Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.03, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Base Indenture.

ARTICLE IV

In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 4 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article IV:

23

Section 4.01. Restricted Payments. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

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

(d) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (a) through (d) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),

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

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

(ii) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.03 hereof; and

(iii) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after March 20, 2001 (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l) and (m) of the next succeeding paragraph) is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from January 1, 2001 to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company since March 20, 2001 as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified

24

Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests of the Company (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary), plus

(C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after March 20, 2001 is sold for cash or Cash Equivalents (or a combination thereof) or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or Cash Equivalents (or a combination thereof), the lesser of (1) the return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (2) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment, plus

(D) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the net reduction in Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries resulting from cash dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets, in each case to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, plus (2) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case since March 20, 2001 (provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments made since March 20, 2001 by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that were treated as Restricted Payments, and provided, further, that no amount will be included under this clause (D) to the extent it is already included in clauses (A), (B) or (C) above).

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

(a) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

(b) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or of any Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition will be excluded from clause (iii)(B) of the preceding paragraph;

(d) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(e) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary held by any officer, director or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any

25

management equity subscription agreement, any compensation, retirement, disability, severance or benefit plan or agreement, any stock option or incentive plan or agreement, any employment agreement or any other similar plans or agreements; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $30.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to succeeding years);

(f) the payment of dividends by the Company on its common stock in an aggregate annual amount of up to $50.0 million;

(g) the repurchase of any class of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Disqualified Stock) if such repurchase is made pro rata among all holders of such class of Capital Stock;

(h) the payment of any scheduled dividend or similar distribution, and any scheduled repayment of the stated amount, liquidation preference or any similar amount at final maturity or on any scheduled redemption or repurchase date, in respect of any series of preferred stock or similar securities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Disqualified Stock), provided that (i) such series of preferred stock or similar securities was issued in compliance with Section 4.03 hereof and (ii) such payments were scheduled to be paid in the original documentation governing such series of preferred stock or other securities (it being understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (h) shall not be deemed to permit the payment of any dividend or similar distribution, or the payment of the stated amount, liquidation preference or any similar amount, prior to the date originally scheduled for the payment thereof);

(i) payments in lieu of fractional shares;

(j) the redemption of the 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2007;

(k) interest payments on the 4.00% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2033 and the corresponding distributions paid to holders of the Trust PIERS;

(m) additional Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (m) in an aggregate amount not to exceed 5.0% of Consolidated Assets of the Company as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (with each such Restricted Payment being valued as of the date made and without regard to subsequent changes in value).

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.01 will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, whose determination with respect thereto will be conclusive.

Section 4.02. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly

26

or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(b) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(c) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements, provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date or in the Credit Agreement;

(b) the Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;

(c) applicable law;

(d) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred;

(e) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(f) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (c) of the preceding paragraph;

(g) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary or any assets thereof that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition;

(h) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not

27

materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(i) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under Section 4.06 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(j) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(k) restrictions imposed in connection with a financing transaction involving a sale or other disposition of accounts receivable and related assets (including, without limitation, in connection with a securitization or similar financing) or in connection with a financing involving a subsidiary trust or similar financing vehicle that is permitted by Section 4.03 hereof, provided, that such restrictions do not materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay interest and principal on the Notes when due; and

(l) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business or imposed by governmental agencies or authorities.

Section 4.03. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and the Company may issue Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue preferred stock (including Disqualified Stock) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

The first paragraph of this Section 4.03 will not prohibit the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(a) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (a) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $1.25 billion;

(b) Existing Indebtedness;

(c) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date;

28

(d) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (d), not to exceed $40.0 million at any time outstanding;

(e) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.03 or clauses (b), (c), (d), (j), (m), (n) or this clause (e) of this paragraph;

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

(g) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging (i) interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be outstanding or (ii) exchange rate risk with respect to obligations under any agreement or Indebtedness, or with respect to any asset, of such Person that is payable or denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars;

(h) the Guarantee by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.03;

(i) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock (including Disqualified Stock) in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock (including Disqualified Stock) will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock (including Disqualified Stock) for purposes of this Section 4.03; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued;

(j) the issuance of Convertible Subordinated Debentures and/or the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock in an aggregate principal amount (with the liquidation value of the Convertible Preferred Stock being treated as its principal amount for this purpose) not to exceed $500.0 million at any one time outstanding pursuant to this clause (j), plus the issuance of any related securities issued by a subsidiary trust or similar financing vehicle in connection therewith;

29

(k) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees, indemnities, hold backs or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets, including, without limitation, shares of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries, or contingent payment obligations incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets which are contingent on the performance of the assets acquired or disposed of;

(l) Indebtedness represented by (i) letters of credit for the account of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) other obligations to reimburse third parties pursuant to any surety bond or other similar arrangements, to the extent that such letters of credit and other obligations, as the case may be, are intended to provide security for workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance, in connection with participation in government reimbursement or other programs or other similar requirements in the ordinary course of business;

(m) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to purchase Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer; and

(n) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (which may include, but is not limited to, Indebtedness of the types referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (m)) 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 (n), not to exceed $100.0 million.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, 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 (a) through (n) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.03, the Company will be permitted to classify and reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated hereunder will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Debt.

Section 4.04. Asset Sales. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

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

(b) the fair market value is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors; and

(c) at least 70% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Replacement Assets. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(i) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary

30

(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 and from which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is released from further liability; and

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 60 days of receipt, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may apply those Net Proceeds at its option:

(a) to repay Senior Debt;

(b) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business;

(c) to make a capital expenditure;

(d) to acquire Replacement Assets; or

(e) to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited hereunder.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an offer ( an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth herein with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.03 hereof or this Section 4.04, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.03 hereof or this Section 4.04, by virtue of such conflict.

31

Section 4.05. Transactions with Affiliates. The Company shall not, and shall 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:

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

(b) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

(i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.05 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing in the United States.

The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

(a) directors’ fees, indemnification and similar arrangements, consulting fees, employee salaries, bonuses or employment agreements, compensation, retirement, disability, severance or employee benefit arrangements and incentive arrangements with, and loans and advances to, any officer, director or employee in the ordinary course of business;

(b) performance of all agreements in existence on the Issue Date and any modification thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby in any replacement agreement therefor so long as such modification or replacement is not materially more disadvantageous to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries than the original agreement in effect on the Issue Date;

(c) transactions in connection with a financing transaction involving a sale or other disposition of accounts receivable and related assets (including, without limitation, in connection with a securitization or similar financing) or in connection with a financing involving a subsidiary trust or similar financing vehicle that is permitted by Section 4.03 hereof;

(d) transactions in the ordinary course of business with any joint venture that is otherwise permitted by the Indenture; provided, that such joint venture is between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand and third parties that are not otherwise Affiliates of the Company on the other hand;

32

(e) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(f) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(g) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company; and

(h) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 4.06. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing pari passu or subordinated Indebtedness, or trade payables on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless (a) in the case of any Lien securing pari passu Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien that is senior in priority to or pari passu with such Lien and (b) in the case of any Lien securing subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien that is senior in priority to such Lien.

Section 4.07. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required hereby and described in such notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions hereof, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.07 by virtue of such conflict.

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

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

(b) 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

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

33

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 of $1,000.

Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.07, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company will either repay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.07. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.07, the Company 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 Section 4.07 and all other provisions of the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.08. No Senior Subordinated Debt. The Company shall 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 Company and senior in any respect 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 Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 4.09. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within 10 business days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which it was acquired or created.

Section 4.10. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Company 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 Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.01 or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. 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 of the Company may re-designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.

Section 4.11. Covenant Removal. From and after the first date on which both (a) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by each of Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and (b) there shall not exist a Default or Event of Default under the indenture (a “Rating Event”), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 (including the application of such Section 4.03 to the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary), 4.04, 4.05, 4.09, and clause (d) of the first paragraph

34

of Section 5.01 hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Rating Event, the Subsidiary Guarantees of each of the Guarantors will be automatically released.

Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of interest on the Notes and such default continues for a period of 30 days, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Base Indenture;

(b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Base Indenture;

(c) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to comply with any of the provisions of Sections 4.04, 4.07 or 5.01 hereof;

(d) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to observe or perform any other covenant or other agreement in the Indenture or the Notes for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class;

(e) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries defaults under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee exists as of the Issue Date, or is created after the date of the Issue Date, if that default:

36

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

(ii) 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 $35.0 million or more;

(f) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fail to pay final, non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $35.0 million that are not covered by insurance or as to which an insurer has not acknowledged coverage in writing, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(g) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

(iv) makes a general assignment of the benefit of its creditors, or

(h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

(i) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any final, non-appealable judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full forced and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on

37

behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee (unless such Guarantor could be designated as an Excluded Subsidiary).

Section 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee 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 immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03. Applicability of Certain Other Provisions. The Notes shall be subject to Sections 6.03 through 6.11 of the Base Indenture, except that the reference in Section 6.08 of the Base Indenture to clauses (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture shall be changed to clauses (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 hereof.

Section 6.04. Notice. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

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

ARTICLE X

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. The Notes shall be guaranteed by each of the Guarantors (each a “Subsidiary Guarantee”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 of the Base Indenture and the provisions of this Article X.

Section 10.02. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. A Guarantor 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 Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

(b) subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee.

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

40

satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee 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. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.03. Releases. The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guarantor shall not be required to assume the obligations of any such Guarantor:

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale complies with Sections 3.03 and 4.04 hereof;

(b) in connection with any sale 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 Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale complies with Sections 3.03 and 4.04 hereof;

(c) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary in accordance with the requirements hereof;

(d) if any Guarantor is otherwise no longer obligated to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to this Indenture; or

(e) if such Guarantor’s guarantee of any obligations under the Credit Agreement, or if the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, any other Indebtedness of the Company, is fully and unconditionally released, except that such Guarantor shall subsequently be required to become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel at such time as it guarantees any obligations under the Credit Agreement, or if the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, any other Indebtedness of the Company.

ARTICLE XI

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Applicability of Certain Provisions. The Notes shall be subject to Article 13 of the Base Indenture, except that Section 13.01 of the Base Indenture shall be amended to add the following provisions after paragraph (c) thereof:

41

“(d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; and

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

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01. Scope of this First Supplemental Indenture. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Indenture effected by this First Supplemental Indenture shall only be applicable with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued by the Company under the Indenture.

Section 12.02. Ratification of Indenture. The Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this First Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed part of the Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein and therein provided.

Section 12.03. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals therein contained are made by the Company and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture.

Section 12.04. Separability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this First Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, but this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

Section 12.05. Counterparts. This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 12.06. GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE NOTES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

42

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

6 ¹/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2013

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest.

Omnicare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein the “Company” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above from June 13, 2003 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semiannually on June 1 and December 1 in each year, commencing December 1, 2003, and at the Stated Maturity thereof, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on any Defaulted Interest to the extent permitted by law. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes on each June 1 and December 1 to the Persons who are registered Holders of the relevant Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the list provided by the Company to the Registrar and provided, further, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium if any and interest on all Global Securities and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, the Trustee under the Indenture will act as Paying agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 13, 2003 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 13, 2003 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and SunTrust Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustees and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. All Notes issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class of

A-2

securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in this Indenture and those made a part of this Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to this Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this security conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

5. Optional Redemption.

At any time prior to June 1, 2006, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the First Supplemental Indenture at a redemption price of 106.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(a) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this First Supplemental Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and

(b) the redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

At any time prior to June 1, 2008, the Company may redeem all but not part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the Applicable Redemption Premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

On or after June 1, 2008, the Company 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, if any on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below:

Year		Percentage
2008		103.063	%
2009		102.042	%
2010		101.021	%
2011 and thereafter		100.000	%

6. Mandatory Redemption.

Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

7. Repurchase at Option of Holder

If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall 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 and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice

A-3

to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by this Indenture.

If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within thirty days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25 million, the Company shall commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer) pursuant to Section 3.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes 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 thereon to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” 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. 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.

9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. A holder may register the transfer or exchange of the Security as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note 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 Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, this Indenture and 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 of each series affected by such amendment or supplement and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of each series affected by such waiver.

A-4

12. Defaults and Remedies.

Events of Default include: (a) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (b) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; (c) failure by the Company to comply with Sections 4.04, 4.07 or 5.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture; (d) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with certain other agreements in this Indenture or the Notes; (e) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (f) certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (g) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; and (h) except as permitted by the Indenture. any applicable Subsidiary Guarantee 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 its behalf shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee 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 involving the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce this 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 this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with this Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13. Trustee Dealings with Company.

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

A-5

14. No Recourse Against Others.

A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

15. Guarantees.

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS

Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of             , among                      (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Omnicare, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company and SunTrust Bank, as trustee under this Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of June 13, 2003, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 13, 2003 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 6 ¹/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, this 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 Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 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) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, 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 Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of 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 Company to the Holders or the

B-1

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 Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

(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 Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, 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 this Indenture.

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this 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 Article VI of the First Supplemental 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 Article VI of the First Supplemental 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 Guarantee.

(i) Pursuant to Section 12.04 of the Base Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and any 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 Article 12 of the Base 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.

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 Guarantor 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 Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

(b) subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Article V of the First Supplemental Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the

B-3

Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

5. Releases.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guarantor shall not be required to assume the obligations of any such Guarantor:

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition complies with Sections 3.03 and 4.04 of the First Supplemental Indenture;

(b) in connection with any sale 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 Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale complies with Sections 3.03 and 4.04 of the First Supplemental Indenture;

(c) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture;

(d) if any Guarantor is otherwise no longer obligated to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the Indenture; or

(e) if such Guarantor’s guarantee of any obligations under the Credit Agreement, or if the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, any other Indebtedness of the Company, is fully and unconditionally released, except that such Guarantor shall subsequently be required to become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel at such time as it guarantees any obligations under the Credit Agreement, or if the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, any other Indebtedness of the Company.

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 as provided in Article 12 of the Base Indenture and Article X of the First Supplemental Indenture.

6. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, any Subsidiary 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

B-4

waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC 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 Company.
