(iii) Members of, or participants in, DTC ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by DTC or by the Trustee as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Security, and DTC may be treated by

the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

(iv) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Securities, the Securities Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Securities of like tenor and amount.

(e) Definitive Securities. (i) Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be entitled to receive certificated Securities ("Definitive Securities"). If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Securities in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security upon written request in accordance with DTC's and the Registrar's procedures. In addition, Definitive Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if (a) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Security or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or, (b) the Issuer executes and delivers to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers' Certificate stating that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (c) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from DTC.

SECTION 2.2 Execution and Authentication. An Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates the Security. The signature of the Trustee on a Security shall be conclusive evidence that such Security has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million, (the "Original Securities"), (2) any Additional Securities for original issue from time to time after the Issue Date in such principal amounts as set forth in Section 2.16 and (3) any Exchange Securities for issue only in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Securities, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by two Officers of the Issuer or by one Officer and an Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer (an "Issuer Order"). Such Issuer Order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities or Exchange Securities. The initial aggregate principal amount of notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $750.0 million. Additionally, the Issuer may from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Holders, issue such additional principal amounts of Additional Securities as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (2) of this paragraph, and Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of the same class pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 3.6, Section 9.5 and except for transactions similar to the Registered Exchange Offer.

The Trustee may appoint an agent (the "Authenticating Agent") reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

In case the Issuer or the Guarantor, in each case pursuant to Article V, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or the Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto (if not otherwise a party to the Indenture) with the Trustee pursuant to Article V, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person (if other than the Issuer or the Guarantor) pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person (if other than the Issuer or the Guarantor), at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

SECTION 2.3 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the "Registrar") and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more additional paying agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any such additional paying agent.

In the event the Issuer shall retain any Person not a party to this Indenture as an agent hereunder, the Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to

Section 7.7. The Issuer shall be responsible for the fees and compensations of all agents appointed or approved by it. Either the Issuer or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Securities.

SECTION 2.4 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 12:00 (noon) p.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any Principal or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such Principal or interest (including any Additional Interest) when due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of Principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer or the Guarantor in making any such payment. If either of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.

SECTION 2.5 Securityholder 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 Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders.

SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Rule 144A Note prior to the date which is two years after the later of the date of its original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date"):

(ii) a transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.8 from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuer or the Trustee, the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them.

(b) The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period:

Regulation S Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, for credit to the respective accounts of the Holders (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at the Euroclear System, or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in Regulations S Global Notes may be held through organizations other than Euroclear or Clearstream that are participants in the DTC system and interests in the Regulation S Note may be transferred without requiring certification set forth in Section 2.8 or any additional certification.

(c) Restricted Securities Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing a Restricted Securities Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear a Restricted Securities Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing a Restricted Securities Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear a Restricted Securities Legend unless there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(d) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Resale Restriction Termination Date and the Restricted Period.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6.

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.7. [Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 2.8. Form of Certificate to be Delivered in Connection with Transfers Pursuant to Regulation S.

Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a form of certificate to be delivered in connection with transfers pursuant to Regulation S.

SECTION 2.9. Business Days. If a payment date is on a date that is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period. If a regular record date is on a day that is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

SECTION 2.10. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security shall provide the Issuer and the Trustee with evidence to their satisfaction that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. In addition, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.11. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled, those delivered for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.11 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.10, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates 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 Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.12. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Securities representing an equal principal amount of Securities. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.13. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer or exchange or payment. The Trustee and no

one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, which shall not prohibit the Issuer from issuing any Additional Securities, or any Exchange Securities in exchange for Initial Securities. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee may be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its then customary practices and procedures, unless the Issuer directs otherwise.

SECTION 2.14. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful at the rate specified therefor in the Securities in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Securityholders 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 which specified record date shall not be less than 10 days prior to the payment date for such defaulted interest and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.15. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" 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 Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers.

SECTION 2.16. Issuance of Additional Securities. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue, from time to time, Additional Securities under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date or the Exchange Securities exchanged therefor (in each case, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto), as the case may be. The Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

With respect to any Additional Securities, the Issuer shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers' Certificate, a copy of each shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(ii) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of any such Additional Securities and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto;

(iii) whether such Additional Securities shall be transfer restricted securities and issued in the form of Initial Securities as set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture; and

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

At the Issuer's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name of the Issuer and at the Issuer's expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.3.

SECTION 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3, Securities called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price as stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent on or after the redemption date, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date; provided that the Issuer shall have deposited the redemption price with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before 12:00 (noon) p.m. (New York City time) on the date of redemption; provided, further, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the Securityholder of the redeemed Securities 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.

SECTION 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof (at the Issuer's expense) a new Security, equal in a principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 4.2. Limitations on Liens. (a) So long as any Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer may not directly or indirectly, Incur, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness secured by a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance (mortgages, security interests, pledges, liens, charges and other encumbrances being hereinafter in this Article 4 referred to as "mortgage" or "mortgages") upon any property or assets (including Capital Stock) of the Issuer, or any of its Subsidiaries or upon any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any of its Subsidiaries (whether such property, assets, shares of stock or Indebtedness are now existing or owed or hereafter created or acquired) without in any such case effectively providing, concurrently with the Incurrence of any such secured Indebtedness, or the grant of a mortgage with respect to any such Indebtedness to be so secured, that the Securities or, in respect of mortgages on the Guarantor's property or assets, the Guarantee (together with, if the Issuer shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of or Guarantee by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries ranking equally with the Securities or the Guarantee) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the Issuer's option, prior to) such Indebtedness to be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(1) mortgages on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness or other assets of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such mortgage was not Incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a Subsidiary;

(2) mortgages on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness existing at the time of acquisition thereof by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (which may include property previously leased by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries and leasehold interests thereon; provided that the lease terminates prior to or upon the acquisition) or mortgages thereon to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof, or mortgages on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness to secure any Indebtedness for borrowed money Incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 18 months after, the latest of the acquisition thereof, or, in the case of property, the completion of construction, the completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof, such construction or the making of such improvements;

(3) mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Subsidiary owing to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries;

(4) mortgages existing on the Issue Date;

(5) mortgages on property of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such mortgage was not Incurred in anticipation of such merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition;

(6) mortgages created in connection with a project financed with, and created to secure, a Nonrecourse Obligation;

(7) mortgages securing all of the Securities; or

(8) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (7), inclusive, without increase of the principal of the Indebtedness secured thereby; provided, however, that any mortgages permitted by any of the foregoing clauses (1) to (7), inclusive, shall not extend to or cover any property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness secured by mortgages which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Securities, or in respect of mortgages on the Guarantor's property or assets, the Guarantee; provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness so secured by mortgages (not including mortgages permitted under clauses (1) through (8) above), does not at the time exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Assets of the Issuer.

SECTION 4.3. 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 signed by its principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer 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 or Event of Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with TIA §314(a)(4).

SECTION 4.4. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon reasonable request of the Trustee, the Issuer will 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 4.5. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain the office or agency required under Section 2.3. The Issuer shall give prior 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 11.2.

SECTION 4.6. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by Article V, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation or other Person and USANi LLC shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a limited liability company or other Person.

SECTION 4.7. SEC Reports. The Issuer will comply with all the applicable provisions of TIA §314(a). Delivery of such information, documents or reports to the Trustee pursuant to such provisions is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer's compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on the Officers' Certificate).

ARTICLE V

Successor Issuer or Guarantor

SECTION 5.1. When the Issuer or the Guarantor May Merge or Transfer Assets. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor will consolidate with or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any other Person, unless:

(i) the Issuer, or in the case of the Guarantor, the Issuer or the Guarantor, shall be the continuing entity, or the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the "Successor") shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor (if not the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Securities and this Indenture;

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

(iii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture (except that such Opinion of Counsel need not opine as to Clause (ii) above) and that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal valid and binding obligation of the Successor subject to customary exceptions.

The Successor will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Indenture, but the predecessor Issuer in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the restrictions contained in this Section 5.1 shall cease to apply to the Guarantor immediately upon any discharge, defeasance, waiver (to the same extent as such waiver) or termination of the Guarantor's obligations under Section 5.1 of the Old Indenture or upon termination of the Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.2.

ARTICLE VI

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" occurs with respect to the Securities if:

(1) the Issuer defaults in any payment of interest (including Additional Interest) on any Security when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Principal of any Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon declaration or otherwise;

(3) the Issuer fails to comply with any of its agreements in the Securities or this Indenture (other than those referred to in (1) or (2) above) and such failure continues for 90 days after the notice specified below;

(4) the Issuer fails to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, in respect of Indebtedness of the Issuer in an amount in excess of $25,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or composite currency and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after the notice specified below; provided, however, that if any such failure shall cease, or

be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been cured;

(5) a default with respect to any Indebtedness of the Issuer, which default results in the acceleration of Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $25,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or composite currency without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for a period of 30 days after written notice specified below; provided, however, that if any such default or acceleration shall be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been cured;

(6) the Issuer pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case;

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case in which it is the debtor;

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

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

(A) is for relief against the Issuer in an involuntary case;

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property; or

(or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws) and the order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

(8) the Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect during its term or the Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under the terms of this Indenture or the Guarantee, in each case, other than any such cessation, denial or disaffirmation in connection with the termination of the Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.2.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

If any failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses (4) or (5) above shall cease or be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured.

A Default with respect to Securities under clauses (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 6.1 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee (by notice to the Issuer) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee) gives notice of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in said clause (3),

(4) or (5) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default".

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers' Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 6.1, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the Principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such Principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) occurs and is continuing, the Principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree (other than a judgment or decree for the payment of Principal or interest or monies due on the Securities) and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of Principal or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration and the Trustee has been paid all amounts due to it pursuant to Section 7.7. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of Principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder 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, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative.

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive any past or existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of the Principal of or interest on a Security or (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. Upon provision of reasonable indemnity to the Trustee satisfactory to the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee, which may rely on opinions of counsel, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee 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.

SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. A Holder of Securities may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

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

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity 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 aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder.

SECTION 6.7 Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, 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 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

SECTION 6.9 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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityhholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to an Issuer, its creditors or any other obligor upon the Securities, or any of their creditors or the property of the Issuer or such other obligor or their creditors 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 7.7.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities. Any money or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to Article VI hereof, or any money or other property otherwise distributable in respect of the Issuer's or the Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under Section 7.7;

SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for Principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for Principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuer.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Securityholder and the Trustee 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 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

SECTION 6.12 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not 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 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives 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.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

SECTION 7.1 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers' Certificates and Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such Officers' Certificates and Opinions of Counsel which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers' Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct, except that:

(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

Money and other property held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other money or property except to the extent required by law.

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1 and to the provisions of the TIA, where applicable.

SECTION 7.2 Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes, suffers to exist or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee's conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities unless either (1) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Trust Officer of the Trustee by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Holder of the Securities.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, including its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities as Registrar and Paying Agent, as the case may be, hereunder.

SECTION 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.4 Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities or any offering document, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Securities and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment of Principal of or interest on any Security, 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 not opposed to the interests of Securityholders.

SECTION 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to July 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA §313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b). The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Issuer a copy of any report it delivers to Holders pursuant to this Section 7.6.

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

SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. 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, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including costs of collection, in addition to such compensation for its services, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the Issuer reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business; provided that prior approval by the Issuer of any such expenditure shall not be a requirement for the making of such expenditure nor for reimbursement by the Issuer thereof. The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and any predecessor Trustees against any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee's compensation hereunder) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Issuer has been prejudiced by such failure. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable, in the defense of any such claim, and, if (in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee) the facts and/or issues surrounding the claim are reasonably likely to create a conflict with the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Trustee. The

Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

To secure the Issuer's payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay Principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Issuer's payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction, discharge and termination of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any discharge of this Indenture including any discharge under any bankruptcy law. In addition to and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time with 30 days notice to the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, may remove the Trustee with 30 days notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee, which successor Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

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

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer and the Issuer shall pay all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Indenture. 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 Securityholders affected by such resignation or removal. 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 7.7.

If a successor Trustee does not take office with respect to the Securities within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer's obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or

banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation shall be eligible under this Article Seven and TIA §310(a).

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA §310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA §310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA §310(b)(1) are met. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in TIA §310(b) with respect to the Securities, there shall be excluded the Old Notes issued under the Old Indenture.

Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

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

ARTICLE VIII

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.1 Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. With respect to the Securities, (a) when (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof or the Securities will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or the Securities are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and, in each case of this clause (ii), the Issuer irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date, and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.1(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers' Certificate from the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel from the Issuer that all conditions precedent provided herein for relating to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with and at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its and the Guarantor's respective obligations under the Securities and this Indenture ("legal defeasance option") or (ii) its obligations under Section 4.2 and the operation of Sections 6.1(3) (other than any obligations

under Article V hereof), 6.1(4), 6.1(5) and 6.1(8) ("covenant defeasance option"). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises it legal defeasance option with respect to the Securities, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(3) (except with respect to obligations under Article V hereof), 6.1(4), 6.1(5) or 6.1(8).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates. Upon the discharge of Issuer obligations as a result of the exercise of the legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option, the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee and this Indenture shall terminate.

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer's obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.10, 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, 7.7, 7.8, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 and Section 2.3 of the Appendix shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer's and the Trustee's obligations in Sections 7.7, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive.

SECTION 8.2 Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to the Securities only if:

(i) the Issuer irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of Principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay Principal and interest when due on all outstanding Securities (except Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.7) to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of Principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay Principal and interest when due on all outstanding Securities (except Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.7) to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(iii) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

(iv) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other material agreement binding on the Issuer;

(v) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(vi) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

(vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and

(viii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with.

Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

SECTION 8.3 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations either directly or through the Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities.

SECTION 8.4 Repayment to the Issuer. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of Principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date of payment of such Principal and interest, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.

Anything in this Section 8.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the absence of a written request from the Issuer to return unclaimed funds to the Issuer, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest.

SECTION 8.5 Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the defeased Securities; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to charge any such tax, fee or other charge to such Holder's account.

SECTION 8.6 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, (a) if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or Principal of any Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent and (b) unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and U.S. Government Obligations to

the Issuer promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement of the Issuer's obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.

ARTICLE IX

Amendments

SECTION 9.1 Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

(i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(ii) to comply with Article 5;

(iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are as described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

(iv) to add guarantees with respect to the Securities;

(v) to add security for the Securities;

(vi) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of all the Securities or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

(vii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder;

(viii) to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with qualifying this Indenture under the TIA; and

(ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities, which will have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the Initial Securities will be modified or eliminated, as appropriate), and to provide for the issuance of any Additional Securities, which will have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities or the Exchange Securities (in each case, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto), as the case may be, and which will be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Securities and any Additional Securities, as a single issue of securities.

After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.1.

SECTION 9.2 With Consent of Holders. The Issuer and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for Securities). However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment may not:

(i) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;

(iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Security;

(iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may be redeemed in accordance with Article 3;

(v) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security;

(vi) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of Principal of and interest on such Holder's Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Securities;

(vii) make any changes that would affect the ranking for the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders;

(viii) release the Guarantee (except as otherwise provided in this indenture) or make any changes to the Guarantee in any manner materially adverse to the Holders; or

(ix) make any change in the second sentence of this Section 9.2.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2.

SECTION 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it shall bind every Securityholder.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders 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 Securityholders 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.

SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuer shall provide in writing to the Trustee an appropriate notation to be placed on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.6. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment 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 need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.4, an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment complies with the provisions of this Article 9 and that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal valid and binding obligation of the Issuer in accordance with its terms subject to customary exceptions.

SECTION 9.7. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of a Security for, or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders of a Securities that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

ARTICLE X

Guarantee

SECTION 10.1. Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder of the Securities 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 Securities and all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the "Obligations"). The Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the 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 X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

The Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be 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 Securities 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 Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; or (e) any change in the ownership of the Issuer.

The Guarantor further agrees that the 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 Obligations.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the 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 Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or 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 the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

The Guarantor further agrees that the 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 or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the 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 Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

The Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section.

SECTION 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.

The Guarantor will be automatically released from all its obligations under the Securities, this Indenture and the Guarantee, and the Guarantee will automatically terminate, without any further action being required, at such time as (a) the Guarantor consolidates with, or sells, leases or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to, or merges with or into, the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.1, or (b) the Old Notes cease to be outstanding or the Guarantor's obligations under the Old Notes and the Old Indenture are discharged or defeased pursuant to the terms thereof.

SECTION 10.3. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

By no later than 12:00 (noon) p.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any Principal of or interest on any Security is due and payable, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such Principal and/or interest. The Issuer will pay interest (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay Principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository Trust Company. The Issuer may make all payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof or by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, JPMorgan Chase Bank, a New York banking corporation (the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Securityholder. The Issuer or any of its domestically organized wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent.

4. Indenture

A-2

used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.

The Securities are senior obligations of the Issuer. The Security is one of the Initial Securities referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities issued in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Indenture and the Exchange Securities issued in exchange for the Initial Securities or Additional Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Securities, any Additional Securities and the Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to create liens and enter into mergers and consolidations.

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Guarantor has unconditionally guaranteed such obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The Guarantor will be automatically released from all its obligations under the Securities, the Indenture and the Guarantee, and the Guarantee will automatically terminate, pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Indenture.

5. Optional Redemption

The Securities are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, obtained by discounting the Remaining Scheduled Payments to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for the Securities, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the second Business Day immediately preceding such redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Issuer.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date for the Securities, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal

A-3

amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. (and its successors) and three other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are Primary Treasury Dealers specified from time to time by the Issuer; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each Security to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the Principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.

Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable by the Issuer prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

6. Notice of Redemption

Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. Securities in denominations of principal amount larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

7. Registration Rights

The Issuer is party to an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2002, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. pursuant to which it is obligated to pay Additional Interest (as defined therein) upon the occurrence of certain Registration Defaults (as defined therein).

8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register, transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the date of such selection.

9. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of Principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years after the date of payment of Principal and interest, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such

A-4

payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer and not to the Trustee for payment.

Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, in the absence of a written request from the Issuer to return unclaimed funds to the Issuer, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee.

11. Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

12. Amendment, Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or to add guarantees with respect to the Securities or to add security for the Securities, or to add additional covenants of or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Issuer, or to comply with any request of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Act, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder.

13. Defaults and Remedies

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (ii) default in payment of Principal on the Securities at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, upon declaration or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Issuer to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) a failure to pay within any grace period after maturity other indebtedness of the Issuer in an amount in excess of $25 million, subject to notice and lapse of time; provided, however, that if any such failure shall cease, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been cured; (v) certain accelerations of other indebtedness of the Issuer if the amount accelerated exceeds $25 million, subject to notice and lapse of time; provided, however, that if any such default or acceleration shall be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been cured; (vi) except as contemplated by the terms of the Indenture, the Guarantee ceasing to be in full force and effect or the Guarantor denying or disaffirming in writing its obligations under the Indenture or the Guarantee and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Issuer.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

A-5

amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of Principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to their interest.

14. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

15. No Recourse Against Others

A director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Issuer), as such, of each of the Issuer or the Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor under the Securities, the Indenture or the Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

16. Authentication

This Security shall not be valid until an authorized officer of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

17. Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (tenants in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (custodian) and U/G/M/A (Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

18. [CUSIP Numbers

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers and/or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.] [For Securities to be issued with CUSIP numbers.]

19. Governing Law

This Security shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York 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.
