courier or first-class mail to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office and each Holder’s registered address and redeem all of the Notes then outstanding (the “Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or any other Indenture Document, the consideration paid to each Holder on the date of such Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption (the “Exchange Redemption Date”) to redeem its Notes shall only consist of Stage II Notes issued by Kratos (promptly following the merger of the Company with and into Kratos in accordance with the provisions under Section 5.01 in exchange for a like principal amount of such Notes and having the terms described under the section entitled “Description of the Stage II Notes” in the Offering Memorandum.  Unless the Exchange Redemption Date is a scheduled Interest Payment Date for the Notes, the Company shall not be obligated to pay to any Holder any accrued and unpaid interest to the Exchange Redemption Date in connection with the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption, which accrued and unpaid interest will be evidenced by the Stage II Notes issued to such Holder in exchange for its Notes (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

The Company will only pay such redemption price for any Note through the issuance of a Stage II Note having the same principal amount as such Note. On and after the Exchange Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes called for redemption and the Notes and the Indenture will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged in full as long as Kratos has issued to each Holder Stage II Notes in accordance with the preceding paragraph under this clause (ii).

Offers to Purchase.  Sections 4.10 and 4.11 of the Indenture provide that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and after certain Asset Sales and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

Re: 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) of Acquisition Co. Xxxxx Parent, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor entity)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed purchase of $                       aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that:

1. We have received a copy of the Offering Memorandum (the “Offering Memorandum”), dated March 22, 2011, relating to the Notes and such other information as we deem necessary in order to make our investment decision.  We acknowledge that we have read and agreed to the matters stated in the section entitled “Notice to Investors” of the Offering Memorandum.

2. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture dated as of March 25, 2011 relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”) and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

3. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence.  We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell or otherwise transfer any Notes prior to the date which is within one year after the original issuance of the Notes or the last date on which the Note is owned by the Company or any affiliate of the Company, we will do so only (i) to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) inside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (iii) inside the United States to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) provided that, prior to such transfer, the transferee furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to you a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the Notes, substantially in the form of this

D-1

letter, (iv) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available) or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated herein.

4. We are not acquiring the Notes for or on behalf of, and will not transfer the Notes to, any pension or welfare plan (as defined in Section 3 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), except as permitted in the section entitled “Notice to Investors” of the Offering Memorandum.

5. We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such certification, legal opinions and other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions.  We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

6. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment, as the case may be.

7. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

8. We are not acquiring Notes with a view to any distribution thereof in a transaction that would violate the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; provided that the disposition of our property and the property of any accounts for which we are acting as fiduciary shall remain at all times within our and their control.

You and the Company are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby, and we agree to notify you promptly if any of our representations or warranties herein cease to be accurate and complete.

WHEREAS, Section 4.16 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture and a Guarantee pursuant to which any newly-acquired or created Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth therein and herein and in such Guarantee; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and delivery this Supplemental Indenture.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of the Company or a Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, such obligations or their creation.

The Guarantee executed and delivered hereby is a continuing Guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns until full and final payment of all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and Indenture or until released or legally defeased in accordance with the Indenture and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders, and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon that party shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof.  This is a Guarantee of payment and performance and not of collectibility.
