If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it

-31-

to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Section 2.06 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix.

Section 2.08 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Holder (a) provides

-32-

to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such evidence, (b) makes such request to the Issuer prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuer and the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes.

(a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for:

(1) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation;

(2) any Note which has been replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.08 unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced or paid Note is held by a protected purchaser; and

(3) on or after the maturity date or any redemption date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to an offer to purchase, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due.

(b) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note; provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded).

(c) If a Paying Agent segregates (if such Paying Agent is the Issuer or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer) and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case

-33-

may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) will cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holders. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

(ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of such Equity Offering.

Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof.

Section 3.03 Method and Effect of Redemption.

(a) If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price by delivering an Officers’ Certificate, to the effect that such redemption shall comply with the conditions set forth in this Article 3, 40 to 60 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is required or otherwise satisfactory to the Trustee). The Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which

-35-

the Notes are listed, provided, that any such requirements are set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee prior to any such selection or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

(b) Notice of redemption must be sent by the Issuer, or at the Issuer’s request by the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 of this Indenture. The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or state the following:

(i) the redemption date;

(ii) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;

(iii) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(iv) the names and addresses of the Paying Agents where Notes are to be surrendered;

(v) that notes called for redemption must be surrendered to a Paying Agent in order to collect the redemption price and any accrued interest or Additional Interest;

(vi) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption and that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(vii) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(viii) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed;

(ix) that if any Note is to be redeemed in part, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed part will be issued;

(x) any condition to such redemption;

-36-

(xi) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and

(xii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or CINS number, or “common number” listed in such notice or printed on the Notes and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(c) Once notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 3.03 is mailed to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to any Paying Agent, the Issuer shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price. Subject to Section 3.04, commencing on the redemption date, Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note.

Section 3.04 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is a Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes to be redeemed, unless a Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

(16) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (8) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, no more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances or restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

(2) make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) assets that, in each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss.

The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.

If any Excess Proceeds or additional Event of Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds or additional Event of Loss Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds or additional Event of Loss Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, provided, that any such requirements are set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee prior to any such selection, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis; provided, that the Trustee may make such adjustments (upward or downward) such that the principal amount of the Notes that are not purchased shall be in authorized denominations. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds or additional Event of Loss Proceeds will be reset at zero.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale and Event of Loss provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of such compliance. Prior to the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein relating to such offer have been complied with.

(f) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is mailed to Holders as provided above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds or the Events of

-53-

Loss Proceeds, as applicable, from the Asset Sales or Events of Loss, as applicable, pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b).

Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this Section 4.06. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price.

(g) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.

(h) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, in the time specified in Section 4.06(b), to each Holder at such Holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be purchased.

(i) A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased.

Section 4.07 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:

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, 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 on an arm’s-length basis;

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration equal to or less than $5.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a responsible Officer of the Issuer;

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) 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 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) an irrevocable notice of redemption for all of the Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.03(b) unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(g) At the time the Issuer delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(h) Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with.

(i) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Section 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with

-57-

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 provisions of this Section, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof.

Section 4.09 Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Issuer they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do know of such a Default, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act. In addition, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

Section 4.10 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 4.11 Liens. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

Section 4.12 Covenant Suspension. If at any time after the Issue Date: (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture at such time (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then until the end of the Suspension Period (as defined below) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.03, Section 4.04, Section 4.05, Section 4.07 and Section 5.01(iv) of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Description of the Notes as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(c) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock would be permitted

-58-

to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(c) such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(c)(iii).

Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a)(3) and the items specified in Section 4.04(a)(3)(v) through (3)(z) will increase the amount available to be made under Section 4.04(a)(i). As described above, however, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period.

The Issuer will notify the Trustee in an Officers’ Certificate of a Covenant Suspension Event and of a Reversion Date, promptly after the occurrence thereof.

Section 4.13 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 12.02.

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Issuer hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York as such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04.

Section 4.14 Business Activities. The Issuer shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.15 Maintenance of Insurance.

(a) The Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary will:

(i) with respect to GeoEye-1, obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect at all times In-Orbit Insurance for aggregate coverage, calculated after giving effect to the payment of any deductibles, in an amount equal to at least the lesser of (x) $250.0 million and (y) the maximum amount of coverage that the Issuer, using its reasonable best efforts, can obtain at such time in the insurance market without, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, resulting in a disproportionate expenditure for premiums when measured against the amount of coverage that can be obtained. At least once in every fiscal year after the Board of Directors shall have made any determination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to determine (and the Board of Directors shall consider the results of such efforts) whether higher amounts of such insurance are so available without, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, resulting in a disproportionate expenditure for premiums when measured against the amount of coverage that can be obtained, and, if so, shall obtain such higher amount, subject in any event to the first sentence of this clause (i);

(ii) with respect to each Satellite to be launched by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect at all times launch insurance covering the launch of such Satellite and one year thereafter, for aggregate coverage, calculated after giving effect to the payment of any deductibles, in an amount equal to at least the lesser of (x) $250.0 million and (y) the maximum amount of coverage that the Issuer, using its reasonable best efforts, can obtain at such time in the insurance market without, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, resulting in a disproportionate expenditure for premiums when measured against the amount of coverage that can be obtained. At least once in every fiscal year after the Board of Directors shall have made any determination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to determine (and the Board of Directors shall consider the results of such efforts) whether higher amounts of such insurance are so available without, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, resulting in a disproportionate expenditure for premiums when measured against the amount of coverage that can be obtained, and, if so, shall obtain such higher amount, subject in any event to the first sentence of this clause (ii); and

(iii) from and after the first anniversary of the launch of any Satellite to be launched by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect at all times In-Orbit Insurance for total aggregate coverage of all of the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Satellites, calculated after giving effect to the payment of any deductibles, in an amount equal to at least the lesser of (x) 110% of the Issuer’s Insurance Test Net Debt outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and (y) the total combined net book value of all Satellites in orbit as of such date; provided that if the Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment that, after use by the Issuer of reasonable best efforts, insurance in

-60-

the amount at least equal to the lesser of (x) and (y) above is not available at reasonable cost and terms, then the Issuer shall obtain and maintain such insurance at such lesser amount as is equal to the highest amount so available at such time in the insurance market without, in the reasonable good faith of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, resulting in a disproportionate expenditure for premiums when measured against the amount of coverage that can be obtained. At least once in every fiscal year after the Board of Directors shall have made any determination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to determine (and the Board of Directors shall consider the results of such efforts) whether higher amounts of such insurance are so available without, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, resulting in a disproportionate expenditure for premiums when measured against the amount of coverage that can be obtained, and, if so, shall obtain such higher amount, subject in any event to the lesser of (x) and (y) in the preceding sentence.

(b) The insurance policies required by Section 4.15(a) shall

(i) contain no exclusions other than such exclusions or limitations of coverage as may be applicable to a substantial portion of Satellites of the same model or relating to systemic failures or anomalies as are then customary in the Satellite insurance market, and

(ii) provide coverage for all risks of loss of and damage to the Satellite, including for partial loss (subject to deductibles not to exceed 10%), constructive total loss and total loss.

The insurance required by this Section 4.15 shall name the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders as an additional named insured and loss payee.

(c) Within 30 days following any date on which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is required to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 4.15, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an insurance certificate certifying the amount of insurance then carried and in full force and effect, and an Officers’ Certificate stating that such insurance, together with any other insurance maintained by the Issuer and the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, complies with the requirements of this Indenture. In addition, the Issuer will cause to be delivered to the Trustee no less than once each year an insurance certificate setting forth the amount of insurance then carried, which insurance certificate shall entitle the Trustee on behalf of the Holders to at least 15 days’ notice from the provider of such insurance prior to the cancellation of any such insurance, and an Officers’ Certificate that complies with the first sentence of this paragraph. The Issuer will also deliver to the Trustee (i) notice of any claim under any such insurance policy promptly after any claim is made, and (ii) no less than once each fiscal quarter an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture certifying as to the Issuer’s compliance with this Section 4.15, provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation with respect to any such insurance or any such notice.

(d) In the event that the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries receive proceeds from any insurance covering any Satellite owned by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or in the event that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives proceeds from any

-61-

insurance maintained for it by any Satellite Manufacturer or any launch provider covering any of such Satellites (the event resulting in the payment of such proceeds, a “Satellite Event of Loss”), all Event of Loss Proceeds in respect of such Satellite Event of Loss shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 4.06.

Section 4.16 Future Subsidiary Guarantors; Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires, incorporates, forms or otherwise establishes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall within 30 days after the date of such acquisition, incorporation, formation or establishment:

(1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee on a senior secured first-priority basis (subject to Permitted Liens) all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in Article 11;

(2) execute and deliver to the Trustee Security Documents or joinders to Security Documents in form administratively satisfactory to the Trustee to evidence the first-priority Lien on and security interest in (subject to Permitted Liens) substantially all of the assets of such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and take such other actions as shall be necessary or advisable to perfect such Lien and security interest; and such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall also comply with Section 10.09(c);

(3) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture and Security Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary.

Thereafter, such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of a Note, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

(c) Any Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, and that all security interests in and Liens on the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor and on the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary

-62-

Guarantor shall be released automatically and with no further action on the part of any Person upon:

(i) any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person which is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of all of the Issuer’s Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ii) the Issuer’s designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

(iii) the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with Section 8.01 or the Issuer exercising its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under Section 8.02.

Section 4.17 Restriction on Certain Proceeds. On the Issue Date, the Issuer shall deposit the Original Issuance Restricted Amount into the Satellite Construction Collateral Account. The Original Issuance Restricted Amount will only be available to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to finance the procurement, construction and/or launch of one or more Satellites after the Issue Date, provided that at the time of any such withdrawal from the Satellite Construction Collateral Account, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall have been selected by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency for an award with respect to a new Satellite. Any amount of the Original Issuance Restricted Amount not applied to finance the procurement, construction and/or launch of one or more Satellites after the Issue Date may, at the Issuer’s option, be used to make an offer to all Holders (a “Restricted Proceeds Offer”) to purchase Notes at an offer price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.06 as if such amount of Original Issuance Restricted Amount were Excess Proceeds (disregarding for the purposes of this Section 4.17 only, the $15.0 million threshold described in Section 4.06(d)). If any Original Issuance Restricted Amount remains after consummation of such a Restricted Proceeds Offer, the Issuer may use that remaining Original Issuance Restricted Amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

-66-

judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed,

(f) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (f) and (g) of this Section 6.01 with respect to the Issuer) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee (if given by Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clauses (f) and (g) above with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind and cancel an acceleration and its consequences if:

(i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration;

(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iv) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and

(v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clauses (f) and (g) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders of such Indebtedness have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may

-68-

be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a Default or an Event of Default in the payment when due and payable after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on a Note after giving effect to any applicable cure or grace period or (b) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision that under Section 9.02 or under the Security Documents cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Security Documents or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture or the Security Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

-69-

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07 Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,

-70-

adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities. Subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, and, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be paid out in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07 and to the Collateral Agent for amounts owing to it under the Security Agreement for compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnitees;

SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes.

Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Guarantee or the Notes, it

-74-

shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default within the 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers’ in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to the Holders. By no later than August 1, beginning with the August 1 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of the previous June 1 that complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys. fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or a Guarantee against the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense or situation adverse to the indemnified party in its sole discretion. The Issuer need not reimburse

-75-

any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, or gross negligence.

To secure the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee or Collateral Agent, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to Sections 7.07 and 8.06 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

For the purposes of this Section 7.07 and Section 8.06, the word “Trustee” shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, provided that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to

-76-

the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated.

(ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes issued thereunder concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) or insofar as Events of Default (other than Events of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) resulting from the borrowing of funds or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91^st day after the date of deposit;

(v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

(a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.

(b) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but is not required to sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof

-84-

(including Section 9.03). The provisions of this Section 9.06 shall also apply mutatis mutandis to the Collateral Agent.

Section 9.08 Additional Voting Terms. All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

Upon compliance by the Issuer with the conditions precedent set forth above, the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on such Collateral shall automatically terminate and be released and the Collateral Agent shall cause to be released and reconveyed to the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor the Released Collateral without recourse, representation or warranty by executing a release in the form provided by the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor and reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, in each case, without the consent of the Holders.

(ii) the Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any act that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or thereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or of the Collateral Agent).

-92-

(b) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or refiling any financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Security Documents or otherwise.

(i) a request to the Trustee that such Collateral be added;

(ii) the form of instrument adding such Collateral, which, based on the type and location of the property subject thereto, shall be in substantially the form of the applicable Security Documents entered into on the date of this Indenture, with such changes thereto as the Issuer shall consider appropriate, or in such other form as the Issuer shall deem proper; provided that any such changes or such form are administratively satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent;

(iii) an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture to the addition of such Collateral have been complied with, which Opinion of Counsel shall also opine as to the creation and perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien on such Collateral and as to the due authorization, execution and delivery, validity and enforceability of the Security Document being entered into; and

-93-

equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 10.

Section 10.12 Trust Indenture Act Requirements. The release of any Collateral from the Lien of any of the Security Documents or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents will not be deemed to impair the security interests in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral or Liens are released pursuant to the applicable Security Documents and pursuant to the terms hereof. The Trustee and each of the Holders acknowledge that a release of Collateral or Liens strictly in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents and the terms hereof will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the Security Interests in contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Issuer will comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act §314(b) and Trust Indenture Act §314(d). Any certificate or opinion required by Trust Indenture Act §314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Issuer except in cases where Trust Indenture Act §314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be required to comply with all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act §314(d) if they determine, in good faith based on advice of counsel (which may be internal counsel), that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act §314(d) is inapplicable to the released Collateral. To the extent the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Trust Indenture Act §314(b)(2), the Issuer will furnish such opinion prior to each anniversary of the Issue Date.

ARTICLE 11
GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Guarantees of the Notes.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives notice of protest for

-94-

nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 11.02, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guarantor Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations, or (h) by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 4.16(c). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

(e) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding). Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby

-95-

waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

(f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section.

(g) This Article 11 shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Holders and the Collateral Agent and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder, the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Liability; Release and Discharge. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Section 4.16.

Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or with respect to Subsidiary Guarantors that become such after the Issue Date, a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D to this Indenture) shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. If required by Section 4.16 hereof, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired

-96-

Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.16 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

Section 11.04 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer, or any other Subsidiary Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 11.04 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 11.05 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor Obligations.

The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2010.³ Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from October 9, 2009⁴ until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable security law of any State in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, provided that the disposition of our property and the property of any accounts for which we are acting as fiduciary will remain at all times within our or their control. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf, the Issuer’s behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Issuer, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably

believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver to the Trustee a written certificate in the form provided in the Note, to the effect that the transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A, as the case may be. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver to the Trustee certificates Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee in order to determine that the proposed transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable law. No representation is made as to the availability of any Rule 144A exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
