THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of June 18, 2003, is entered into between LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and HSBC Bank USA, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Trustee executed and delivered an Indenture dated as of June 18, 2003 (the “Base Indenture”; and, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Issuer from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes and other evidences of indebtedness;

WHEREAS, the Issuer has authorized the issuance of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the “Notes”), pursuant to the Indenture; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to enter into this First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 301 and Article IX of the Base Indenture in order to establish the terms and the form of the Notes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Notes as follows:

First Supplemental Indenture


	(ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

Except as otherwise provided in the preceding paragraph, the Notes are not redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to June 15, 2008. On or after June 15, 2008, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:

(B) If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes in accordance with this Paragraph 7, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than 75 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:


	(i) the paragraph of the Notes or the Section of the Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;


	(ii) the redemption date;


	(iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and


	(iv) the redemption price.

(C) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes for redemption as follows:


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


	(ii) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes

First Supplemental Indenture

of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.

(D) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Sections 401 and 1005 of the Indenture.

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


	(i) the redemption date;

	(ii) the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

(E) Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with the preceding paragraph, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

First Supplemental Indenture

(F) Not later than the Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed.

(G) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Paragraph 5 hereof.

(H) Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Company Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

(I) The redemption procedures set forth in Paragraphs 7(B) through 7(H) are referred to herein as the “Redemption Procedures”.

(8) The Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption of (except as provided in Paragraph (9) of this Section 1.1), or sinking fund payments with respect to, the Notes.

(9) Upon (x) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (y) if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to redeem or repurchase the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth below:

(A) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:


	(i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Paragraph 9(A) and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

First Supplemental Indenture


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

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

	(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

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

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

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

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture (as supplemented hereby) by virtue of such conflict.

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


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


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

First Supplemental Indenture


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

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

Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Paragraph 9(A), but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Issuer will either repay all outstanding Senior Debt the terms of which require payment upon a Change of Control or otherwise restrict the Issuer’s right to repurchase the Notes or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Paragraph 9(A) (and all dates or periods of time for compliance with this Paragraph 9(A) shall be determined by reference to the first to occur of (1) the repayment of all such Senior Debt or the receipt of such consents or (2) such 90th day after the Change of Control). A failure to comply with the covenant described in this paragraph will constitute an Event of Default pursuant to the provision set forth in Section 501(3) of the Indenture (as amended and restated in Paragraph 22(A) of Section 1.1 of this First Supplemental Indenture).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 9(A), the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Paragraph 9(A) and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

(B) If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within 30 days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer will commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (on a pro rata basis with any other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Paragraph 9(B) with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets) that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth below. To the extent any Excess Proceeds remain after consumption of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof (together with such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered for payment or repurchase) exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes on a pro rata basis. Upon the completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuer prior to any related purchase date and may elect to

First Supplemental Indenture

have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes.

In the event the Issuer is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below.

(i) The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.


	(ii) If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.


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


	(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Paragraph 9(B) and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

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

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

	(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

	(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only;

First Supplemental Indenture


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

	(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

	(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof (together with such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered for payment or repurchase) exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased); and

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

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 9(B). The Issuer, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.


	Other than as specifically provided in this Paragraph 9(B), any purchase pursuant to this Paragraph 9(B) shall be made in accordance with the Redemption Procedures.

First Supplemental Indenture

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

(10) The Notes are subordinate in right and priority to the prior payment in full of Senior Debt, as follows:

(A) The Issuer agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes (including principal of, premium, if any, interest on and all other amounts with respect to the Notes) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Paragraph 10, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. Further, the payment of any amount under the Note Guarantees will be subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt of the Guarantors, including Senior Debt created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed after the date of this Indenture.

(B) Upon any distribution to creditors of the Issuer in a liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Issuer’s assets and liabilities:

(i) holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt) before the Holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain payments made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Paragraph 29(D) hereof); and


	(ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in the preceding clause (i) above) are paid in full, any distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Paragraph 10 will be made to holders of Senior Debt (except payments made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Paragraph 29(D) hereof), as their interests may appear.

(C) The Issuer may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations under the Notes (other than payments made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Paragraph 29(D) hereof) until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full if:

First Supplemental Indenture


	(i) payment default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other document governing such Designated Senior Debt; or

(ii) any other default occurs and is continuing on any series of Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that series of Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Issuer or the holders of any Designated Senior Debt. If the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice will be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (A) at least 360 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (B) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash.

No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee may be, or may be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default has have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

(D) The Issuer may and will resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes upon the earlier of:


	(i) in the case of a payment default on Designated Senior Debt, upon the date upon which such default is cured or waived, or

(ii) in the case of a nonpayment default on Designated Senior Debt, upon the earliest of: (a) the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived, (b) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated and such Designated Senior Debt remains due and unpaid, or (c) the date on which the Trustee receives notice from the holder of such Designated Senior Debt rescinding such Payment Blockage Notice,

if this Paragraph 10 otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment or acquisition.

(E) If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer will promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

(F) In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes (other than payments made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Paragraph 29(D) hereof) at a time when the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by this Paragraph 10, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their Representative under the agreement, indenture or other document

First Supplemental Indenture

(if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only those obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Paragraph 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee pays over or distributes to or on behalf of Holders or the Issuer or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt are then entitled by virtue of this Paragraph 10, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

(G) The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Issuer that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Paragraph 10, but failure to give such notice will not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as provided in this Paragraph 10.

(H) After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Paragraph 10 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Issuer and Holders, a payment by the Issuer on the Notes.

(I) This Paragraph 10 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture will:


	(i) impair, as between the Issuer and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms;


	(ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Issuer other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or


	(iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

If the Issuer fails because of this Paragraph 10 to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.

First Supplemental Indenture

(J) No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Issuer or any Holder or by the failure of the Issuer or any Holder to comply with this Indenture.

(K) Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer referred to in this Paragraph 10, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Paragraph 10.

(L) The provisions of this Paragraph 10 or any other provision of the Indenture notwithstanding, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Paragraph 10. Only the Issuer or a Representative of holders of Designated Senior Debt may give the notice. Nothing in this Paragraph 10 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Sections 506 or 607 of the Indenture.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

(M) Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Paragraph 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 504 of the Indenture at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

(N) The provisions of this Paragraph 10 may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt.

(11) The Issuer does not have the right to execute and deliver to the Trustee, and to direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver in accordance with a Company Order, a Note in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled upon redemption or repayment.

(12) The Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

First Supplemental Indenture

(13) Upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes, no additional principal amounts shall be payable in respect of the Notes other than the principal amount then Outstanding.

(14) The Notes will be issued as Registered Securities. No Notes will be issued as Unregistered Securities. The Notes will not be issued in temporary global form. The Notes will be issued in permanent global form without coupons and the Beneficial Owners therein may exchange such interests, insofar as it relates to the Notes, for other Notes solely as follows:

A Note in the form of a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. All Notes in the form of Global Securities will be exchanged by the Issuer for definitive Registered Securities if:


	(i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depository that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depository or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depository; or


	(ii) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Notes in the form of Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for definitive Registered Securities and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or


	(iii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of any of the proceeding events in (i) through (iii) above, definitive Registered Securities shall be issued in such names as the Depository shall instruct the Trustee. Definitive Registered Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Securities will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 306 of the Indenture. Every Note in the form of a Global Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Paragraph 14 or Section 306 of the Indenture hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Global Security other than as provided in this Paragraph 14.

The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the form of the Notes in the Global Securities will be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of

First Supplemental Indenture

beneficial interests in Notes in the form of Global Securities, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Security Registrar:


	(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depository in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depository to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and


	(ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

(15) The Issuer will not pay additional amounts on the Notes held by a person who is not a U.S. Person in respect of taxes or similar charges withheld or deducted.

(16) The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable in Dollars.

(17) The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes are not payable in a coin or currency other than Dollars.

(18) The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes are not payable in securities or other property other than Dollars.

(19) Amounts payable in respect of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes are not determined by reference to any index or other fact or event ascertainable outside of the Indenture.

(20) The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(21) Interest payable on a Note (other than interest payable on overdue interest) is payable solely to the registered Holder of such Note on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date, except that any interest that is not paid when due on an Interest Payment Date shall be paid on a Special Record Date immediately preceding the payment date thereof established in accordance with Section 307 of the Base Indenture. The Issuer will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by Global Securities (including principal, interest and premium, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Notes in the form of definitive Registered Securities, in the case of Holders of greater than $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such Registered Securities that request such payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by such Holders and if no such account is specified or to any other Holder, by mailing a check to such Holder’s registered address.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.


	The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate equal to 2.0% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. The Issuer will pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.


	(ii) Reports. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 704 of the Base Indenture (and without affecting an amendment thereto) and whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations:

The Issuer will at all times comply with Trust Indenture Act § 314(a).


	Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from

First Supplemental Indenture


	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).


	(iii) Compliance Certificate. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 102 of the Base Indenture (and without affecting an amendment thereto):

The Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and Significant Subsidiaries, to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

(v) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will

		(a) if the Issuer or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

		(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);


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


	(8) the guarantee by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that was permitted to be incurred under another provision of this covenant;

(9) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims or self insurance;


	(10) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;


	(11) the accretion of original issue discount or the payment of pay-in-kind interest;

(12) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of contingent obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments or indemnification obligations set forth in agreements providing for the acquisition or disposition of any asset of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary so long as all such contingent obligations are discharged within 30 days of the date the amount thereof becomes absolute or liquidated; and

First Supplemental Indenture


	(13) the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed $25.0 million.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Paragraph 22(B)(viii), in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (13) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Paragraph 22(B)(viii)(a), the Issuer will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Agreement outstanding on June 18, 2003 will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by Paragraph 22(B)(viii)(b)(1)

Notwithstanding any other provision, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Paragraph 22(B)(viii) shall not be deemed to have been exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies


	(ix) Asset Sales. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:


	(1) The Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of or Equity Interests issued or sold;


	(2) the fair market value is determined by the Issuer’s Board of Directors and, in the case of Asset Sales in excess of $5.0 million, evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and


	(3) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets who releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability, provided that the amount of

First Supplemental Indenture

such liabilities shall not be deemed to be “cash” for purposes of the term “Net Proceeds”;

(b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 90 days of their receipt, converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and

(c) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale; provided, however, that the amount of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be cash for the purpose of the term “Net Proceeds”.


	Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option:

(1) to repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2) to repay pari passu Indebtedness with provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets; provided that the Issuer will redeem a ratable principal amount of the Notes if the Notes are then redeemable or, if the Notes may not then be redeemed, the Issuer will make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph 9(B) for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase Notes in an aggregate principal amount that would otherwise be required to be redeemed, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase;

(3) to acquire assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make capital expenditures; or

(4) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or all of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business.


	Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in cash or Cash Equivalents or in any other manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture.


	Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the

First Supplemental Indenture


	aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes in compliance with Paragraph 9(B).

(x) Transactions with Affiliates

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

(1) the Affiliate Transaction (if pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of execution of the agreement providing therefor) is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee:

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Paragraph 22(B)(x)(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Issuer of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing


	(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the preceding subsection (a):

(1) any employment, consulting or similar agreement or other compensation arrangement or plan entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

First Supplemental Indenture

(2) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) payment of reasonable directors fees and expenses and the provision of customary indemnification to directors and officers of the Issuer;

(4) sales of Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Issuer;

(5) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Paragraph 22(B)(vi) hereof;

(6) any agreement (and payments with respect thereto) as in effect on June 18, 2003 or any transaction contemplated thereby; and

(7) any tax sharing agreement between the Issuer and any other Person which files a consolidated return in which the Issuer is a part of the consolidated group for tax purposes, so long as the aggregate amount of all payments made by the Issuer to such Person in any period is no greater than the amount that would have been paid by the Issuer in such period if the Issuer had been the taxpayer of its consolidated group

(xi) Liens. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any kind securing Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or trade payables on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

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

(xiii) Corporate Existence. Subject to (and except as otherwise permitted by) Paragraph 22(B)(xix) hereof and in lieu of Section 1004 of the Base Indenture (which shall not apply with respect to the Notes), the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:



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

First Supplemental Indenture



	(b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.


	(xiv) Anti-Layering. The Issuer will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Issuer and senior in right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor will incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor and senior in any respect in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. No Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinate to any secured Indebtedness by virtue of the fact that is unsecured.

	(xv) Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Issuer or any Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:


	(a) the Issuer or that Guarantor, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Consolidated Leverage Ratio test in Paragraph 22(B)(viii)(a) hereof and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 22(B)(xi) hereof;


	(b) the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee), of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and


	(c) the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Issuer applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Paragraph 22(B)(ix) hereof.


	This covenant will not apply to:


	(1) transactions solely between the Issuer and Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or between Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; or


	(2) Permitted Sale Leaseback Transactions.

First Supplemental Indenture

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

(xvii) Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will (i) reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Paragraph 22(B)(vii) hereof or (ii) reduce the amount available under the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default and immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Issuer is able to incur at least $1.00 additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio test set forth in Paragraph 22(B)(viii)(a).

(xviii) Additional Note Guarantees. If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Domestic Subsidiary after the date of issuance of the Notes, then the Issuer will cause that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to execute a Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within ten Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by that Domestic Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of that Domestic Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions); provided, however, that any Domestic Subsidiary that has properly been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture shall not be required to become a Guarantor so long as it continues to constitute an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The form of such Note Guarantee and supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibits B and C hereto, respectively.

(xix) Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person; unless:


	(a) either:

First Supplemental Indenture


	(i) the Issuer is the surviving corporation; or

	(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is either (A) a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia or (B) a partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia that has at least one Restricted Subsidiary that is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia which corporation becomes a co-issuer of the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture duly and validly executed by the Trustee; or


	(b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;


	(c) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

(d) the Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio test set forth in Paragraph 22(B)(viii)(a) hereof; and

(e) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this paragraph and that all conditions precedent herein for relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

The Issuer will not be relieved of its Obligations to pay principal of, and interest on, the Notes except in the case of a sale (but not lease) of all of its assets that meet the requirements of this Paragraph 22(B)(xix). Further, this Paragraph will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors.

First Supplemental Indenture

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, this Paragraph 22(B)(xix), the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Issuer” shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the Issuer’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, this Paragraph 22(B)(xix).

(23) The Notes are not convertible or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or other securities of the Issuer or any other Person;

(24) Except as provided in the Base Indenture, there are no additional obligations or instruments that shall be considered to be Eligible Obligations in respect of the Notes. Alternative provisions for the reinstatement of the Issuer’s Indebtedness in respect of the Notes after the satisfaction and discharge thereof are provided for in Paragraph 29(D)(6) hereof, which shall be deemed to supersede and replace those set forth in Section 403(l) of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes.

(25) With respect to Section 113 of the Base Indenture, interest shall continue to accrue on the Notes from and after the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, until the payment corresponding thereto has been paid. There shall be no variations in the definition of “Business Day”.

(26) There is no collateral security for the Notes. As of the date of issuance of the Notes there are no guarantors of the Notes. In accordance with Section 1.02 and Paragraph 22(B)(xviii) hereof, future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) must deliver Note Guarantees.

(27) Section 608 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

(28) Pursuant to Paragraph 22(B)(xix) hereof, certain Persons may be required to become co-issuers of the Notes pursuant to supplemental indenture.

First Supplemental Indenture

after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; provided that (i) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Paragraph 22(B)(ix) hereof. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Paragraph 22(B)(ix) hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture (as supplemented hereby) as provided in Paragraph 29(B) hereof.

(29) In addition to the terms, conditions and rights of the Notes set forth in the Base Indenture and otherwise set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture:


	(A) Section 902(c) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated, insofar as it relates to the Notes, to read in its entirety as follows:


	(c) No such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby,


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


	(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes;


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

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

First Supplemental Indenture


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


	(7) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note;


	(8) make any change in to this Paragraph 29(A);


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


	(10) make any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof that adversely affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes.


	(B) In furtherance of the provisions of Paragraph 22(B)(xviii) of Section 1.1 hereof, each Person that becomes a Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:


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

(2) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (A) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 502 of the Base Indenture hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (B) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 502 of the Base Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

(3) The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Paragraph 29(B)(3) will be junior and subordinated to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to Senior Debt of the Issuer. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders will have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or

First Supplemental Indenture


	retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Paragraph 10 hereof.

(4) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Paragraph 29(B), result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.


	(5) To evidence its Note Guarantee, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.


	(6) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its guarantee of the Notes will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.


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


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

In connection with (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all

First Supplemental Indenture

or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; provided that (i) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Paragraph 22(B)(ix) hereof. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Paragraph 22(B)(ix) hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.


	Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Paragraph 29(B).

(C) The Issuer agrees that notwithstanding anything set forth in the Indenture to the contrary, if an Event of Default under Section 501(7) or (8) of the Indenture (as amended and restated in Paragraph 22(A) hereof) occurs, the principal of and interest on the Notes automatically shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act or notice on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the Notes.

(D) Anything set forth in the Base Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding and without giving effect to any conflicting or inconsistent provisions therein which shall not apply to the Notes, the Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Paragraph 29(D)(1) or (D)(2) hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Paragraph 29(D).


	(1) Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Paragraph 29(D) hereof of the option applicable to this Paragraph 29(D)(1), the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 29(D)(3) hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Paragraph 29(D)(4) hereof and the other Sections of the Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

First Supplemental Indenture


	(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium on such Notes when such payments are due;


	(ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 of the Indenture;


	(iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and


	(iv) this Paragraph 29(D).

	(2) Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under this Paragraph 29(D) hereof of the option applicable to this Paragraph 29(D)(2), the Issuer and the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 29(D)(3) hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Paragraph 22(B)(vi) through (B)(xviii) hereof (other than Paragraph 22(B)(xiii)) and clause (d) of Paragraph 22(B)(xix) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in this Paragraph 29(D)(3) hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).

Terms defined in the Indenture referred to below and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

(1) Interest. LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9.50% per annum from June 18, 2003 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding

Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2003. The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Paragraph 5 of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to default interest. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Notes in the form of definitive Registered Securities, in the case of Holders of greater than $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such Registered Securities that request such payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by such Holders and if no such account is specified or to any other Holder, by mailing a check to such Holder’s registered address. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, HSBC Bank USA, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under the Indenture dated as of June 18, 2003 (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 18, 2003 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; and, the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Issuer 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, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).

To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer.

(5) Optional Redemption.

(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuer will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to June 15, 2008. On such date or thereafter, the Issuer will have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:


Year	Percentage

2008		104.750	%
2009		103.167	%
2010		101.583	%
2011 and thereafter		100.000	%

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to June 15, 2006, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 109.50% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) and (2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

(6) Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) If there is a Change of Control, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b) If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within 30 days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer will commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Paragraph 9(B) of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (on a pro rata basis with any other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets) that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent any Excess Proceeds remain after consumption of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by holders thereof (together with such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered for payment or repurchase) exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes on a pro rata basis. Upon the completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuer prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes.

(8) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Paragraph 29(D) of the First Supplemental Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults.

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

(10) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

(12) Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (ii) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (iii) failure by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries

to comply with the provisions of Section 7 hereof; (iv) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to observe or perform any other covenant or other agreement in the Indenture or the Notes for 60 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class; (v) default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default: (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness at the Stated Maturity thereof prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; (vi) failure by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgments have become final and non-appealable, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree that is not promptly stayed; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Note Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (upon the request of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes) or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

(13) Subordination. Payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes is subordinated to the prior payment of Senior Debt on the terms provided in Paragraph 10 of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture.

(14) Trustee Dealings with Issuer. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(15) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, solely by reason of their status as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

(16) Authentication. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(17) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(18) CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture dated as of June 18, 2003 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 18, 2003 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; and, the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) providing for the issuance of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 601 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:

(a) to jointly and severally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:


	(i) the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or


	otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

	(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.

(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that this guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

(d) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

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

(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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.

(g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 502 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 502 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

(h) The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

(i) Pursuant to Paragraph 29(B) of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Paragraph 29(B) of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture, this new Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Note Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(j) To the extent not already covered in clauses (a) through (i) and in no way limiting the meaning and effect of such clauses, to provide as unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture.

3. Execution and Delivery. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.

(a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person (other than the Issuer or another Guarantor) unless:


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

	(ii) either (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; or (B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation, Paragraph 22(B)(ix) of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture.

	(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have


	been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

5. Releases.

(a) In connection with (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that (i) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 22(B)(ix) of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Paragraph 22(B)(ix) of Section 1.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture.

6. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, solely by reason of their status as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

8. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

9. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

10. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
