7.75% Senior Notes due 2021

On June 30, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), AMC Networks Inc. (“AMC Networks”) issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) to CSC Holdings, LLC (“CSC Holdings”), as partial consideration for the transfer to AMC Networks of the AMC Networks business on June 6, 2011. The transfer was made pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2011 (the “Contribution Agreement”), among AMC Networks, CSC Holdings and Cablevision Systems Corporation (“Cablevision”), and was in connection with the spin-off of AMC Networks from Cablevision (the “Spin-Off”), which was completed on June 30, 2011.

CSC Holdings, which was until the Spin-Off the direct parent of AMC Networks, transferred the Notes on the Closing Date to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and JPMorgan Chase Funding Inc. (the “Selling Noteholders”), in satisfaction and discharge of certain existing debt of CSC Holdings. Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2011, among the Company, the Selling Noteholders and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), the Selling Noteholders sold the Notes on the Closing Date to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”) in connection with the offering of the Notes (the “Offering”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of June 30, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among AMC Networks, certain of its subsidiaries, as Guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 7.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2012. The Notes mature on July 15, 2021.

The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 103.875% of the principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of such repurchase), declining annually to 100% of the principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of such repurchase) beginning on July 15, 2019.

In addition, if AMC Networks experiences a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the holders of the Notes may require AMC Networks to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of such repurchase).

The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of AMC Networks’ existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), subject to certain exceptions.

The Indenture contains certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to AMC Networks and its restricted subsidiaries. These include restrictions on AMC Networks’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments in entities that are not “Restricted Subsidiaries” (as defined in the Indenture), place liens on its assets, enter into certain affiliate transactions and make certain restricted payments, including restrictions on AMC Networks’ ability to pay dividends on its common stock.

The Indenture has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the description of the Indenture contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

In connection with the Offering, AMC Networks entered into the registration rights agreement, dated as of June 30, 2011 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among AMC Networks, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which AMC Networks agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes which will have terms identical in all material respects to the Notes except that the registered notes will not contain terms that provide for restrictions on transfer, and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC by July 1, 2012. In certain circumstances, AMC Networks may be required to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Notes by the holders thereof, in lieu of an exchange offer to such holders. AMC Networks will be required to pay specified additional interest on the Notes if it fails to comply with its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the description of the Registration Rights Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On June 30, 2011, AMC Networks, as Borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as restricted subsidiaries, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and L/C Issuer, the lenders party thereto and the other financial institutions party thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides AMC Networks with senior secured credit facilities consisting of a $1,130 million Term Loan A Facility (the “Term A Facility”), a $595 million Term Loan B Facility (the “Term B Facility”) and a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). On the Closing Date, AMC Networks issued approximately $577 million of borrowings under the Term B Facility (the “Contribution Loans”) to CSC Holdings as partial consideration for the transfer to AMC Networks of the AMC Networks business on June 6, 2011

pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. Pursuant to separate Payment in Satisfaction of Revolving Loan Agreements, dated as of June 22, 2011, between CSC Holdings and each of the Selling Noteholders, CSC Holdings transferred the Contribution Loans to the Selling Noteholders in satisfaction and discharge of certain existing debt of CSC Holdings. The Revolving Facility was not drawn upon on the Closing Date.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, which at the option of AMC Networks may be (1) for the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility, either (a) a base rate plus an additional rate ranging from 0.50% to 1.25% per annum (determined based on a cash flow ratio), or (b) a Eurodollar rate plus an additional rate ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% per annum (determined based on a cash flow ratio), and (2) for the Term B Facility, either (a) 2.00% per annum above the base rate, or (b) 3.00% per annum above a Eurodollar rate (and subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% per annum).

The Credit Agreement requires AMC Networks to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% (determined based on a cash flow ratio) in respect of the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Facility. AMC Networks is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of AMC Networks’ existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of AMC Networks and these subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants similar to those contained in the Indenture and also requires AMC Networks to comply with the following financial covenants: (i) a maximum ratio of net debt to annual operating cash flow (each defined in the Credit Agreement) of 7.00:1 initially, and decreasing in increments to 5.50:1 for periods on and after January 1, 2015; and (ii) a minimum ratio of annual operating cash flow to annual total interest expense (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.50:1 initially, increasing to 2.75:1 for periods on and after January 1, 2014.

The Credit Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the description of the Credit Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Section 104. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee .

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by 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. 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 Trust Indenture Act Section 315) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 105.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c), any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such solicitation is completed.

If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities then Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the Securities then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security or 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, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

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. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder.

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 mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 108. Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act .

If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Trust Indenture Act Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, or conflicts with any provision (an “incorporated provision”) required by or deemed to be included in this Indenture by operation of such Trust Indenture Act Sections, such imposed duties or incorporated provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

Section 109. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents .

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 110. Successors and Assigns .

Section 112. Benefits of Indenture .

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 114. Legal Holidays .

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, any date established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 307, or any Maturity with respect to any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, or date established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 307, or Maturity, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, or date established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 307, or Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 115. No Recourse Against Others .

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting any of the Securities waives and releases all such liability.

Section 116. U.S.A. Patriot Act .

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, as amended from time to time (the “USA Patriot Act”), the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they shall provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

Section 117. Force Majeure

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security 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 duly executed by the Trustee by

manual signature of one of its duly authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case the Company, pursuant to Article Eight, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the successor Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, Lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, Lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon written order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 303 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of any Holder but without expense to such Holder, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding held by such Holder for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

Except as described below, the Securities shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository in the form of one or more global note certificates (each a “Rule 144A Global Security”), for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby.

Securities purchased by persons outside the United States pursuant to sales in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository in the form of one or more global note certificates (each a “Regulation S Global Security”), for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities represented by a Regulation S Global Security shall not be exchangeable for Securities in registered definitive form (each a “Physical Security”) until the expiration of the “40-day restricted period” within the meaning of Rule 903(c)(3) of Regulation S under the Securities Act. During this 40-day restricted period, Regulation S Global Securities may only be held through Euroclear System and Clearstream Banking, S.A., unless transferred to a person that takes delivery through a Rule 144A Global Security. The Regulation S Global Securities shall bear the legend set forth in Section 206 and, in the case of Restricted Securities, the legend set forth in Section 205.

The two paragraphs immediately preceding shall not have effect until such time as the Trustee shall be instructed (in a Company Order or in a Holder’s instruction upon surrender for registration of transfer) to register the transfer of the Initial Securities upon surrender thereof

as a Rule 144A Global Security or a Regulation S Global Security, and until such time the Initial Securities shall be issued in certificated form in such denominations and registered in the name of such Holders as shall be set forth in a Company Order (with respect to the initial authentication and delivery of the Initial Securities) or in a Holder’s certificate of transfer upon surrender for registration of transfer, as set forth in this Section 303.

The Company may, subject to Article Ten of this Indenture and applicable law, issue under this Indenture Additional Securities and Exchange Securities therefor; provided , however , that the Company may not issue any Additional Securities if an Event of Default with respect to any Outstanding Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such issuance. All Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

Section 304. Temporary Securities .

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are typewritten, printed, lithographed, engraved or otherwise produced or produced by any combination of these methods, 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 conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

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 and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes 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 is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. Such Security Register shall distinguish between Initial Securities, Exchange Securities and Additional Securities.

Except as otherwise described in this Article Three, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002 for such purpose, 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 any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like 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; provided that no exchange of Initial Securities or Additional Securities for Exchange Securities shall occur until an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate confirming that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and the Initial Securities or Additional Securities to be exchanged for the Exchange Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and (subject to the provisions in the Initial Securities regarding the payment of additional interest) entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities 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 Security Registrar) 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing.

Every Restricted Security shall be subject to, and no transfer shall be made other than in accordance with, the restrictions on transfer provided in the legend set forth on the form of the face of each Restricted Security and the restrictions set forth in this Article Three, and the Holder of each Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer.

The Security Registrar shall notify the Company of any proposed transfer of a Restricted Security to any Person.

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 pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 303, 304 or 906 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on the close of business on such Interest Payment Date.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities .

If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them and any agent 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 upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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 replacement Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Securities under this Section 306, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 306 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 .

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.

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date and interest on such defaulted interest at the interest rate borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively 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 Subsection (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (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 proposed to be paid on each Security 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 Subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest that shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less 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. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less 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 (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 Subsection (b).

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, 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.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners .

Prior to the time of due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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 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 309, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 312. ISIN and CUSIP Numbers .

In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository for such Global Security or (y) if at any time the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security and the Trustee has received a written request from the Depository or (iii) the Company at any time notifies the Trustee, in writing, that it elects not to have Securities represented by a Global Security.

(d) Other Transfers .

Security is (a) freely transferable in accordance with Rule 144 by a person that is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company where no conditions under Rule 144 are then applicable (other than the holding period requirement of paragraph (d) of Rule 144 so long as such holding period requirement is satisfied at such time of determination), (b) does not bear any restrictive legends relating to the Securities Act and (c) does not bear a restrictive CUSIP number or (ii) (if earlier) if and when such Restricted Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Any Restricted Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for exchange to the Trustee or any transfer agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 305, be exchanged for a new Initial Security or any Additional Security, as the case may be, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by Section 205.

A Default under Section 501(c) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee in writing, of the Default, and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days (30 days in the case of a Default under Section 801, 1003, 1014 or 1015) after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” Such notice to the Company shall be given by the Trustee if so requested in writing by the Holders of 25% of the principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission .

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(g) or (h)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, voting together as a single class, by written notice to the Company and the agents, if any, under the Credit Agreement (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities to be due and payable, as specified below. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable 10 days after receipt by the Company of such written notice given hereunder. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(g) or (h) with respect to the Company occurs, the amounts described above shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Upon payment of such principal and interest, all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture, other than obligations under Section 606, shall terminate.

The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, voting together as a single class, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on the Securities which have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Securities because an Event of Default specified in Section 501(d) shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Securities, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day period which has not been cured or waived during such period.

Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee .

The Company covenants that if

(a) 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

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company shall, 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 interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, reasonable 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 and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings necessary to protect and enforce such rights.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) 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 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 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 this Indenture.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any proposal, plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition or other similar arrangement affecting the 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 and 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 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 this Indenture;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest; and

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.

Section 507. Limitation on Suits .

No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, voting together as a single class, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest .

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 (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective due dates expressed in such Security 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 the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, 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.

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 Security 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.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1007, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 1007(a), the Company shall be permitted to classify at the time of its incurrence such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 1007.

In addition, (A) any Indebtedness originally classified as incurred pursuant to clauses (1) through (18) above may later be reclassified by the Company such that it shall be deemed as having been incurred pursuant to another of such clauses to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be incurred pursuant to such new clause at the time of such reclassification and (B) any Indebtedness originally classified as

	(C)		neither the accrual of interest nor the accretion of original issue discount (to the extent provided for when the Indebtedness on which such interest is paid was originally issued) shall be considered an incurrence of Indebtedness; as applicable; and

	(D)		the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock (to the extent provided for when the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock on which such interest or dividend is paid was originally issued) shall not be considered an incurrence of Indebtedness.

The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless it is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities to the same extent. No Guarantor shall incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor unless it is subordinate in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee to the same extent. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind, except for Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any of its property or assets, whether owned at the date of this

Indenture or thereafter acquired, unless (x) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities, the Securities are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien and (y) in the case of any other Lien, the Securities are equally and ratably secured.

Section 1009. Limitation on Restricted Payments .

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1009, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Restricted Payment if (1) at the time of such proposed Restricted Payment, a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment, (2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto, have been prohibited from incurring at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Cash Flow Ratio test in Section 1007(a) or (3) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate of all Restricted Payments that shall have been made since the date of this Indenture would exceed the sum of $100.0 million plus an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Cumulative Cash Flow Credit and (ii) 1.4 multiplied by Cumulative Interest Expense.

For purposes of this Section 1009, the amount of any Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall be based upon Fair Market Value.

(9)

Restricted Payments made in connection with the Transactions as described in this offering memorandum.

For the purposes of this Section 1009, the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock upon conversion of Indebtedness shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the accreted value of such Indebtedness on the date of such conversion and the additional consideration, if any, the Company receives upon such conversion, minus any cash payment on account of fractional shares (such consideration, if in property other than cash, to be determined by the Company’s board of directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive).

(g) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 1015 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal or downgrade shall be calculated in accordance with Section 1009 as if such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the date of this Indenture.

(a) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance or sale would have been permitted to be made under Section 1009 if made on the date of such issuance or sale; or

Section 1020. Waiver of Certain Covenants .

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1007 through 1017 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.

(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount at maturity thereof to be redeemed. No Securities in amounts of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Securities and portions of Securities selected for redemption shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; provided that the unredeemed portion of Securities held by a Holder after giving effect to the redemption shall not

be in an amount of less than $2,000; and provided further that if all of the Securities of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Securities held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

Section 1103. Notice of Redemption .

(a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address.

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount at maturity of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security;

(iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(iv) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and become due on the date fixed for redemption;

(v) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

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

(b) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided , however , that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 1001 hereof.

The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of no less than 30 days and no more than 60 days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Securities required to be purchased pursuant to 1015 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Securities tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Securities so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Security (or portion thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Securities purchased in integral multiples of $2,000 only and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the

101

Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased;

(viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Securities surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Securities in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

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

On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful accept for payment on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Securities (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Securities tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities (or portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 1108. The Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than three days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Securities tendered by such Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Security. The Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Security to such Holder, in a principal amount at maturity equal to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered. Any Security not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on the Purchase Date.

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 such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities pursuant to a Repurchase Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with 1015 or 1108, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under 1015 or 1108 by virtue of such compliance.

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 1201. Note Guarantee .

(a) Subject to this Article Twelve, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of, this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 507, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other

103

prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 1202. Limitation on Guarantor Liability .

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute (i) a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee or (ii) an unlawful distribution under any applicable state law prohibiting shareholder distributions by an insolvent subsidiary to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or this Article Twelve, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or such an unlawful shareholder distribution.

Section 1203. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee .

(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1201, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit B shall be endorsed by an Officer or member of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1201 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Note Guarantee.

(c) If an Officer or member of a Guarantor whose signature is on a Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, such Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

(d) The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

(e) If required by Section 1013, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and notations of Note Guarantee in accordance with Section 1013 and this Article Twelve, to the extent applicable.

* * * * *

This Indenture may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Indenture.

2. Registration Under the Securities Act .

(a) Exchange Offer Registration . The Company and the Guarantors shall, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement with respect to Exchange Securities and use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 367 days after the Closing Date. Upon such Exchange Offer Registration Statement becoming effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall offer the Exchange Securities in return for surrender of the Securities.

The Exchange Offer shall remain open for not less than 20 Business Days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to Holders of the Securities. For the Securities surrendered to the Company and the Guarantors under the Exchange Offer, the Holder will receive Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Securities. Interest on the Exchange Securities shall accrue from the last maturity date of any interest installment on which interest was paid on the Security so surrendered (or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from June 30, 2011). The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related Exchange Offer Prospectus and accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law:

(i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered will be accepted for exchange;

(ii) the date of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a Business Day) (the “Exchange Date”);

(iii) that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and shall accrue interest at the initial rate borne by the Securities and, other than Registrable Securities referred to in Section 2(b)(iii) below, will not retain any rights under this Registration Rights Agreement;

(iv) that Holders electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such Registrable Security, together with letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York) specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date; and

(v) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw the election, not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date, by

sending to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York) specified in the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the number of shares of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Registrable Securities exchanged.

On the Exchange Date, the Company shall:

(i) accept for exchange Registrable Securities tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

(ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange by the Company, and issue and mail to each Holder or such Holder’s nominee, for the Registrable Securities so surrendered, new Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to that of the Registrable Securities surrendered by such Holder.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above, and in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws in connection with the Exchange Offer. Consummation of the Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not, and consummation of the Exchange Offer will not, violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC. The Initial Purchasers shall have the right to contact the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offer.

(b) Shelf Registration . In the event that (A) the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration provided in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be consummated because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the SEC staff, (B) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason consummated within 400 days after the Closing Date or (C) following the consummation of the Exchange Offer a Registration Statement must be filed and a Prospectus must be delivered by the Initial Purchasers in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Securities because such Registrable Securities represent an unsold allotment of the Registrable Securities purchased by the Initial Purchasers from the Company, unless the Company and the Guarantors have previously done so, the Company and the Guarantors will (a) file as soon as practicable after such determination or date, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities, (b) use their commercially reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and (c) keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until such time as the Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement are freely transferrable or such shorter period which will terminate when all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. In the event the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall file and have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which

may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company and the Guarantors further agree, if necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company and the Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

(c) Expenses . The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof.

(d) Effective Registration Statement . An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have been effective during the period of such interference, until the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume.

3. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer .

(a) The SEC staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the SEC staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers and other Persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.

(b) In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree that the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in each case as provided in clause (ii)

below, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the SEC staff recited in Section 3(a) above; provided that:

(i) the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 5(i), for a period exceeding 90 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 5 of this Agreement) and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company and the Guarantors to deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 3; and

(ii) the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the SEC staff or the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Company by the Initial Purchasers or with the reasonable request in writing to the Company by one or more broker-dealers who certify to the Initial Purchasers and the Company in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and provided further that, in connection with such application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 5 to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be one of the Initial Purchasers unless they collectively elect not to act as such representative, (y) to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be counsel to the Initial Purchasers unless such counsel elects not to so act and (z) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, “cold comfort” letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the last Exchange Date and with respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (i) above; provided , that the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) of this Section 3(b)(ii) shall apply only if one or more Participating Broker-Dealers holding at least $25,000,000 principal amount of Registrable Securities shall request that the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement for the disposition of Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers.

4. Liquidated Damages .

In the event that, for any reason, the Exchange Offer is not consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 400 ^th calendar day following the Closing Date, the interest rate borne by the Securities shall be increased by one-quarter of one percent per annum for the first 90 days following such 400-day period. Such interest rate will increase by an additional one-quarter of one percent per annum thereafter up to a maximum aggregate increase of one half of one percent per annum. Upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, the interest rate borne by the Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate.

5. Registration Procedures .

In connection with the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors with respect to the Registration Statement, if required, pursuant to Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (i) shall be selected by the Company and the Guarantors and (ii) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution as the Company and the Guarantors are so advised of by the selling Holders thereof and (iii) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include (including through incorporation by reference, if available to the Company and the Guarantors) all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective in accordance with Section 2 hereof;

(c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities;

(d) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such designated jurisdiction, provided, however, that none of the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to (i) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation or as a broker-dealer in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5(d), (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(e) in the case of a Shelf Registration, promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing (i) when such Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of the issuance by

(f) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement promptly and shall provide notice to each Holder of Registrable Securities of the withdrawal of any such order as promptly as practicable;

(g) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, at least one conformed copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested);

(h) in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least two business days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

(i) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(e)(iv) hereof, use their commercially reasonable best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(j) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, enter into and deliver all such customary agreements, documents and take such other actions (including causing the delivery of opinions of counsel and “comfort” letters of independent registered public accounting firms) as are reasonably required to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities;

(k) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon reasonable notice make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities and any attorney or accountant designated by the Selling Holders, at reasonable times and in a

reasonable manner, all financial and other records, pertinent documents and properties of the Company and the Guarantors, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that such representatives, attorneys or accountants shall be acceptable to the Company in its judgment reasonably exercised and shall agree to enter into a written confidentiality agreement mutually acceptable to the Company regarding any records, information or documents that are designated by the Company as confidential unless such records, information or documents are available to the public or disclosure of such records, information or documents is required by court or administrative order after the exhaustion of appeals therefrom and to use such information obtained pursuant to this provision only in connection with the transaction for which such information was obtained, and not for any other purpose;

(m) obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the effective date of any Registration Statement; and

In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may (as a condition to such Holder’s participation in a Shelf Registration) require each Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of any Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any (i) notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(e)(ii) or (iv) hereof, (ii) notice from the Company that it is in possession of material information that has not been disclosed to the public and the Company reasonably deems it to be advisable not to disclose such information in a registration statement or (iii) notice from the Company that it is in the process of a registered offering of securities and the Company reasonably deems it to be advisable to temporarily discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (in each case, such notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement and shall not be entitled to the benefits provided under Section 6 hereof with respect to any sales made by it in contravention of this paragraph, until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(i) or a notice in accordance with Section 5(f) hereof that any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement has been withdrawn, or, in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, until further notice from the Company that disposition of Registrable Securities may resume, provided that (except with respect to a Shelf Registration filed pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii)) such further notice will be given within 90 days of the Suspension Notice in the case of (ii) above and within 120 days of the Suspension Notice in the case of (iii) above, and provided further that in the case of (ii) and (iii) above that any Suspension Notice must be based upon a good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Executive Committee thereof that such Notice is necessary; and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, if necessary to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions or received notice that any order suspending dispositions of the Securities has been withdrawn.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities will furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, but only to the extent that such information is required in order to comply with the Securities Act or any relevant state securities or Blue Sky law or obligation. Each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Holder to the Company or of the happening of any event, in either case as a result of which any Prospectus relating to such

registration contains an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Holder or the distribution of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such Holder or the distribution of such Registrable Securities 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 to furnish to the Company promptly any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required such that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such holder or the distribution of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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.

6. Indemnification; Contribution .

(a) Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any Holder), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent it arises out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the

Company by any Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

The foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement contained in or any omission from a preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder (or any Person controlling such Holder) from whom the Person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of the Securities that are the subject thereof if the Company shall sustain the burden of proving that such Person was not conveyed a copy of any amendment or supplement thereto at or prior to the time of sale of such Securities to such Person and the untrue statement contained in or the omission from such preliminary prospectus was corrected in such amendment or supplement thereto.

(b) Each Holder severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, their respective directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than under this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action; provided , however , that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and one or more of the Holders, on the other hand; provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. As between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, such parties shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and

the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand, from the offering of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities included in such offering, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of the Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the relevant equitable considerations. For purposes of this Section 6, each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each director of the Company or any Guarantor, each officer of the Company or any Guarantor who signed the Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

7. Miscellaneous .
