Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication; Aggregate Principal Amount; PIK Bonds.
(a) An Officer (who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall
sign the Bonds for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is
on a Bond was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office or position
at the time the Trustee authenticates the Bond, the Bond shall nevertheless be valid. A Bond shall
not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the Bond. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond has been
authenticated under this Indenture.
(b) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”)
reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Bonds. Unless otherwise provided in the
appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate the Bonds whenever the Trustee may do so.
24
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by
such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with
the Company and Affiliates of the Company.
(c) (i) The Trustee shall authenticate Original Bonds, for original issue on the Issue Date,
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000,000, upon a written order of the Company in
the form of an Officers’ Certificate and receipt of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee
covering such matters as the Trustee reasonably requests, including an opinion relating to the
validity and enforceability of the Financing Documents against the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, as applicable. In addition, each such Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount
of Original Bonds to be authenticated and the date on which the Original Bonds are to be
authenticated.
(ii) If a Shortfall exists on any Interest Payment Date (other than any Interest
Payment Date that is also a Redemption Date) between and including November 16, 2007 and
November 16, 2010, such Shortfall shall be payable through the issuance of PIK Bonds in an
aggregate principal amount equal to such Shortfall. Upon the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate specified in clause (x) of Section 2.13, the Company may so issue, and
if so issued, the Trustee shall authenticate, as necessary, such PIK Bonds without the
consent of any Holder, in which case the aggregate principal amount of the Original Bonds
would be increased in the amount of such PIK Bonds. Any XXX Xxxx shall be designated
generally as a Bond for all purposes under this Indenture. Any XXX Xxxx issued pursuant to
this Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be part of the same class, and shall have the same
terms and rights, as the Original Bonds, except that interest on such XXX Xxxx shall begin
to accrue from the date of issuance of such XXX Xxxx rather than the Issue Date. To the
extent that the principal amount of any PIK Bonds to be issued would not be in an integral
multiple of $1.00, the principal amount of such PIK Bonds shall be increased to the next
highest integral multiple of $1.00 if the excess over the closes integral multiple of $1.00
is $0.50 or more, but any such excess of less than $0.50 shall be extinguished. The payment
of any Obligation by the issuance of any XXX Xxxx shall not otherwise be permitted.
(d) The Bonds shall be issuable in fully registered form only (for purposes of registration of
transfer as described in Section 2.03 below), without coupons, in denominations of, with
respect to the Original Bonds, $100,000 in principal amount and in $1,000 multiples thereof, and
with respect to the PIK Bonds $1.00 in principal amount and in $1.00 multiples thereof.
Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Company shall maintain an office or agency, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust
Office, where (a) Bonds may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange (the “Registrar”), (b) Bonds may be presented or surrendered for payment (the
“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Bonds
and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Bonds in which the
Registrar shall register the transfer and exchange of the Bonds (the “Register”). The
Company, upon prior written notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-Registrars and one or
more additional Paying Agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional Paying Agent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act
as Paying Agent.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent and such Agent shall otherwise be
reasonably satisfactory to
25
the Trustee. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the
foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee, as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service
of demands and notices in connection with the Bonds. The Paying Agent or the Registrar may resign
upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Company.
Section 2.04. Obligations of Paying Agent.
The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
such Paying Agent shall hold separate and apart from, and not commingle with any other properties,
for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment
of principal of, or interest on, the Bonds (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the
Company or any other obligor on the Bonds), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the
Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Bonds) in making any
such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by
it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the
continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying
Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the
Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.
Section 2.05. Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA
Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish or cause the
Registrar to furnish to the Trustee before each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing a list as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
request of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by
the Trustee.
Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, when Bonds are presented
to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Bonds or to
exchange such Bonds for an equal principal amount of Bonds of other authorized denominations, the
Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided,
however, that the Bonds presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing and such other documents as the Registrar or co-Registrar may reasonably
require. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate Bonds at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s written request. No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge
payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.10 or 3.06, in which
event the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).
The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of
any Bond (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the
mailing of a notice of redemption of Bonds and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing and
26
(ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the
unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part.
Any Holder of a Global Bond shall, by acceptance of such Global Bond, agree that transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Bond may be effected only through DTC, in accordance with this
Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.
Section 2.07. Replacement Bonds.
If a mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Bond claims in writing
that the Bond has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then, in the absence of written notice
to the Company upon its request or the Trustee that such Bond has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Bond of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding if the Trustee’s
requirements are met. Except with respect to mutilated Bonds, if required by the Trustee or the
Company, such Holder must provide an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity bond or other
indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Company and the Trustee, to protect the Company,
the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Bond is replaced. The
Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Bond,
including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of the Trustee and its counsel. In case
any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Bond instead of issuing a new Bond in
replacement thereof. Every replacement Bond shall constitute an additional obligation of the
Company, entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.08. Outstanding Bonds.
Bonds outstanding at any time are all the Bonds that have been authenticated by the Trustee
except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, a Bond
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Bond.
If a Bond is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Bond
surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Bond is held by a protected purchaser for value. A mutilated
Bond ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Bond and replacement thereof pursuant to
Section 2.07.
If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Paying Agent holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S.
Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
due on, the Bonds payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such amounts to the
Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Bonds
cease to be outstanding and interest on such Bonds ceases to accrue.
Section 2.09. Treasury Bonds; When Bonds Are Disregarded.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Bonds have concurred in
any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Bonds owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall
be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Bonds which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered.
Bonds so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee
establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such
Bonds and that the pledgee is not the
27
Company or any other obligor upon the Bonds or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other
obligor. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing (which notice shall constitute actual
notice for purposes of the foregoing sentence), when it or any of its Affiliates repurchases or
otherwise acquires Bonds, of the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds so repurchased or
otherwise acquired.
Section 2.10. Temporary Bonds.
Until definitive Bonds are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate temporary Bonds upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary
Bonds to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Bonds are to be authenticated.
Temporary Bonds shall be substantially in the form of definitive Bonds but may have variations that
the Company considers appropriate for temporary Bonds. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a written order of the Company
pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Bonds in exchange for temporary Bonds. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Bonds.
Section 2.11. Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Bonds previously authenticated hereunder which the Company
has acquired in any lawful manner, to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying
Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Bonds surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one
else, shall cancel all Bonds surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject
to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Bonds to replace Bonds that it has paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Bonds, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by
such Bonds unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to
this Section 2.11. The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Bonds in accordance with
customary procedures or, subject to the requirements of law, at the written request of the Company,
shall return the same to the Company.
Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers.
A “CUSIP” number shall be printed on the Bonds, and the Trustee shall use the CUSIP
number in notices of redemption, purchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that
any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the
CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Bonds and that reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed on the Bonds. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee
in writing of any change in any CUSIP number relating to the Bonds.
Section 2.13. Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date,
the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to make cash payments
due on such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. To the extent that
such deposit is insufficient to make such cash payments, the Company shall provide the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee as to (x) if such insufficiency occurs or exists on
an Interest Payment Date between and including November 16, 2007 and November 16, 2010, the amount
of the Shortfall and ordering the Trustee to authenticate PIK Bonds in an aggregate principal
amount equal to such Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(c)(ii) and (y) otherwise,
the amount and recipient of payments pursuant
28
to Section 4.01 as to which the Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely thereupon
without further investigation.
Section 2.14. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Bonds.
(a) The Global Bonds initially shall (i) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of
DTC, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC and (iii) bear legends as set forth in
Exhibit B.
Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Bond held on their behalf by DTC, or the Trustee as its
custodian, or under any Global Bond, and DTC may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Bond for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee
or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy
or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Global
Bond.
(b) Transfers of the Global Bonds shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to
DTC, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global
Bonds may be transferred or exchanged in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC and the
provisions of Section 2.15; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the
Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Bonds may not be
made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (except to a QIB or an
Institutional Accredited Investor in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities
Act). In addition, Bonds in the form of certificated Bonds in registered form in substantially the
form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Physical Bonds”) shall be transferred to
all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Bonds if (i) DTC
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Bonds
and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice
or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request
from DTC to issue Physical Bonds.
(c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Bonds that is transferred to a person who
takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Bond shall, upon transfer, cease to be
an interest in such Global Bond and become a beneficial interest in such other Global Bond and,
accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures
applicable to a beneficial interest in such other Global Bonds for as long as it remains such an
interest.
(d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Bond to beneficial owners pursuant to
clause (b) of this Section 2.14, the Global Bonds shall be deemed to be surrendered
to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in
the Global Bonds, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Bonds of authorized
denominations.
(e) Any Physical Bond constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest
in a Global Bond pursuant to clause (b) or (c) shall, except as otherwise provided
by clause (c) of Section 2.15, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions
applicable to the Physical Bonds set forth in Exhibit A.
(f) The Holder of a Global Bond may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Bonds.

(excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):
(i) The Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a
proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Bond stating, or has
30
otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made
in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the
certification provided for on the form of Bond stating, or has otherwise advised the Company
and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Bond for its own account or an

Global Bond to which such beneficial interest is transferred.

transferred, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
one or more Physical Bonds of like tenor and principal amount.
(c) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Bonds not
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Bonds that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Bonds
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Bonds that bear the Private
Placement Legend unless there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related
restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Bond unless such transfer
complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Bond set forth in this Indenture. In connection
with any transfer of Bonds, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Bonds to furnish the
Registrar or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them
may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
31
exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the

determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications,
legal opinions or other information.

Holder of such a Bond acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Bond set forth in this
Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it shall transfer such Bond only as
provided in this Indenture.
The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.14 or this Section 2.15. The Company shall have the
right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at
any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable Law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Bond (including any transfers between or among Agent Members
or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Bond) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and
when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not
taken by DTC.
Section 2.16. Transfers of Global Bonds and Physical Bonds.
A transfer of a Global Bond or a Physical Bond (including the right to receive principal and
interest payable thereon) may be made only by the Registrar’s entering the transfer in the

Section 3.02. Selection of Bonds To Be Redeemed.
If fewer than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 of the
Indenture or Section 6 of the Bonds, the selection of the Bonds for redemption will be made
by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee may reasonably
determine is fair and appropriate (subject to the procedures of DTC); provided that no partial
redemption will reduce the principal amount of a Bond not redeemed to less than $100,000.
The Trustee shall make the selection from the Bonds outstanding and not previously called for
redemption and shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Bonds selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount at maturity
thereof, to be redeemed. If less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee
will select Bonds for redemption on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable
stock exchange requirements. Bonds in denominations of $100,000 in principal amount at maturity
may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $100,000
in principal amount at maturity or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Bonds that
have denominations larger than $100,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Bonds called
for redemption also apply to portions of Bonds called for redemption.
Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.
At least twenty (20) days but not more than sixty (60) days before a Redemption Date, the
Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption by first class mail, postage
prepaid, to each Holder whose Bonds are to be redeemed at its registered address, with a copy to
the Trustee and any Paying Agent. At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the
notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. Failure to give notice of
redemption, or any defect therein to any Holder of any Bond selected for redemption shall not
impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Bond.
Each notice of redemption shall identify the Bonds to be redeemed and shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to be paid;
(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(4) the CUSIP number;
(5) the section of the Bonds or the section of this Indenture pursuant to which such
redemption is being made;
(6) the place where such Bonds called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest;
(7) that, unless the Company fails to deposit with the Paying Agent funds in
satisfaction of the applicable redemption price, interest on Bonds called for redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date in accordance with Section 3.05,
and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Bonds is to receive payment of the
Redemption Price plus accrued interest upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Bonds
redeemed;
35
(8) if any Bond is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such
Bond to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Bond, a
new Bond or Bonds in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
shall be issued; and
(9) if fewer than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification of the
particular Bonds (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal
amount of Bonds to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Bonds to be outstanding
after such partial redemption.
If any of the Bonds to be redeemed is in the form of a Global Bond, then the Company shall
modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of DTC applicable to
redemption.
Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Bonds or portions
thereof called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date and
at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such
Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price plus accrued
interest thereon to the Redemption Date, but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on
or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on
the relevant Record Dates referred to in the Bonds.
Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.
Not later than 10:00 a.m. local time in the place of payment on the Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, plus accrued interest on, all Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date.
The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any U.S. Legal Tender so deposited which
is not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee
pursuant to Article Six.
If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of such Redemption Price together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Bonds to be
redeemed, interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on and after the applicable
Redemption Date, whether or not such Bonds are presented for payment..
Section 3.06. Bonds Redeemed in Part.
Upon surrender of a Bond that is to be redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Bond or Bonds equal
in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

Equity Interests of such new Subsidiary and (ii) any intercompany notes or debt securities
of such new Subsidiary, in either case, that are held by the Company or any other of its
Subsidiaries, subject to Permitted Liens, and (b) deliver to the Collateral Agent any

shall, at the Company’s expense, deliver, unless not required by the Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion (subject to the terms of Section 6.02(m) hereof), to the Collateral Agent with
respect to each parcel of real property owned or held by such Subsidiary title reports, surveys and
engineering, soils and other reports, and environmental assessment reports, indicating the presence

Person (other than the Collateral Agent), or permit any Person (other than the Collateral Agent) to
retain, any Lien on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries will enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of
Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness
of any Person, other than as permitted by this Indenture. The Company shall, and shall cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to, at their sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements
and instruments as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall reasonably request (subject to the
terms of Section 6.02(m) hereof) to more fully or accurately describe the property intended
to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Documents. The
Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, at their sole cost and expense, file
any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable under applicable Law to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents at such
times and at such places as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may reasonably request (subject to

acquired by the Company or such Subsidiary after the Issue Date, with (i) Acquisition Consideration
or (ii) as of the Issue Date, with a Fair Market Value, of greater than $1,000,000, on the Issue
Date in the case of clause (a) and within 90 days of the acquisition thereof in the case of
clause (b):
(1) the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee, fully executed
counterparts of a Mortgage, each dated as of the Issue Date or the date of acquisition of
such property, as the case may be, duly executed by the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary, together with evidence of the completion (or reasonably satisfactory
arrangements for the
49
completion), of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage as may be necessary to
create a valid, perfected Lien against the properties purported to be covered thereby;
(2) the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent mortgagee’s title insurance
policies in favor of the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders in an amount equal to 100% of the Fair Market
Value of the Premises purported to be covered by the related Mortgage, insuring that subject
to the exceptions approved by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion (in
accordance with Section 6.02(m) hereof) and noted in such title insurance policy,
title to such property is marketable and that the interest created by the Mortgage
constitutes a valid Lien thereon free and clear of all Liens, defects and encumbrances other
than Permitted Liens, and such policies shall also include, to the extent available, at
commercially reasonable rates such endorsements as the Collateral Agent (subject to the
terms of Section 6.02(m) hereof) shall reasonably request and shall be accompanied
by evidence of the payment in full of all premiums thereon; and
(3) the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, with respect to each of the
covered Premises, the most recent survey of such Premises, together with either (i) an
updated survey certification in favor of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from the
applicable surveyor stating that, based on a visual inspection of the property, there has
been no change in the facts depicted in the survey or (ii) an affidavit and/or indemnity
from the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors stating that to its knowledge there has been
no change in facts depicted in the survey, other than, in each case, changes that do not
materially adversely affect the use by the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable,
of such Premises for the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s business as so conducted, or
intended to be conducted, at such Premises and in each case, in form sufficient for the
title insurer issuing the title policy to remove the standard survey exception from such
policy and issue a survey endorsement to such policy.

(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
installments of interest, and overdue principal and premium, if any, which has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(iv) the Company has deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay the reasonable
compensation of the Trustee and to reimburse the reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agent and its counsel; and
(v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in
Section 5.01(8) or (9), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
(d) No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.
Section 5.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Bonds or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Bonds, this Indenture or any of the other Financing Documents.
Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Bonds or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by
the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an
Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 5.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Sections 2.09, 5.02, 5.07 and 8.02, the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Bonds may waive any existing Default or Event of Default and
its consequences, except (other than as provided in Section 5.02(c)) a default in the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, interest on, any Bonds. When a Default or Event
of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist.
56
Section 5.05. Control by Majority.
Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Bonds may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising
any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including,
without limitation, any remedies provided for in Section 5.03. Subject to Sections
6.01 and 6.02, however, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may
refuse to follow any direction (which direction, if sent to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, shall be in writing) that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
reasonably believes conflicts with any applicable Law or with any Financing Document, that the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of another Holder, or that may subject the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, to personal liability; provided that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
which is not inconsistent with such direction (which direction, if sent to the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be in writing).
Section 5.06. Limitation on Suits.
A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Bonds unless:
(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(2) subject to Section 2.09, Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the
outstanding Bonds make a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect
of that Event of Default;
(3) such Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt
of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) during such sixty (60) day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Bonds do not give the Trustee a written direction which, in the opinion of
the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over such other Holder.
Section 5.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, a Bond, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Bond, 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 5.08. Collection Suit by Trustee or Collateral Agent.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(1) or (2) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may recover judgment (i) in its own name and
(ii)(x) in the case of the Trustee, as
57
trustee of an express trust or (y) in the case of the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent on
behalf of each of the Secured Parties, in each case against the Company or any other obligor on the
Bonds for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, the Bonds,
together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is
lawful, interest on overdue amounts at the rate set forth in Section 4.01 and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent
and their respective agents and counsel and any other amounts due any such Person under the
Financing Documents and Section 6.07.
Section 5.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee and the Collateral Agent are authorized to 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 or
Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their respective agents and counsel) and the Holders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Bonds,
any of their respective creditors or any of their respective property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee or Collateral Agent and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee or Collateral Agent any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their respective agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due any such Person under the Financing Documents and Section
6.07. The Company’s payment obligations under this Section 5.09 shall be secured in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee or Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent,
as the case may be, to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 5.10. Priorities.
If the Trustee or the Collateral Agent collects any amounts pursuant to this Article
Five, such amounts shall be applied in the following order:
First: to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar for
amounts due under Section 6.07 (including payment of all compensation expense, all
liabilities incurred and all advances made by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, and the costs and expenses of collection, including fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel to such Persons (including fees and time charges for attorneys who
may be employees of any such Person);
Second: if the Secured Parties are forced to proceed against the Company directly
without the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, to the Secured Parties for their collection
costs (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties
(including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Secured Party)),
ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second
payable to them;
Third: to the Holders of the Bonds for amounts due and unpaid on the Bonds for
premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, ratably
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;
58
Fourth: to the Holders of the Bonds for amounts due and unpaid on the Bonds for
principal, without preference or priority of any kind, ratably in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;
Fifth: the payment of any other Obligations owing to the respective Secured Parties and
any interest accrued thereon; and
Last: to the Company or any other obligor on the Bonds, as their interests may appear,
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.10.
Section 5.11. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance of its Bond shall be
deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, 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, 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 5.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, a suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 5.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the outstanding Bonds.
Section 5.12. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any proceedings to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, or to such
Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company,
the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.
ARTICLE SIX
TRUSTEE
Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee.
The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the TIA and as set
forth herein.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise thereof as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs.
59
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(1) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
this Indenture and the TIA and the Trustee need perform only those duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in
or read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2) 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
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; provided, however, in case of any such certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee which by the provisions hereof are furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Trustee may not be relieved
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:
(1) this clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this
Section 6.01;
(2) 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
(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section
5.05.
(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any liability (financial or otherwise). The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Financing Documents at the request,
order or direction of any Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs and expenses which may be
incurred by it (including repayment of its own funds) in compliance with such request, order or
direction.
(e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in
any way relates to the Trustee is subject to clauses (a), (b), (c) and
(d) of this Section 6.01.
(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or assets received by it except
as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money and assets held in trust by the
Trustee need not be segregated from other funds or assets held by the Trustee except to the extent
required by law.
Section 6.02. Rights of Trustee and Collateral Agent.
Subject to Section 6.01:
(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or 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.
60
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with counsel and
may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform
to Sections 10.04 and 10.05. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel. The written advice of the Trustee’s counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible
for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action that it takes or omits to take in
good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers
under this Indenture.
(e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or
other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry
or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon
reasonable notice to the Company, to examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney and to consult with the officers and representatives of
the Company, including the Company’s accountants and attorneys. Except as expressly stated
herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee have any responsibility to ascertain
whether there has been compliance with any of the covenants or provisions hereof.
(f) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the
performance or exercise of its powers or duties hereunder.
(g) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request,
direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the
Company and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficient if evidenced by a
copy of such resolution certified by an Officer of the Company to have been duly adopted and
in full force and effect on the date hereof.
(h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default unless the Trustee shall have received from the Company, any
Subsidiary Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Bonds or from any Holder written notice
thereof at its address set forth in Section 10.02 hereof, and such notice references
the Bonds and this Indenture. In the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may
conclusively assume that no such Default of Event of Default exists.
(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including, without
limitation, in its capacity as Collateral Agent and Calculation Agent), including the
Trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees and each agent, custodian and other
Person employed to act hereunder. Such rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
benefits, including, without limitation, the right to indemnification, together with the
Trustee’s right to compensation and reimbursement expenses, shall survive the Trustee’s
resignation or removal and final payment of the Bonds.
61
(j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take
specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by
any persons authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.
(k) The permissive right of the Trustee to take any action under the Financing
Documents shall not be construed as a duty to so act.
(l) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and
indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, the Trustee, in its sole
discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Financing
Document (other than Section 6.01 hereof), as to the exercise by the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies under any Financing Document (including the
exercise of any discretion of such Person and the making of requests as permitted under any
Financing Document), the giving of any consent by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under
any Financing Document (including the determination of the reasonable satisfaction of such
Person), the entry by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent into any agreement amending,
modifying, supplementing or waiving any provision of this Indenture or any other Financing
Document (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof), neither the
Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any such action unless it shall
have been directed to do so by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Bonds (or such other percentage expressly specified for such action in the
applicable Financing Document).
(n) The Trustee shall not be obligated to take any remedial action with respect to an
Event of Default of the type described in clause (5) or (10) of Section 5.01, unless it has
first been notified of such event or occurrence by the Company or the Holders of at least
50% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds.
Section 6.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds
and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or its respective Affiliates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or serving in any other such capacity.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may also engage in or be interested in any
financial or other transaction with the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or its respective
Affiliates and may act as depository, trustee or agent for any committee of Holders of Bonds
secured hereby or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not Trustee or serving
in any other such capacity. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must
comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11 of this Indenture.
Section 6.04. Disclaimer for Trustee and Collateral Agent.
Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent makes any representation as to the validity,
adequacy or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Bonds or any other Financing Document, and neither
the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds
from the Bonds, and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for any
statement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in this Indenture, the Bonds, any Financing
Document or any other document in
62
connection with the issuance of the Bonds, other than the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, which shall be taken as the statement of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor
the Collateral Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. Nothing herein, including
in the recitals hereof, shall impose on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent any obligations of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreements, documents or instruments that are part of
the Collateral, all of which shall be retained by the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable.
Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and the fulfillment of its
obligations under this Indenture, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon
or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Each
of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment comparable to
that which it accords its own property.
Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent makes any representations as to, nor shall the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent be responsible for, the existence, genuineness, value, sufficiency
or condition of any of the Collateral or as to the security afforded or intended to be afforded
thereby, hereby or by any Collateral Document, or for the validity, perfection, priority or
enforceability of the Liens or security interests in any of the Collateral created or intended to
be created by any of the Collateral Documents, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of
any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission
constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral, any Collateral Documents or any agreement
or assignment contained in any thereof, for the validity of the title of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes,
charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the
Collateral.
Section 6.05. Notice of Default.
If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual
knowledge or has received written notice from the Company or any Holder, the Trustee shall mail to
each Holder and the Collateral Agent, with a copy to the Company, notice of the Default or Event of
Default within thirty (30) days thereof. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Bond, including an accelerated
payment, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Board of Directors, the
executive committee of its Board of Directors or a committee of its directors and/or Trust Officers
in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.
Section 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.
Within sixty (60) days after each May 15, beginning with May 15, 2008, the Trustee shall, to
the extent that any of the events described in TIA Section 313(a) occurred within the previous
twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that
complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and (c).
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and
filed by the Company with the SEC and each stock exchange or market, if any, on which the Bonds are
listed or quoted.
63
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Bonds become listed or quoted
on any stock exchange or market and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d) and any
delisting thereof.
Upon request, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to any Holder or a holder of a beneficial
interest in the Bonds any information delivered to the Trustee under this Indenture.
Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity.
The Company shall pay to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar
(each an “Indemnified Party”) from time to time compensation for their respective services
as Trustee, Collateral Agent, Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, as agreed in writing.
The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Party upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in connection with the
performance of its duties under, as the case may be, the Financing Documents. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable fees and expenses of each of such Indemnified Party’s agents and counsel.
The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify each
Indemnified Party and its agents, employees, stockholders and directors and officers for, and holds
each of them harmless against, any loss, cost, claim, liability or expense (including taxes)
incurred by any of them except for such actions to the extent caused by any gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, arising out of or in connection with the
Financing Documents or the administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture or the other Financing Documents against the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 6.07) and defending themselves against any
claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their rights, powers or
duties hereunder or thereunder (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel). An
Indemnified Party shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against such Indemnified
Party for which such Indemnified Party has advised the Trustee that it may seek indemnity hereunder
or under the other Financing Documents. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. At the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion, the
Company shall defend the claim and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate and may participate in the
defense; provided that any settlement of a claim shall be approved in writing by the Indemnified
Party. Alternatively, the Indemnified Party may at its option have separate counsel of its own
choosing and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Indemnified
Party’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between or alternative defenses between the
Company and the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the
Indemnified Party. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
To secure the Company’s and each Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment obligations in this
Section 6.07, each Indemnified Party shall have a lien prior to the Bonds on all monies,
property or Collateral held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets
or money held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Bonds which have been called
for redemption.
When an Indemnified Party incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(8) or (9) occurs, such expenses (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
64
The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, termination of the Collateral Documents or the other Financing
Documents or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Collateral Agent, Paying Agent or the
Registrar.
The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 312(b)(2) to the extent
applicable.
“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 6.07 shall include any predecessor
Trustee; provided, however, that the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.
Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee.
The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds may remove the Trustee by so notifying the
Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company, by a Board
Resolution, may remove the Trustee if:
(1) | the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10; | ||
(2) | the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; | ||
(3) | a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or | ||
(4) | the Trustee becomes incapable of acting with respect to the Bonds. |
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall notify each Holder in writing of such event and shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds may appoint a successor Trustee to
replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee and
shall such retiring Trustee duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such Trustee so ceasing to act hereunder subject nevertheless to its
lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.07. Upon written request of the Company or the
successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall at the expense of the Company and upon payment of
the charges of the Trustee then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, at the Company’s expense, the Company or the Holders
of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Bonds may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Holder who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal
of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
65
The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in writing. Each notice shall include the name
of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office and its notice address for
purposes of Section 10.02.
Notwithstanding any resignation or replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee.
Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.
If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee
Person without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee Person is
otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such Person shall
be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Six.
In case any Bonds have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office,
any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Bonds.
Section 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.
(a) This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections
310(a)(1), (2), (3) and (5). The Trustee (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank
holding company system, the related bank holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. In
addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee,
independently of such bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA Section
310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall
be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which
other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company
are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.
The provisions of TIA Section 310 shall apply to the Company, as obligor of the Bonds.
(b) If the Trustee has or acquires a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the

by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture.

Trustee in its role as Paying Agent, as Registrar and as Collateral Agent.
66
Section 6.13. Co-Trustees, Co-Collateral Agent and Separate Trustees and Collateral
Agent.
(a) At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Company, the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent shall have the power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the
Trustee, the Collateral Agent or of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds
outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose, join with the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the Collateral, to act as co-collateral
agent, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate trustees or Collateral Agent of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment,
and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or
power, deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.13.
If the Company does not join such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
(b) Should any written instrument from the Company be required by any co-trustee,
co-collateral agent or separate trustee or separate collateral agent so appointed for more fully
confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all
such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company.
(c) Every co-trustee, co-collateral agent or separate trustee or separate collateral agent
shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the
following terms, namely:
(i) The Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and
obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal
property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall
be exercised solely, by the Trustee.
(ii) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the
Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by
the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee, or by the Collateral Agent and such
co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent, jointly as shall be provided in the
instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee or co-collateral agent or separate
collateral agent, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be
exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee, collateral agent or
co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent.
(iii) The Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
concurrence of the Company evidenced by a Board Resolution, may accept the resignation of or
remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 6.13, and, in
case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have power to
accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee, co-collateral agent, separate
trustee or separate collateral agent without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the
written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution,
delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate
such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee, co-collateral agent, separate
trustee or separate collateral agent so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner

separate collateral agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other such trustee or collateral agent hereunder.
(v) Any act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered
to each such co-trustee or separate trustee and any act of Holders delivered to the
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-collateral agent or
separate collateral agent.
Section 6.14. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other Persons as to other matters and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such
matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to
legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion, or representation by, counsel, unless such Officer
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel or representation by counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual
matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
ARTICLE SEVEN
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 7.01. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.
(a) The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either clause (b) or
clause (c) below be applied to the outstanding Bonds upon compliance with the applicable
conditions set forth in clause (d).
(b) Upon the Company’s exercise under clause (a) of the option applicable to this
clause (b), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been released
and discharged from their obligations with respect to the outstanding Bonds, the Subsidiary
Guarantees and the Collateral Documents on the date the applicable conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means
that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by
the outstanding Bonds, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes
of the Sections and matters under this Indenture referred to in clause (i) and
(ii) below, and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied
all their other obligations under such Bonds and this Indenture, the Subsidiary
68
Guarantees and the Collateral Documents, except for the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Bonds to
receive solely from the trust fund described in clause (d) below and as more fully set
forth in such clause, payments in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, interest on,
such Bonds when such payments are due, (ii) obligations listed in Section 7.03, subject to
compliance with this Section 7.01 and (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith. The Company may exercise its option under this clause (b) notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under clause (c) below with respect to the Bonds.
(c) Upon the Company’s exercise under clause (a) of the option applicable to this
clause (c), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be released and discharged from their
obligations under any covenant contained in Section 4.03 (other than clause (i) and (j)
thereof), Section 4.07 (other than clause (c) thereof), Sections 4.08 through
4.34 and Section 4.37, with respect to the outstanding Bonds on and after the date
the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the
Bonds shall thereafter be deemed to be not “outstanding” for the purpose of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with
such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it
being understood that such Bonds shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For
this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Bonds, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Bonds shall be unaffected thereby. In addition,
upon the Company’s exercise under clause (a) hereof of the option applicable to this
clause (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (d)
below, Sections 5.01(3), through (7), and Sections 5.01(10) through
(14) shall not constitute Events of Default.
(d) The following shall be the conditions to application of either clause (b) or
clause (c) above to the outstanding Bonds:
(1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, pursuant to
an irrevocable trust and security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee, U.S. Legal Tender or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination
thereof, in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and
premium, if any, interest on, the outstanding Bonds on the stated dates for payment or
redemption, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) shall have received an irrevocable written order from the Company instructing the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to apply such U.S. Legal Tender or the proceeds of
such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Bonds to maturity or
redemption;
(2) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit pursuant to clause (1) of this clause (d) (except such Default or Event
of Default resulting from the failure to comply with Section 4.08 as a result of the
borrowing of funds required to effect such deposit) or insofar as Defaults or Events of
Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending
on the 91st day after the date of such deposit;
(3) Such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach of, or
constitute a default here under or any other material agreement or instrument to which the
69
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound;
(4) (i) In the event the Company elects clause (b) above, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that (A) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B)
since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that,
Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
of such Legal Defeasance contemplated hereby and shall be subject to federal income tax in
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred or (ii) in the event the Company elects clause
(c) above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that
Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
of such Covenant Defeasance contemplated hereby and shall be subject to federal income tax
in the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(5) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit under clause (1) of this clause (d) was not made by the
Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or
with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the
Company or others;
(6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to
the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with;
(7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that after the 91st day following the date of deposit, the trust funds will not
be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; and
(8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to
customary qualifications and exclusions) to the effect that the trust resulting from the
deposit under clause (1) of this clause (d) does not constitute, or is
qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 7.01(d)(4)(i)
above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Bonds not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) shall become due
and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.
In the event all or any portion of the Bonds are to be redeemed through such irrevocable
trust, the Company must make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of
such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Company.
70
Section 7.02. Satisfaction and Discharge.
In addition to the Company’s rights under Section 7.01, the Company may terminate all
of its obligations under this Indenture (subject to Section 7.03), and this Indenture, the
Bonds, the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Collateral Documents, and all Liens created thereunder,
shall be discharged and shall cease to be in effect when:
(1) | either: |
(a) all the Bonds theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen
or destroyed Bonds which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section
2.07 and Bonds for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust
or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company
or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;
or
(b) all Bonds not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i)
have become due and payable, (ii) shall become due and payable at their stated
maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year
under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Company has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Bonds not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on, the Bonds to the date of deposit together with irrevocable written
instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the
payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
(2) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture, the Collateral
Documents and the other Financing Documents; and
(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.
Section 7.03. Survival of Certain Obligations.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Bonds referred to
in Section 7.01 or 7.02, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee
under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07 and
2.08, Sections 6.07 and 6.08 and Sections 7.05, 7.06 and
7.07 shall survive until the Bonds are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the
obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 6.07, 7.04, 7.05
and 7.06 and 7.07 shall survive.
Section 7.04. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee.
Subject to Section 7.07, after (i) the conditions of Section 7.01 or
7.02 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in
clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been
complied with, the Trustee, upon written request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in
Section 7.03 and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Company any
71
document reasonably requested by the Company to effect or evidence any release and discharge
of Lien or Collateral Document.
Section 7.05. Application of Trust Moneys.
The Trustee shall hold any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it
in the irrevocable trust established pursuant to Section 7.01. The Trustee shall apply the
deposited U.S. Legal Tender or the U.S. Government obligations, together with earnings thereon,
through the Paying Agent, in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of the irrevocable trust
agreement established pursuant to Section 7.01, to the payment of principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on, the Bonds. Anything in this Article Seven to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
Company’s request any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 7.01(d) which, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of
the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 7.01
or 7.02 or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other
than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of
outstanding Bonds.
Section 7.06. Repayment to the Company; Unclaimed Money.
Subject to Sections 6.07, 7.01 and 7.02, the Trustee and the Paying
Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request from the Company any excess U.S. Legal
Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall pay to the Company, upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, of a
written request from the Company any money held by it for the payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after payment to the Holders is required,
without interest thereon; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Paying Agent before being
required to make any payment may, but need not, at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled
to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein,
which shall be at least thirty (30) days from the date of such publication or mailing, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company, without interest
thereon. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look solely to the Company
for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designated another
Person, and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon
cease.
Section 7.07. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 7.01 or 7.02 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Subsidiary
Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and each other Financing Document to which such person
is a party shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 7.01 or 7.02 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section
7.01 or 7.02; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of premium,
if any, or interest on or principal of any Bonds because of the reinstatement of its obligations,
the Company shall
72
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Bonds to receive such payment from the
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
Section 7.08.
Recording and Opinions.
(a) The Company will deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee on November 16 in each
year beginning with November 16, 2008, an Opinion of Counsel, which may be rendered by internal
counsel to the Company, dated as of such date, either:
(1) stating substantially to the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, action
has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording, and re-filing of this
Indenture or any Collateral Document as is necessary to maintain the Lien of this Indenture
or any Collateral Document and reciting with respect to the security interests in the
Collateral the details of such action or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which
such details are given; or
(2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to
maintain and perfect such Lien under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.
(b) The Company will otherwise comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(b).
Section 7.09. Release of Collateral.
(a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.09, Collateral may be
released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time or
from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and as provided
hereby.
(b) Upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate, upon which the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, certifying that all conditions precedent
hereunder have been met and without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors will be entitled to releases of assets included in the Collateral from the Liens
securing the Bonds under any one or more of the following circumstances:
(1) to enable the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to consummate any Asset
Disposition permitted or not prohibited by Section 4.21;
(2) if any Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee, such
Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets constituting Collateral will also be released; or
(3) pursuant to an amendment, waiver or supplement in accordance with Article
VIII hereof.
Upon receipt of such Officers’ Certificate and any necessary or proper instruments of
termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company, the Collateral Agent shall execute,
deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral
permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.
(c) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
maturity of the Bonds has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee
has delivered a notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant
to the provisions of the Collateral Documents will be effective as against the Holders.
73
(d) The release of any Collateral from the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral
Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the
provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents. To the extent applicable, the Company will cause TIA §
313(b), relating to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities
from the Lien and security interest of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and relating to
the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security
interest of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, to be complied with. Any certificate or
opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company except in cases where TIA
§ 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person
will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent in the exercise of reasonable care.
ARTICLE EIGHT
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS
Section 8.01. Without Consent of Holders.
From time to time, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and, if such amendment,
modification or supplement relates to any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent, without the
consent of the Holders, may amend, modify, waive or supplement provisions of this Indenture, the
Bonds, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and any other Financing Document:
(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency contained therein;
(2) to provide for uncertificated Bonds in addition to or in place of certificated
Bonds;
(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations to Holders by the successor to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the
case may be;
(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any such Holder under this
Indenture, the Bonds, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or any other
Financing Document;
(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect the qualification of this
Indenture under the TIA;
(6) to allow any Subsidiary or any other Person to guarantee the Bonds;
(7) to release a Subsidiary Guarantor as permitted by this Indenture and the relevant
Subsidiary Guarantee;
(8) if necessary, in connection with any addition or release of Collateral permitted
under the terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents;
(9) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the form,
authentication, transfer or legending of the Bonds; provided, however, that (a) compliance
with
74
this Indenture as so amended would not result in the Bonds being transferred in
violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (b) such
amendment does not materially affect the rights of the Holders to transfer the Bonds, or
(10) provide for the issuance of any PIK Bonds in accordance with Section
2.02(c)(ii).
so long as such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement does not, in the opinion of the
Trustee and, if such amendment, modification or supplement relates to any Collateral Document, the
Collateral Agent, adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect. In
formulating its opinion on such matters, each of the Trustee and, if such amendment, modification
or supplement relates to any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent, will be entitled to rely on
such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an Opinion of
Counsel.
After an amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under this Section 8.01 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the
amendment, modification, waiver or supplement. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment, modification, waiver or supplement.
Section 8.02. With Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the
Trustee, or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, together, with the written consent of the Holder
or Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds, may amend
or supplement this Indenture, the Bonds, any Collateral Document, the Subsidiary Guarantees or any
other Financing Document without notice to any other Holders. The Holder or Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds may waive compliance by the Company with any
provision of this Indenture, the Bonds, any Collateral Document or any other Financing Document
without notice to any other Holder. However, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a
waiver pursuant to Section 5.04, shall without the consent of each Holder of each Bond
affected thereby:
(1) reduce the principal amount of Bonds whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Bonds;
(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of
interest, including default interest, on any Bonds;
(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity
of any Bonds, or change the date on which any Bonds may be subject to redemption or reduce
the redemption price therefor;
(4) make any Bonds payable in money other than that stated in the Bonds;
(5) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder
to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bond on or
after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders
of a majority in principal amount of Bonds to waive Defaults or Events of Default;
(6) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions
affecting the ranking of the Bonds or any Subsidiary Guarantee or any Lien created under any
Collateral Agreement in a manner which adversely affects the Holders;
75
(7) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(8) release all or substantially all of the Collateral otherwise than in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; or
(9) make any change to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 8.02 becomes effective,
the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 8.03. Compliance with TIA.
Every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Bonds, the Collateral Documents
or the Subsidiary Guarantees that would be subject to the terms of the TIA shall comply with the
TIA as then in effect.
Section 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Bond or portion of a Bond that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Bond, even if notation of the consent is not
made on any Bond. Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Bond or portion of such Bond by written notice to the
Trustee and the Company received before the date on which the Trustee and if such amendment, waiver
or supplement relates to any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent, receives an Officers’
Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Bonds have consented
(and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. An amendment,
waiver or supplement shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal
amount of the outstanding Bonds or such Officers’ Certificate, whichever first occurs, and the
execution thereof by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record
date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those
Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those
Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for
more than ninety (90) days after such record date.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless
it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of Section
8.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Bond
who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Bond or portion of a Bond that evidences
the same debt as the consenting
76
Holder’s Bond; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any
Holder to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, a Bond, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Bond, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.
Section 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Bonds.
If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Bond, the Trustee may require the
Holder of the Bond to deliver the Bond to the Trustee. The Trustee at the written direction of the
Company may place an appropriate notation on the Bond about the changed terms and return it to the
Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Bond thereafter authenticated.
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Bond
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Bond that reflects the changed terms. Failure
to make an appropriate notation, or issue a new Bond, shall not affect the validity and effect of
such amendment, supplement or waiver. Any such notation or exchange shall be made at the sole cost
and expense of the Company. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Bond shall not
effect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 8.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall execute any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Eight; provided that the Trustee
or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such
amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee or
the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Indenture, any Collateral Document or any
other Financing Document. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to receive (in addition to the documents required pursuant to Section 10.04), and
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each
stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this
Article Eight is authorized or permitted by this Indenture or the applicable Financing
Document. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also state that the amendment or supplement is a valid and
enforceable obligation of the Company. Such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and shall be paid for by the Company.
Section 8.07. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.
Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Eight that is subject
to the terms of the TIA shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect.
ARTICLE NINE
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE
Section 9.01. Subsidiary Guarantee.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and
severally, guarantees (such guarantee to be referred to herein as the “Subsidiary
Guarantee”), to each of the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and its respective
successors and assigns that (i) the principal of, premium, if any and interest on, the Bonds shall
be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether upon redemption
pursuant to the terms of the Bonds, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal, if any, of, and interest on any interest, to the extent
77
lawful, on, the Bonds and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent hereunder, thereunder or under any Collateral Document or any other Financing
Document shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof or
thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Bonds or of
any such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of
clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 9.03.
The Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall rank senior in right of payment to all
subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor and equal in right of payment with all other
senior obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Bonds, this Indenture, any Collateral Document or any other Financing
Document, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any of the
Holders with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary
Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any
right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance
of the obligations contained in the Bonds, this Indenture and in this Subsidiary Guarantee. The
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving
effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by
or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations
under this Indenture, shall result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the
Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal
or state law. The net worth of any Subsidiary Guarantor for such purpose shall include any claim
of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Company for reimbursement and any claim against any other
Subsidiary Guarantor for contribution. If any Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any
custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees
that, as between each Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Collateral Agent
and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article Five for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Five, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this Subsidiary
Guarantee.
Section 9.02. Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.
A Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its Subsidiary
Guarantee (and may subsequently dissolve) without any action required on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder:
(1) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance
option as described in Section 7.01, or
78
(2) upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Section
7.02 or payment in full in cash of the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest on, the Bonds and all other Obligations under this Indenture and each
other Financing Document that are then due and payable.
At the Company’s expense, the Trustee shall promptly deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’
Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 9.02. Any Subsidiary
Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of its Subsidiary Guarantee as
provided in this Article Nine.
Section 9.03. Limitation of Subsidiary Guarantor’s Liability.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each of the Holders hereby confirms
that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor
pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Holders and such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as
shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary
Guarantor and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, after giving effect to any collections
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to
Section 9.04, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary
Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 9.04. Contribution.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Subsidiary Guarantors agree, inter se, that each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or
distribution under a Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled to a pro rata contribution from each
other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder based on the net assets of each other Subsidiary Guarantor.
The preceding sentence shall in no way affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds to the benefits of
this Indenture, the Bonds or the Subsidiary Guarantees.
Section 9.05. Waiver of Subrogation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of
all obligations guaranteed hereby.
Section 9.06. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants to the extent permitted by law that it shall not at any
time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive such Subsidiary
Guarantor from performing its Subsidiary Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or
at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Subsidiary Guarantee; and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives to the extent permitted
by law all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(REVERSE OF BOND)
Senior Secured Floating Rate Bonds due 2012
1. | Interest. |
Molecular Insight Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”, which term includes any
successor) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Bond at the Interest Rate
determined in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest on the Bond will accrue from the most
recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, with respect to an
Original Bond, from and including the Issue Date and, with respect to a XXX Xxxx, from and
including the date of issuance of such XXX Xxxx. The Company will pay interest quarterly in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing February 1, 2008; provided,
however that if a Shortfall exists on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest
Payment Date that is also a Redemption Date) between and including November 16, 2007 and November
16, 2010, such Shortfall shall be payable through the issuance of PIK Bonds in a principal amount
equal to such Shortfall pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) of the Indenture. Interest will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days for which interest is payable in the relevant
Interest Period divided by 360.
This Bond will bear interest for each Interest Period at a per annum rate (“Interest
Rate”) determined by the Calculation Agent, subject to the maximum interest rate permitted by
New York or other applicable state law, as such law may be modified by United States law of general
application. The Interest Rate for each Interest Period will be equal to LIBOR on the Interest
Determination Date for such Interest Period plus 8.00%; provided, however, that in
certain circumstances described below, the Interest Rate will be determined without reference to
LIBOR. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Trustee for the
Bonds, if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent, of the Interest Rate for the
new Interest Period. The Interest Rate determined by the Calculation Agent, absent manifest error,
shall be binding and conclusive upon the beneficial owners and registered Holders of this Bond, the
Company and the Trustee for the Bonds.
“Business Day” means, with respect to this Bond, any day other than a Saturday, Sunday
or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close under the Laws of, or are in fact
closed in, the State of New York or the state where the Corporate Trust Office is located.
“Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as
calculation agent under the Calculation Agency Agreement, and its successors.
“Interest Determination Date” means the second London Business Day immediately
preceding the first day of the relevant Interest Period.
“Interest Period” means the period commencing on an Interest Payment Date (or
commencing on the Issue Date, if no interest has been paid or duly made available for payment since
that date) and ending on the day before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.
A-5
“LIBOR” means, with respect to any Interest Period, the rate (expressed as a
percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first
day of that Interest Period and ending on the next Interest Payment Date that appears on Reuters
LIBOR0l Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest Determination Date for that Interest
Period. If such rate does not appear on the Reuters LIBOR0l Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
the Interest Determination Period, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in U.S. dollars for the Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000 are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the
London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time on the Interest Determination Date for that Interest Period.
The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each such bank to provide a
quotation of its rate and, if at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that
Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
provided, LIBOR with respect to that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates
quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation
with the Company), at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of that
Interest Period for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for that Interest Period and in
a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the
Calculation Agent to provide quotations are quoting as described above, LIBOR for that Interest
Period will be the same as LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period. The establishment
of LIBOR by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding.
“London Business Day” means a Business Day and a day on which dealings in deposits in
U. S. dollars are transferred, or with respect to any future date are expected to be transferred,
in the London interbank market.
“Reuters LIBOR01 Page” means the display so designated as the Reuters 3000 Xtra (or
such other page as may replace that page or that service, or such other service as may be nominated
by the Calculation Agent as the information vendor, for the purpose of displaying rates as prices
comparable to the London Interbank Offered rate for U.S. dollar deposits).
Upon request, the Calculation Agent will provide the current Interest Rate and, if determined, the
Interest Rate which will become effective for the next Interest Period.
All percentages resulting from any calculation of the Interest Rate will be rounded, if
necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of
a percentage point rounded upwards, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such
calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).
2. | Method of Payment. |
The Company shall pay interest on the Bonds (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are
the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date even if the Bonds are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration
of exchange after such Record Date, and on or before such Interest Payment Date. Payments of
interest in the form of PIK Bonds in respect of this Bond issued in the form of a Global Bond shall
be effected by the Trustee’s notation of an increase in the principal amount of
A-6
this Bond as set forth above and through the book-entry procedures of DTC. Payments of
interest in the form of PIK Bonds in respect of this Bond issued in the form of a definitive Bond
shall be made through the issuance of definitive PIK Bonds by the Trustee to the Holder on the
applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to this
Bond. Holders must surrender Bonds to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company
shall pay principal and interest in such coin or currency of the United States (except for the
issuance of PIK Bonds as payment of interest) that at the time of payment is immediately available
legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). The Company
shall deliver any such interest and principal payment to the Paying Agent.
3. | Paying Agent and Registrar. |
Initially, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without
notice to the Holders. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall act as Paying
Agent or Registrar. If the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), it must eliminate such
conflict or resign.
4. | Indenture. |
The Bonds were issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 16, 2007 (the
“Indenture”), between the Company, the Trustee and Collateral Agent. The terms of the
Bonds include those stated in the Indenture and those stated herein. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Bonds are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Bonds are referred to
the Indenture for a statement of such terms. The Bonds are senior secured obligations of the
Company. Each Holder, by accepting a Bond, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions
of the Indenture. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise
defined herein.
5. | Subsidiary Guarantees. |
Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds, is unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
6. | Optional Redemption. |
(a) Optional Make Whole Redemption. Pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of the
Indenture, at any time prior to November 16, 2008, the Company may redeem the Bonds, at its option,
in whole or in part, upon not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price
equal to the greater of:
(1) 106% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed and
(2) the present values of 106.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such
Bonds and scheduled payments of interest on such Bonds to and including November 16,
2008 (assuming for purposes of calculating interest due on such Bonds that LIBOR is
equal to the average of the rate per annum quoted by the
A-7
British Bankers’ Association for dollar deposits in the London Interbank market
for the four immediately preceding consecutive three-month periods), discounted to
the date of redemption on an annual basis at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points,
together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, to such Make-Whole
Redemption Date.
(b) Optional Redemption. Pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of the Indenture, at any
time on or after November 16, 2008, the Company may redeem the Bonds, at its option, in whole or in
part, upon not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on November 1, of the year set forth below:
Year | Percentage | ||||||
2008 | 106.00 | % | |||||
2009 | 104.00 | % | |||||
2010 | 102.00 | % | |||||
2011 | and thereafter | 100.00 | % |
(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at
least 20 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Bonds to be
redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. If fewer than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed,
at any time, selection of Bonds for redemption will be made by the Trustee, on a pro rata basis, by
lot or by such method as the Trustee may reasonably determine is fair and appropriate (subject to
the procedures of DTC or any other depository); provided that no partial redemption will
reduce the principal amount of a Bond not redeemed to a denomination of less than $100,000. Bonds
in denominations of $100,000 or more may be redeemed in part in multiples of $100,000 only.
Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Bonds called for
redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such redemption date
sufficient to pay such redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, the Bonds called for
redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such redemption date, and the only remaining
right of the Holders of such Bonds will be to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued
and unpaid interest, as of the redemption date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Bonds
redeemed.
7. | Mandatory Redemption. |
The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption on the terms and conditions set forth in
Section 3.01(a) of the Indenture.
The Redemption Price of any Bond redeemed in accordance with Section 3.01(a) of the
Indenture will be at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal
amount thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the twelve-month period
commencing on November 1, of the year set forth below:
A-8
Year | Percentage | ||||||||
2008 | 106.00 | % | |||||||
2009 | 104.00 | % | |||||||

2011 | and thereafter | 100.00 | % |

3.01(a)(v) and (a)(vi) of the Indenture will be at 100% of the principal price thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest at the time of redemption.
8. | Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. |
The Bonds are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $100,000 and any
integral multiples thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Bonds in
accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes, fees or similar governmental
charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not
register the transfer of or exchange of any Bonds or portions thereof selected for redemption.
9. | Persons Deemed Owners. |
The registered Holder of a Bond shall be treated as the owner of it and the Bonds of which it
is composed for all purposes.
10. | Unclaimed Money. |

and the Paying Agent may pay the money without interest thereon back to the Company upon written
request by the Company. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.
11. | Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. |
If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government
Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds to redemption or the
Maturity Date and complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating thereto, the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Bonds, except for the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest, on the Bonds when such payments are due from the deposits referred
to above.
12. | Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. |
The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and, if such amendment, modification or
supplement relates to any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent, without the
A-9
consent of the Holders, may amend, modify or supplement the Indenture, the Bonds, the
Subsidiary Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and any other Financing Document:
(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency contained therein;
(2) to provide for uncertificated Bonds in addition to or in place of certificated
Bonds;

obligations to Holders by the successor to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor,
as the case may be;

Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any such Holder under

authentication, transfer or legending of the Bonds, provided,
however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not
result in the Bonds beings transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any
other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially affect
the rights of the Holders to transfer the Bonds; or
(10) provide for the issuance of any PIK Bonds in accordance with Section
2.02(c)(ii) of the Indenture,
so long as such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement does not, in the opinion of
the Trustee and, if such amendment, modification or supplement relates to any Collateral
Document, the Collateral Agent, adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any
material respect. In formulating its opinion on such matters, each of the Trustee and, if
such amendment, modification or supplement relates to any Collateral Document, the
Collateral Agent, will be entitled to rely on such evidence as it deems appropriate,
including, without limitation, solely on an Opinion of Counsel. Other amendments of,
modifications to and supplements to the Indenture, the Bonds, the Subsidiary Guarantee, the
Collateral Documents and any other Financing Document may
A-10
be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Bonds issued under the Indenture, except that, without the consent of each
Holder affected thereby, no amendment may:
(1) reduce the principal amount of Bonds whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver of any provision of the Indenture or the Bonds;
(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment
of interest, including default interest, on any Bonds;

such Bond on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment,
or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Bonds to waive Defaults
or Events of Default;
(6) modify or change any provision of the Indenture or the related definitions
affecting the ranking of the Bonds or any Subsidiary Guarantee or any Lien created
under any Collateral Agreement in a manner which adversely affects the Holders;
(7) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture;
(8) release all or substantially all of the Collateral otherwise than in accordance

Indenture.

to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness or grant Liens, make payments in respect of
their Equity Interests or certain Indebtedness, enter into transactions with Affiliates, make
Capital Expenditures, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Subsidiaries, merge
or consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of

has not been waived, the Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, shall declare the principal of and premium, if any,
accrued interest, on all the Bonds to be due and payable in the manner, at the time and with the
effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Bonds may not enforce the Indenture except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Bonds
unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to
certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of Bonds notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.

any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds and may otherwise deal with the

Trustee.

of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have any liability for any obligation of the
Company under the Bonds, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Indenture or
for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder, by accepting a Bond waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are
part of the consideration for the issuance of the Bonds.
17. | Authentication. |
This Bond shall not be valid until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the
certificate of authentication on this Bond.
18. | Governing Law. |
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THIS BOND, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES, THE
