All other payments on Notes, including payments on PIK Notes (except payments on PIK Notes or Global Notes which shall be made as provided in Sections 2.02 and 4.01) shall be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make cash interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.

The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes.
 
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent or notice, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Subsidiary shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or notice, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.  To the extent permitted by the TIA, certain provisions of the TIA applicable to the foregoing have been expressly excluded and are covered by Sections 6.04 and 6.05 hereof.
 
The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes (including any outstanding Additional Notes issued (including by any increase in the principal amount of any Global Note previously authenticated) hereunder) outstanding at such date of determination (as determined in accordance with this Section 2.10 and Section 2.09).  With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes held by Holders that have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with this Section 2.10 and Section 2.09.  Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made by the Company and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.

(ii) in the case of the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (as long as the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was deemed a Restricted Payment), the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary; provided, however, that if such amount exceeds the amount of the Restricted Payment deemed made at the time the Subsidiary was designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, then only 50% of such excess may be added for purposes of this clause (C)(ii); plus
 
(D) any amount which previously qualified as a Restricted Payment on account of any guarantee entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such guarantee has not been called upon and the obligation arising under such guarantee no longer exists.

Section 4.11. Asset Sales.
 
(a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale unless (1) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Sale is received in cash or Cash Equivalents and (2) the Company 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 of assets or Capital Stock subject to such Asset Sale.
 
For purposes of paragraph (a)(1) above, the following shall be deemed to be cash: (A) the amount of any Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is actually assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and from which the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are fully and unconditionally released (excluding any liabilities that are incurred in connection with or in anticipation of such Asset Sale and contingent liabilities), (B) the amount of any notes, securities or other similar obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted, sold or exchanged (or are converted, sold or exchanged within 90 days

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, all or a portion of such proceeds may be applied by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement):
 
(1) to prepay permanently or repay permanently any First Priority Lien Obligations then outstanding as required by the terms thereof (and in the case of any such Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility), or
 
(2) if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply such Net Cash Proceeds to the permanent repayment or permanent prepayment of any First Priority Lien Obligations, or if no such First Priority Lien Obligations are then outstanding, to acquire (A) all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or (B) properties and other assets that (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries (including pursuant to capital expenditures) existing on the date of this Indenture or in a Permitted Business; provided, however, that, with respect to an Asset Sale involving Collateral (a “Collateral Asset Sale”), the Company and the Guarantors must execute and deliver to the Trustee such collateral documents or other instruments as are reasonably necessary to cause such replacement properties and assets to become subject to a Second Priority Lien to the extent required by the Security Documents in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Notes, and otherwise shall comply with the provisions in this Indenture including Section 4.15 hereof, and the Security Documents governing After-Acquired Property.
 
In the case of clause (2) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.11 if it enters into a binding commitment to acquire such properties, assets or Capital Stock prior to 365 days after the receipt of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds; provided that such binding commitment will be subject only to customary conditions and such acquisition is completed as to any Collateral Asset Sale (and the obligations specified in the proviso to clause (b)(2) are satisfied) within 180 days following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period. If the acquisition contemplated by such binding commitment is not consummated on or before such 180th  day, and the Company has not applied the applicable Net Cash Proceeds for another purpose permitted by the applicable preceding paragraph of this Section 4.11 on or before such 180th  day, such commitment shall be deemed to not have been a permitted application of Net Cash Proceeds.
 

 
- 73 -

 

The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds from any Collateral Asset Sale that are not used or invested in accordance with the preceding clauses (1) and (2) within 365 days of the Asset Sale constitutes “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale not involving Collateral that are not used or invested in accordance with the preceding clauses (1) and (2) within 365 days of the Asset Sale constitutes “Excess Proceeds.

The offer price (the “Collateral Asset  Sale Offer Price”) in any Collateral Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Collateral  Asset Sale Offer Date”), and will be payable in cash. If any Collateral Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Collateral Excess Proceeds for any purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Collateral Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased shall be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
 
(2) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million or more, the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 4.11 with respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase in cash the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price (the “Asset Sale Offer Price”) in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale  Offer Date”), and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
 
(d) Pending application of Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.11, such Net Cash Proceeds may be invested in Cash Equivalents or applied to temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, under the Credit Agreement or any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor.
 
(e) If the Company becomes obligated to make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to clause (c) above, the Notes and (in the case of an Asset Sale Offer) the Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the holders thereof, in whole or in part in amounts of $5,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess

(f) To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Section 4.11, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue of such conflict.
 
(g) The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Designated Non-cash Consideration held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary at any given time, taken together with the Fair Market Value at the time of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received and still held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary at such time, may not exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at the time of the receipt of the Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
 
(h) Subject to paragraph (f) above, within 30 days after the date on which the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be, exceeds $5.0 million, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee and to each Holder, at his address appearing in the Security Register, a notice stating or including:

Section 4.16. Events of Loss.
 
(a) In the event of an Event of Loss with respect to any Collateral, the Company or the affected Guarantor, as the case may be, shall apply the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss, within 365 days after receipt, at its option to (1) the prepayment or repayment of any First Priority Lien Obligations, (2) the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the affected property or (3) make capital expenditures with respect to Collateral or to acquire properties or assets that will constitute Collateral and be used or useful in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) Any Net Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss that are not applied or invested as provided in paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Loss  Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all holders of Notes (a “Loss Proceeds Offer”) to purchase in cash the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of such Excess Loss Proceeds, at an offer price (the “Loss Proceeds Offer Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (the “Loss Proceeds Offer Date”). If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders of Notes exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds to be used to purchase Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis.
 
(c) The Company shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with a Loss Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.
 
(d) Subject to paragraph (c) above, within 30 days after the date on which the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee and to each Holder, at his address appearing in the Security Register, a notice stating or including:
 
(1) that the Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase, subject to proration, such Holder’s Notes at the Loss Proceeds Offer Price;
 
(2) the Loss Proceeds Offer Date;
 
(3) the instructions a Holder must follow in order to have his or her Notes purchased in accordance with paragraph (b) above;
 
(4) the Loss Proceeds Offer Price;
 
(5) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 4.02 hereof;
 
(6) that Notes must be surrendered prior to the Loss Proceeds Offer Date to the Paying Agent at the office of the Paying Agent or to an office or agency referred to in Section 4.02 to collect payment;
 
(7) that any Notes not tendered will continue to accrue interest and that unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Loss Proceeds Offer Price, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Loss Proceeds Offer, shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Loss Proceeds Offer Date;
 
(8) the procedures for withdrawing a tender; and
 

 
- 81 -

 

(9) that the Loss Proceeds Offer Price for any Note which has been properly tendered and not withdrawn and which has been accepted for payment pursuant to the Loss Proceeds Offer will be paid promptly following the Loss Proceeds Offer Date.
 
(e) Holders electing to have Notes purchased hereunder will be required to surrender such Notes at the address specified in the notice prior to the Loss Proceeds Offer Date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election to have their Notes purchased pursuant to this Section 4.16 if the Company receives, not later than one Business Day prior to the Loss Proceeds Offer Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth (1) the name of the Holder, (2) the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, (3) the principal amount of the Note (which shall be $5,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) delivered for purchase by the Holder as to which his election is to be withdrawn, (4) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such principal amount of such Note purchased, and (5) the principal amount, if any, of such Note (which shall be $5,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) that remains subject to the original notice of the Loss Proceeds Offer and that has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.
 
(f) The Company shall (i) not later than the Loss Proceeds Offer Date accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Loss Proceeds Offer, (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Loss Proceeds Offer Date deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Loss Proceeds Offer Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased on that date and (iii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Loss Proceeds Offer Date deliver to the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Loss Proceeds Offer Price of the Notes purchased from each such Holder, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Paying Agent at the Company’s expense to the Holder thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.16, the Company shall choose a Paying Agent which shall not be the Company.
 
Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to Section 7.01(f)), held by them for the payment of the Loss Proceeds Offer Price; provided, however, that (x) to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company with the Trustee in respect of a Loss Proceeds Offer exceeds the aggregate Loss Proceeds Offer Price of the Notes or portions thereof to be purchased, then the Trustee shall hold such excess for the Company and (y) unless otherwise directed by the Company in writing, promptly after two Business Days following the Loss Proceeds Offer Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to Section 7.01(f) hereof).
 
(g) Notes to be purchased shall, on the Loss Proceeds Offer Date, become due and payable at the Loss Proceeds Offer Price and from and after such date (unless the Company
 

 
- 82 -

 

shall default in the payment of the Loss Proceeds Offer Price) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Such Loss Proceeds Offer Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of the Loss Proceeds Offer Date and the time of delivery of such Note to the relevant Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required. Upon surrender of any such Note for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Loss Proceeds Offer Price; provided however that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Loss Proceeds Offer Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 2.04; provided further that Notes to be purchased are subject to proration in the event the Excess Loss Proceeds are less than the aggregate Loss Proceeds Offer Price of all Notes tendered for purchase, with such adjustments as may be appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $5,000 or whole multiples of $1000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased. If any Note tendered for purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof by deposit of funds with the Trustee or a Paying Agent in accordance with paragraph (f) above, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Loss Proceeds Offer Date at the rate borne by such Note. Any Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent (with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Loss Proceeds Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Loss Proceeds Offer Date.
 
Section 4.17. Impairment of Collateral.
 
Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may take or omit to take any action which action or omission has the effect, or could reasonably be expected to have the result, of materially adversely affecting or impairing the Second Priority Lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral, other than as expressly contemplated by this Indenture or the Security Documents.
 
Section 4.18. Limitation on Parent.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Restricted Subsidiary holding any of the Collateral) as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:
 
(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;
 
(2)  (x) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 4.08 hereof in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the greater of (1) the net book value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary calculated in accordance with GAAP or (2) the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (y) the Designation Amount is less than $1,000;

(4) such Unrestricted Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock in any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company which is not simultaneously being designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary;
 
(5) such Unrestricted Subsidiary is not liable, directly or indirectly, with respect to any Indebtedness other than Unrestricted Subsidiary Indebtedness, provided that an Unrestricted Subsidiary may provide a Guarantee for the Notes; and
 
(6) except as would be permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, such Unrestricted Subsidiary is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding at such time with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or, in the event such condition is not satisfied, the value of such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding to such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed a Restricted Payment.
 
(b) In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof for all purposes of this Indenture in the Designation Amount.
 
(c) The Company shall not and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to at any time

or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness) (other than Permitted Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or
 
(2) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary.
 
(d) For purposes of the foregoing, the Designation of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the Designation of all of the Restricted Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Company will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary.
 
(e) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) if:
 
(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation;
 
(2) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture; and
 
(3) unless such redesignated Subsidiary shall not have any Indebtedness outstanding (other than Indebtedness that would be Permitted Debt), immediately after giving effect to such proposed Revocation, and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any such Indebtedness of such redesignated Subsidiary as if such Indebtedness was incurred on the date of the Revocation, the Company could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 4.07 hereof.
 
(f) All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.19.

- 85 -

 

$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer to purchase in cash all of the Notes, at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101 % of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”) (subject to the rights of holders of record on relevant Regular Record Dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date).
 
(b) Within 30 days of any Change of Control or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, the Company must notify the Trustee and give written notice of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Purchase Notice”) to each Holder of Notes, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at his address appearing in the security register. The Change of Control Purchase Notice must state, among other things:
 
(1) that a Change of Control has occurred or will occur and the date of such event;
 
(2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;
 
(3) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be fixed by the Company on a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements under the Exchange Act; provided that the Change of Control Purchase Date may not occur prior to the Change of Control;
 
(4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
 
(5) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; and
 
(6) other procedures that a Holder of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw acceptance of the Change of Control Offer.
 
(c) Upon receipt by the Company of the proper tender of Notes, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such proper tender was made shall (unless the tender of such Note is properly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to such Notes. Upon surrender of any such Note for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 2.03. If any Note tendered for purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.21 shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Change of Control Purchase Date at the rate borne by such Note. Holders electing to have Notes purchased will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the Change of Control Purchase Notice at least one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date. Any Note that is to be purchased

only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent (with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so require, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased.
 
(d) The Company shall (i) not later than the Change of Control Purchase Date accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Change of Control Purchase Date deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased on that date and (iii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Change of Control Purchase Date deliver to the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company.

Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Paying Agent at the Company’s expense to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on the Change of Control Purchase Date. For purposes of this Section 4.21, the Company shall choose a Paying Agent which shall not be the Company.

Control Purchase Notice and that has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.
 
(f) Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to Section 7.01(f) hereof), held by them for the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided, however, that (x) to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company with the Trustee in respect of a Change of Control Offer exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof to be purchased, then the Trustee shall hold such excess for the Company and (y) unless otherwise directed by the Company in writing, promptly after the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to Section 7.01(f) hereof).
 
(g) The Company shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.21, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.21 by virtue of such conflict.
 
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company 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 this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
 
Section 4.22. Limitation on Capital Expenditures.

provided, however, that if the amount of Capital Expenditures permitted to be made in any fiscal year as set forth in the above table is greater than the actual amount of the Capital Expenditures actually made in such fiscal year (the amount by which such permitted Capital Expenditures for such fiscal year exceeds the actual amount of Capital Expenditures for such fiscal year, the “Excess Amount”), then the lesser of (i) such Excess Amount and (ii) 25% of the amount set forth in the above table for the next succeeding fiscal year (such lesser amount referred to as the “Carry-Over Amount”) may be carried forward to the next succeeding fiscal year (the “Succeeding Fiscal Year”); provided further, that the Carry-Over Amount applicable to a particular Succeeding Fiscal Year may not be used in that fiscal year until the amount permitted

Section 4.24. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.
 
The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on the Notes as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.
 
(a) If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) above) shall occur and be continuing with respect to this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Notes) and upon any such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately.  Any accrued and unpaid interest then due and payable shall be paid in cash only.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) above occurs and is continuing, then all the Notes shall ipso facto become due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date the Notes become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes. Thereupon, the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders of Notes by appropriate judicial proceedings.
 

 
- 94 -

 

In addition to acceleration of maturity of the Notes, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will have the right to exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral, such as foreclosure, as are available under this Indenture, the Security Documents and at law.
 
(b) After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
 
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (B) all overdue interest on all Notes then outstanding, (C) the principal of, and premium, if any, on any Notes then outstanding which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes and (D) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes;
 
(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
 
(3) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.
 
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
(c) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Pari Passu Indebtedness specified in Section 6.01(5) above, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders of any Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(5) have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of such declaration and if (i) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.
 
(d) The Company is required to notify the Trustee within five Business Days of the occurrence of any Default. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter and not more than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement as to compliance with this Indenture, including whether or not any Default has occurred. The Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless such Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred thereby.
 

 
- 95 -

 

(e) In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of this Indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs during any time that the Notes are outstanding, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the premium payable upon optional redemption of the Notes, then the premium specified in this Indenture shall also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.
 
Section 6.03. Other Remedies.
 
(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may (subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement) pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including any default interest) on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
 
(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
 
Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
 
The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default (1) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of Notes affected) or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment.  To the extent permitted by the TIA, the consent, waiver, direction or vote of Holders which are also Affiliates of the Company (but excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 6.04 shall not be disregarded.  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.
 
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may (subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  To the extent permitted by the TIA, the consent, waiver, direction or vote of Holders which are also Affiliates of the Company (but excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 6.05 shall not be disregarded. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Subordination Agreement or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.  This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA and such 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
 
Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

(3) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction;
 
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 15 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(b) A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
 
Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall
 

 
- 97 -

 

not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder, except that no Holder shall have the right to institute any such suit, if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would under applicable law result in the surrender, impairment, waiver, or loss of the Liens of the Security Documents upon any property or assets subject to the Liens.
 
Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
 
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) above occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 10.04. Release of Collateral.
 
(a) The Trustee shall not at any time release Collateral from the Second Priority Liens created by this Indenture and the Security Documents unless such release is in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents.
 
(b) Collateral may be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time, and the Security Documents may be terminated, in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents or in accordance with this Indenture.  In addition, upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met, the Trustee will release Collateral that is sold, conveyed, or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture.

The release of any Collateral from the terms hereof and of the Security Documents or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens created by the Security Documents, or the termination of the Security Documents, will not be deemed to impair the Liens on the Collateral in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent that the Liens on Collateral are released, or the Security Documents are terminated, pursuant to this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents. The Trustee and each of the Holders acknowledge that a release of Collateral or a Lien in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the Lien on the Collateral in contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and each obligor on the Notes shall cause Section 314(d) of the TIA relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien hereof and of the Security Documents to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the TIA may be made by an officer of the Company, except in cases which Section 314(d) of the TIA requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent person. In releasing any Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or any Security Document, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such release is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement and that all conditions precedent, if any, to such release have been satisfied.

(4) to the extent required by the Subordination Agreement, upon any release of a First Priority Lien thereon by the Senior Agent or as otherwise directed by the Senior Agent; provided, however, that if there is reinstated a Lien securing obligations under the Credit Agreement on any or all of the Collateral upon which the Second Priority Lien securing Note Obligations has been released pursuant to this clause (4) then, the Second Priority Lien securing the Note Obligations on such Collateral will also be deemed reinstated; and
 
(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Guarantors, at the Company’s and Guarantors’ expense, all documents that such parties shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee.

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith or other transferee of any Collateral purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority (if any) of the Trustee to direct the Collateral Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any Collateral permitted to be sold, disposed of or transferred by this Article Ten, be under obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, to make any such sale or other transfer.
 
Section 10.07. Actions by the Trustee.
 
Subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents and Article Six, the Trustee shall have the power, but without any obligation to exercise such power, to take in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and (ii) to collect and receive all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company and any Guarantors under the Security Documents and this Indenture. The Trustee shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient in order to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any act that may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or the Security Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the

Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral and in the principal, interest, issues, profits, rents, revenues and other income arising therefrom, including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents, or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee. No duty beyond that set forth in Section 7.01 is imposed on the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.07. All items to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Article Ten shall also be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Guarantees
 
Section 11.01. Guarantee.
 
(a)  Subject to this Article Eleven, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, guarantees, on a senior secured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
 
(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against either of the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against either of the Company, protest, notice and all demands

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either of the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
 
(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.
 
(e) The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee pursuant to this Article Eleven shall rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor.
 
Section 11.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
 
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Article Eleven, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Until such time as the Notes are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including any such right arising under federal Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven.

Section 13.14. Acts of Holders.
 
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing, and may be given or obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, outstanding Notes; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section 13.14.
 
(b) Without limiting the generality of this Section 13.14, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture: (i) a Holder, including a Depositary or its nominee that is a Holder of a Global Note, may give, make or take, by an agent or agents duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders, and a Depositary or its nominee that is a Holder of a Global Note may duly appoint in writing as its agent or agent members of, or participants in, such Depositary holding interests in such Global Note in the records of such Depositary; and (ii) with respect to any Global Note the Depositary for which is DTC, any consent or other action given, made or taken by an Agent Member of DTC by electronic means in accordance with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by, DTC shall be deemed to constitute the “Act” of the Holder of such Global Note, and such “Act” shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company and the Trustee upon the delivery by DTC of an “agent’s message” or other notice of such consent or other action having been so given, made or taken in accordance with the customary procedures of DTC.
 
(c) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such witness, notary or officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than
 

 
- 130 -

 

his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.15, the principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Holder, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.
 
(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of the Notes any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at their option, by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders forwarded to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the then outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.
 
(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration or transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
 
(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so itself with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.
 
(h) For purposes of this Indenture, any action by the Holders which may be taken in writing may be taken by electronic means or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTORS, THE TRUSTEE, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, THE NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS INDENTURE.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
 
1.  Interest.  The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 15% per annum solely in cash from the date hereof until maturity, provided, however, that that, if with respect to any Interest Payment Date that occurs prior to Maturity of any Notes, the Company has duly elected pursuant to Section 4.01(c) of the Indenture not to pay the entire installment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash; and if (but only if) the Company pays on such Interest Payment Date the entire installment of interest on such designated Notes due on such Interest Payment Date, the portion of such installment equal to the PIK Interest Amount with respect to such Interest Payment Date (i.e., the designated portion equal to up to one-third of the aggregate amount thereof) shall be payable by issuance of PIK Notes in accordance with Section 2.02(a) of the Indenture and the remainder of such installment shall be payable in cash.  The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on [_____________] and [_____________] of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance (or, if this Note was originally issued after the Issue Date as an Additional Note, from the date of original issue of this Note); provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be [________], 2011.  The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, in cash from time to time on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period.
 
2.  Method of Payment.  The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest, if any) to the Persons in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the [_____________] or [_____________] immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately
 

 
A1-6
