person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an
Indemnified Party
), against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under
the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any
part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final
Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim,
damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such
Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the
enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such
documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information
described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b)
Indemnification of the Company
. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, each of their
respective directors and each of their respective officers who signs a Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an
Underwriter Indemnified
14
Party
), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such
Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other
Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of
the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final
Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or

in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified
Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such
Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based
upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such
information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the
Statutory Prospectus and Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the
sentences related to concessions and reallowances, and the two paragraphs related to
stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids.
(c)
Actions against Parties; Notification
. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it
has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)
by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise
than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with
the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are
the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an
admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified
party.
(d)
Contribution
. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above,
then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
on
15
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors bear to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or the
Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding
the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the
amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are
several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section 8(d).
9.
Default of Underwriters
. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations
to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of
Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase
does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are
obligated to purchase on the Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory
to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the
Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder,
to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase
on the Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal
amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of
the total principal amount of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on
the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the
purchase of the Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such
default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term
Underwriter includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein
will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
10.
Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations
. The respective indemnities,

necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final

Indemnification of the Underwriters
. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiaries jointly and severally will indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each
person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an
Indemnified Party
), against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under
the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any
part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final
Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim,
damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such
Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the
enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the Company and the
14
Subsidiaries will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information
furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b)
Indemnification of the Company
. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Subsidiaries, each of their respective
directors and each of their respective officers who signs a Registration Statement and each
person, if any, who controls the Company or any Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an
Underwriter Indemnified Party
),
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter
Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or
state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the
Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final
Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified
Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such
Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based
upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such
information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the
Statutory Prospectus and Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the
sentences related to concessions and reallowances, and the two paragraphs related to
stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids.
(c)
Actions against Parties; Notification
. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it
has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)
by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise
than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with
the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are
the subject matter of such action
15
and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.
(d)
Contribution
. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above,
then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the
Subsidiaries on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company and the Subsidiaries bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or any Subsidiary or the Underwriters and the parties
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this
subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim
which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed
to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to
their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company, the Subsidiaries and
the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d).
9.
Default of Underwriters
. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations
to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First or any Optional Closing Date and the
aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered
Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the
Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered
Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are
made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in
proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such
defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or
Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to
which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered
Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements
satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by
other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate
without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided
in Section 10 (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the
First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional
Securities purchased prior to such termination). As
16
used in this Agreement, the term Underwriter includes any person substituted for an
Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.
10.
Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations
. The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Subsidiaries or
their respective officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to
the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company, the Subsidiaries, or any
of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If the purchase of the Offered
Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company will reimburse the
Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, and the
respective obligations of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8
hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Offered Securities have been purchased
hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5
shall also remain in effect.
11.

14.
Counterparts

which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same Agreement.
15.
Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.
The Company and the Subsidiaries acknowledge and
agree that:
(a)
No Other Relationship
. The Representatives have been retained solely to act as
underwriters in connection with the sale of Offered Securities and that no fiduciary,
advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one hand
and the Representatives on the other hand has been created in respect of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of
whether the Representatives have advised or are advising the Company and the Subsidiaries
on other matters;
(b)
Arms Length Negotiations

Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations
with the Representatives and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and
understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;
(c)
Absence of Obligation to Disclose
. The Company and the Subsidiaries have been
advised that the Representatives and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of
transactions
17
which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Subsidiaries
and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions
to the Company and the Subsidiaries by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship; and
(d)
Waiver
. The Company and the Subsidiaries waive, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any claims they may have against the Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty
or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Representatives shall have no
liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of such
a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in
right of the Company or any Subsidiary, including stockholders, employees or creditors of
the Company.
16.
Applicable Law
. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.
The Company and each Subsidiary hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal

Section 104.
Acts of Holders; Record Dates.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in

person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; 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. The Trustee shall promptly
deliver to the Company copies of all such instrument or instruments and records delivered to the
Trustee. 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 (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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 him or her the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her 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.
The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
Security issued upon the registration of 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 Security.
The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, vote, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken
by Holders of Securities of such series;
provided
that
the Company may not set
9
a
record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving
or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant
action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided
further
that
no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior
to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense,
shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.
The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of
Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to
institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section
512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether
or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided
that
no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record
date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph
(whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be
canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective
any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Companys expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing
and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.
With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such
record dates may designate any day as the
Expiration Date
and from time to time may change the
Expiration Date to any earlier or later day;
provided
that
no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section
106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record
date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the
Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as
provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than
the 180th day after the applicable record date.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with
regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount
of such Security 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.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or

provided
that
oral confirmation of receipt shall have been
received) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest
date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.
In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with
the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of [the
entire indebtedness of this Security] [or] [certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default
with respect to this Security] [, in each case] upon compliance with certain conditions set forth

[If the Security is convertible into Common Stock of the Company, insert
Subject to the
provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at its option, at any time on
or prior to Maturity (except that, in case this Security or any portion hereof shall be called for
redemption, such right shall terminate with respect to this Security or portion hereof, as the case
may be, so called for redemption at the close of business on the first Business Day next preceding
the date fixed for redemption as provided in the Indenture unless the Company defaults in making
the payment due upon redemption), to convert the principal amount of this Security (or any portion
hereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), into fully paid and non-assessable shares
(calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of the Common Stock of the
Company, as said shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion, at the conversion price of
$
principal amount of Securities for each share of Common Stock, or at the adjusted
conversion price in effect at the date of conversion determined as provided in the Indenture, upon
surrender of this Security, together with the conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the
Company at the designated office or agency of the Company in
, accompanied (if so
required by the Company) by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and to the
Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney in writing. Such surrender
shall, if made during any period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and
ending at the opening of business on the Interest Payment Date next following such Regular Record
Date (unless this Security or the portion being converted shall have been called for redemption on
a Redemption Date during the period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and
ending at the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the second such Business
Day), also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the
interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being
converted. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for payment and, in the case of a conversion after
the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or before such Interest
Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of this Security (or any Predecessor Security) of record
at such Regular Record Date to receive an installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided
in the Indenture), no adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued hereon or for
dividends on shares of Common Stock issued on conversion. The Company is not required to issue
fractional shares upon any such conversion, but shall make adjustment therefor in cash on the basis
of the current market value of such fractional interest as provided in the Indenture. The
conversion price is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture
provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the
sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended,
17
without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then outstanding,
will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified
above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the
consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale
(assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and received per
share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of non-electing shares). In the event
of conversion of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unconverted
portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]
[If the Security is convertible into other securities of the Company, provides for adjustments
to the conversion rate or provides for other means to settle conversion, specify the conversion
features.]
[If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert
If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture.]
[If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert
If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to
insert formula for determining the
amount
. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of
interest on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Companys obligations in respect
of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the Securities of this
series shall terminate.]
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of
each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days
after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal
hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
18
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in

25
If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of
the Officers Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.
Section 302.
Denominations.
The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and
only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of
any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of
such series shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof.
Section 303.
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of
Directors, its principal financial officer, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of
its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer or its Assistant Treasurer, attested by its Secretary or one of
its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual
or facsimile.
The Guarantee endorsed on any Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by its
Chairman of the Board of Directors, its principal financial officer, its Chief Executive Officer,
its President or one of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer or its Assistant Treasurer, attested by
its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the
Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.
Securities or the Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall bind the
Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company and, if applicable, having
endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed as provided in Section 1502 to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order (which may provide that Securities
that are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee from time to time
upon the telephonic or written order of Persons designated in said Company Order and that such
Persons are authorized to determine such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified
in the Company Order) shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the
Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive,
and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, a copy of such
Board Resolution, the Officers Certificate setting forth the terms of the series and an Opinion of
Counsel, with such Opinion of Counsel stating,
(1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board
Resolutions as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;
26
(2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board
Resolutions as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;
(3) that this Indenture and such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company, and, if applicable, the Guarantees endorsed thereon will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Guarantors, in each case enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors
rights and to general equity principles; and
(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the
Company of such Securities have been complied with.
However, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustees own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver the Officers Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order
and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee
by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to
the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 304.
Temporary Securities.
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.
27
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities
of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or
more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such
series and tenor.
Section 305.
Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place
of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the
Security Register
) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee initially is hereby
appointed Security Registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of
Securities as herein provided. The Company may change any Security Registrar without prior notice
to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Security Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount, and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantors.
At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of
the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, and having
endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
All Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon, shall be the valid obligations of the
Company and the Guarantors, respectively evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.
28
If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in
part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part.
The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities:
(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the
name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and
delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such
Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be
exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global
Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the
Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to
such Global Security or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or
in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section
301.
(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities
may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global
Security shall direct.
(4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to
this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and
delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is
registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
nominee thereof.
Section 306.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and
having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantors, if applicable.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and
29
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and
having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantors, if applicable.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay
such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.
Every new Security of any series and the Guarantee endorsed thereon, issued pursuant to this
Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities.
Section 307.
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
Except as otherwise provided in or as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series
of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest;
provided
that
on the maturity date for any series of Securities,
the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest to the Person to whom the Company pays the
principal amount, instead of the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date.
In the case of Securities represented by a Global Security registered in the name of or held
by a Depository or its nominee, unless otherwise specified by Section 301, payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be made to the Depository or its nominee, as the case
may be, as the registered owner or Holder of such Global Security. None of the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Security Registrant
for such Securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of a beneficial ownership interest in a Global Security or
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
Defaulted Interest
) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
30
proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed
payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which
shall be not more than 15 days and not fewer than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not fewer than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date
and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each
Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not fewer than
10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any
series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.
Subject to the provisions of Section 1402, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof)
which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or premium, if any, on) which shall become
due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise prior to
such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall
be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion and such interest (whether
or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Security (or any one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such
Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence
or in Section 1402, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which is converted, interest
whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security (or such part thereof) shall
not be payable.
Section 308.
Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none
of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
In the case of a Global Security, so long as the Depository for such Global Security, or its
nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depository or such nominee, as the
case may be, will be considered
31
the sole owner or Holder of the Securities represented by such Global Security for all
purposes under this Indenture. Except as provided in Section 305, owners of beneficial interests in
a Global Security will not be entitled to have Securities that are represented by such Global
Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of
such Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under
this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall (a)
prevent the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or
the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by a Depository or (b) impair, as between a Depository and holders of beneficial interest
in any Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights
of the Depository as Holder of such Global Security.
None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent or
the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in a Global Security or
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interest.
Section 309.
Cancellation.
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the
Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with its customary procedures.
Section 310.
Computation of Interest.
Except as otherwise specified in or as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any
series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Section 311.
CUSIP Numbers.
The Company 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
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 Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP
numbers.

Section 502.
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 501(5) or 501(6)
solely with respect to the Company (but including an Event of Default referred to in those Sections
solely with respect to any Significant Subsidiary of the Company), with respect to Securities of
any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then either the Trustee, by notice to
the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series, by notice to the Trustee and the Company, may declare the principal amount of, and
accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such
Securities as may be
35
specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) solely with respect to the Company (and not solely
with respect to any Significant Subsidiary of the Company) and with respect to Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of (or, if any Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such
Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof), and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the
Securities of that series shall automatically, and without any action by the Trustee or any Holder,
become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first 180 days following any violation of any
obligations the Company may be deemed to have pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture
Act or the Companys other reporting and information delivery obligations with respect to filings
with the Commission as provided in Section 704, at the Companys option, the sole remedy of the
Holders of the Securities shall be the accrual of additional interest on the Securities while such
Default exists at a rate of 0.25% per annum, payable semi-annually. In no event shall such
additional interest accrue at a rate per annum in excess of 0.25% per annum, regardless of the
number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such additional interest.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series
has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Trustee, as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the rescission would not conflict with any order or decree;
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
non-payment of accelerated principal of or interest on Securities of that series, which have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided
in Section 513; and
(3) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series;
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series
which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any
interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, to the
extent that payment is lawful;
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
36
Section 503.
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The Company covenants that if:
(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest
becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof;
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium
and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities and
collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the
property of the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever
situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein,
or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Section 504.
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In any case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other any judicial proceeding relative to
the Company (or any Guarantor or other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors,
the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the
Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be
authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.
No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the
37
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 505.
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof
in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 506.
Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on
account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;
SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have
been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest, if
any, on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments
of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by such
Trustee and to the extent permitted by law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate
prescribed therefor in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled
thereto, without discrimination or preference;
THIRD: In case the principal or any premium of the Securities of such series in respect of
which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the
payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for
principal, any premium and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the
extent that such interest has been collected by such Trustee and to the extent permitted by law)
upon overdue installments of interest at the rate prescribed therefor in the Securities of such
series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and
unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal, any premium and
interest, without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal,
or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of
such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and
accrued and unpaid interest; and
FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons lawfully entitled
thereto.

Section 507.
Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding under
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this
Indenture, unless each of the following shall have occurred:
(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event
of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy and offer, and if
requested provide, to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with such pursuit; and
(3) the Trustee fails to comply with such request within 60 days after the Trustee
receives the notice, request and offer of indemnity and does not receive, during those 60
days, from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of
such series, a direction inconsistent with such request.
However, the above limitations do not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce (a) the payment
of amounts due on that Holders Securities after the applicable due date or (b) the right to
convert that Holders Securities in accordance with this Indenture.
Section 508.
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest and
to Convert.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert such
Securities in accordance with Article Fourteen and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 509.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has
been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to
any determination in such proceeding, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all
rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.
39
Section 510.
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.
Section 511.
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right
or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall 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 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 (subject to the limitations contained in this
Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 512.
Control by Holders.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with
respect to the Securities of such series;
provided
that
:
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture
and the Trustee shall not have determined that the action so directed would be unjustly
prejudicial to Holders of Securities of that series, or any other series, not taking part in
such direction; and
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture.
Section 513.
Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past
default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:
(1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of
such series or the payment of any redemption price, purchase price or repurchase price with
respect to any Security of such series;
(2) arising from the Companys failure to convert any Security in accordance with this
Indenture; or
40
(3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such
series affected.
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 514.
Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance
thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed that any court may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party
litigant in such suit, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act;
provided
that
neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit
instituted by the Company or in any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security
in accordance with Article Fourteen or in any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder or group of Holders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal
of, or any premium or interest on, any Security on or after the due date for such payment.
Section 515.
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will
not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
ARTICLE SIX
THE TRUSTEE
Section 601.
Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as expressly set forth in this
Indenture and as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision
of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, 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. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, subject to Section 603.
41
Section 602.
Notice of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and the Trustee has received notice of the
Default or Event of Default in accordance with this Indenture, the Trustee must mail to each Holder
a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence of the Event of
Default. However, the Trustee need not mail the notice if the Default or Event of Default (a) has
been cured or waived; or (b) is not in the payment of any amounts due with respect to any Security
or the failure to convert any Security in accordance with the Indenture and the Trustee in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the best interests of Holders. In addition, the
Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such Default or Event of
Default actually known to it as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act.
Section 603.
Certain Rights of Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 601:
(1) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any

consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers Certificate;
(4) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon;

vested in it by this Indenture at the request, direction or demand of any of the Holders

or indemnity that is
reasonably
satisfactory
to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such

taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
(9) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default
unless a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written

Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture;

Section 604.
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustees certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent assumes any
43
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity,
sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee represents
that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and
perform its obligations hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate as of the date
thereof. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.
Section 605.
May Hold Securities and Act as Trustee Under Other Indentures.
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar
or such other agent.
Subject to the limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in this Indenture shall
prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee under other indentures under which other
securities, or certificates of interest of participation in other securities, of the Company are
outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee hereunder.
Section 606.
Money Held in Trust.
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraphs of Sections 1003 and 1305, all money received
by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes
for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it
hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
Section 607.
Compensation and Reimbursement.
The Company agrees:
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in
writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful
misconduct; and
(3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss,
liability, damage, claim (including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the
Trustee)) or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
44
any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Guarantor, a Holder or any other Person)
or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law.
The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all property and funds held by it
hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except
with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
Section 608.
Conflicting Interests
.
If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest within 90 days or resign, to the
extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and
this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities
of more than one series.
Section 609.
Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.
There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of each series, which may be the Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other
series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act
as such and has (or if the Trustee is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding
company has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and shall be subject to
supervision or examination by a Federal or State authority. If any such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any
time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
Section 610.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.
The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
45
Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.
The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the
Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.
If at any time:
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by
the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months,
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or
(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall
occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series,
the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with
respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and
that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular
series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the
manner required by Section 611, the retiring Trustee may petition, or any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.
The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series to all
46
Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office.
Section 611.
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and
to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain
such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.
Upon the reasonable written request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph,
as the case may be.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
Section 612.
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
47
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to
such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities.
Section 613.
Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).
Section 614.
Appointment of Authenticating Agent.
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series
of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 305, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustees certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws
to act as Authenticating Agent, having (or if the Authenticating Agent is a member of a bank
holding company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of not less
than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any
time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of
the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its
48
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No
successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section.
The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 614, the
Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustees certificate of
authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the
within-mentioned Indenture.

requirements of Sections 611 and 901(8);
(4) if applicable, make any change that adversely affects the right to convert any

amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may, by notice to the Trustee, waive compliance
by the Company or the Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture or such Securities, in a
particular instance or generally, without notice to any other Holder;
provided
that
no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company or
the Guarantors and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition
shall remain in full force and effect.
A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this
Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this

rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold all sums

any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series; and
(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,

the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for a period ending on the earlier of the date that is ten Business
Days prior to the date such money would escheat to the State or two years after such principal (and
premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
57
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

under the Indenture or the Securities and describing any such Default or Event of Default.

provided
,
however
, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment or charge (i) whose amount, applicability or validity is being

not have a material adverse effect on the assets, business, operations, properties or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
Section 1007.

The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a

periods), if any, accrued on Outstanding Securities 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

ARTICLE ELEVEN
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES
Section 1101.
Applicability of Article.
Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable
in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301
for such Securities) in accordance with this Article.
58
Section 1102.
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.
The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.
In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of any series (including
any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 40 days (or 45
days if fewer than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed) prior to the Redemption
Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify
the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be
redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in
the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee
with an Officers Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.
Section 1103.
Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.
If fewer than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities
of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a
single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by lot, or in the Trustees discretion, on a pro-rata basis or by
such other method as the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate,
provided
that
the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination
(which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If fewer than
all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such
redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance
with the preceding sentence.
If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of
such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be), at the option of the Company, to be the portion
selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to
be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as
aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
The provisions of the three preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in
part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of
the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination) for such Security.
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been
or is to be redeemed.
59
Section 1104.
Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not fewer
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in
the Securities to be redeemed, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address
appearing in the Security Register.
Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Registered Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice
of any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Securities or portion thereof.
Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder
receives the notice.
All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP
number(s)) and shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price (including accrued interest, if any);
(3) if fewer than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than
a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial
redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be
redeemed and, if fewer than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a
single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be
redeemed;
(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to
accrue on and after said date;
(5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of
the Redemption Price;
(6) if applicable, the conversion price, that the date on which the right to convert
the principal of the Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will terminate will
be the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date and the place or places where such
Securities may be surrendered for conversion;
(7) in case any Securities are to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to
such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such
Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or
Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining
unredeemed; and
(8) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.
60
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Companys request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company and shall be irrevocable.
Section 1105.
Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.
If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall
(subject to the right of any Holder of such Security to receive interest as provided in the last
paragraph of Section 307) be paid to the Company on Company Request, or if then held by the
Company, shall be discharged from such trust.
Section 1106.
Securities Payable on Redemption Date.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued and unpaid interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date;
provided
,
however
, that, unless otherwise specified in or as contemplated by
Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date
will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date
at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.
Section 1107.
Securities Redeemed in Part.
Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of the same series, having endorsed thereon the Guarantee executed by the
Guarantors and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depositary or other Depositary
for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to
the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so surrendered.

sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.
Section 1203.

will deliver to the Trustee an Officers Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing

scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their
terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an
amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a

the principal of and any premium and interest on Outstanding Securities of such series on
the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
Securities. As used herein, U.S. Government Obligation means (x) any security which is (i)
a direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith
and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person
controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States

depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on
any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held;
provided

amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the
custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal

series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this
instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case
(A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit,
Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.
(3) In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any
series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such
series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same
times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.
(4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate to the
effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series, if then
listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit.
(5) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and
be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in
Sections 501(5) and (6), at any time on or prior
64
to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).
(6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities
are in default within the meaning of such Act).
(7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to
which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.
(8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from
such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration
thereunder.
(9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
Section 1305.
Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust;
Miscellaneous Provisions.
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee
(solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are
referred to collectively as the
Trustee
) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any 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 such Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own 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 and any
premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.
Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company and any Paying Agent upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held
by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would
then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may
be, with respect to such Securities.
65
Section 1306.
Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this
Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Companys obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been
discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time
as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section
1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article;
provided
,
however
, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest
on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from
the money so held in trust.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
Section 1401.
Applicability of Article.
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are
convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock of the Company, and the issuance of such
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion or exchange of such Securities, except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of such series.
Section 1402.
Exercise of Conversion and Exchange Privilege.
In order to exercise a conversion or exchange privilege, the Holder of a Security of a series
with such a privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company at the office or agency
maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002, accompanied by a duly executed conversion or
exchange notice to the Company substantially in the form set forth in Section 206 stating that the
Holder elects to convert or exchange such Security or a specified portion thereof. Such notice
shall also state, if different from the name and address of such Holder, the name or names (with
address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be
issuable on such conversion or exchange shall be issued. Securities surrendered for conversion or
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by or accompanied by
instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the
registered Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and Securities so surrendered for
conversion or exchange (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any
Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date
(excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during the period beginning at the
close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending at the opening of business on the first
Business Day after the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is
not a Business Day, the second such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date
on the principal amount of such Security then being converted or exchanged, and such interest shall
be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion or exchange of such Security,
subject to the provisions of Section 307 relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by the
Company. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and of any payment required
pursuant to a Board Resolution and, subject to Section 303, set forth, or determined in the manner
provided, in an Officers Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto
setting forth the terms of such series of Security, and the surrender of such Security in
accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall issue
and shall deliver, at the office or agency at which such Security is surrendered, to such Holder or
on its written
66
order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion or exchange of such Security (or specified portion thereof), in accordance with
the provisions of such Board Resolution, Officers Certificate or supplemental indenture, and cash
as provided therein in respect of any fractional share of such Common Stock otherwise issuable upon
such conversion or exchange. Such conversion or exchange shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such notice and such payment, if
required, shall have been received in proper order for conversion or exchange by the Company and
such Security shall have been surrendered as aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so
surrendered such Security and shall have instructed the Company to effect the conversion or
exchange on a particular date following such surrender and such Holder shall be entitled to convert
or exchange such Security on such date, in which case such conversion or exchange shall be deemed
to be effected immediately prior to the close of business on such date) and at such time the rights
of the Holder of such Security as such Security Holder shall cease and the person or persons in
whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
be issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders
of record of the shares represented thereby. Except as set forth above and subject to the final
paragraph of Section 307, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion or exchange on
account of any interest accrued on the Securities (or any part thereof) surrendered for conversion
or exchange or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock of the Company issued upon such
conversion or exchange.
In the case of any Security which is converted or exchanged in part only, upon such conversion
or exchange the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the
order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the
same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted or
unexchanged portion of such Security.
Section 1403.
No Fractional Shares.
No fractional share of Common Stock of the Company shall be issued upon conversions or
exchanges of Securities of any series. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for
conversion or exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be
issuable upon conversion or exchange shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so
surrendered. If, except for the provisions of this Section 1403, any Holder of a Security or
Securities would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock of the Company upon the
conversion or exchange of such Security or Securities, or specified portions thereof, the Company
shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to the current market value of such fractional
share computed (unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities), (i) if such
Common Stock is listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange
or market, on the basis of the last reported sale price regular way on such exchange or market on
the last trading day prior to the date of conversion or exchange upon which such a sale shall have
been effected, or (ii) if such Common Stock is not at the time so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of the average of the
bid and asked prices of such Common Stock in the over-the counter market, on the last trading day
prior to the date of conversion or exchange, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau,
Incorporated or similar organization if the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated is no longer
reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market price as determined by the
Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section, trading day shall mean each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday other than any day on which the Common Stock is not traded on the
New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, on
the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted.
Section 1404.
Adjustment of Conversion and Exchange Price.
The conversion or exchange price of Securities of any series that is convertible or
exchangeable into Common Stock of the Company shall be adjusted for any stock dividends, stock
splits, reclassifications,
67
combinations or similar transactions in accordance with the terms of the supplemental
indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series.
Whenever the conversion or exchange price is adjusted, the Company shall compute the adjusted
conversion or exchange price in accordance with terms of the applicable Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture and shall prepare an Officers Certificate setting forth the adjusted
conversion or exchange price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment
is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for the
purpose of conversion or exchange of Securities pursuant to Section 1002 and, if different, with
the Trustee. The Company shall forthwith cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion or
exchange price to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at its address appearing on the Security Register and to any conversion or exchange agent
other than the Trustee.
Section 1405.
Notice of Certain Corporate Actions.
In case:
(1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common
Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings (other than a dividend for
which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an
adjustment pursuant to Section 1404; or
(2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders
of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any other rights (other than any such grant for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company is required); or
(3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or of any
consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company is required), or of the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company; then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall cause to be
mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register,
at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in Clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the
applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or
warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common
Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants
are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. If at any time the Trustee shall not be the
conversion or exchange agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the
Company with the Trustee.
68
Section 1406.
Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion or exchange
of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of all outstanding Securities of any series that has conversion or exchange
rights.
Section 1407.
Payment of Certain Taxes Upon Conversion and Exchange.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes that may be
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of its Common Stock on conversion or exchange
of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common
Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted or
exchanged, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction
of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
Section 1408.
Nonassessability.
The Company covenants that all shares of its Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion
or exchange of Securities will upon issue in accordance with the terms hereof be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
Section 1409.
Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.
In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person in a
transaction in which the Company is not the surviving Person, any merger of another Person with or
into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance,
sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company in a
single transaction or a series of related transactions, the Person formed by such consolidation or
resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security of a
series then Outstanding that is convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock of the Company shall
have the right thereafter (which right shall be the exclusive conversion or exchange right
thereafter available to said Holder), during the period such Security shall be convertible or
exchangeable, to convert or exchange such Security only into the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security
might have been converted or exchanged immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a Person
with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with the Company
or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a
Constituent
Person
), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of
election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (
provided
that
if
the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the
Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease
by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of
election shall not have been exercised (
Non-electing Share
), then for the purpose of this Section
1409 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger,
69
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be deemed
to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such
supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective
date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article or in accordance with the terms of the supplemental
indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of such adjustments. The above provisions of
this Section 1409 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales,
transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the
Company to the Holder of each Security of a series that is convertible or exchangeable into Common
Stock of the Company as provided in Section 106 promptly upon such execution.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion or exchange agent, if any, shall be under any
responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental
indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
or cash receivable by Holders of Securities of a series convertible or exchangeable into Common
Stock of the Company upon the conversion or exchange of their Securities after any such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be
furnished to the Trustee upon request.
Section 1410.
Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion and Exchange.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion or exchange agent shall at any time be under any duty
or responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any series that is convertible or exchangeable
into Common Stock of the Company to determine whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the conversion or exchange price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental
indenture (or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct), any resolutions of
the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more officers of the Company
provided to be employed in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion or exchange
agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any
shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be
issued or delivered upon the conversion or exchange of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor
any conversion or exchange agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Subject to the
provisions of Section 601, neither the Trustee nor any conversion or exchange agent shall be
responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of its Common
Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for
the purpose of conversion or exchange or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company
contained in this Article Fourteen or in the applicable supplemental indenture, resolutions of the
Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more duly authorized officers of the
Company.
Section 1411.
Repayment of Certain Funds Upon Conversion and Exchange.
Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the
Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on any of the Securities (including, but not limited to, funds deposited for
the sinking fund referred to in Article Twelve hereof and funds deposited pursuant to Article
Thirteen hereof) and which shall not be required for such purposes because of the conversion or
exchange of such Securities as provided in this Article Fourteen shall after such conversion or
exchange be repaid to the Company by the Trustee upon the Companys written request.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN
GUARANTEE
Section 1501.
Unconditional Guarantee.
(1) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article Fifteen to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article Fifteen shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the
benefit of, the Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 301, as entitled to
the benefits of the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors.
(2) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, fully,
unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the
Guarantee
) to the Holders and to the
Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the
Securities by the Company, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall
become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration,
call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and this
Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1503.
(3) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee, for
whatever reason, each of the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the
same immediately. The Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior
obligation of each of the Guarantors and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all
Debt of each Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment
to the Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities, the Guarantee (including the Guarantee of any other
Guarantor) or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof,
the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor, or any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of any of the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby
agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of
acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the
Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 507, by the Holders, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Guarantor to enforce the
Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor.
(4) The obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Article Fifteen shall be as
aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or
limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including (i) any compromise, settlement,
release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of
the obligations and liabilities of the Company or any of the Guarantors contained in the
Securities or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of
the liability of the Company, any of the Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy,
or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or
future provision of any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar law, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or
exercise by the Company, any of the Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies
under the Securities or this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise
any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property
as security for the Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or
any of the Guarantors under this Indenture, (v) the extension of the time for payment by the
Company or any of the Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or
payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Securities or this Indenture or of the
time for performance by the Company or any of
71
the Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and
provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification or
amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the
Company or any of the Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (vii) the voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or
readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or any of the Guarantors
or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Securities, the Guarantee or
this Indenture in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Company or any
of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or
condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the
unenforceability of the Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture or (x) any other
circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to
the Guarantee) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety
or guarantor.
(5) Each of the Guarantors hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company or any of the Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (ii)
acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee may be
transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of
any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and
(iii) covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of
the Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of
any payment theretofore applied by any Person to the Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or
returned for any reason whatsoever, including the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of the Company or any of the Guarantors, the Guarantee shall, to the extent that such
payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence
notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.
(6) Each of the Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the
Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture,
provided
,
however
, that such Guarantor, shall
not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such
right of subrogation until all of the Securities and the Guarantee shall have been paid in
full or discharged.
Section 1502.
Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.
To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 1501, each of the Guarantors hereby
agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of
such Guarantor, or in the case of a Guarantor that is a limited partnership, an officer of the
general partner of each Guarantor, or in the case of a Guarantor that is a limited liability
company, an officer or manager of such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that the
Guarantee set forth in Section 1501 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Security a notation relating to the Guarantee. If any officer of any
Guarantor, or in the case of a Guarantor that is a limited partnership, any officer of the general
partner of the Guarantor, or in the case of a Guarantor that is a limited liability company, an
officer or manager of such Guarantor, whose signature is on this Indenture or a Security no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or at any time thereafter,
the Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Security by the
Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein
set forth.
72
Section 1503.
Limitation on Guarantors Liability.
(1) Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Security entitled to
the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties
that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or State law. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Holders of a Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under the
Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and 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 the Guarantee, not result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the
Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or State
law.
(2) The Guarantee is expressly limited so that in no event, including the acceleration
of the maturity of the Securities, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in respect of
interest on the Securities (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds)
exceed the maximum permissible amount under applicable law, as in effect on the date hereof
and as subsequently amended or modified to allow a greater amount of interest (or fees or
other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) to be paid under the Guarantee. If for
any reason the amount in respect of interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for
the use of funds) required by the Guarantee exceeds such maximum permissible amount, the
obligation to pay interest under the Guarantee (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for
the use of funds) shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount and any
amounts collected by any holder of any Security in excess of the permissible amount shall be
automatically applied to reduce the outstanding principal on such Security.
Section 1504.
Release of Guarantors from Guarantee.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of any
Guarantor may be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
1302 and in this Section 1504. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be
continuing under this Indenture, the Guarantee issued by a Guarantor pursuant to this
Article Fifteen shall be unconditionally released and discharged: (i) automatically upon (A)
any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is

principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may require the Company to repay immediately the
principal of, and any unpaid premium if any, and interest on, all the Notes. The holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may rescind and annul that

No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this
First Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture or for any remedy under this First Supplemental
Indenture or the Indenture unless:
(i) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to the Notes;
(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have
made a written request, and offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to
institute a proceeding as Trustee;
(iii) the Trustee has failed to institute the requested proceeding within 60 calendar
days after receipt of such notice; and
(iv) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with the request during
that 60-day period.
(3) The Holder of any Note will have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, that Note as expressed therein, and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.
23
(4) The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annually within 120 days after the end
of its fiscal year a statement as to the absence of any Event of Default under this First
Supplemental Indenture. Within 30 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee
shall give notice of such Event of Default or of any event which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would become an Event of Default, known to it, to the Holders of the Notes, except that, in

on the terms set forth in the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

(ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.3 and
that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment;
(iii) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment
Date,
which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60

(iv) if the notice is mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of

Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be

amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered;

not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 6.3 by virtue of such conflicts.

repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes such an
offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer
made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not

SECTION 6.4.
Additional Guarantors.
(1) Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Target Companies shall merge into each of NextRx
Sub I, NextRx Sub II and NextRx Sub III and shall become successor guarantors to the NextRx Subs by
executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee. If, after the date of the
Indenture, any Subsidiary of the Company that is not then a Guarantor guarantees, becomes a
borrower or guarantor under, or grants any Lien to secure any obligations pursuant to, the Existing
Credit Facility or the Bridge Loan, any refinancing or replacement thereof or any other
Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of 15% of the Companys
Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the Companys most recent quarter for which financial
statements are available (such Consolidated Net Worth to be measured at the time of the incurrence
of each such guarantee or borrowing or the granting of such Lien), then in any such case such
Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the
Trustee promptly (but in any event, within two Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or
incurred such Indebtedness or granted such Lien, as the case may be).
(2) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Guarantee by a Guarantor that was issued
pursuant to this Section 6.4 solely as a result of its guarantee or incurrence of, or granting of a
Lien in respect of, any such Indebtedness shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon
the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiarys
Guarantee (or upon such Subsidiary ceasing to be a borrower or the release of Liens granted by such
Subsidiary, as the case may be), except a discharge or release as a result of payment under such
guarantee, or of the refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness that is guaranteed or
incurred by such Guarantor.

ARTICLE IX
Guarantors
Article 15 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.
SECTION 9.1.
Guarantee.
(1) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally and fully and
unconditionally guarantees (each a
Guarantee
), 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 First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes or the
obligations of the Company or any other Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be duly and
promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if
any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantor to the Holders of or
36
the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including fees, expenses or others) (collectively, the
Obligations
) will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Obligations (with or without notice to such Guarantor), the 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. If the Company shall fail to pay when due, or to perform,
any Obligations, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay in cash, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same promptly. An Event of Default
under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall entitle the Holders of the Notes to
accelerate the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Obligations of the Company.
(2) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this First Supplemental
Indenture or the 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 of this First Supplemental Indenture, the
Indenture or the Notes, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any
particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(3) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of
the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article IV of this First Supplemental Indenture for the purposes
of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Obligations, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such
Obligations as provided in Article IV of this First Supplemental Indenture, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the
purposes of its Guarantee.
SECTION 9.2.
Waiver.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives diligence,
presentment, demand of, payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes, this First Supplemental Indenture
and Indenture.
SECTION 9.3.
Guarantee of Payment.
Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment,
performance and compliance when due and not a guarantee of
37
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any
Holder of the Notes to the security, if any, held for payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 9.4.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.
Subject to Section 9.10 of this First Supplemental Indenture, the obligations of each of the
Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, termination, impairment or
for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be
subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Trustee or any Holder of the
Notes to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this First Supplemental
Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes, any other guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in
the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission or delay to do any other act
that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).
SECTION 9.5.
Defenses of Company Waived.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on
or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
the Company, other than final payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each of the Guarantors
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates to impair or
to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of each of the
Guarantors against the Company or any security.
SECTION 9.6.
Continued Effectiveness.
Subject to Section 9.10 of this First Supplemental Indenture, each of the Guarantors further
agrees that its Guarantee hereunder 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 Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
SECTION 9.7.
Subrogation.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right of each of the
Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and
38
will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, forthwith pay,
or cause to be paid, to the Holders in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations, and thereupon
the Holders shall, assign (except to the extent that such assignment would render a Guarantor a
creditor of the Company within the meaning of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code
as now in effect or hereafter amended or any comparable provision of any successor statute) the
amount of the Obligations owed to it and paid by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee to such
Guarantor, such assignment to be pro rata to the extent the Obligations in question were discharged
by such Guarantor, or make such other disposition thereof as such Guarantor shall direct (all
without recourse to the Holders, and without any representation or warranty by the Holders). If
(a) a Guarantor shall make payment to the Holders of all or any part of the Obligations and (b) all
the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this First Supplemental Indenture shall be paid
in full, the Trustee will, at such Guarantors request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from such payment by such Guarantor.
SECTION 9.8.
Information.
Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Companys financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each of the
Guarantors assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
will have no duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 9.9.
Subordination.
Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Holders, as provided above, all rights of
such Guarantor against the Company, arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or
otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations to the Trustee;
provided
,
however
, that any right of
subrogation that such Guarantor may have pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture is subject
to Section 9.7 hereof.
SECTION 9.10.
Release of Guarantor.
(1) A Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this First Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder;
provided
that such Guarantor would not, immediately after such release and discharge, be required
to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof if such Guarantor had incurred its
then-existing guarantees, indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases) and Liens at
the time of such release and discharge:
39
(i) upon notice by the Company to the Trustee, at any time such Guarantor is not a
borrower or guarantor under, and has not granted any then-existing Lien to secure any
obligations pursuant to, the Existing Credit Facility as amended, or the Bridge Loan, any
refinancing or replacement thereof (including as a result of any release from such
obligations in connection with being designated an exempt subsidiary by the Company (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) or any other Indebtedness for borrowed money
(including capital leases) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of
15% of the Companys Consolidated Net Worth (other than obligations arising under this
First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the 2014 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2014 Notes and the 2019 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2019 Notes) except where
resulting from a discharge or release as a result of payment under such guarantee;
provided
,
however
, that no Guarantor shall be released under this subsection unless the
Guarantor is substantially concurrently released from its guarantees under the 2014 Notes
Supplemental Indenture and the 2014 Notes and the 2019 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2019 Notes, or such guarantees have previously been terminated or released;
(ii) upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 6.4 hereof, of
which the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee; or
(iii) upon the sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the
equity interests or assets of the Guarantor to another Person (other than to the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates).
(2) A Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all
obligations under this First Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder upon any Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to
the Notes, subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 1306 of the Indenture.
(3) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt
of a request of the Company accompanied by an Officers Certificate certifying as to the compliance
with this Section. Any Guarantor not so released will remain liable for the full amount of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes provided in this First Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee.
SECTION 9.11.
Limitation of Guarantors Liability.
(1) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this First
Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum aggregate amount which,
after giving
40
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 Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this First Supplemental Indenture, will result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(2) The Guarantee is expressly limited so that in no event, including the acceleration of the
maturity of the Securities, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in respect of interest on
the Securities (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) exceed the maximum
permissible amount under applicable law, as in effect on the date hereof and as subsequently
amended or modified to allow a greater amount of interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment
for the use of funds) to be paid under the Guarantee. If for any reason the amount in respect of
interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) required by the Guarantee
exceeds such maximum permissible amount, the obligation to pay interest under the Guarantee (or
fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) shall be automatically reduced to such
maximum permissible amount and any amounts collected by any holder of any Security in excess of the
permissible amount shall be automatically applied to reduce the outstanding principal on such
Security.
SECTION 9.12.

Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to
seek contribution from each other non-paying Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets

in the United States of America as of the date hereof so long as the exercise of such right does
not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.
SECTION 9.13.
No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company.
Neither the Trustee, any Holder nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or
exhaust any rights or remedies or take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or
against the Company or any other Person or any Property of the Company or any other Person before
the Trustee, such Holder or such other Person is entitled to demand payment and performance by any
or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantee.
SECTION 9.14.
Execution and Delivery of the Guarantee.
(1) To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in this Article IX, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form of Section 3.4 hereof shall be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or
facsimile signature of an officer, manager or member, as applicable, of each Guarantor.
41
(2) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article IX
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a
notation of such Guarantee.
(3) If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this First Supplemental Indenture or a
Guarantee no longer holds that office or is no longer a manager or member, as applicable, at the
time the Trustee authenticates such Guarantee or at any time thereafter, such Guarantors Guarantee
of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.
(4) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture on
behalf of each Guarantor.
SECTION 9.15.
Successor Guarantor.
Unless otherwise released and discharged from its obligations in accordance with this First
Supplemental Indenture, upon any consolidation or merger by any Guarantor with or into any other
Person, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or merger shall sign a supplemental
indenture and guarantee and succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Guarantor under this First Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person has been named as a Guarantor herein, and thereafter the
predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture, this

principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may require the Company to repay immediately the
principal of, and any unpaid premium if any, and interest on, all the Notes. The holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may rescind and annul that

the Notes.
No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this
Second Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture or for any remedy under this Second Supplemental
Indenture or the Indenture unless:
(i) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to the Notes;
(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have
made a written request, and offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to
institute a proceeding as Trustee;
(iii) the Trustee has failed to institute the requested proceeding within 60 calendar
days after receipt of such notice; and
(iv) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with the request during
that 60-day period.
(3) The Holder of any Note will have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, that Note as expressed therein, and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.
23
(4) The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annually within 120 days after the end
of its fiscal year a statement as to the absence of any Event of Default under this Second
Supplemental Indenture. Within 30 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee
shall give notice of such Event of Default or of any event which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would become an Event of Default, known to it, to the Holders of the Notes, except that, in

shall be acceptable to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price;
provided
,
however
, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date

in accordance with the notice of redemption (with, if the Company or the Trustee shall so require,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or other appropriate person), and the Company shall

on the terms set forth in the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the
Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Notes, with a written copy to the Trustee, which notice
shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:

Control Triggering Event;
(ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.3 and
that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment;
(iii) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment
Date,
which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60
days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the

); and
(iv) if the notice is mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book-entry) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered;
provided
that each new Note will be in

not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 6.3 by virtue of such conflicts.
(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to
repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes such an
offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer
made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided

SECTION 6.4.
Additional Guarantors.
(1) Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Target Companies shall merge into each of NextRx
Sub I, NextRx Sub II and NextRx Sub III and shall become successor guarantors to the NextRx Subs by
executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee. If, after the date of the
Indenture, any Subsidiary of the Company that is not then a Guarantor guarantees, becomes a
borrower or guarantor under, or grants any Lien to secure any obligations pursuant to, the Existing
Credit Facility or the Bridge Loan, any refinancing or replacement thereof or any other
Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of 15% of the Companys
Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the Companys most recent quarter for which financial
statements are available (such Consolidated Net Worth to be measured at the time of the incurrence
of each such guarantee or borrowing or the granting of such Lien), then in any such case such
Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the
Trustee promptly (but in any event, within two Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or
incurred such Indebtedness or granted such Lien, as the case may be).
(2) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Guarantee by a Guarantor that was issued
pursuant to this Section 6.4 solely as a result of its guarantee or incurrence of, or granting of a
Lien in respect of, any such Indebtedness shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon
the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiarys
Guarantee (or upon such Subsidiary ceasing to be a borrower or the release of Liens granted by such
Subsidiary, as the case may be), except a discharge or release as a result of payment under such
guarantee, or of the refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness that is guaranteed or
incurred by such Guarantor.

ARTICLE IX
Guarantors
Article 15 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.
SECTION 9.1.
Guarantee.
(1) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally and fully and
unconditionally guarantees (each a
Guarantee
), 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 Second Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes or
the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be duly and
promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if
any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantor to the Holders of or
36
the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including fees, expenses or others) (collectively, the
Obligations
) will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Obligations (with or without notice to such Guarantor), the 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. If the Company shall fail to pay when due, or to perform,
any Obligations, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay in cash, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same promptly. An Event of Default
under this Second Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall entitle the Holders of the Notes to
accelerate the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Obligations of the Company.
(2) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Second Supplemental
Indenture or the 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 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the
Indenture or the Notes, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any
particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(3) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of
the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article IV of this Second Supplemental Indenture for the purposes
of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Obligations, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such
Obligations as provided in Article IV of this Second Supplemental Indenture, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the
purposes of its Guarantee.
SECTION 9.2.
Waiver.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives diligence,
presentment, demand of, payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes, this Second Supplemental Indenture
and Indenture.
SECTION 9.3.
Guarantee of Payment.
Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment,
performance and compliance when due and not a guarantee of
37
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any
Holder of the Notes to the security, if any, held for payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 9.4.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.
Subject to Section 9.10 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the obligations of each of the
Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, termination, impairment or
for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be
subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Trustee or any Holder of the
Notes to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Second Supplemental
Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes, any other guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in
the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission or delay to do any other act
that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).
SECTION 9.5.
Defenses of Company Waived.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on
or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
the Company, other than final payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each of the Guarantors
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates to impair or
to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of each of the
Guarantors against the Company or any security.
SECTION 9.6.
Continued Effectiveness.
Subject to Section 9.10 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, each of the Guarantors further
agrees that its Guarantee hereunder 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 Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
SECTION 9.7.
Subrogation.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right of each of the
Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and
38
will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, forthwith pay,
or cause to be paid, to the Holders in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations, and thereupon
the Holders shall, assign (except to the extent that such assignment would render a Guarantor a
creditor of the Company within the meaning of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code
as now in effect or hereafter amended or any comparable provision of any successor statute) the
amount of the Obligations owed to it and paid by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee to such
Guarantor, such assignment to be pro rata to the extent the Obligations in question were discharged
by such Guarantor, or make such other disposition thereof as such Guarantor shall direct (all
without recourse to the Holders, and without any representation or warranty by the Holders). If
(a) a Guarantor shall make payment to the Holders of all or any part of the Obligations and (b) all
the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be
paid in full, the Trustee will, at such Guarantors request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from such payment by such Guarantor.
SECTION 9.8.
Information.
Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Companys financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each of the
Guarantors assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
will have no duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 9.9.
Subordination.
Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Holders, as provided above, all rights of
such Guarantor against the Company, arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or
otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations to the Trustee;
provided
,
however
, that any right of
subrogation that such Guarantor may have pursuant to this Second Supplemental Indenture is subject
to Section 9.7 hereof.
SECTION 9.10.
Release of Guarantor.
(1) A Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Second Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder;
provided
that such Guarantor would not, immediately after such release and discharge, be required
to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof if such Guarantor had incurred its
then-existing guarantees, indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases) and Liens at
the time of such release and discharge:
39
(i) upon notice by the Company to the Trustee, at any time such Guarantor is not a
borrower or guarantor under, and has not granted any then-existing Lien to secure any
obligations pursuant to, the Existing Credit Facility as amended, or the Bridge Loan, any
refinancing or replacement thereof (including as a result of any release from such
obligations in connection with being designated an exempt subsidiary by the Company (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) or any other Indebtedness for borrowed money
(including capital leases) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of
15% of the Companys Consolidated Net Worth (other than obligations arising under this
Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the 2012 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2012 Notes and the 2019 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2019 Notes) except where
resulting from a discharge or release as a result of payment under such guarantee;
provided
,
however
, that no Guarantor shall be released under this subsection unless the
Guarantor is substantially concurrently released from its guarantees under the 2012 Notes
Supplemental Indenture and the 2012 Notes and the 2019 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2019 Notes, or such guarantees have previously been terminated or released;
(ii) upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 6.4 hereof, of
which the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee; or
(iii) upon the sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the
equity interests or assets of the Guarantor to another Person (other than to the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates).
(2) A Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all
obligations under this Second Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder upon any Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to
the Notes, subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 1306 of the Indenture.
(3) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt
of a request of the Company accompanied by an Officers Certificate certifying as to the compliance
with this Section. Any Guarantor not so released will remain liable for the full amount of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes provided in this Second Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee.
SECTION 9.11.
Limitation of Guarantors Liability.
(1) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Second
Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum aggregate amount which,
after giving
40
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 Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this Second Supplemental Indenture, will result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(2) The Guarantee is expressly limited so that in no event, including the acceleration of the
maturity of the Securities, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in respect of interest on
the Securities (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) exceed the maximum
permissible amount under applicable law, as in effect on the date hereof and as subsequently
amended or modified to allow a greater amount of interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment

not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.
SECTION 9.13.
No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company.
Neither the Trustee, any Holder nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or
exhaust any rights or remedies or take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or

the Trustee, such Holder or such other Person is entitled to demand payment and performance by any
or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantee.
SECTION 9.14.
Execution and Delivery of the Guarantee.
(1) To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in this Article IX, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form of Section 3.4 hereof shall be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or
facsimile signature of an officer, manager or member, as applicable, of each Guarantor.
41
(2) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article IX
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a
notation of such Guarantee.
(3) If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Second Supplemental Indenture or
a Guarantee no longer holds that office or is no longer a manager or member, as applicable, at the
time the Trustee authenticates such Guarantee or at any time thereafter, such Guarantors Guarantee
of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.
(4) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture on
behalf of each Guarantor.
SECTION 9.15.
Successor Guarantor.
Unless otherwise released and discharged from its obligations in accordance with this Second
Supplemental Indenture, upon any consolidation or merger by any Guarantor with or into any other
Person, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or merger shall sign a supplemental

power of, the Guarantor under this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person has been named as a Guarantor herein, and thereafter the

Indenture or the Indenture unless:
(i) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing

made a written request, and offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to
institute a proceeding as Trustee;
(iii) the Trustee has failed to institute the requested proceeding within 60 calendar
days after receipt of such notice; and
(iv) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with the request during
that 60-day period.
(3) The Holder of any Note will have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, that Note as expressed therein, and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.
23

of its fiscal year a statement as to the absence of any Event of Default under this Third

on the terms set forth in the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate

shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:

Control Triggering Event;
(ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.3 and
that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment;
(iii) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment
Date,
which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60
days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the

); and
(iv) if the notice is mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book-entry) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered;
provided
that each new Note will be in
a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.
31
(4) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering
Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this
Section 6.3, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 6.3 by virtue of such conflicts.
(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to
repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes such an
offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer
made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided

SECTION 6.4.
Additional Guarantors.
(1) Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Target Companies shall merge into each of NextRx
Sub I, NextRx Sub II and NextRx Sub III and shall become successor guarantors to the NextRx Subs by
executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee. If, after the date of the
Indenture, any Subsidiary of the Company that is not then a Guarantor guarantees, becomes a
borrower or guarantor under, or grants any Lien to secure any obligations pursuant to, the Existing
Credit Facility or the Bridge Loan, any refinancing or replacement thereof or any other
Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of 15% of the Companys
Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the Companys most recent quarter for which financial
statements are available (such Consolidated Net Worth to be measured at the time of the incurrence
of each such guarantee or borrowing or the granting of such Lien), then in any such case such
Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the
Trustee promptly (but in any event, within two Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or
incurred such Indebtedness or granted such Lien, as the case may be).
(2) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Guarantee by a Guarantor that was issued
pursuant to this Section 6.4 solely as a result of its guarantee or incurrence of, or granting of a
Lien in respect of, any such Indebtedness shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon
the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiarys
Guarantee (or upon such Subsidiary ceasing to be a borrower or the release of Liens granted by such
Subsidiary, as the case may be), except a discharge or release as a result of payment under such
guarantee, or of the refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness that is guaranteed or
incurred by such Guarantor.

ARTICLE IX
Guarantors
Article 15 of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.
SECTION 9.1.
Guarantee.
(1) For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally and fully and
unconditionally guarantees (each a
Guarantee
), 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 Third Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes or the
obligations of the Company or any other Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be duly and
promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if
any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantor to the Holders of or
36
the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including fees, expenses or others) (collectively, the
Obligations
) will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Obligations (with or without notice to such Guarantor), the 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. If the Company shall fail to pay when due, or to perform,
any Obligations, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay in cash, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same promptly. An Event of Default
under this Third Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall entitle the Holders of the Notes to
accelerate the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Obligations of the Company.
(2) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Third Supplemental
Indenture or the 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 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the
Indenture or the Notes, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any
particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(3) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of
the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article IV of this Third Supplemental Indenture for the purposes
of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Obligations, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such
Obligations as provided in Article IV of this Third Supplemental Indenture, such Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the
purposes of its Guarantee.
SECTION 9.2.
Waiver.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives diligence,
presentment, demand of, payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes, this Third Supplemental Indenture
and Indenture.
SECTION 9.3.
Guarantee of Payment.
Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment,
performance and compliance when due and not a guarantee of
37
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any
Holder of the Notes to the security, if any, held for payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 9.4.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.
Subject to Section 9.10 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the obligations of each of the
Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, termination, impairment or
for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be
subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Trustee or any Holder of the
Notes to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Third Supplemental
Indenture, the Indenture or the Notes, any other guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in
the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission or delay to do any other act
that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).
SECTION 9.5.
Defenses of Company Waived.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on
or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
the Company, other than final payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each of the Guarantors
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates to impair or
to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of each of the
Guarantors against the Company or any security.
SECTION 9.6.
Continued Effectiveness.
Subject to Section 9.10 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, each of the Guarantors further
agrees that its Guarantee hereunder 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 Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
SECTION 9.7.
Subrogation.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right of each of the
Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and
38
will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, forthwith pay,
or cause to be paid, to the Holders in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations, and thereupon
the Holders shall, assign (except to the extent that such assignment would render a Guarantor a
creditor of the Company within the meaning of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code
as now in effect or hereafter amended or any comparable provision of any successor statute) the
amount of the Obligations owed to it and paid by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee to such
Guarantor, such assignment to be pro rata to the extent the Obligations in question were discharged
by such Guarantor, or make such other disposition thereof as such Guarantor shall direct (all
without recourse to the Holders, and without any representation or warranty by the Holders). If
(a) a Guarantor shall make payment to the Holders of all or any part of the Obligations and (b) all
the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be paid
in full, the Trustee will, at such Guarantors request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from such payment by such Guarantor.
SECTION 9.8.
Information.
Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Companys financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each of the
Guarantors assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
will have no duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 9.9.
Subordination.
Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Holders, as provided above, all rights of
such Guarantor against the Company, arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or
otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations to the Trustee;
provided
,
however
, that any right of
subrogation that such Guarantor may have pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture is subject
to Section 9.7 hereof.
SECTION 9.10.
Release of Guarantor.
(1) A Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Third Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder;
provided
that such Guarantor would not, immediately after such release and discharge, be required
to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof if such Guarantor had incurred its
then-existing guarantees, indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases) and Liens at
the time of such release and discharge:
39
(i) upon notice by the Company to the Trustee, at any time such Guarantor is not a
borrower or guarantor under, and has not granted any then-existing Lien to secure any
obligations pursuant to, the Existing Credit Facility as amended, or the Bridge Loan, any
refinancing or replacement thereof (including as a result of any release from such
obligations in connection with being designated an exempt subsidiary by the Company (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) or any other Indebtedness for borrowed money
(including capital leases) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of
15% of the Companys Consolidated Net Worth (other than obligations arising under this
Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the 2012 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2012 Notes and the 2014 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2014 Notes) except where
resulting from a discharge or release as a result of payment under such guarantee;
provided
,
however
, that no Guarantor shall be released under this subsection unless the
Guarantor is substantially concurrently released from its guarantees under the 2012 Notes
Supplemental Indenture and the 2012 Notes and the 2014 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the
2014 Notes, or such guarantees have previously been terminated or released;
(ii) upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 6.4 hereof, of
which the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee; or
(iii) upon the sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the
equity interests or assets of the Guarantor to another Person (other than to the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates).
(2) A Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all
obligations under this Third Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee without any action required
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder upon any Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance with respect to
the Notes, subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 1306 of the Indenture.
(3) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt
of a request of the Company accompanied by an Officers Certificate certifying as to the compliance
with this Section. Any Guarantor not so released will remain liable for the full amount of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes provided in this Third Supplemental
Indenture and its Guarantee.
SECTION 9.11.
Limitation of Guarantors Liability.
(1) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Third
Supplemental Indenture and its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum aggregate amount which,
after giving
40
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 Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this Third Supplemental Indenture, will result in the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(2) The Guarantee is expressly limited so that in no event, including the acceleration of the
maturity of the Securities, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in respect of interest on
the Securities (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) exceed the maximum
permissible amount under applicable law, as in effect on the date hereof and as subsequently
amended or modified to allow a greater amount of interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment
for the use of funds) to be paid under the Guarantee. If for any reason the amount in respect of
interest (or fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) required by the Guarantee
exceeds such maximum permissible amount, the obligation to pay interest under the Guarantee (or
fees or other amounts deemed payment for the use of funds) shall be automatically reduced to such
maximum permissible amount and any amounts collected by any holder of any Security in excess of the
permissible amount shall be automatically applied to reduce the outstanding principal on such
Security.
SECTION 9.12.
Contribution from Other Guarantors.
Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to
seek contribution from each other non-paying Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets
of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect
in the United States of America as of the date hereof so long as the exercise of such right does
