For purposes of determining Consolidated Cash Flow for any period that includes the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2007, December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, the Consolidated Cash Flow for each such quarterly period shall be deemed to be $25,890,000, $28,445,000 and $28,640,000, respectively, in each case (without duplication of any items enumerated in clause (1) or (2) above), prior to giving effect to any pro forma adjustments otherwise provided for in this Indenture.

“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means with respect to any Person for any period consisting of such Person’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, the ratio of the Consolidated Cash Flow of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period. In the event that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, Guarantees or redeems or repays any Debt (other than Debt incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes) or issues or redeems Preferred Stock, in each case subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the date on which the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee, redemption or repayment of Debt, or such issuance or redemption of Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Specified Transactions that have been made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date, and discontinued operations determined in accordance with GAAP on or prior to the Calculation Date, shall be given effect on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions or discontinued operations (and the reduction or increase of any

associated Fixed Charges, and the change in Consolidated Cash Flow, resulting therefrom, including as a result of any Pro Forma Cost Savings) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or amalgamated with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Specified Transaction or discontinued an operation, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction or discontinued operations had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction or discontinued operations, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. If any Debt to which pro forma effect is given bears interest at a floating rate, the interest expense on such Debt shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable interest rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement in effect on the Calculation Date). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period, total interest expense (including that portion attributable to Capital Lease Obligations) of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP with respect to all outstanding Debt of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including all commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and net payments, if any, made (less net payments, if any, received) pursuant to Interest Rate Agreements, but excluding, however, (x) amortization of original issue discount resulting from issuance of Debt at less than par in connection with the Transactions, (y) amortization of deferred financing fees, debt issuance costs, discounted liabilities, commissions, fees and expenses, and (z) any fees payable to the agents under the Existing Credit Facility on or before the Issue Date.

“Consolidated Net Income” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the net income (loss) of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP excluding, without duplication:

(6) any net after tax effect of income (loss) from the early extinguishment or conversion of (i) Debt or (ii) Hedging Obligations;

Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security including the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be required. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.

SECTION 2.07 Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.07 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date, repurchase date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.08 Temporary Securities. Until Certificated Securities and Global Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Request, authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Request, authenticate Certificated Securities or Global Securities, as the case may be, and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder.

SECTION 2.09 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver canceled Securities to the Issuer, or if the Issuer so agrees, may destroy canceled Securities, in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures. The Issuer shall not issue new Securities to replace Securities that have been redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.10 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP” numbers.

(a) The Securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Securities, for registering the record ownership of the Securities by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Securities.

(b) (1) Each Global Security will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend.

(2) Each Global Security will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Security (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (i) as set forth in Section 2.11(b)(4) and (ii) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Securities may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section 2.11 and Section 2.12.

(3) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Security through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

(4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Security and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Security for one or more Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Security will be deemed canceled. If such Security does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Securities issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Security bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Securities issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend.

(d) A Holder may transfer a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Security or Securities of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.12. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 2.11 by noting the same in the Register maintained by the Trustee for such purpose; provided that

(x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such Register; and

(y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Security not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to a Repurchase Offer is to occur after a regular record date but on or before the corresponding interest payment date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Security on or after the regular record date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Security is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.

From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Issuer Request, authenticate additional Securities as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section 2.11.

No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Security, but the Issuer and the Trustee/Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)).

(e) (1) Global Security to Global Security. If a beneficial interest in a Global Security is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Security. Any beneficial interest in one Global Security that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security, or exchanged for an interest

in another Global Security, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in the other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest.

(2) Global Security to Certificated Security. If a beneficial interest in a Global Security is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Security, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable.

(3) Certificated Security to Global Security. If a Certificated Security is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Security, (y) record an interest or an increase in the principal amount of such Global Security equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Security, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Security, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(4) Certificated Security to Certificated Security. If a Certificated Security is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Security, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Security being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Security (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Security, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Security, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(a) The transfer or exchange of any Security (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.12 and Section 2.11 and, in the case of a Global Security (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any Security (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

(2) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Regulation S Certificate; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Security that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required.

(3) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate, (y) a duly completed Regulation S Certificate or (z) a duly completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate, and an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Security that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange

takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Security that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Security that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(4) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security. If the requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Security, no certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Security that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Security (or a beneficial interest therein)

(1) after such Security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Issuer has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Issuer may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (1) an Opinion of Counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate; or

(2) (x) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise or (y) which is validly tendered for exchange into an Exchange Security pursuant to an Exchange Offer.

Any Certificated Security delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend.

(d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Security (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Issuer will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee. 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 Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members in any Global Security) 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.

(a) Each Security originally sold in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Securities that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Security Legend.

(b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security (or a Person acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period). Promptly after receipt of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Security, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Security, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security shall not be entitled to receive payment of principal or interest on such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of such beneficial interest until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Security or transferred for an interest in another Global Security or a Certificated Security.

SECTION 2.14 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly send or cause to be sent to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the

Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this paragraph, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

SECTION 3.01 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur.

The Issuer shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.02 Selection. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Securities for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or, if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no Securities of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03 Notice. The Issuer shall give notices of redemption which shall be sent electronically or mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. If the GS Parties are not the Required Holders, notices of redemption may not be conditional. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

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

(e) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(g) the Section hereof pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed;

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

At the Issuer’s request (which may be revoked at any time in writing prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03.

SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent, unless such notice of redemption is stated to be conditional, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, including Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date. If sent in the manner herein, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption.

SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. By 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on the redemption date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. If the redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on such record date.

SECTION 3.06 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Request, authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 3.07(b) or (c), the Securities may not be redeemed prior to May 28, 2013. On that date and thereafter, the Securities shall be subject to redemption at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 28 of the years indicated below:

provided, however, that any such redemption shall be subject to Section 3.07(d).

(b) In addition, at any time and from time to time, prior to May 28, 2011, subject to Section 3.07(d), the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Securities issued on the Issue Date at a redemption price equal to a percentage of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed as of the redemption date equal to 111.5%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with the net cash proceeds of a public offering of common stock (or preferred stock, other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdco or a public offering of common stock (or preferred, other than disqualified preferred) stock of any direct or indirect parent of Holdco, the net cash proceeds of which are contributed as common (or preferred, other than disqualified preferred) equity capital to Holdco, or with the net cash proceeds of any common (or preferred, other than disqualified preferred) equity contribution to Holdco; provided that (1) at least 65% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and (2) such redemption shall occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of such public offering. Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07(b) may be given prior to such redemption, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of such public offering.

(c) At any time prior to May 28, 2013, subject to Section 3.07(d), the Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price will be equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, plus (ii) accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on relevant record dates to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), plus (iii) the Applicable Premium, if any.

(d) Any redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 (a), (b) or (c) shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of Securities of $5.0 million (or, if less, the entire principal amount of Securities then outstanding).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the GS Parties constitute both the Required Holders and the Required Holdco Holders, the Holders of the Securities that the Issuer has elected to redeem pursuant to this Section 3.07, may elect in lieu of having all or any portion of such Securities so redeemed, to require Holdco to voluntarily redeem all or any such portion of the principal amount of Holdco Securities held by such Holder at the applicable redemption price specified in the Holdco Indenture; provided, that if a Holder makes an election to require Holdco to redeem Securities pursuant to this clause (e), the provisions of Section 4.04 shall not apply with respect to any dividend made to the Issuer in order to effect such redemption.

SECTION 3.08 No Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund for the payment of principal on the Securities to the Securityholders.

(a) If the Issuer shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Securities (a “Repurchase Offer”) pursuant to Section 4.06 (an “Asset Sale Offer”) or pursuant to Section 4.08 (a “Change of Control Offer”), the Issuer shall follow the procedures specified in this Section 3.09:

(1) Within 30 days after (A) a Change of Control (unless (1) the Issuer is not required to make such offer pursuant to Section 4.08(b) or (2) all Securities have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(a) or (c)) or (B) the date on which the Issuer is required to make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 4.06, the Issuer shall commence a Repurchase Offer, which shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement (the “Offer Period”), by sending a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, by electronic transmission or by first class mail, which notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable the Holders to tender Securities pursuant to such Repurchase Offer. Such notice,

which shall govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall describe the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control or Asset Sale requiring an Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be, and shall state:

(i) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.06 or 4.08, as the case may be;

(ii) the principal amount of Securities required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.06, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, or that the Issuer is required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding principal amount of Securities, in the case of a Change of Control Offer (such amount, the “Offer Amount”), the purchase price and, that on the date specified in such notice (the “Purchase Date”), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, the Issuer shall repurchase an Offer Amount of Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.06 or 4.08, as applicable;

(iii) that any Security not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have all or any portion of such Security purchased;

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security, or such other customary documents of surrender and transfer as the Issuer may reasonably request, duly completed, or transfer the Security by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the Purchase Date;

(vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, in each case with a copy to the Trustee, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased;

(viii) that, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, if the aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis (based upon the outstanding principal amount thereof), with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Securities in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased;

(ix) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer); and

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

(2) On (or at the Issuer’s election, before) the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, (A) to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, the Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer and not theretofore withdrawn, or if Securities aggregating less than the Offer Amount have been tendered, or in the case of a Change of Control Offer, all Securities tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Securities or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09, (B) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the payment required in respect of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered and (C) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment or the payment due to each respective Holder in respect of the Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, with respect to the Securities tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Security, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Request, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Security to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Securities so surrendered, provided that each such new Security shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Any Security not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof.

On the Purchase Date, all Securities purchased by the Issuer shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Securities or portions thereof purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall be canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, but in no case more than five Business Days thereafter. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, it shall be sufficient for the Issuer to publish the results of the Repurchase Offer on its website on the world wide web.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Purchase Date interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities repurchased. If a Security is repurchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security called is not repurchased upon surrender because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest, including Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Purchase Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 4.01.

(b) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the Repurchase Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.09, the Issuer shall comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.09 by virtue thereof.

(c) Once notice of repurchase is sent in accordance with this Section 3.09, all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn (or, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, if the Issuer is not required to repurchase all of such Securities then the pro rata portion of such Securities that the Issuer may be required to purchase pursuant to Section 3.02 and/or 4.06, as applicable) become irrevocably due and payable on the Purchase Date at the purchase price specified herein. A notice of repurchase may not be conditional.

(d) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09 or Section 4.06 or 4.08, as applicable, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 3.06.

(a) The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, Additional

Interest, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in accordance with this Indenture available funds sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

(b) The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate and in the manner specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. The Issuer shall pay interest at a default rate under the circumstances specified in the Securities.

(c) Principal, premium, if any, and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities will be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest, including Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Securities at their respective addresses set forth in the Register of Holders related to the Securities; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and interest with respect to any Securities the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer no later than three Business Days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Issuer may accept in its discretion) will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof.

(a) The Issuer shall provide to the Holders and the Trustee (which may be by electronic means):

(1) as soon as available, but in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the Issue Date, a copy of the consolidated balance sheet of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year and reported on by independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing;

(2) as soon as available, but in any event not later than 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the Issue Date, copies of the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as at the end of each such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such quarterly period and the portion of the fiscal year through such date, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding quarter in, and year-to-date portion of, the previous year, certified by the chief financial officer, controller or treasurer of the Issuer as being fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end adjustments and, for so long as the GS Parties constitute all the Holders, the absence of footnotes;

(3) as soon as available, any periodic report on Form 8-K in the form required to be filed with the Commission whether or not the Issuer is then subject to such reporting and filing requirements, provided, that, no financial report for any acquired business will be required to be produced to the extent it is not otherwise reasonably available and no pro forma financials shall be required to be produced in such case.

To the extent any such information is not so provided within the time periods specified above and such information is subsequently provided, the Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

(b) The Issuer shall furnish to the Holders, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. At all times after a TIA Event, the Issuer also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a).

(c) In the event that any direct or indirect parent company, which is a Passive Holding Company of the Issuer becomes a Guarantor of the Securities, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.02 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

(d) Delivery of the reports and information to the Trustee under this Section 4.02 is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute notice of any information contained therein.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Debt (including Acquired Debt and Attributable Debt), and the Issuer shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that, the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Debt (including Acquired Debt and Attributable Debt) and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue Preferred Stock if the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on

which such additional Debt is incurred or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Debt had been incurred or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of the net proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”); provided that the amount of Debt (including Acquired Debt) and Preferred Stock that may be incurred or issued, as applicable, pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed an amount equal to (A) $20.0 million at any one time outstanding minus (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of Debt or Preferred Stock incurred or issued by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors pursuant to clauses (4) and (10) of Section 4.03(b).

(b) The provisions of Section 4.03(a) shall not apply to any of the following items of Debt or Preferred Stock (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Debt, including letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) under the Credit Facilities (including Guarantees of such Debt by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); provided that the aggregate principal amount of such Debt outstanding pursuant to this clause (1) does not exceed the excess of (i) $440.0 million less (ii) the amount of all mandatory principal payments (with respect to revolving borrowings and letters of credit, only to the extent revolving commitments are correspondingly reduced) actually made by the borrower thereunder in respect of Debt thereunder with Net Proceeds from Asset Sales;

(2) (a) the incurrence by the Issuer of Debt represented by the Securities issued on the Issue Date, and (b) the incurrence by the Guarantors of the Securities permitted to be incurred pursuant to the foregoing clause (2)(a) of Debt represented by the guarantees of such Securities;

(3) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Debt (including Capital Lease Obligations) incurred or Preferred Stock issued by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to finance the acquisition, construction, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets), provided that the aggregate amount of Debt incurred pursuant to this clause (3) at any time outstanding (other than Debt described on Schedule 4.03 together with any Permitted Refinancing thereof) (when aggregated with all Permitted Refinancing Debt in respect thereof) shall not exceed $25.0 million;

(4) (i) Acquired Debt or (ii) Debt or Preferred Stock of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary incurred or issued to finance an acquisition; provided that after giving effect to the incurrence of Debt pursuant to this clause (4) (x) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be at least equal to or greater than such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition, and (y) with respect to clause (ii) above, either the Debt incurred to finance an acquisition (a) is unsecured and has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity 6 months greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Securities or (b) is funded as an incremental loan under the Senior Credit Facility or as other secured or unsecured Debt, provided that the aggregate principal amount of such Debt at any one time outstanding pursuant to this clause (b) does not exceed $50.0 million; provided, further that no more than $20.0 million of the Debt incurred pursuant to this clause (4), less any amounts incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors under Section 4.03(a) or clause (10) of this Section 4.03(b), shall be Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;

(5) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Debt in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Debt incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) and clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (7), (9) or (10) of this Section 4.03(b);

(6) the incurrence by the Issuer of intercompany Debt or Preferred Stock owed or issued to and held by any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor or the incurrence by a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor of intercompany Debt or Preferred Stock owed or issued to and held by the Issuer or any other Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, provided, however, that (a) any such Debt or Preferred Stock of the Issuer or any Guarantor owing to Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor shall be expressly subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Securities or the Securities Guarantee issued by such Guarantor and (b)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests or other action that results in any such Debt or Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Issuer, a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor (except for any pledge of such Debt constituting a Permitted Lien) or (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Debt or Preferred Stock to a Person that is neither the Issuer, a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor (except for any pledge of such Debt constituting a Permitted Lien), shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Debt or issuance of such Preferred Stock by the Issuer, such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or such Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6) subject to the limitations of Section 4.04;

(7) any Debt of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Issue Date (other than Debt described in clauses (1) or (2));

(8) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred (a) principally for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any Debt that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding or (b) principally for the purpose of fixing or hedging currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(9) (a) the incurrence of any Guarantee by the Issuer or any Guarantor of Debt of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case, which Debt was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant and (b) the incurrence of any Guarantee by any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor of Debt of (i) another Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or (ii) the Issuer or (iii) a Guarantor; provided that if such Debt is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee of such guarantor with respect to such Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to such guarantor’s Guarantee, if any, with respect to the Securities substantially to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the Securities or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable;

(10) the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Debt (including Debt of the Foreign Subsidiaries) in an aggregate principal amount, and the issuance by Restricted Subsidiaries of Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference, at any time outstanding, pursuant to this clause (10) not to exceed an amount equal to $45.0 million (of which amount, no more than $20.0 million, less any amounts incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors under Section 4.03(a) or clause (4) of this Section 4.03(b), shall be Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor);

(11) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Guarantor; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Guarantor or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or a Guarantor or any pledge of such Debt constituting a Permitted Lien) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted under this clause (11);

(12) Debt incurred by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries arising from agreements providing for indemnification or working capital

adjustment, or from guaranties or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing the performance of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to such agreements, in connection with permitted acquisitions or permitted dispositions of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(13) Debt which may be deemed to exist pursuant to any guaranties, performance, surety, statutory, appeal or similar obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(14) Debt in respect of netting services, overdraft protections and otherwise in connection with deposit accounts;

(15) Guarantees in the ordinary course of business of the obligations of suppliers, customers, franchisees and licensees of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(16) Debt incurred by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance, or other Debt with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Debt, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Debt is incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced.

(1) the outstanding principal amount of any particular Debt shall be counted only once such that (without limitation) any obligation arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Debt (to the extent such guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument is otherwise permitted to be incurred) shall be disregarded;

(2) in the event that an item of Debt (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (16) of the definition of Permitted Debt above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify (and may, from time to time, re-classify) such item of Debt (or such portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of Debt (or such portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof, and additionally, all or any portion of any item of Debt may later be reclassified as having been incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or under any category of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (16) above so long as such Debt is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification; provided that all outstanding Debt under the Senior Credit Facility immediately following the Transactions shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and provided, further, that at all times while the GS Parties constitute the Required Holders, any Debt incurred to refinance the Credit Facilities shall be incurred first under clause (1) hereof; and

(3) accrual of interest or dividends (including the issuance of “pay in kind” securities in respect of such accrued interest or dividends), the accretion of accreted value or liquidation preference and the extension of maturity shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt or issuance of Preferred Stock; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer as accrued.

(e) In addition to, and not in limitation of, any other restriction imposed by this Section 4.03,

(1) all Debt of the Issuer issued to or acquired by the Sponsor (i) shall have a Stated Maturity no earlier than, and shall not be subject to amortization or mandatory prepayment (other than Repurchase Offers pursuant to Section 3.09, 4.06 and 4.08) thereof prior to, six months after the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Holdco Securities and (ii) shall be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Holdco Securities and the Securities pursuant to a subordination agreement or other similar contractual arrangements prohibiting any enforcement action on such Debt so long as the Holdco Securities and the Securities are outstanding, as reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders; and

(2) no Debt of any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries may be issued to or acquired by the Sponsor.

For purposes of the foregoing restrictions and for the avoidance of doubt, the term Sponsor shall be deemed not to include Sankaty Advisors, LLC or any investment fund or other account managed or advised by Sankaty Advisors, LLC, which, in each case, invests primarily in fixed income assets or other credit products.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution (including any payment by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) on account of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) of the Issuer and dividends payable to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary);

(2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including any acquisition or retirement by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any merger or consolidation) any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer held by Persons other than the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) make any principal payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or Stated Maturity, any Subordinated Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor (excluding any intercompany Debt between the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Preferred Stock issued by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Debt, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or Stated Maturity, of the Issuer or any Guarantor in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment, mandatory redemption or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement; or

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(ii) the Issuer would, after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; and

(iii) such Restricted Payment, together with (without duplication) the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (10), (11), (12), (13) and (14)) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum (without duplication) (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of:

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

(B) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds and fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of property and marketable securities received by the Issuer from the issue or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of, or from capital contributions with respect to, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than proceeds from Disqualified Equity Interests, and Designated Preferred Stock, Refunding Capital Stock and Excluded Cash Contributions), in either case after the Issue Date; plus

(C) the amount by which the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if less) of Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange after the Issue Date of that Debt for Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock and Excluded Cash Contributions) of the Issuer, together with the net proceeds and fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of property and marketable securities received by the Issuer at the time of such conversion or exchange, if any, less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value of any property (other than such Equity Interests), distributed by the Issuer upon such conversion or exchange;

(D) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of property and marketable securities

received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer since the Issue Date from Restricted Investments, whether through interest payments, principal payments, dividends or other distributions and payments, or the sale or other disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) thereof made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent not otherwise included in Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for such period; plus

(E) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets.

(1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at such date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture, or the redemption, repurchase or retirement of Subordinated Debt, if at the date of any irrevocable redemption notice such payment would have complied with this Section 4.04;

(2) the making of any Restricted Investment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Issuer; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment are designated in an Officer’s Certificate as Excluded Cash Contributions and shall not increase the Restricted Payments Basket;

(3) the redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of Subordinated Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor (A) made by an exchange for, or with the net cash proceeds from, a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Debt or (B) upon a Change of Control or Asset Sale to the extent required by the agreement governing such Subordinated Debt but only if the Issuer shall have complied with Section 4.08 or, as the case may be, 4.06 and purchased all Securities validly tendered pursuant to the relevant offer prior to purchasing or repaying such Subordinated Debt;

(4) (a) the redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Treasury Capital Stock”) of the Issuer or any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer or any Subordinated Debt of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer to the extent contributed to the Issuer (in each case, other than any Disqualified Stock) (“Refunding Capital Stock”), (b) the declaration and payment of dividends on Treasury Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee stock ownership plan or any trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) of Refunding Capital Stock, and (c) if immediately prior to the retirement of Treasury Capital Stock, the declaration and payment of dividends thereon was permitted under clause (12) of this Section 4.03(b), the declaration and payment of dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock (other than Refunding Capital Stock the proceeds of which were used to redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer) in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that were declarable and payable on such Treasury Capital Stock immediately prior to such retirement;

(5) the payment of any dividend (or any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(6) to the extent constituting Restricted Payments, the Specified Affiliate Payments; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of any payments pursuant to Section (1) of the definition of “Specified Affiliate Payments” after giving effect thereto;

(7) Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35.0 million; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of any such Restricted Payment after giving effect thereto;

(9) the payment of dividends on the Issuer’s common stock (or the payment of dividends to any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer, as the case may be, to fund the payment by any such parent company of the Issuer of dividends on such entity’s common stock) following the first public offering of the Issuer’s common stock or the common stock of any of its direct or indirect parent companies after the Issue Date, of up to 6% per annum of the net cash proceeds received by or contributed to the Issuer after the Issue Date in any such

public offering, other than public offerings of common stock of the Issuer (or any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer) registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 and other than any public sale constituting an Excluded Cash Contribution;

(11) the declaration and payments of dividends on Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that, at the time of payment of such dividend, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom);

(12) (a)(i) payment of the GS Parties’ transaction expenses and (ii) payment of the Issuer’s and its Affiliates’ transaction expenses, including fees payable to members of the Initial Control Group (in each case to the extent constituting Restricted Payments) and (b) payments to the Issuer’s officers and employees in connection with the Transactions, in the case of (a)(ii) and (b), previously disclosed to the Initial Purchasers;

(13) (a) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) issued by the Issuer after the Issue Date, provided that the amount of dividends paid pursuant to this clause (a) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of cash actually contributed to the Issuer from the sale of such Designated Preferred Stock;

(b) the declaration and payment of dividends to a direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of such parent company issued after the Issue Date, provided that the amount of dividends paid pursuant to this clause (b) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of cash actually contributed to the Issuer from the sale of such Designated Preferred Stock; or

(c) the declaration and payment of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock that is Preferred Stock in excess of the dividends declarable and payable thereon pursuant to clause (3) of this Section 4.04(b);

provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of any such Restricted Payment after giving effect thereto;

provided, however, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c) of this clause (12), that for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock or the declaration of such dividends on Refunding

Capital Stock that is Preferred Stock, after giving effect to such issuance or declaration on a pro forma basis, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would have had a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00; and

(c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

(d) In addition, if any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) in which an Investment is made, which Investment constituted a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, such Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(iii) to the extent that such Investments would not have been Restricted Payments had such Person been a Restricted Subsidiary at the time such Investments were made.

(1) the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary may use audited financial statements for the portions of the relevant period for which audited financial statements are available on the date of determination and unaudited financial statements and other current financial data based on the books and records of the Issuer for the remaining portion of such period; and

(2) the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial statements and other financial data derived from the books and records of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiary that are available on the date of determination; provided that the determination of the fair market value in excess of $20.0 million shall be confirmed by an investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm of national standing.

(f) If the Issuer makes a Restricted Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary be permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s financial statements, affecting Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for any period. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed that no payment or other transaction permitted by clauses (1) or (5) of Section 4.07(b) below, shall be considered a Restricted Payment for purposes of, or otherwise restricted by, this Indenture.

(g) The Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the second to last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the second paragraph of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if an Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time under this Section 4.04 or the definition of “Permitted Investments” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.05 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to:

(1) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a parent company of such Restricted Subsidiary (A) on its Capital Stock or (B) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (ii) pay any Debt owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a parent company of such Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a parent company of such Restricted Subsidiary; or

(3) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a parent company of such Restricted Subsidiary.

after the Issue Date, provided that the encumbrances or restrictions in any such other agreement are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture and the Securities;

(3) under any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (but not created in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(4) existing under or by reason of purchase money obligations (including Capital Lease Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.05(a) above on the property so acquired;

(6) existing under or by reason of contracts for the sale of assets, including any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition;

(10) contained in the terms governing any Debt otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Indenture if (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) (i) the encumbrances or restrictions are ordinary and customary for a financing of that type and (ii) the encumbrances or restrictions would not, at the time agreed to, be expected to materially adversely affect the ability of Issuer to make payments on the Securities;

(11) under customary provisions contained in leases, subleases, licenses or asset sale agreements and other agreements;

(12) contained in the terms governing any Secured Debt otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenants described under Sections 4.03 and 4.10 that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Debt;

(14) under any Permitted Refinancing Debt or any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings, taken as a whole, are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances or restrictions than those contained in such predecessor agreements.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

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

(2) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of

(y) (i) all or substantially all of the assets of, or the majority of the Voting Stock of, another Person that thereupon becomes a Restricted Subsidiary engaging in, a Permitted Business; or

For purposes of this Section 4.06(a)(2), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(i) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto), of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities or, in the case of liabilities of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or discharged in connection with such Asset Sale;

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days after receipt; and

(iii) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(2) that is at that time outstanding, not in excess of $20.0 million at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, or, with respect to clauses (2) and (3) of this Section 4.06(b), if a contract for such investment has been entered into within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, within 90 days of the date such contract (but only if such 90th day occurs later than the end of such 365 days), the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

(1) to repay Senior Debt, Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) or Pari Passu Debt (in each case other than Debt owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer); provided that if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce Pari Passu Debt, the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Securities through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an Asset Sale Offer to the Holders (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.06(c) and Section 3.09 for an Asset Sale Offer);

(2) to make capital expenditures or to acquire properties or assets that shall be used or useful in the Permitted Business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3) to make an Investment in any one or more businesses that shall be used or useful in the Permitted Business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce borrowing under a Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of Section 4.06(b) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million the Issuer shall:

(1) make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders in accordance with Section 3.09; and

(2) prepay, purchase or redeem (or make an offer to do so) any other Pari Passu Debt of the Issuer in accordance with provisions governing such Debt requiring the Issuer to prepay, purchase or redeem such Debt with the proceeds from any Asset Sales (or offer to do so),

pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Securities and such other Debt required to be prepaid, purchased or redeemed or tendered for, in the case of the Securities pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer to purchase the maximum principal amount of Securities that may be purchased out of such pro rata portion of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of purchase subject to the right of holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the Securities.

(d) If any Excess Proceeds remain after completion of an Asset Sale Offer and, if applicable, any prepayment, purchase, redemption or tender of or for Pari Passu Debt, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Securities surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the pro rata portion of such Excess Proceeds to be used to purchase Securities, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis as provided in Section 3.09. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may commence an Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of 365 days (or such longer period provided above) after the occurrence of an Asset Sale or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $20.0 million or less.

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

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Issue Date involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.07(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors; and

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.07(a), none of the following shall be prohibited by this Section 4.07 (or be deemed to be an Affiliate Transactions):

(1) the payment of management, consulting, monitoring, advisory, transaction and termination fees so long as they are paid pursuant to the Management Agreement and related indemnities and expenses so long as no Default or Event of Default under clauses (1), (2), (9) or (10) of Section 6.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing at the date of such payment or would result therefrom (it being understood that following the cure of all such Events of Default, such payments may be made); provided, that such limitation shall not apply with respect to indemnities and expenses which do not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate,

(2) transactions between or among the Issuer or any of its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor,

(4) the payment of the fees or expenses incurred or paid by the Issuer in connection with the Transactions, the Senior Credit Facility, the Holdco Indenture, this Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,

(5) the issuance of Capital Stock or Equity Interests of the Issuer to the management of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions or pursuant to arrangements described in clause (6) of this Section 4.07(b) or, if otherwise permitted hereunder, to any Affiliate of the Issuer,

(6) loans, advances and other transactions between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent otherwise permitted under this Article 4,

(7) employment, stock option plans, management equity, incentive plans and severance arrangements between the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees in the ordinary course of business,

(9) (i) transactions disclosed by Bright Horizons in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission prior to January 14, 2008 and (ii) transactions pursuant to agreements entered into thereafter and in existence on the Issue Date or any amendment thereto to the extent such an amendment is not materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders,

(10) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement, principal investors agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the

Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (10) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to holders of the Securities in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date,

(11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof that are fair to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as would reasonably have been entered into at such time with an unaffiliated party, or

(12) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors in good faith.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless all Securities have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.07, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer made pursuant to Section 3.09 at an offer price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, thereon, if any, to the date of purchase.

(b) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 3.09 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

SECTION 4.09 Compliance Certificates. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of its duties as Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does have such knowledge, the certificate

shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. At all times after a TIA Event, the Issuer also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five Business Days after any Senior Officer of the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default and the action which the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.10 Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Debt (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Securities are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by such Lien or such other obligations are no longer obligations of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors; provided that:

(a) if such other Debt constitutes Subordinated Debt or is otherwise subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Obligations under this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees, such Lien is expressly made prior and senior in priority to the Lien securing such other Debt; or

(b) in any other case, such Lien ranks equally and ratably with or prior to the Lien securing the other Debt or obligations so secured.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described above in this Section 4.10 that triggered the obligation to secure the Securities and the Security Guarantees.

(a) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the Issue Date and such Domestic Subsidiary is a guarantor of any Obligations under a Credit Facility, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a Security Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture within 30 days of the later of (a) the date on which it was acquired or created or (b) on which it becomes a guarantor of such Credit Facility.

(b) Any Security Guarantee given by any Restricted Subsidiary shall be automatically released at such time as the holders of the Debt under the Credit Facility release their guarantees by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Debt).

(c) Any Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor shall do so by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture hereto as provided in Section 9.01.

(d) The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor.

SECTION 4.13 Taxes. The Issuer shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a material liability or Lien upon the property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate actions and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good faith judgment of management of the Issuer), are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment will not be materially disadvantageous to the Holders.

SECTION 4.14 Corporate Existence. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 4 and Article 5 and as described in Schedule I to the Credit Agreement for the Senior Credit Facility, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if its Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities.

SECTION 4.15 Limitation on Layered Debt. The Issuer shall not incur any Debt that is (a) expressly subordinate in right of payment to any Senior Debt and (b) senior in any respect in right of payment of Securities. No Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall incur any Debt that is (a) expressly subordinate in right of payment to any Senior Debt and (b) senior in any respect in right of payment to the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor. In addition, so long as the GS Parties constitute the Required Holders, neither the Issuer nor a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall incur any Secured Debt (including any second lien debt or

“first loss” tranche secured debt) which is, by its express terms, subordinated as to rights to receive proceeds of collateral to any other Secured Debt of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor secured in whole or in part by the same collateral.

(c) The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

(d) A Default under clause (4) (except as otherwise set forth in the proviso to such clause (4)) or (5) of Section 6.01(a) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Issuer in writing by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time, if applicable, specified in clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.01(a) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer in writing, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice in writing to the Issuer, may declare the principal amount of and accrued but unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01(a) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders.

(b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities as described in Section 6.02(a), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences: (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration; (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and (iv) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. If, at any time while the GS Parties constitute the Required Holders, unless waived by the GS Parties, a Default in the payment when due of interest on, principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Securities or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then in each case the Securities will accrue interest at the stated interest rate on the Securities plus the Default Interest Rate until the earlier of such time as no such Default or such Event of Default shall be continuing (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable). At any other time, any amounts payable under or in respect of the Securities not paid when due will accrue interest at the stated interest rate on the Securities plus the Default Interest Rate until such time as such amounts are paid in full, including any interest thereon (to the extent that the payment of such overdue interest shall be legally enforceable). Default interest shall be payable in cash on demand and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative (to the extent permitted by law).

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Event of Default in the payment of interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Securities. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and ceases to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and waived for every purpose under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

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

SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing or the Trustee has received such notice from the Issuer;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holders have offered and, if requested, provided the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of such security or indemnity; and

(e) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Securityholder shall not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. The limitation set forth in this Section 6.06 shall not apply to the GS Parties so long as the GS Parties constitute the Required Holders.

SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after

the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

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

SECTION 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

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

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

SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,

having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities.

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

SECTION 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

SECTION 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

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

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

(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 statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the statements, certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer or Trust Officers unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction 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 accordance with a direction received by it from any party authorized to direct the Trustee under this Indenture.

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01 and to the provisions of the TIA after a TIA Event has occurred.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. No such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may act through 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 it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

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

(f) 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, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note 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, to the extent permitted by law, to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall not be required to give any note, bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Indenture.

(h) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take any action enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty to take such action.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(j) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s 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 Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(k) Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate.

(l) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuer with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4.

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

(n) The Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or an indenture referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to see to any insurance.

SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co registrar or co paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 and Sections 310(b) and 311 of the TIA after a TIA Event has occurred.

SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and no representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the Trustee as to the accuracy or completeness of the information included or incorporated by reference in the offering memorandum or any other information supplied in connection with the Securities.

SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on any Security, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a

committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of Securityholders. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Senior Officer obtaining actual knowledge of any Default, written notice of any event which would constitute such Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, except in the case of an Event of Default under clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a) (provided that the Trustee is Paying Agent), unless and until a Trust Officer receives written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office, from the Issuer or a Holder that such Default has occurred.

SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. At all times after a TIA Event, the Trustee shall transmit to the Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the TIA at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. To the extent that any such report is required by the TIA with respect to any 12-month period, such report shall cover the 12-month period ending May 15 and shall be transmitted by the next succeeding July 14. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate indicating whether the signers thereof actually know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous year.

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

SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as is agreed to in writing by the Trustee and Issuer for the Trustee’s services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it, including but not limited to costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s counsel, agents, accountants and experts. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend the Trustee and its officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by them without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the Securities and the performance of their duties hereunder, including the cost and expense of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07), and defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability (whether asserted by a Holder or any other person). The Trustee, in its capacity as Paying Agent, Registrar, Custodian and agent for service of notice and demands, and the Trustee’s officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees, when acting in such other capacity, shall have the full benefit of the foregoing

indemnity as well as all other benefits, rights and privileges accorded to the Trustee in this Indenture when acting in such other capacity. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such Indemnified Parties may have one separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such Indemnified Parties’ defense and, in such Indemnified Parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and such parties in connection with such defense. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an Indemnified Party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Issuer need not pay any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In no event shall the Issuer be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Issuer has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Indenture shall not be subordinated to any other Debt of the Issuer, and the Securities shall be subordinate to the Trustee’s rights to receive such payment.

The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee hereunder, except that are held in trust to pay amounts due on the Securities.

SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

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

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

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s and Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, provided, that such Person shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 7.

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

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. After the occurrence of a TIA Event, the Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. After the occurrence of a TIA Event, the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

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

(a) The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.01(b) or 8.01(c) be applied to all outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

(b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01(a) of the option applicable to this Section 8.01(b), the Issuer and each Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to the Securities and any Security Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and each Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Securities and any Security Guarantee, which Securities and Security Guarantees shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.04 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive solely from the trust fund described in this Article 8, as more fully set forth in such Article, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Securities under Article 2 and Sections 4.01, 7.07 and 7.08, which shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full (thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Section 7.02 and Section 7.07 shall survive), and (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the

Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s obligations in connection therewith and (iv) this Section 8.01 and Section 8.02. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding the prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option.

(c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01(a) of the option applicable to this Section 8.01(c) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, each Guarantor shall be released from its Security Guarantee and the Issuer and each Guarantor shall be released from their obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 5.01(a)(4) and 5.02 with respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration of act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such Sections, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all the other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, Sections 6.01(a)(3) (with respect to compliance with Section 5.01(a)(4)), 6.01(a)(4) (with respect to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16), 6.01(a)(5) (with respect to compliance with Sections 4.02, 4.05, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 4.14), 6.01(a)(6), 6.01(a)(7), 6.01(a)(9), 6.01(a)(10) (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), Section 6.01(a)(10) (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.01(a)(11) and 6.01(a)(12) shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.02 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee (or another qualifying trustee; for purposes of this Section 8.02 and Section 8.04, the term “Trustee” shall include such other qualifying trustee), in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, Government Notes, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient (without reinvestment), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Securities are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions: (A) the Issuer 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, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

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

(d) no Default (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

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

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and qualifications) to the effect that, assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Issuer or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the 91^st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an “insider” of the Issuer under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91^st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any analogous New York State law provision;

(g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, or others; and

SECTION 8.03 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Upon the request of the Issuer, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, as expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be discharged from their obligations under the Securities and the Security Guarantees, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Security Guarantees, any Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities when:

(a) either (i) all the Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, (B) will become due and payable at maturity within one year or (C) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in trust for such purpose in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Debt on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be and any Additional Interest, if any, thereon;

(b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; and

(c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided in this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Security Guarantees and the Securities have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 7.02 and Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of this Section 8.03, the obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent under Section 8.04 and Section 2.04 shall survive.

SECTION 8.04 Deposited Money and Government Notes to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.05, all money and Government Notes (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 in respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any

Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Notes held by it as provided in Section 8.02 or 8.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.02(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

SECTION 8.05 Repayment to Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published once, in the New York Times (national edition) and the Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer.

SECTION 8.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Notes in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer or any Guarantor makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

SECTION 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

(b) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(c) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger, consolidation or sale of assets;

(f) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor;

(g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof;

(h) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Securities as permitted by this Indenture, including to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Securities; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Securities;

(i) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith, does not adversely affect the legal rights of any such Holder under this Indenture; or

(j) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA after a TIA Event has occurred.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.01.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by

the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit I hereto, and delivery of an Officer’s Certificate.

SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees without notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities), and any existing default or compliance with any provisions of this Indenture, the Securities and the Security Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver shall not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(b) reduce the principal amount or change the fixed maturity of any Security, reduce any premium payable upon, or change the dates (to earlier dates) of, redemption of any Security (other than provisions applicable to Section 4.06 or 4.08);

(d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

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

(f) impair the rights of the Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Securities;

(g) after the time a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer is required to have been made, reduce the purchase amount or price or extend the latest expiration date or purchase date thereunder;

and (II) no provision of this Indenture that applies only while the GS Parties constitute the Required Holders shall be amended or waived without the consent of such of the GS Parties who then are the Holders of the Securities.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 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 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section.

SECTION 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture or the Securities effected after the occurrence of a TIA Event shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the requisite number of consents are received by the Issuer or the Trustee. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective once the requisite number of consents are received by the Issuer or the Trustee and any other conditions to effectiveness of such consent specified in the amendment or waiver are satisfied.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

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

SECTION 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

SECTION 10.01 Agreement to Subordinate. The Issuer agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the Debt evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all existing and future Senior Debt of the Issuer and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer. The Securities shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Pari Passu Debt of the Issuer and only Debt of the Issuer that is Senior Debt shall rank senior to the Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 10 shall be subject to Section 10.12.

SECTION 10.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution to creditors of the Issuer in a liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Issuer’s assets and liabilities for the benefit of creditors, the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt, whether or not allowed or allowable in such proceeding) before the Holders of Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Securities, and

until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt are paid in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, any payment or distribution to which the Holders of Securities would be entitled shall be made to the holders of Senior Debt, except that Holders of Securities may receive and retain:

(b) payments made from the trust described under Article 8 so long as, on the date or dates the respective amounts were paid into the trust, such payments were made with respect to the Securities without violating the provisions of this Article 10).

(a) The Issuer shall not make any payment or distribution upon or in respect of the Securities (except from the trust described under Article 8) if:

(1) a default in the payment of any Obligations with respect to Designated Senior Debt of the Issuer occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period (a “payment default”) or any other default on Designated Senior Debt of the Issuer occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated and not paid in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, in accordance with its terms; or

(2) a default, other than a payment default, occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Debt of the Issuer that permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity (a “non-payment default”) and, in the case of this clause (2) only, the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Issuer, a Representative for, or the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of, any issue of Designated Senior Debt.

(1) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived and, in the case of any such Designated Senior Debt that has been accelerated, such acceleration has been rescinded; and

(2) in case of a non-payment default, the earliest of (I) the date on which such non-payment default is cured or waived, (II) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, and (III) the date on which the Trustee receives notice from the Representative for such Designated Senior Debt of the Issuer rescinding the Payment Blockage Notice (such period beginning upon the delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice and ending on the earlier of clauses (I) to (III), the “Payment Blockage Period”), unless the maturity of any such Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated.

(1) 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice; and

(2) all scheduled payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash.

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

(e) In any event, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any 360-day period and there shall be a period of at least 181 days during each 360-day period when no Payment Blockage Period is in effect and (y) so long as there shall remain outstanding Designated Senior Debt under the Senior Credit Facility, a Payment Blockage Notice may only be given by the Representatives thereunder.

SECTION 10.04 Acceleration of Payment of Securities. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Representative of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility of the acceleration. If payment on the Securities is accelerated prior to the payment in full in cash of all Designated Senior Debt, the Issuer may not make any payment with respect to the Securities until five business days after the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or their representatives) have received written notice of such acceleration, and then only to the extent not prohibited by this Article 10.

(a) If the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Holder receives a payment in respect of the Securities (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described under Article 8) when:

(2) the Trustee, Paying Agent or the Holder has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited;

the Trustee, Paying Agent or the Holder, as the case may be, shall hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer. Upon the written request of the holders of such Senior Debt, the Trustee, Paying Agent or Holder, as the case may be, shall deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of such Senior Debt or their Representative.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of

the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than three Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee or Paying Agent receives written notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article 10. The Issuer, the Registrar or co-registrar, any Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of the Issuer may give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Debt of the Issuer has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Debt of the Issuer (or a Representative of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Debt of the Issuer or a Representative thereof.

SECTION 10.06 Subrogation. If and when all Senior Debt of the Issuer is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt of the Issuer. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as between the Issuer and Securityholders, a payment by the Issuer on Senior Debt of the Issuer.

SECTION 10.07 Relative Rights. This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

(a) impair, as between the Issuer and Securityholders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms;

(b) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer to receive distributions otherwise payable to Securityholders; or

(c) affect the relative rights of Securityholders and creditors of the Issuer other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior Debt.

SECTION 10.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Issuer. No right of any holder of Senior Debt of the Issuer to enforce the subordination of the Debt evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Issuer or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 10.09 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. The Trustee (or any Authenticating Agent hereunder) in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee (or Authenticating Agent hereunder). The Registrar and any co-registrar and any Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee (and any Authenticating Agent hereunder), the Registrar, any co-registrar and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 10 with respect to any Senior Debt of the Issuer which may at any time be held by them, to the same extent as any

other holder of Senior Debt of the Issuer; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee (or any Authenticating Agent hereunder) or any such other Person of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

SECTION 10.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any).

SECTION 10.11 Article 10 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any provision in this Article 10 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 10 shall have any effect on the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Securities.

SECTION 10.12 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Notes held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt of the Issuer or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 10, and none of the Securityholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Issuer or any holder of Senior Debt of the Issuer or any other creditor of the Issuer, so long as the deposit of money or Government Notes into such trust was made in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 and did not violate the provisions of this Article 10 at the time such deposit was made.

SECTION 10.13 Trustee Entitled to Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Securityholders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representative for the holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt of the Issuer and other Debt of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee or Paying Agent determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of the Issuer to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee or Paying Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or Paying Agent as to the amount of Senior Debt of the Issuer held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee or Paying Agent may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee or Paying Agent pursuant to this Article 10.

SECTION 10.14 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer as provided in this Article 10 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Debt or their Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 10.15 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 10. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary or other duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Securityholders or the Issuer or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt of the Issuer shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or otherwise.

SECTION 10.16 Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt of the Issuer, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

SECTION 10.17 Trustee’s Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections of this Indenture.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, subject to any applicable grace period, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer, whether for expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.02(b).

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Security Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. To the extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(d) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Security Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

(e) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest or premium, if any, on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Trustee.

(f) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Security Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01.

(g) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed (after giving effect to all its Guarantees of Debt under the Senior Credit Facility) without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(1) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise;

(2) the sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of any Guarantor if as a result of such disposition, such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer;

(3) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Senior Credit Facilities or the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Securities Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;

(4) the proper designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(5) the Issuer exercising Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

then the Person acquiring such assets (in the case of clause (1) and notwithstanding Section 5.02) or such Guarantor (in the case of clause (2), (3), (4) and (5)) shall be automatically and irrevocably released and relieved of any obligations under its Security Guarantee and this Indenture; provided that such sale or other disposition is in compliance with this Indenture, including Section 4.06 (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Proceeds as is or is required to be applied on or before the date of such release in accordance with Section 4.06 needs to be so applied).

(c) If the Security Guarantee of any Guarantor terminates pursuant to the foregoing provisions or pursuant to Section 4.11(b) such Person shall cease to be a Guarantor or otherwise a party to this Indenture and, upon request by the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute appropriate instruments acknowledging such termination and the release of such Person from its obligations under its Security Guarantee and hereunder. It is expressly acknowledged that the application of the Net Proceeds of any such sale or other disposition referred to in subsection (b) in accordance with Section 4.06 following the date of such release shall not be a condition precedent to such release and any failure to make such application as required by such Section 4.06 shall not cause the revocation of any such release (it being understood that such failure shall constitute a Default or Event of Default, as applicable).

SECTION 11.03 Successors and Assigns. This Article 11 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.04 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 11 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 11.05 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 11.06 Execution and Delivery of the Security Guarantee. The execution by each Guarantor of the Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit I) evidences the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Security. The delivery of any Security after authentication by the Trustee constitutes due delivery of the Security Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

SECTION 12.01 Agreement to Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that such Guarantor’s obligations under its Security Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all existing and future Senior Debt of such Guarantor and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of Senior Debt of such Guarantor. The obligations of a Guarantor under this Article 12 shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Pari Passu Debt of such Guarantor, and only Debt of such Guarantor that is Senior Debt shall rank senior to the obligations of such Guarantor in this Article 12 in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

SECTION 12.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution to creditors of any Guarantor in a liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to any Guarantor or its property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of any Guarantor’s assets and liabilities for the benefit of creditors, the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, of all Obligations due in respect

of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt, whether or not allowed or allowable in such proceeding) before the Holders of Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Securities, and until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt are paid in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, any payment or distribution to which the Holders of Securities would be entitled shall be made to the holders of Senior Debt, except that Holders of may receive and retain:

(a) A Guarantor may not make any payment or distribution upon or in respect of its Security Guarantee (except from the trust described under Article 8) if:

(1) a payment default occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period with respect to Designated Senior Debt of such Guarantor or any other default on any such Designated Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated and not paid in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, in accordance with its terms; or

(2) a non-payment default occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity and, in the case of this clause (2) only, the Trustee receives a Payment Blockage Notice in respect of such default from such Guarantor, a Representative for, or the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of, any issue of Designated Senior Debt.

(2) in case of a non-payment default, the earlier of the date on which such non-payment default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless the maturity of any such Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated.

(1) 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice; and

(2) all scheduled payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 12.04 Demand for Payment. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on a Guarantor pursuant to Article 11, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer, and the Issuer shall promptly (and in no event more than five Business Days after receipt of such notice) notify the Representative of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility of the acceleration. If payment on the Securities is accelerated prior to the payment in full in cash of all Designated Senior Debt, such Guarantor may not make any payment with respect to its Security Guarantee until five business days after the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or their representatives) have received written notice of such acceleration, and then only to the extent not prohibited by this Article 12.

(a) If the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Holder receives a payment in respect of the Security Guarantee of any Guarantor (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described under Article 8) when:

(2) the Trustee, Paying Agent or the Holder has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited;

the Trustee, Paying Agent or Holder, as the case may be, shall hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt of such Guarantor. Upon the written request of the holders of such Senior Debt, the Trustee, Paying Agent or Holder, as the case may be, shall deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of such Senior Debt or their Representative.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on such Securities Guarantee and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than three Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee or Paying Agent receives written notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article 12. The Issuer, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of such Guarantor may give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Debt of such Guarantor has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Debt of any Guarantor (or a Representative of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Debt of such Guarantor or a Representative thereof.

SECTION 12.06 Subrogation. If and when all Senior Debt of a Guarantor is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of such Guarantor to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt of such Guarantor. A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of Senior Debt of such Guarantor which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as between such Guarantor and Securityholders, a payment by such Guarantor on Senior Debt of such Guarantor.

SECTION 12.07 Relative Rights. This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Debt of a Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

(a) impair, as between a Guarantor and Securityholders, the obligation of a Guarantor which is absolute and unconditional, to pay its Obligations under its Security Guarantee to the extent set forth in Article 11;

(b) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by a Guarantor under its Obligations under its Security Guarantee, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of such Guarantor to receive distributions otherwise payable to Securityholders; or

(c) affect the relative rights of Securityholders and creditors of such Guarantor other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior Debt.

SECTION 12.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by a Guarantor. No right of any holder of Senior Debt of a Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the Obligations under the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by such Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 12.09 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. The Trustee (or any Authenticating Agent hereunder) in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt of any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee (or Authenticating Agent hereunder). The Registrar and any co-registrar and any Paying Agent may do the same with like

rights. The Trustee (and any Authenticating Agent hereunder), the Registrar, any co-registrar and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Debt of any Guarantor which may at any time be held by them, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt of such Guarantor; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee (or any Authenticating Agent hereunder) or any such other Person of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

SECTION 12.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt of a Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any).

SECTION 12.11 Article 12 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate. The failure of a Guarantor to make a payment on any of its Obligations under its Security Guarantee by reason of any provision in this Article 12 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by such Guarantor under its Security Guarantee. Nothing in this Article 12 shall have any effect on the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on a Guarantor pursuant to this Article 12.

SECTION 12.12 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Notes held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt of any Guarantor or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 12, and none of the Securityholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Issuer or any holder of Senior Debt of any Guarantor or any other creditor of the Issuer, so long as the deposit of money or Government Notes into such trust was made in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 and did not violate the provisions of this Article 12 at the time such deposit was made.

SECTION 12.13 Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Securityholders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Debt of a Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt of a Guarantor and other Debt of a Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee or Paying Agent determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of a Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee or Paying Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or Paying Agent as to the amount of Senior Debt of such Guarantor held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article

12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee or Paying Agent may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee or Paying Agent pursuant to this Article 12.

SECTION 12.14 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the holders of Senior Debt of each of the Guarantors as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

SECTION 12.15 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of a Guarantor. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantors, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 12. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary or other duty to the holders of Senior Debt of a Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Securityholders or the relevant Guarantor or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt of such Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise.

SECTION 12.16 Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt of a Guarantor on Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt of a Guarantor, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

SECTION 12.17 Trustee’s Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections of this Indenture.

SECTION 13.01 Trust Indenture Act Controls. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be included in this Indenture by the TIA, the required provision shall control at all times after a TIA Event.

SECTION 13.02 Notices. Any notice or communication shall be in writing and delivered, electronically, in person or mailed by first-class mail addressed as follows:

The Issuer or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

Any notice or communication sent to a Securityholder shall be made in compliance with Section 313(c) of the TIA so long as a TIA Event has occurred and sent to the Securityholder at the Securityholder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given if so sent within the time prescribed.

Failure to send a notice or communication to a Securityholder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Securityholders. If a notice or communication is sent in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

SECTION 13.03 Communication by Holders with Other Holders. After a TIA Event has occurred, Securityholders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities, and the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c).

SECTION 13.04 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, at the request of the Trustee the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee:

(a) an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 13.05) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 13.05) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall comply with Section 314(c)(3) of the TIA after a TIA Event has occurred.

SECTION 13.05 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture shall include:

(a) statement that the individual making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(c) a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with or satisfied; and

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

SECTION 13.06 When Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent and for purposes of determining the requisite percentage of the Required Holders Securities owned by the Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

SECTION 13.07 Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Securityholders. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions.

SECTION 13.08 Legal Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the State of New York or the state where the Corporate Trust Office is located. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

SECTION 13.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

SECTION 13.10 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, member, partner, manager, incorporator, employee, stockholder or Affiliate as such, of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

SECTION 13.11 Successors. All agreements of the Issuer and each Guarantor in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind their successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 13.12 Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

SECTION 13.13 Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

SECTION 13.14 Severability.

The Company will pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and to the extent lawful, interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate otherwise payable on this Security plus 2%, provided that if an Event of Default occurs, the GS Parties constitute the Required Holders, and the GS Parties have made demand therefor, the entire principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2% plus the otherwise applicable interest rate from the date of such non-payment until paid in full or the applicable Event of Default has otherwise been cured or waived.

This is one of the Securities issued under an Indenture dated as of May 28, 2008 (as amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and at all times after a TIA Event, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.

The Securities are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities to $300.0 million. This Security is guaranteed by the Guarantors as set forth in the Indenture. The guarantees are subordinated as set forth in the Indenture to all Obligations in respect of Senior Debt (including all interest accrued or accruing on Senior Debt after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or similar case or proceeding at the contract rate (including, without limitation, any contract rate applicable upon default) specified in the relevant documentation, whether or not the claim for the interest is allowed as a claim in the case or proceeding with respect to the Senior Debt).

3. Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge or Defeasance Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

This Security is subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of a Repurchase Offer, as further described in the Indenture. Except for certain required Repurchase Offers, there is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Security.

If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or Government Notes sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, the Company may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture and the Securities or may be discharged from certain of its obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture.

This Security is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Issuer, as defined in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt of the Issuer must be paid before the Securities may be paid. The Issuer agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security or certain portions of a Security.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the Securities automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Securities may be amended and defaults may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.

This Security is not valid until the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

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